Larry Johnson's latest vile hit diary on Obama gets slammed by every Frontpager on DailyKos.

[beachmom]

Read it if you can stomach it (it was in a post on GDP by Roger Fox who said L.J. "has jumped the shark"). But the one comforting thing was that all the frontpagers of DailyKos commented in the diary. Thing is, the FPers rarely if ever get involved in the primary wars. A few have them have said who they voted for, but they're pretty fair and usually report on other news. So it is significant that Larry Johnson has been completely shamed for the filth he wrote:

I'm not sure I've every seen a diary (4+ / 0-)

Composed of such utter, sanctimonious bullshit.

Late to the party (15+ / 0-)

But, if you are reading the comments, I'd like to tell you that you're a racist jackass, and you're full of yourself.

Courtesy phone calling Mr. Johnson... it's LGF and Free Republic calling. Your presence is wanted at the upcoming RNC.

It's embarrassing (21+ / 0-)

...to see how far you've fallen, peddling this bullshit, racist crap. You should take this over to LGF. They'll love you there.

Ah. So now you're a psychologist ... (23+ / 0-)

...as well as all your other feats, LC?

I have many criticisms of Senator Obama. But this line of yours is the fattest turd in a pile of doozies:

Easily manipulated by the father figures he desperately seeks and gratified by the adulation of the masses, he is buying into his "man of destiny" nonsense.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose. - Frederick Douglass

1. You might want to heed Larry Johnson's warning

Some of what he's saying is what I've also been telling people. Barack has been enjoying a honeymoon period with the media but that won't last forever. You'd better fasten you seat belts once the honeymoon is over and you can't say you haven't been warned.

[Tellurian]

3. The comments following the initial OP are unremarkable and ring hollow..

the nascent insurgency of Obama's campaign will see his negatives grow. It all goes with the territory. Unless you naively believe the entire country is one Big Obamapalooza and he will be carried on a cloud to the White House as our next president.

Not all of us feel compelled to bend at the knee for a candidate no one knows nothing about..and what little we do know from our own discovery, is hardly encouragement Obama is all his autobiographical embellishments say he is..

[beachmom]

25. Unbelievable!! The guy is spewing right wing clap trap, and you're

saying heed his warning? It is no surprise that the Right will lie about our candidate. The point is to pick THE BEST candidate. Obama is the one who has run a stellar campaign. Obama is the one who has stuck consistently to his message throughout his campaign. Obama is the one who has handled the attacks on him with calm, cool, and grace. I can't say that about Hillary, who has made many missteps, gone nasty negative, had no Plan B when Plan A didn't work for her campaign, and has had recent staff shake ups (doesn't give me the warm and fuzzy feeling).

And I have researched Barack Obama, thank you very much, and I base my assessments on, you know, FACTS.

[NashVegas]

33. OHMYGOD ... The Audacity of Irony

Certain people have been pissed off about Obama using RW talking points to attack fellow Democrats with, for weeks, and now, you're upset someone else would do it?

[beachmom]

37. Okay, it is obvious that Hillary supporters are tone deaf to

what is crossing the line.

[karynnj]

41. That's only because some have defined ANY criticism of Clinton to be RW

I have seen people say mention of Monica is RW - yet everyone of voting age knows all about that - even those first time voters who were in middle school then - as anyone who drove any car pools knows.

In fact, it is the RW "litany" of Clinton problems that protects the Clintons here, among Democratic partisans. So many were and are complete lies, that we developed a kneejerk response to defend the Clintons without even examining the issues. It is US who fought back against the RW for the Clintons, far more than them fighting back.

[JAbuchan08]

56. "In fact, it is the RW "litany" of Clinton problems that protects the Clintons here"

exactly, if Clinton supporters tag any criticism of her as "RW" and beneath answering than they don't have to answer any of them.

[grantcart]

2. My only reaction is

Is that all they got?

Really I expected something with all of the warnings.

The Clinton campaign and their minions have all excuses and no mojo.

[theHandpuppet]

4. When the real shit starts hitting the fan...

... it won't be "the Clinton campaign and their minions". You ain't seen nothing yet, as the saying goes.

[DemGa]

5. Daily Kos is an Obama lovefest

The only thing more popular there is smearing the Clintons.

Really, they get far too much credit.

[beachmom]

26. Not the community, THE EDITORS. Please point out to me a front page

post that "smears the Clintons". They don't get involved in the primary wars much (Markos has done the most, and he is not in my list on this post), and in fact, play referee when things get out of hand, usually putting the blame on both sides.

Are you really going to defend Larry Johnson's post? Because it crossed the line, and shows he doesn't care much about the Democratic Party, only Hillary.

[stillcool]

6. The surrogates...

are coming out of the woodwork. I'm surprised they are all showing their hand at the same time.

[FogerRox]

7. I asked that the diary be deleted

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/2/13/16439/2257/464#c464

and slammed Larry here at DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4578675

[incapsulated]

16. NO DISSENT ALLOWED

GOOD FOR YOU A GOLD STAR, COMRADE.

[beachmom]

27. So are you suggesting that McCain supporters are allowed to post on DailyKos?

How about Ron Paul supporters? Republicans for the war who call those against the war traitors? How about the Swiftboaters? The fact is that DailyKos is a partisan site for Democrats. Larry Johnson's diary had nothing to do with furthering ANY Democratic cause.

[Coexist]

31. I LOVE CAPS LOCK, TOO!

[saracat]

17. Why should it have been deleted?Because you disagree with it?

You are certainly full of yourself. It is not yet required that all support Obama.

[ProSense]

23. It should stay up as the commentors are making mince out of LJ's smear

It's utterly embarrassing!

[FogerRox]

51. By the Rules, Hunter has posted the rulles when "Troll rating" was changed to "Hiding a comment"

By the rules, Larrys diary was eligible to be deleted.

[motocicleta]

8. Ouch!

Every "frontpager on daily kos" slammed LJ? Well goddamn, quoting shitheads on another website must now properly substitute for intelligence. It would, I am sure, pull points from my IQ to deconstruct that mess you posted above, so I will simply get to the point:

This is by far the lamest, most inconsequential hit job I have ever seen on the web. You can take your fellacious love of DK and piss off, eh?

[beachmom]

28. Have you read Larry Johnson's piece of filth diary?

If you support that kind of shit, then you clearly have NO senses of decency.

[motocicleta]

46. 100% correct

I have no senses of decency.

[bridgit]

9. No, Johnson is an American that has earned the stripes he wears

He's been tested, and this only tends to prove the lengths to which Obama supporters will throw virtually *anyone* under *any* bus that says anything contrary to the message they prefer to hear about Obama

http://www.democracynow.org/2005/10/31/former_cia_agent_larry_johnson_bush

[beachmom]

29. Nope. I USED to respect him, and now I don't. And that goes for a LOT

of people, even some honest and decent Hillary supporters.

[bridgit]

45. people can be fickle, they change their minds all the time

[kurth]

10. "What we have, ladies and gents, is another Establishment Man"

"What we have, ladies and gents, is another Establishment Man. Easily manipulated by the father figures he desperately seeks and gratified by the adulation of the masses, he is buying into his "man of destiny" nonsense. Many in the public are seized with this religious, worshipful madness. Unfortunately, Obama, conquering hero is riding in the parade and soaked in the praise of frenetic crowds. He has received very little pushback so far. But it will come."

Good stuff.

[Tellurian]

13. Words of wisdom.. and the Establishment Man is witnessing a warning shot over his bow..

He looks like a fish out of water...er...out of his element.

Obama's braggadocio of being 'skinny but tuff' deflates before our eyes, when the elder McCain speaks..

[ProSense]

22. Establishment as opposed to Hillary, Bill (and the Bushes), Penn, Carville (and Matalin), McAwful?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

11. Larry Johnson - the latest to be thrown under the bus by Obamaites

the road is now littered by the corpses....

[FrenchieCat]

12. list them.

[Tellurian]

14. Presumptuousness is always good for a laugh...especially when it's carved in stone!

How long have you been holding on to that canard?

[johnnydrama]

18. that's hilarious

Presumptuosness??? Nice pink circle you have there, :rofl:

[karynnj]

43. It's actually true if you consider HRC to be an exceptionally good candidate

Given that assumption, the fact that a black man could survive SuperTuesday and now be better positioned to win the Presidency than she is says that a black man could win now or in the future. The CW for a long time was that the incredible HRC, with her 2 term President husband, many allies from his administration and at least 2 years of the media speaking of "inevitable" would have destroyed ANY opponent.

Whether you like Obama or not, he has demonstrated that it is not impossible.

[beachmom]

32. So people can say whatever the fuck they want? Smear with abandon?

So that is now the standard? The Democratic Party NO DIFFERENT than the Republican Party in that we can make up whatever lies we want, whatever smears we choose, as long as we WIN?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

42. or sacrificied on the Altar of Obama...just like John Edwards&Joe Wilson next will it be Al Gore?...

They'll sacrifice anybody who doesn't fall over and worship Him

[incapsulated]

15. You mean he DARED say the King has no clothes?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD THERE WILL BE NO DISSENT ALLOWED IN THE NATION OF OBAMASTAN.

You are free to call Hillary the anti-Christ, however.

Have an OBAMATASTIC DAY!

[Capn Sunshine]

19. I think the term "Fuck Off" has lost all meaning

else I would use it here Hillary hasn't seen 44 in 16 years, and it was the only time in her life that it will be apropos.

[PDittie]

20. Those recipes were fabulous

Shrimp and grits in cream gravy. That almost makes me horny.

[ProSense]

21. Amazing!

The Clinton smear machine thrives

Mark Penn's arrogance

[ProSense]

24. In support of Hillary, classy excerpt from Larry "Racist" Johnson

In the meantime, we have to watch the equivalent of a papal coronation, as the media and fans exhult in the Obama Messiah, the black Jesus come to save us. But sometime in the next four months, the excitement will fade as the reality of who Obama is comes out.

<...>

Now I know Obamaphiles will simply bend over and stick their head in their neighbor's ass and proclaim the putrid aroma as the heaven-sent breath of God. They will say this means nothing and is just carping.

WTF is this man on?

[FogerRox]

52. The Black Jesus and then the Brutus comments were quite strange too.

[bunnies]

55. Imagine the reaction if he'd have said that crap about Clinton?

I cant believe Im seeing people making excuses for this kind of bashing. Funnier still - these are the same people whining about how "rude" Obama supporters are. Ironic.

[AX10]

30. Kos has his head up Obama' ass.

What else would one expect from his posters?

[ProSense]

Larry

is that you?

It was an idiotic and vile comment for him to make about nearly 10 million Americans who have voted for Obama thus far in the primary and it isn't any better coming from you.

[AX10]

35. You Obambots have had the knives out for HRC from day one?

What about the 10 million plus who are offended by your attacks on her?

[ProSense]

36. Have a link to anyone claiming Hillary's supporters have "their heads up their asses"?

The problem is supporting baseless and vile commentary like Johnson's and everything else disgusting being pushed by Hillary's campaign and surrogates

[beachmom]

34. Seems to me it is Larry Johnson who has his head up someone's ass.

Because I don't recall any frontpager EVER writing tripe like this about anyone.

[mmonk]

38. It's my turn to call him a minion and surrogate.

Though I haven't, I'm happy to have been given this opportunity.

[indimuse]

39. Larry Johnson..CIA guy?

anyway... he's right! obama and his fans have not even begun to experience what the msm and rw have-in store...IF it weren't so serious...would almost be comical how bush like his followers are!

[AX10]

40. or how Bush-Like Obama is for that matter.

[JDPriestly]

44. Larry Johnson is right.

I can't figure out the appeal of Obama other than his slick talk. Obama is not a very strong person. Now, Michelle is another story. I think she is Obama's backbone. Hillary has serious problems too. She is too much of a product. We should be nominating John Edwards. He should be our choice. I am horrified that Democrats are showing so little common sense in this year when we had the best chances ever for a landslide victory.

The day John Edwards suspended his campaign was one of the saddest in American history.

[ProSense]

47. "The day John Edwards suspended his campaign was one of the saddest in American history." BS! n/t

[saracat]

49. He is absolutely right.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

53. No, he's making a fool out of himself.

But then, a lot of people did over Edwards dropping out.

[beachmom]

48. So calling Obama a "Muslim", when he is a Christian, is right? For shame. nt

[FogerRox]

54. And the Brutus comment inferred assasination.

[saracat]

50. Thank you.Amen.

[ProSense]

57. Yeah, isn't smear great! n/t

[jconner27]

58. The cult has a thin skin

[ProSense]

59. Obama is ahead. n/t
