The Universe is so fickle and complicated the progressives wish they could Foster it, in a very small sense. At least they can fib on their observations of its complex import where matter has, to now, still ambiguous ways on behaving in a system that is altogether still an unknown.

@ Speranza:
My observation is that he wanted to be a “kingmaker” of sorts after Rathergate. But, his limitations became more and more apparent as time passed. Rather than stay part of the team, he started libeling people like Geller, Spencer, McCain in order to aggrandize himself. The problem is that he’s alienated himself from the right and the left won’t trust him–ever. There’s no need to stalk him; all of his wounds are self-inflicted and he is his own worst enemy.
The comments under the Jim Hoft post at Gateway Pundit are hysterical, by the way.
calcajun wrote:
after listening to his interview I am convinced (actually I did not need the interview to convince me) how inarticulate he is and what a lousy debater he is without the banning stick. He hems and haws and the interviewer was not being hostile towards him.
I do agree with you taht he had this sense of entitlement form the Right that he would be a “leader” and when they failed to fall into line, he nursed his anger and planned his betrayal. Sort of like Benedict Arnold brooding over his lack of appreciation from the Continental Congress.
@ Speranza:
I know. In fact, he reminds me in a way of Rush Limbaugh. Rush is, of course, very very good at what he does (not that CJ is). But, I remember the 2002 mid-term elections when Rush was a guest commentator sitting next to Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert. The latter two outshone Rush as Rush was simply out of his element and perhaps comfort zone. CJ is much worse in the interview–for reasons which might go beyond just being a “deer in the head-lights”.
@ lobo91:
islam is blasphemy because it says Jesus was not the Son of God and didn’t die on the cross.

Yes I recall Rush on TV. He has the personality for radio not TV. CJ was totally inarticulate tonight and sounded defensive and unsure of himself.
Last year I wrote that the tow best interviewers on TV were Chris Wallace and Tim Russert. Now I think that Wallace and Fox News’s Majro Garrett are the two best (now that Britt Hume is retired).

That’s where he gets hung up on libel. If I state that “Obama, in my opinion, like dressing gerbils in lederhosen” as opposed to “Obama likes dressing gerbils in lederhosen”– the former is an opinion and is protected.

Turns out, he was right. (Especially after we translated the Verona cables)
It was the Democrats in HUAC that went overboard…. constantly demanding he make his lists public (in an attempt to TRY to find someone innocent so they could trash everything he’s done.) on a daily basis, even though they had access to the lists behind closed doors….. interrupting his speeches, screaming and yelling and banging on tables, etc.
Then HUAC went nuts (some say as a way to defend communists) making outlandish claims about people in Hollywood and in other walks of life.
McCarthy did was HUAC ordered him to do: Look for communist spies and sympathizers in the federal government. That is exactly what he did.

CJ mimics the rest of the left when it comes to politics. It’s all emotional rather than being logical (and yet they’re the ones who accuse the right wing of being anti-intellectual and anti-science).
CJ and the rest of the left are always upset by the EMOTIONS that they assign to their political enemies. They build these emotional strawmen and then attack them with emotional arguments.

He has problems with folks who disagree with him, that’s obvious; but if his opinions were so rock-solid, why does he hide behind the registration door?
It’s amusing how he’s so critical of the blogs he stalks who he claims are stalking him. He’s starved for attention, so he throws fits to get it. I feel sorry for people like that.
I just think it is important to remind ourselves that, as people more conservative than Charles Johnson of Little Green…. something-or-other, we are clearly racists who hate Obama because he is black…. which is actually a fresh departure from our gay-bashing and theocracy-building efforts.
Anyway, time for bed I think. Someone has to fix PDAs…

On a certain level its all very sad, watching the intellectual meltdown of a grown man who at one time had some valuable insights.

What valuable insights? He is not an innovator, and he’s barely a reporter since his commenters forwarded him the important stuff. All CJ did was broadcast it, and I’ll give him credit for that… and the, um, great photo artistry.
@ Bunk X:
I had a nostalgic moment from my days there. It passed.
@ MrPaulRevere:
I kept my mouth shut. We’ll pretend it never happened.
@ Bunk X:
I agree. He provided the venue, but that’s all.
What made LGF worthwhile was the community of people who posted there, and he made a conscious decision to destroy that.
@ Bunk X:
Thanks! Have a great Sunday netizens.
@ MrPaulRevere:
G’nite PR.

Bring in iton then. Btw I was not even talking to you and the fact that you needed to jump in tells me you are an asshole.
Btw… I called up a talkshow talking about global warming and I synchronized pictures to it and put it on youtube: Vegetation Pollution II and Global Warming
Also, here’s my first discussion of Vegetation Pollution with the author of “The Political Incorrect Guide to Global Warming.” Ma href=”http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=underzog#p/u/38/xG7jM4H6fGM”>Vegetation Pollution I
When then canidate Reagan talk about the latest EPA research in 1979, pointing out that plants cause 80% of pollution, he was talking about certain plants giving off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as isoprene giving off by certain plants. Then Candidate Reagan was widely ridiculed for telling the truth while the EPA now labels carbon dioxide (which we all exhale) a pollutant.
Go figure!
Oops. I wrote the last hyperlink wrong. Try again: Vegetation Pollution I
