Charles Johnson is a Low-Life Who Abuses the Holocaust to Make Cheap Political Points

Charles Johnson has proven himself to be a scoundrel and a low-life. I can't believe that I used to respect his work over at LGF. Now he has taken to calling anyone skeptical of 'Global Warming', "deniers". Of course, the term "denier" is meant to conjure up visions of holocaust deniers, the lowest form of humanity. It's hard to imagine a greater abuse of holocaust imagery, just to make a cheap political point.

Of course, it would be easy to turn the argument on Johnson by calling him a "climategate denier", but that would be stooping too low.

Not content with comparing anyone who questions the great Global Warming fraud to Holocaust deniers, Johnson was quick to smear the entire Swiss people for voting to restrict Muslim minarets across Switzerland. He compared the vote to "turning Jews over to the Nazi's", another typical abuse of Holocaust imagery. Muslim minarets (not a requirement of the religion) are tall towers above mosques meant to dominate the skyline, and symbolize the dominance of Islam. They are usually fitted with loudspeakers that blare out Muslim calls to prayer five times a day. Gee I can't imagine why they should be restricted in Switzerland. Remember, Mosques are not restricted, just the minarets. Johnson thinks that's the same as truing Jews over to Nazi's. A truly sick individual who has lost his mind.

Iran & Israel Make Peace in the NBA

This was no big deal for the Israeli player, but for the Iranian player it was an act of bravery, because back home in Iran, he could be arrested by the Islamo-fascist regime for such a simple act of humanity. Good for him.

AP Assign Eleven "fact Checkers" to Palin's New Book

Mark Steyn:

AP writers Matt Apuzzo, Sharon Theimer, Tom Raum, Rita Beamish, Beth Fouhy, H. Josef Hebert, Justin D. Pritchard, Garance Burke, Dan Joling and Lewis Shaine contributed to this report.

Wow. That’s ten “AP writers” plus Calvin Woodward, the AP writer whose twinkling pen honed the above contributions into the turgid sludge of the actual report. That’s 11 writers for a 695-word report. What on? Obamacare? The Iranian nuke program? The upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

No, the Associated Press assigned 11 writers to “fact-check” Sarah Palin’s new book, and in return the 11 fact-checkers triumphantly unearthed six errors. That’s 1.8333333 writers for each error. What earth-shattering misstatements did they uncover for this impressive investment? Stand well back:

Prejean - Sex Tapes and Conservatisim?

I'm sorry but this woman is a complete idiot and a publicity hound. Those conservatives who signed her on as some kind of spokeswoman were duped (not this site thankfully). Here she is lecturing Larry King about being "inappropriate". I hope her raunchy sex video is posted on YouTube (apparently there are 17 of them). How is that for "inappropriate"?

It's Official: Hell Has Frozen Over....

Via the always titillating Sondra Kay: The lefty-gay Hillbuzz blog is coming clean on Bush. Finally acknowledging that although imperfect like all of us, he is a good and decent man. The trigger was George and Laura's quiet visit to Fort Hood immediately following the terrorist attack, but the reversal is sweeping:

You may be as surprised by this as we are ourselves, but from this day forward George W. and Laura Bush are now on the same list for us as the Clintons, Geraldine Ferraro, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and the other political figures we keep in our hearts and never allow anyone to badmouth.

Criticize their policies academically and intelligently and discuss the Bush presidency in historical and political terms…but you mess with the Bushes personally and, from this day forward, you’ll answer to us.

We hope someday to be able to thank George W. and Laura in person for all they’ve done, and continue to do. They didn’t have to head to Ft. Hood. That was not their responsibility.

The Obamas should have done that.

Read the entire thing. Read the comments. I was absolutely floored and moved. These guys clearly have integrity.

America Has Lost It's Collective Mind

I hate to say this, but Americans are collectively proving to be about as dumb as dumb gets. David Horowitz explains:

A Muslim fanatic with an Internet site praising Islamic suicide bombers as defenders of their comrades is a Major in the U.S. Army with access to military intelligence and lethal weaponry. And it’s not as though the army didn’t know that he was a Muslim fanatic and supporter of the Islamic jihad against the West. He was under investigation for six months because of his anti-American, jihadist rantings. He did not want to be deployed. He wanted to be discharged.

But despite his identification with America’s enemies, the army kept him in its officer corps. How in God’s name was this possible? But it was. And so, after calling America the “aggressor” in Afghanistan and Iraq this Muslim jihadist traitor army officer picks up his semi-automatic weapons and heads for the center at Ft. Hood where soldiers are being deployed to fight the jihadists in Afghanistan to conduct his massacre. Yet this morning the Fox News Channel chiron says “Investigators search for a motive in the Ft. Hood killings.” Is everybody out of their mind?

The President of the United States no less, declares that we "should avoid jumping to conclusions" about a man shouting Allahu Akbar while massacring US soldiers. That we should all keep an open mind about a Jihadist who worshipped at the same mosque as three of the 9/11 hijackers. Lets remember that even during WWII, US soldiers were never massacred in the United States. It was the worst terror attack in America since 9/11, yet the media have taken to pretending that they have no idea what may have motivated the Muslim fanatic to kill US soldiers. Even worse, they broadcast excuses for his actions. Laughably, they refrain from even suggesting what is obvious to any person with any degree of intelligence.

In Short. Americans have collectively decided to either play dumb, or are in fact the dumbest collection of people on the planet, led by a leader who encourages the willful stupidity. What a disgrace, what an embarrassment.

UPDATE: In the most bizarre exercise in intellectual gymnastics, TIME Magazine asserts with a straight face that it was "secondary trauma" that caused the radical Islamic shooter to yell Allahu Akbar and murder everyone in site. The 'Twinkies defense' is no longer the most absurd excuse in American history.

UPDATE: Local Texas Muslim interviews on the BBC. Remember, Obama said that we should not jump to conclusions: You see, in any normal society, this person would be hiding for his own safety. Instead he openly mocks the average American, justifies the killings and basically states that Americans are too dumb and naive to confront his ideology. He feels perfectly comfortable stating this to mainstream media, giving his real name. And then people wonder why things like this happen.

It Must Have Been a Swedish Grandmother who Attacked Fort Hood

You can call him "French youth", or a Swedish grandmother, or someone suffering from "PRE" traumatic-stress disorder. He is certainly the victim because somebody may have called him a bad name at some point in his life. The President of the United States even says that we should "not jump to conclusions" about a man shouting "allahu akbar" and murdering everyone in site. We should all keep an open mind about that. Of course, any reference to the 'religion of peace' would be discrimination... and God forbid that we should discriminate between good and evil.

Wouldn't be great if everyone could afford to ride out the Obama administration like this. It's the kind of bailout I could go for:

THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1968, 41 years ago - Astonishing!

You probably don't remember the name Eric Hoffer. He was a longshoreman who turned into a philosopher, wrote columns for newspapers and some books. He was a non-Jewish American social philosopher. He was born in 1902 and died in 1983, after writing nine books and winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His first book, The True Believer, published in 1951, was widely recognized as a classic.

Here is one of his columns from 1968 -- 41 years ago! Some things never change.

ISRAEL'S PECULIAR POSITION...by Eric Hoffer - LA Times 5/26/68

The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.

Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees.

Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single one. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.

Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious, it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world. Other nations, when they are defeated, survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed.

Had Nasser triumphed last June [1967], he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews. No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on.

There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Blacks are executed in Rhodesia. But, when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one demonstrated against him. The Swedes, who were ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we did in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troops in Norway.

The Jews are alone in the world.

If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. and Jewish resources. Yet at this moment, Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us.

And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer [1967] had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war, to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.

I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us all.
