BARF - Little Green Footballs: Free Republic Reacts to Ron Paul’s White Supremacist Links
Little Green Footballs ^ | 2-2-2012 | Charles Johnson

Posted on 02/03/2012 7:00:21 AM PST by jmc813

Today at the far right fever swamp known as Free Republic, somebody posted a link to our latest article about Ron Paul’s connections to the white supremacist subculture, which led to an amusing and revealing sequence of comments.

*snip*

Then, when it finally sank in that they were talking about an article at Little Green Footballs, they dropped this uncomfortable line of discussion and united to attack their common enemy instead:

Charles Johnson is just weird. I was an infrequent poster over at LGF for a few years after he seemingly had an epiphany post-9/11. Then he started backsliding to the left again and got more and more erratic. I finally got banned over there not because I posted anything objectionable, but because I “downvoted” one of his replies to a post. That’s it. He said something stupid, I downvoted it, and I was immediately banned with no explanation and no opportunity for appeal.

I don’t even read over there anymore. He’s gone totally moonbat since about 2009.

The posters to that thread think Ron Paul is a big favorite over here. Smug and ignorant.

true but the search engines will draw the association and indicate this as a kook paul site.

LGF must have dropped too much traffic.

I never read the site, unless it’s quoted here. That said, every time I see someone post idiotic comments that make this site look racist or worse, I cringe, and know that somewhere it’s going to appear on somebody’s screen capture—all too often, it’s on a show with high ratings, like O’Reilly. I may not watch O’R, but millions do.

Which is why he did it (took on Freep) - he wanted the hits. He has no real traffic anymore, no one links to him, and so he makes provocative comments to try to get people to visit his site. He continually snarks on Rush or Beck trying to get a mention on their shows but they aren’t playing. To give you an idea, this is some of the brilliance “Chucky Cheetos Johnson” has evidenced:

1. Thought the Tennessee State flag being flown at a TEA Party rally in 2010 was a flag with obscure Nazi symbols.

2. Said Breitbart was “framing” Weiner and still is convinced to this day that he was. Flatly maintains that the menu board in front of the restaurant was Breitbart’s laptop open to show photos to Ann Coulter.

3. Continually posts headlines that turn out to be over a year old. Does no real research on his own.

But I remember him best, even when he was an ersatz conservate, for pretty much claiming HE was the one who was responsible for getting Dan Rather with his silly little visual aid .gif file (which was actually suggested by someone else) - never credited Buckhead with the discovery or acknowledged him.

I admit I got a chuckle from the demented Chuckles, but can Freepers please stop linking to that freak’s site.

Like anyone here really give a rat’s hind foot about LGF or Chunky Cheetos and his online cult. We don’t change jack in our comments because you’re listening in, jerk. You don’t matter. Period.

Hey Chunk, will you send your little internet warrior, KKKilgore Trout, over here to post racist comments at 3:00 a.m like you did to Hot Air?

Oh, and he whines all the time about “stalker” sites that hold him up to ridicule, like Breitbart and Diary of Daedalus, for taking his postings and comments and making fun of them (Breitbart does it on Twitter).

Of course, prior to his “conversion to the left” he did the same thing to Daily KOS, Huffington Post and Democratic Underground before he wanted them to be his new best friends.

LOL. LGF? I forgot all about that website, apparently a lot of folks did as its traffic dropped off. I guess folks got bored with all the hate speech over there became an echo chamber for the hard left and LGBT crowd.

Alexa reports traffic is down there 21% over the past 3 months alone.

He definitely thinks outside the cramped little boxes into which people constrain themselves. Love it! :)
