And them birds have a nice target, right here!
According to James Rainey of the Times:
In Johnson’s mind, he has not really changed but merely shifted his focus. Where once he was preoccupied with national security, staking out a hawkish, pro-military position, he now spends more time focusing on his liberal social views, and gripes with conservatives who disagree. “I like to think,” he told me this week, “I am pretty independent of [the] political winds.”
But not totally immune. As I talked to Johnson in his office, an alert flashed on one of his two giant computer monitors. An angry screed targeting him on another website concluded: “I think a visit to Mr. Johnson’s home might be warranted. Anybody got his address?”
Such veiled threats are at least one reason why Johnson, 56, relocated not long ago. He remains in the Los Angeles area, but now is in a gated community.
The man who once decried vitriol spread on liberal websites now says: “The kinds of hate mail and the kinds of attacks I am getting from the right wing are way beyond anything I got when I was criticizing the left or even radical Islam.”
Gee, do you think it might be cause he is a complete lunatic?

I’ve speculated on some of the possibilities before. Eh, it’s boring to talk about…but it might make for another comic strip.

She had several brushes with death over the years while in Africa. The worst was when she was in Uganda, and Idi Amin issued an order to kill/expel all the missionaries. She barely escaped, as troops were moving in on her convoy. Friends of the nuns had to distract the soldiers, so they could get away.

is a stunning admission by Paul Kirk and the Beacon Hill political machine,” said Brown in a statement. “Paul Kirk appears to be suggesting that he, Deval Patrick, and (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid intend to stall the election certification until the health care bill is rammed through Congress, even if that means defying the will of the people of Massachusetts. As we’ve already seen from the backroom deals and kickbacks cut by the Democrats in Washington, they intend to do anything and everything to pass their controversial health care plan. But threatening to ignore the results of a free election and steal this Senate vote from the people of Massachusetts takes their schemes to a whole new level. Martha Coakley should immediately disavow this threat from one of her campaign’s leading supporters.”

This from Tim Blair’s blog at the Daily Telegraph:-
Maybe the greater surprise isn’t that Charles Johnson became a left-wing blogger, but that he’s become such an incredibly inept / http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/91288/ and error-prone http://ace.mu.nu/archives/293599.php / left-wing blogger. The once-forensic Johnson hasn’t landed a punch since he changed teams (or reverted). http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/565_so_we_can_have_cheney
Then again, it could be argued that Charles is still hurting the left – by the ingenious tactic of first reinventing himself http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/change4/ and then bringing himself down. http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/somethings_wrong/
In fact, that could explain everything; Charles has become a leftoid in order to further discredit leftists. Because he sure isn’t going to crush conservatism by running pieces like this … http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/35541_Tonights_Creationist_Message_from_Sarah_Palin

re: #692 Gus 802
That funny. I was actually pretty amped up too and pounded away at the keyboard to register. Upon reflection, I never read too many comments, mostly what Charles had to say. In the early days it was about “the long war” which something I related with. It expanded from there and I’m glad it did.
I originally took a closer look at the comments precisely because I was coming from the left blogosphere. Don’t remember if i told you I was a lefty blogger quite a long time ago (like 2004), but a tiny blog and focussed on mocking the religious right and posting random humor. I hadn’t really engaged with the rest of the blogosphere.
Later, after I’d stopped blogging, I was looking at the political blogosphere in general, and I used to occassionally dip into a comment thread and skim a dozen or so to kind of take the temperature of ‘how the right thinks’ on an issue. Unlike the right blogosphere then, and even now, the left side is way bigger, and several blogs do nothing but track the excesses of the rightwing blogosphere. That’s why I have all this familiarity with places like Ace, Pammy, etc. Charles’s posts always stood out as sane, compared to the right. Plus he always had the focus on anti-science issues, and I’d been following creationism in schools since at least 2005, on science blogs and also a small PA blog completely devoted to tracking Dover vs Kitzmiller.
I’d seen cherry picked comments, and had this idea that everyone here was like Iron Fist. I started to get suspicious, and by checking the comments I discovered that many of those claims by the left were distortions, and in some cases outright lies. Like Sharmuta, for example– it was a very common claim on left blogs to say “there is a commenter named Sharmuta’ and infer some awful anti-muslim agenda from that. Which isn’t the case at all. It’s no coincidence that most of the comments on the LGF or Late German Fascists quiz are practically all by Iron Fist.
I was reading back in 2007 or whenever it was that CJ called out Spencer and the shrieking harpy on VB. And no one gave him any credit for that til recently. Dave Weigel did do a good story on it, but not til this year, I think. So I was aware of all that. And it became clear that the comments were the result of his reluctance to play cop. Also, once joining here I understood why Iron fist, for example, hadn’t been banned sooner. Not just because CJ didn’t want to play cop, but because he had been around for a while and in his other persona IF would be rational. If he’d been ‘genocide boy’ all the time I’m sure CJ would have banned him a lot sooner.
Heh. True story: “seakitteh’ was the name I had originally picked out for LGF, but when I finally caught an open reg I was so excited i forgot it. (I’d caught one earlier, once, and JUST missed getting in! By the time I hit enter it was shut again.)
I’d been reading the posts here but not the comment threads like 3 or 4 times a week for years and never saw open reg.
I’m also seakitteh elsewhere on some places defending CJ — raw story, I think, when they ran that pro-CJ piece last year.

@ Bumr50:
I’m not expecting anything either. Just the fact that there’s even a chance of an ‘R’ victory in Ted Kenne(hic) Kenne (hic) Kenne (hic) Kennedy’s old seat is beautiful!

There seems to be HUGE national support, as I’ve been solicited by friends(PA) to donate to the Brown campaign.

@ mfhorn:
“George Bush-Karl Rove shadowy attack politics have no place in the race for Ted Kennedy’s seat or in Massachusetts politics,” Kerry said in a statement.”
So according to John F’n Kerry, no matter what happens it is still Ted Kennedy’s seat.
@ African Moondog:
How typically and predictably liberal.
Is it considered overkill in lib circles to invoke Bush and Rove in the same disparaging remark?
It’s like it loses a little impact every time they use it.

There is, however, a place for Ted Kennedy, SanFranNan, Harry Reid attack politics.

And creationism in schools….uhh that doesnt seem to be catching on,nor spreading like wildfire…unlike leftwing indoctrination(Bush hatred,teaching AGW like its fact,etc,etc)which has had a foothold for decades.Its like chasing after a mosquito,while a pteranodon is destroying your car.

I beg to differ with Mr. Costa’s view that Steele’s being in it (at least in part) for himself is a bad thing. It’s a quality that I like, and I think that that sentiment is shared among many that I come across.

I have no doubt that the majority of the threats he receives are from the National Socialists groups over in Europe. He has had a bug up his ass about them since they started considering him an ally back when he was going after Radical Islamic groups.
The left wing sites started calling Chucky a racist via the convenient “guilt by association” labeling tool which Chuck so dearly enjoys using himself so he turned on them viciously and when some of his dingbat gadflies started convincing Chuck that National Socialist = Rightwing, Chuck had to do a 180 to avoid getting plastered with his “Guilt by association” tool. So he now is back tracking form his well cultivated Conservative image to avoid being a target of his own favorite tool of labeling.
Such reversals are evidence of an inflated ego compounding a burdensome insecurity. If his path continues, I foresee the possibility of a complete meltdown.

Morning All (Not Here)
I’ve not been able to get online much since my deployment to Afghan, and when I am it’s mostly spent with my family. I’m in the Kandahar AO, and have to say things are much worst here than the last deployment. Won’t go into detail, because I feel it’s not the right thing to do, but let’s just say..look for much more bad news from here before good. Even the soldiers and leaders of the Afghan Army feel the U.S. will pull out before they are ready or able to handle things on their on. This puts many of them on the fence when it comes showing allegiance in this mess. Our Gov is not showing resolve in seeing this through, so we may see more of the things like that from the CIA camp. What ever our Gov does will determine how things go here. Let’s just say morale within our own forces isn’t all that high now, and I don’t see that changing in the near future.
Some have asked, what they could do to help me while I’m here (ie..things needed and so forth). Here’s what I’d like to see done. As an Active duty soldier (regular Army) I’ve got it somewhat good if that’s how you can describe things, but I’d like to bring to your attention something that really ticks me off.
For the most part active duty units are well taken care of with the small things needed to improve our daily lives (well established Family Support Groups) from our respective state side Army Post. This is not always the case when it comes to the National Guard/Army Reserve Forces sent to war. The Family Support Groups for these units are put together in many cases at the time the units are deployed. They are underfunded and have to depend on the resources from their communities (which in some cases are limited). They are in some cases looked at as second class soldiers (by leadership and Active Units) which is another story within itself. Maybe I will get into this subject in depth at a later time…but I digress. Please find a National Guard Unit or Reserve Unit in one of our members state and adopt/sponsor them while on deployment (my family and close friends are doing this with a unit now). Help their Family Support Group with the little things they may need. Sponsor the Unit by name on the Blog if that can be done, keep doing that with another unit when that one is redeployed. The best you guys can do for me is to not back down keeping this Admin dancing trying to withstand the fire you place below their feet, and to please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

I forgot to explain why I think a meltdown is imminent.
The reason why the GBA tool (guilt by association) is so dangerous is because ultimately, such irrational logic will circle around on itself and the user of the tool will soon find that there is no limit to the degrees of separation to which the GBA tool can be used. See the Six Degrees of Separation Theory. Eventually there is no place to hide as this tool is eventually turned on its user by detractors and the user sinks deeper and deeper into irrational logic to protect his ego, reputation, etc. that he then begins to sound less and less rational only to perpetuate the downward spiral until the ego is smashed upon the jagged rocks of self loathing. Then he will wonder the streets mumbling epithets and pissing himself while searching for food scraps from dumpsters.

So Chuckie had something pop up on his over-compensatingly large screen with a threat message. Heck, given the technical abilities of your average person, an IM from his Blackberry to his AOL Messenger account would have likely sufficed to be an impressive “Internet-BOT”
Has anyone anywhere found and verified the website that contains this “threat”?
I stand by my earlier comment that Chuckie is living proof of evolution. He has evolved a “Laptop shelf belly” that allows him to type on and read his laptop from a reclined position.

Regarding:
No, Johnson gripes about conservatives.
Johnson does not gripe with conservatives, he bans them from his blog.
Re:
A lot of conservatives act like tough guys and have big mouths, but they aren’t going to actually carry out a threat of violence, unlike, say, extremist Muslims who went on a rampage after some paper published photos of Mohammed.
And y’know, I have never directed any vitriol at Johnson. I’ve been critical of his view points and such, but I’ve not done anything like even uttered a fat joke about him.
I’ve stated before that I don’t condone threats of violence against him, and I’m not even comfortable with ad hominem attacks against the guy.
But that doesn’t stop Johnson from lumping me (and people like me) in with the people who do those sorts of things, or from lumping in peaceful, pro-Creationism Christians such as myself with “anti science” and/or violent people like radical Muslims.
Correction:
Previously I wrote,
“…photos of Mohammed.”
I meant cartoons.
@ Nikis Knight:
I was wondering about that myself.
Comment by Johnson in the LA Times article:
What an absolute straw man argument.
In order for me, a Christian Creationist, to get a high school and a college degree (or even to make it through grade school and junior high), I had to take the same science courses as all the other kids, and -here’s the part that would kill Johnson- I usually made “A’s” in those courses (sometimes B’s).
I had to study all the pro-evolution crap and withstand and learn the Darwinist propaganda in order pass courses and get degrees. I had no choice.
I always disagreed with macro-evolution and its presuppositions that undergirded other subjects taught, but I studied it so I could pass tests.
At no time did I ever walk up to a teacher or professor and say, “Look, I totally disagree with Darwinism, and I take the Bible literally, including the creation story in Genesis, so I expect you to fully exempt me from any and all evolution material and tests.” That never happened.
I had to sit through lectures on macro evolution just like every other kid. Had to take the same tests and pass them to get credit.
A follow up to my post above:
If kids today are weak on science, it has absolutely nothing to do with the notion that some conservatives / Christians are advising their kids not to blindly accept Macro Evolution.
(As a matter of fact, home schooled kids in the USA, many of whom are Christians, are usually smarter than their public-schooled counterparts.)
I went to school in the 1980s and college in the 1990s. Many of my peers were LAZY.
They would not invest the time to study and master material. Many of my peers back then wanted to sleep during class and get drunk on weekends.
Couple that laziness with some school systems not requiring kids to master meaningful material (math, science, reading), and the refusal some school systems have to hand out failing grades (lest it damage the kid’s self esteem), and you have a recipe for cranking out ignorant kids.
You can stick a book about Darwinism / Macro Evolution into a 14 year old kid’s hands, but if he refuses to read it, study it and pay attention to it, then he’s not going to learn the material. That problem has nothing to do with Christians, creationism, Intelligent Design, etc.
Quote from Johnson in the article:
That, I suspect, is part of the problem. I don’t think he was ever “born again.” Meaning, I don’t think the guy ever accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. (Salvation is by grace through faith alone in Jesus.)
Being raised in whatever denomination, having Christian parents, reading the Bible, doing good deeds, going to church, whatever- is not enough. None of those things makes a person a Christian.
He has indeed bloated himself.
Probably due to all the bloviating.
That must be why no more pictures of his super-duper carbon bicycle (I hope he paid his carbon offsets!)
