Charles Johnson: ‘A Fat, Bloated, Beady-Eyed Jerkoff’

Posted on | January 8, 2010 | 15 Comments

So says Zip of Weasel Zippers, describing with brutal objectivity the subject of a puff-piece column in today’s Los Angeles Times. (Via Memeorandum.)

Smitty may have more to say about this later. I’m in Costa Mesa this afternoon with JSF of Valley of the Shadow, and just wanted to get up a quick note about this. I woke up at 6 a.m. today on JSF’s sofa in Burbank and went for breakfast at Eat N’ Park (“Best Omelettes in Burbank”), picked up the paper to see their coverage of the ‘Bama Championship Show and — wham! — here was 1,200 words of journalistic fellatio.

The MSM knows who their friends are, and so Johnson’s self-serving version of his departure from the Right sanity is given no critical scrutiny by L.A. Times columnist James Rainey.

Hey, James: Why didn’t you ask Charles about his vicious attacks on Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and other anti-jihad bloggers? Better yet, James, why not ask Pamela and Robert themselves? They’re not nearly as reclusive as the paranoid agoraphobic wanker you managed to interview in person.

Exit question: Why is the media biased against Alabama?

UPDATE: JSF points out the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot factor: Of all the bloggers in L.A., why did Rainey decide to profile Johnson?

    Looks like Charles has finally found that “Strange New Respect” he’s been wanting since RatherGate.

    What were you doing reading anything but the Sports section of the LA Times?

    I live in LA and I stay a long way from that piece of trash. I would expect no less from them than a loving write up of Captain Queeg.

    What is with that That is not me! This is me. I demand the lizoid nation complain to: [email protected]

    James Rainey slandered me as such: “I won’t pretend to have read enough of the husky, pony-tailed blogger’s work to give a full report card on his tactics, or politics.”

    Rainey is obviously a racist Creationist bigot and a tool of the right wing.

    Rainey is an unrepentant lefty of the first order. Only get the Left Angeles Times for the Sunday coupons and stuffing to mail packages. Even the sports section is permeated with lefties. But, a point of note. When someone moves to the right. An example is Mitt Romney on abortion, that person is just pandering. But when someone goes the other way, he or she gets a fellow traveller to write a 1,200 word hummer. Amazing!

    Did you notice how I did not link LGF to this article? Why do you think I chose not to do that? Because this liar used me. Clearly James Rainey is an anti vaccine white supremacist.
