Charles Johnson Now So Anti-Racist He's Denouncing Fake Racist Quotes

Charles Johnson was against fake but accurate before he was for it.

No link for the idiot. I'll just quote him. From a thread:

Top 10 Rush Limbaugh Racist Quotes.

All out of context, and sarcasm. Right?

That link I've left in provides a flurry of extremely dubious Limbaugh "quotes" -- and not a single link or citation. Including the ones created wholesale by noted scholar "zedladdy" and spread by no lesser authority than "cobra."

Given that "zedladdy" and "cobra" previously invented own quotes, spread them around, and then uploaded them to WikiQuote, I'd say pretty much every unsourced quote in this list is suspect. (Edit: I mean except the Donovan McNabb quote, which I know is real, since I heard it 'n stuff.)

But surely our crusading Mensa Chapter President wouldn't be taken in by an obvious false "quote" like:

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

And yet here's Johnson quoting it as "classic:"

A classic:

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

Charles Johnson read it on the internet, so it's true.

Well. I've read a lot of stuff on the internet about his unhealthy relationship with his bike's seat-post. Presumably this is all true as well.

Here he expounds upon Limbaugh's motive in saying things he did not in fact say.

Because it plays well with his audience, obviously. That's why he does everything.

It's pointed out the "quote" is bunk. Charles Johnson doesn't like the back-talk, of course.

There will be no retraction. The quote is disputed, but it has not been proven false. And there are plenty of other racist quotes that you seem to be just gliding right past that are NOT disputed.

Um, from that list? That list of very unlikely quotes all provided without a single link?

You know where this is heading, don't you? There is a penalty for embarrassing the global village idiot Charles Johnson, and he's not afraid to apply it... liberally.

If you want to disagree with my take, that's fine. But if you can't do it without being insulting, your account will be history.

You're wrong because I said so and if you continue disagreeing with me I'll kick you out of my idiot internet clubhouse.

Now that, truly, is "classic."

Thanks to N. I'll keep the rest of his name secret in case he still posts over at the Little Gulag Funhouse and doesn't want to be banned.

Charles Johnson

So scary-smart he splits atoms... with his mind.

Charles (LGF) should never have turned on the right, Ace, for example is a pitt bull who won’t give up on exposing Charles for the phony he is. Go Ace!

[dirtboy]

but it has not been proven false.

Neither have the TANG memos, according to Ms. Mapes.

Nice company you're keeping there, CJ - demanding that someone prove a negative.

[GeronL]

I remember Charles Johnson saying he would have loved to joined the French Culture Minister in Thailand.

^{This quote is bogus, for entertainment purposes only}

I remember Charles Johnson waxing elegantly about his lovely Honduran houseboy.

^{This quote is bogus, for entertainment purposes only}

I heard that Charles Johnson once said 'I'd given anything to give Robert Reich a Lewinsky'

^{This quote is bogus, for entertainment purposes only}

These quotes are just as accurate as the ones he is peddling.

He can try to prove them false. Of course he knows thats not the standard. Charles Johnson can't have gotten so dumb as not to know that you can't prove negatives and that the burden of proof is on the one making the allegations.

[Right Cal Gal]

Charles Johnson has finally become Dan Rather.
Fake but accurate, right?

[a fool in paradise]

There will be no retraction. The quote is disputed, but it has not been proven false. And there are plenty of other racist quotes that you seem to be just gliding right past that are NOT disputed.

He really ought NOT to go there. That is the same lame assed partisan excuse that Dan Rather tried during the 2004 scampaign.

Really really surprising considering he came up with this graphic and posted it to LGF.

[faucetman]

If Charles doesn’t specifically deny your allegations right here on this thread by noon today, ten they MUST BE TRUE. Right?

[Right Cal Gal]

Well, I hope he has a good lawyer. Apparently Rush has said he’ll be pursuing legal action against the libel. I’m happy to see him no longer playing Mr. Nice Guy when it comes to these slanders.

Oh, and Johnson regularly smears Freep on his blog, calling this place a cesspool of racism.

Let’s see — 300,000 registered users, 1.2 million view daily or something like that - jealousy’s an ugly thing, Johnson, especially when it was postings on THIS site that tipped YOU off re the Rather memos - on which you made your reputation. Compare the humility of “Someone else would have found it if I hadn’t” Buckhead with your “Look at me! Look at me! attitude.

[a fool in paradise]

Have you ever read his wikipedia profile page?

[dirtboy]

Charles Johnson can't have gotten so dumb

Reconsider your premises.

[a fool in paradise]

They were on the internet.

[faucetman]

ten = then

[dirtboy]

Thanks for the link. I particularly liked this entry:

Charles has been frequently accused of animal abuse.[11] These charges are in dispute, but have not been proven false.

[Right Cal Gal]

I guess the Lizard King forgot the legal standard and doesn’t realize that Limbaugh doesn’t have to prove the quote is FALSE - Johnson has to prove the quote is TRUE.

[nomoremods]

I heard Rush say that yesterday. Rush also said this all started with a blogger and they know who that blogger is and they’re going after him/her. Wonder if it’s Charles?

He also said he’s going after every station that ran these quotes without sourcing them. This is going to be fun.

[GeronL]

Yea CJ, we're calling you out, you have until noon to prove that you don't have a lovely Honduran houseboy boytoy. Or it must be true. Is his name Pedro?

^{Extreme Parody. This post for entertainment purposes only}

[GeronL]

I doubt Rush will go after LGF until after he deals with MSNBC, CNN, ESPN, daily papers etc etc

[GeronL]

I know. I always presume that people have at least one firing snyaptic nerve if they can breathe. It’s one of my faults.

[a fool in paradise]

He also said he’s going after every station that ran these quotes without sourcing them. This is going to be fun.

Not sure if that litigation will pan out.

IF they said "according to an MS-NBC report, Rush Limbaugh said..." then they could be off the hook. Such as it is when you "break" a story.

An interstate criminal conspiracy to keep him from buying a team could bring RICO charges (interstate racketeering). And then you get all the tookies, not just the money he was deprived.

[Right Cal Gal]

I’ve long thought that Johnson sold his blog and some other dimwit is running it, the way it’s done a 180. All his decent posters have gone to LGF 2.0, Grouchy Conservative Pundits and Correspondence Committee.

Then he sends his racist troll Kilgore Trout out to post bombs at Hot Air in the middle of the night so that they can point to Hot Air as a racist blog (when the comments aren’t removed because the moderators are asleep). Then he sends out some harpie by the name of Irish Rose to pick a fight with Zombie over his/her refusal to delete anti-Charles posts from her blog.

So now Charles has banned zombie. Zombie of all people. He says he “made” him or her by letter him post on the LGF blog. Oh please.

Charles - you are SO 2004. Get over yourself.
