‘Obama Derangement Syndrome’ Symptoms Include Ironic Flashbacks

Posted on Comments

People who live in deranged houses should not throw crazy stones, as Tim Blair shatters Charles Johnson’s delusions of normalcy:

Born-again leftoid Charles Johnson denounces the “tidal wave of right wing nuttiness directed at Barack Obama”. Fair enough, in several cases; that birther obsession, for one, is downright crazy. But it’s a little rich for flippy Charlie to rail against “Obama Derangement Syndrome” when for several recent years Johnson himself was a serious sufferer.

Blair’s list of “a few examples” is damningly long, proving CJ didn’t succumb to Sudden Onset Crazy. It’s chronic.

  1. Son of a beech, I wrote that? I have to go back and purge my own site of my own comments. I may have to ban myself.

    Okay, those posts were by little Charles, the little man who lives in my shorts. I am banning little Charles from posting again.

  7. “Born again” is too good a phrase to use on that hack-job. He “converted”–as in “converted to Islam.” Or sold his soul to the devil.

    Bonus: It would be highly entertaining if an expert reporter would investigate what caused CJ’s apparent changes, both in his personality and his positions. Most people do not undergo such dramatic changes at his age.

    Maybe we should change the subject.

  13. Today, Australian climate change denier Tim Blair breaks a huge blog-related story that had somehow gone unnoticed before he began digging — Blair has uncovered the stunning fact that during the presidential election I was opposed to Barack Obama.

    How did Blair discover this amazing amount of heretofore unknown evidence that I’ve changed my mind about Obama? Did he scour the web for deleted posts, diligently searching Google’s cache and the Internet Archive?

    Well, actually, no. He searched LGF, using the search tool I programmed, and found a whole lot of posts written by me, all of which are still posted publicly. He must have spent hours finding things that aren’t hidden. Good work, fearless investigator!

    I was very opposed to Obama during the election, yep, that’s right. And I’ve learned since then that most of the crap being circulated about Obama was just that — crap. He has not turned out to be a radical leftist at all, despite the continued screaming from the right. On the contrary, he’s shown himself to be a centrist on most issues, and the best evidence is that extremists on both the left and the right are angry at him.

    If I had it to do over, I’d vote for Obama without hesitation. I’m very thankful that McCain and Palin aren’t in office.

    I’m not even remotely ashamed to admit publicly that I’ve changed my mind about President Obama. And that’s obviously puzzling, confusing, and threatening to petrified brains like Blair’s.

  17. In a nut shell (because I am such a nut) I was basically at bat shit crazy as Glenn Beck, but not any more. Because I am evolving. I am no longer a Neanderthal sexist racist fascit pig like I once was. Well, I am still a sexist. But was I really resent, what just burns me up, is Beck raking in the bucks for peddling crazy and me…no so much.

    The injustice of it all makes me sick.
