Followup: Chuck Johnson Calls NY Magazine Editor After Seeing Our Article

Cyberstalker
Weird • Views: 54,729

Here’s an update to my earlier article on New York Magazine editor Abraham Riesman’s story about Chuck Johnson. Riesman said that in 2008, Chuck Johnson told him he had seen video of Barack Obama calling Deval Patrick the n-word, and that Chuck himself used the n-word repeatedly in a “blaccent.”

Following my publication of Riesman’s tweets, Johnson actually phoned Riesman to intimidate him, and deny he said anything about seeing a video. And this is a perfect example of what Chuck Johnson does — spews hate speech, then tries to intimidate people who call him out for it.

And in case you had any doubt about whether Chuck is still stalking LGF:

A postscript: Abraham Riesman said it was “a civil phone call,” but make no mistake — Chuck was enraged by his tweets. Here’s what he posted to his private Facebook account after he saw the LGF article:

UPDATE at 6/24/15 11:44:52 am by Charles Johnson

Note the date on that Facebook post, by the way: June 19. I didn’t post Abraham Riesman’s tweets until June 23. So Chuck was actually lying to Riesman when he said he only saw the tweets after they were embedded at LGF.

Funny thing…I vaguely remember UpChuck mentioning that very same video in a series of tweets quite some time ago.

Is there any photo of CCJ that does not make him seem insanely creepy?

Also, I wonder when he’ll try to register an account here and comment?

Charles, thanks for calling attention to your upcoming appearance on the Bob & Chez show. I had seen it but never listened to it, just subscribed and listened to the last few shows, great podcast!

he only “strategically” uses the n-word.

And for what strategy would that be, you ugly little white supremacist?

First rule of tweeting about Chuck C Johnson is NOT to tweet about Chuck C Johnson.

Wrong approach in my opinion. Possibly a good example of civil disobedience, but it also shifts the focus even further away.

A friend posted this on FB this morning:

Circa 1970 Boy Scout uniform shirt with a Confederate battle flag on the sleeve. This is from Troop 536 in Lubbock, Texas. The friend was in Troop 536 in the 80s and they definitely did not use a Confederate flag by that time.
For my part, I left the Boy scouts for the Civil Air Patrol when I turned 13. Besides actual airplanes, they had cooler looking uniforms than the scouts and these were provided free of charge (a consideration for my cash strapped parents). They also had girls, a factor I was beginning to notice.

Why does the flag look clearer than the rest of the shirt?

I don’t think it’s a fail, I think it’s entirely intentional and done by someone of the Pamela Geller mindset of trying to pissed off someone of another faith.

re: #16 Charles Johnson

As Johnson explained it to The Mirror, a woman named “Candace” — the root of all evil -got him kicked out.

“Maybe it was my wit,” he remarked. “Typical RINO trying to do me in apparently.”

Yes, that must be it.

re: #19 makeitstop

Yeah. No bueno.

I agree. Nikki Haley has done the right thing in delegitimizing the Confederate battle flag by calling for it’s removal from the SC capitol grounds, and other states that have some semblance of that flag seem to be following suit. The process should play out before there are acts of civil disobedience.

Probably because of the simpler and more familiar shape and design. This is a 300% enlargement of the patch. As you can see, the resolution is about the same as the nearby patch. The stars and edges are about as blurred as similar details on the other patch.

I’m amazed it’s taken this long for someone to try it.

Why take it down? Get some folks with nice tall poles and just surround the damn thing with US flags. 13 of them, let’s say. As with that bizarre statue in Nashville, just because the thing is legally required to be there doesn’t mean someone else can’t just as legally obscure it from view.

Oh please, Ben. If it was Joseph McCarthy’s ‘political correctness’ you’d be all over it.

Rome fell for the same reason all great societies do; the elites, the people who make the decisions about the shape and direction of society, started confusing their own well being for the well being of the society they are responsible for.

Hmmm. Why does this sound familiar?
