Talentless Paranoid Schizophrenic Re-Enters Acting-Up/Attention-Getting Mode

I guess traffic is down at LGF. So it must be time for Charles Johnson to post a substance-free entry in order to induce a lot of people to link to him.

I avoided this all day. I know that a lot of people are going to click over, and thereby reward him for doing nothing more than putting up a juvenile insult. All I can say is that you can't comment there -- you're either already banned, or will be banned the moment you comment -- so what is the point of clicking over?

If you "want to read the commenters," oh, for God's sake, what do you think the comments say? Charles Johnson only permits his most trusted cultists to post, so all the comments are of this variety:

nice snag Charles...maybe there is a future for your research skills at the Library of Congress!...this little blurb is a great context observation...what goes round, comes round

...

[From Johnson himself, adding some much-needed nuance:] The only difference between this slogan and the religious right's current slogans is that they've learned not to use the term "race mixing."

...

Rotten. It drives me crazy that we still have the same kind of loons we used to have when my father was a kid. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

...

[Johnson again:] I've posted dozens and dozens of photos of Tea Party signs that are every bit as disgusting as the signs you see above.

But hey. Let's just forget about all that. Right?

...

[When someone objects that he shouldn't make the case that all tea partiers are anti-race-mixing racists, Johnson claims he hasn't:] And that's why nobody has made such a case.

...

Thanks for posting this, Charles. I'm sure you'll get a lot of hell from the people who think Limbaugh and RSMcCain don't have a racist bone in their bodies.

Particularly since the spitting/racial slurs episode, the baggers really have started to resemble previous angry mobs--lynch mobs, segregationist mobs, anti-immigrant mobs.

And so on. The tongue-bathing continues (with management's compulsion of tongue-bating, of course), all for a childish link-bait post that contains a single stupid thought -- and a though that the "brave" blogger Johnson immediately disowns to boot. Remember, right after posting a blogpost claiming that Tea Partiers were the new anti-miscegenationists, he immediately disclaims any intent to make that case at all.

So it's a post that not even Johnson will stand behind.

Here's the post in its entirety, so you don't have to click over, but of course you will, because so many of you are on pins and needles about what unexpected insight Sharmutra and Kilgore Trout will have about Johnson's post:

Tea Partiers, Circa 1950

This didn’t start with Barack Obama’s election.

Oh, and remember, Johnson continues utilizing the very special talents of noted censor/racial-slur-artiste Kilgore Trout, who spams the n-word on other people's sites when he's not busy banning anyone who disagrees with Mad King Charles.

And remember too -- what Johnson finds so positively reprehensible is people carrying Obama=Hitler signs, but apparently slurring the right as Hitleresque... I guess it's elevated or something.

What some stooge puts on a sign, Charles Johnson puts on his blog, but he calls himself clever for doing so.

There's an old saying that success is like a fart, only your own don't stink. So it is with political extremism, especially as practiced by paranoiacs like Charles Johnson. He lectures others on civility and moderation while sticking his face in his ass and burbling over how sweet his own farts smell.

I don't mind a bit of extremism here and there, but please, save us the lectures.

Incidentally, it's sort of time to note once again that all Charles Johnson ever did was take someone else's newsworthy work (Buckethead from FreeRepublic) and make a gif out of two bits of text. That bit of theft is his claim to fame.

I should also note -- this is a bit late, but what the hell -- that Johnson had a bad reputation among right-of-center bloggers. If you sent Charles Johnson a tip, he rarely gave you a prominent link for it. What he tended to do is steal the guts of your tip -- your story, your find, even your analysis -- and put it all up on his blog with only a perfunctory hat-tip at the end. Taking the whole guts of what you'd sent him and putting it up on his site, leaving nothing behind for anyone to click on with that useless hat-tip at the end.

Your tip, his traffic. Pretty much he's built his blog on stealing stuff from his betters. (And then, later, slandering his betters.)
