Hey Larry, thanks for the heads up!
We will never forget.

It was a dark and stormy night. I was sitting back in the Mad Mammoth study, reviewing the latest threads on Free Republic, when my MSN Messenger icon barked that I had an email waiting.
I went to my InBox. What did I find? I had a very angry email from some schnook called 'lcjohnso' taking me to task for some long forgotten post I made on FR. Called me out. Wanted my address. Wanted to visit me with a bunch of his pals "anytime, anyplace", I'm wondering to myself "WTF is this nonsense?"
So I responded in a fairly cavalier manner, basically telling the misfit to pound sand and "get off the computer before your mommy gets home from the store".
I didn't think any more of it.
Until - "bark bark", MSN Icon was informing me of another NEW email!
I go to the InBox. Sure enough, it's this lcjohnso clown again, and that's when I realized it was really the one and only Larry C. Johnson, self-proclaimed expert on "intelligence", "terrorism", and author of that infamous NYT article in the Summer of 2001 claiming that terrorism was a "declining threat".
I poured another glass of Hiram Walker, on the rocks. I wondered what Johnson must be drinking, was it Boone Farm, Thunderbird, or M/D 20-20?
This time, I let him have both barrels and reminded him how pathetic it must be for him, a highly touted "intelligence analyst" to be reduced to trying to intimidate a lowly poster on Free Republic.
I signed off by encouraging him to "get professional help".
Haven't heard from him since, but since my original posts

have been deleted by the moderator, freepmail me if you'd like the precise details, headers, and email contents.
Little Larry is NOT patriotic, is NOT smart, and is ex-CIA for the very reason that he's dumb. Dumber than the rocks in my yard.
This fool wrote that we were too concerned about terrorism. In July 2001.
It's reading stuff about Larry that makes me realize just how vulnerable we were pre-9/11. He couldn't find a terrorist if he tripped over one.
Bump
When I saw your post I knew I had heard that name before and been highly incensed by the moronic statements he had made. Here is a link and a picture of the clueless wonder. Apparently he seeks out publicity and has been on Frontline several times - of course who else but a PBS outfit. The scary thing is that someone of such low calibre worked for the CIA.

We will never forget.
Yesterday, Mr. Johnson was a guest on a Baltimore radio talk show defending Ms. Plame. He basically contradicted himself when he said that he knew she was undercover since he was her friend from CIA days......but FREAKED OUT on some callers who pointed out that he shouldn't know she was undercover if he was no longer with the CIA.
He struck me as a real Clymer.
He is definitely seeking publicity. He was even on our local afternoon talk show yesterday. The host is a libertarian who is rabidly against the War in Iraq. I called in to challenge him on Ms Plame's secret status when she used her husband's name linked with her phony company's name to contribute to the Gore campaign. I asked him why he knew what her status was since he left the CIA in 1989. He got very agitated and his voice rose several notches, that anyone would challenge him.
I hope the Fitzgerald Special Prosecution is looking at all these 'former' govt employees.
LOL! Freepers are everywhere. See #66!
I don't understand. How did he get your Messenger name or whatever it's called to begin with? (maybe he used his CIA decoder ring?)
(By the way, during my recent rants about our Attorney General Al "La Raza" Gonzalez, I thought to myself--here I am posting negative things about the guy who probably comes closest to being "big brother" than anybody else in this country....oh well, too late to change what I posted, I guess.)
I really don't care for the way you put the bad-mouth on MD 20-20.................
It has far more excellent qualities than Boones Farm or T-bird.
I reccommend you do the research to find out!
MM had a hot mail addy on his home page...
He looks like Mickey Rooney.
"From 1985 through September 1989 Mr. Johnson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. During his distinguished career, he received training in paramilitary operations, worked in the Directorate of Operations, served in the CIA’s Operation’s Center, and established himself as a prolific analyst in the Directorate of Intelligence."
Does this mean that for four years, CIA bosses who thought he was a yutz kept transferring him around the place to get him out of their hair?
Sounds like it, and then they punted him over to the State Dept.
I got a complaint about "spamming keywords," whatever that means, on an al Fuqra/BPanthers thread that was sent months and months after my last post- or anyone's last post on that thread. It's not like I use keywords that don't relate to the threads- but some loser got his panties in a wad about it. Never did say which key word was allegedly "spam," and which were not though, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to "cut it out." ;-)
LOL! He DOES need professional help.
SCORE!
I've been wondering why Fitzgerald was taking so long. Now I see why! Methinks he turned over some rocks and found this nest of scorpions, pincers up, ready for battle, and he's sorting out the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys.'
This should be interesting when it all shakes out!
I hope the Fitzgerald Special Prosecution is looking at all these 'former' govt employees.
