According to Charles Johnson, who has himself been contacted by federal agents, “[t]he Council on American-Islamic Relations has begun filing complaints with the FBI about comments” on LGF and other sites. Which I suppose is their right— though I find the whole thing a bit curious. After all, when is the last time an LGF commenter was arrested for assaulting a Muslim, or, say, hijacking a jet airplane and flying it into a skyscraper?
If the FBI wants to try sniffing out hate speech, perhaps it should check out any number of mosques or Islamic centers funded by the Saudis. Because rumor has it Wahhabism isn’t exactly the most ecumenical platter on the Islam buffet…
First?
First! Hahahahah!
I suspect the FBI files these with the “My cat told me aliens are going to kidnap the ghost of Liberace” reports.
Let’s hope so. The Islamists have been quite effective shutting down freedom of speech in the UK.
Incidentally, that ice cream cone you’re holding is giving me the evil eye…..
Slightly OT- Has anyone heard of the ACLUless efforts to remove from private property the war memorial with the 39’ cross?
“because there’s not enough pedophiles to defend
9th Circuit Court Sides With ACLU: Destroying Mt. Soledad War Memorial
God help us….”
I am sure Ibrahim Hooper will be on TV explaining how the vile comments on a blog have him and his all deeply frightened, yada yada, yada.
Doesn’t that kindof make Ibrahim look like a pansy? Ooh, they said things and I was askaird!
Islam. The religion of the feeble and easily frightened.
I have to admit that the ecomment section at LGF is not for the faint of heart, but dragging the FBI into it seems a bit overzealous.
More “thought crime” crap. If we think it’s bad now, wait until a Democrat is in office.
Personally, I think it matters a great deal more how the FBI is responding to these complaints than it is the fact that CAIR is bringing them. Unless he’s been sworn to secrecy, it would be nice if Charles would explain the nature of his discussions with the FBI agents who contacted him.
So wait, is Charles Johnson on this Townhouse email list or what?
Because that conspiracy will pretty much blow my mind. And I only had fifteen icepicks tonight, so I’m not sure my delicate condition could handle this revelation.
RACIST!!!
Which is to say, well, not all adherents of Islam are of a particular race. In fact, people of many races follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). I mean, there are Muslim communities everywhere from the Middle East to Europe and Asia. Anyway, what was I saying?
Oh, yeah…RACIST!!!
Major John: Check out Sondra K comment section in “Proud”. I wanna see how well your gag reflex is working.

FH, was that taken at a parade or in a cantina in Mos Eisley?
McGehee: Not familiar with Mos or gay pari for that matter. Just lucky I guess.
I found a vid that should be required viewing for the ACLUless freaks at http://www.managedmusic.com/viewopen.htm
I meant CAIRless but both would work.
Oh that Mos Eisley HA!
I have nothing at all to say to any Federal Agent. Advice Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby could have used.
CAIR can say whatever they want. The 9/11 hijackers – it’s a coincidence they were all muslims. Those guys in Florida – they’re not real muslims. It’s just UNFAIR that Americans have a declining opinion of muslims.
Until we start having Anglican assassins and Baptist bombers I’m going to discriminate. After all, it’s not like the Saudis don’t discriminate against christians. For some odd reason, I don’t feel compelled to treat people any better than they treat me.
TW: running. I’m not running for anything, so I don’t need the hypocrite card.
What happens when 6 disenfranchised Haitian-American Catholic kids from Miami do karate and jumping jacks in a rusty warehouse, and toy with the idea of converting to Islam?
Well, they may rapidly find themselves behind bars pending trial for “terrorist activitiesâ€Â: Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez calls them a “dangerous Islamic army rising in our midst†no less!
In this, Gonzalez, the architect of Abu Ghraib, is true to the major tenets of the “Bush doctrineâ€Â: persecute innocent bogeymen while sucking up to the Saudi-Wahhabi paymasters of Islamic terror and their numerous friends for sale inside the GOP and the Pentagon.
In essence, Bush and Gonzalez are re-importing inside the American homeland the practices they’ve experimented in Iraq, a formerly secular Arab country where they made a point of arresting and torturing Westernized Christian and Sunni Baath party bureaucrats while they deliberately brought to power pro-Iranian Islamic terrorists!
Once again I wonder if the Bush administration is doing everything it can to best ensure OBL’s victory…
Vic, I have aAl-Masri for some head-cutting practice? You’re not using yours, and no one would notice anyway….
For some reason, that posted wrong (?!)
If Bush put the terrorists in power, why do they keep blowing shit up?
Moron.
Too bad it wasn’t a movie—they’d have gotten their butts kicked by Chuck Norris before being dragged off to jail.
Vic, you gotta stop mainlining the World
SocialistTotalitarian schtick.And the perfidious “Iraq was nothing but a kite-flying secular oasis” line is historical revisionism of spectacular crapitude.
B Moe
Sure demonstrates the cognitive dissonance when that line is contrasted with the other Leftist cult meme: “The JOOOOOOS are running America”.

I don’t know. You got the ass-kickin’-est summer movie since Pulp Fiction?
Either that or the first punk-rock/hip-hop boy band.
Umm, disenfranchised how? Did they lose a gig at Burger King?
Darleen – Don’t forget the happy little cherub faces, (Daddy’s not dead, he’s just sleeping a lot these days), and as someone else pointed out, the flowing rivers of sweet rich chocolate….
The FBI can’t make anyone do anything but go to jail or get shot, and they didn’t do those things, so his not explaining is [lengthy stream of vulgar invective].
Okay He kind of explains, says there were “explicitly threatening” comments somewhere. The exasperated tone of bleak sarcasm that characterizes the uglier-sounding fringe of LGF comments makes me doubt that’s a reasonable characterization. But whatever.
Charles:
Because I like the guy and think that what he does is important, I’d like to pretend that this means that Charles has realized that the FBI is not his, our, your, or anybody’s but its own (and evidently CAIR’s) friend, but noâ€â€he’s saying he ratted and he always will, so STFU. Nice.
Oh yeah. They’ll totally do that. Call ‘em up. Provide them with all the extensive, publically available evidence they already ignore. They’ll totally check out your tips, maybe even arrest some bad guys. They certainly won’t just put you down on a hate-criminal watch list. I mean, it’s not like they just explicitly obeyed the wishes of a known-terrorist-financed organization and hunted down and threatened into silence its political enemies. That’s not at all what happened.
Stop trusting cops.
I absolutely hate CAIR with a passion of the thousand suns. Arrrrrgh. If I get my wits together I might write why they should be shunned by all right-thinking people (by which I mean people who think, not necessarily right-wingers). They are as bad as the Communist Party of the USA during the KGB’s heydays.
Funny how they demand free speech for themselves but want to stifle free speech for others.
I’ve always found the CAIR org acronym interesting, if not two-faced. First is its obvious play on words in order to play western sensibilities, as in they “care” and that we should, which is so very liberal touchy feely and clever victimhood industry of them.
Second is its more cloaked appeal to Muslim caliphate destiny, as in Cairo (o from org, if you will) which means “the Victorious” in Arabic:
Jauhar (Gohar) el-Kaid, the conqueror of Egypt for the Fatimite caliph El-Moizz, founded a new capital, A.D. 968, which was named El-Kahira, that is, “ the Victorious,” a name corrupted into Cairo.
CAIR – I wonder if they have a secret handshake? Being of the infidel persuasion, I guess I’ll never know.

Doesn’t Howeird Dean have a DR. in front of his name? I wonder what these two have been practising, cause they’re gittin’ reeeel good at it!
Evidently CAIR has been studying the demcratic party. If you have nothing worthwhile to do or say take it to the court system where you’ll find that 50% of the judges are more dense than you are. Time for a full blown investigation of CAIR and all of it’s activities. Cair is simply a terrorist organization in disguise.
Scrapiron: I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, especially about the full blown part.
Dr. Vic,
See how much better it looks in all caps? Just a helpful tip for you, Sir or Ma’am.
tw: music
Dr. Vic’s insanity is music to my ears.
preview tw: only
If only Dr. Vic was advising Howard Dean. Or is he/she?
Or is he/she? klrfz1
That’s so mid 20th century. You mean, he/she, gay he, lesbo she, asexual or bi-sexual he or she, transgendered either, or sexually ambiguous person, in today’s parlance. Smart up and be more sensitive, willya?
Oh, and don’t forget the death shrouded hijabed Muslim black ghost whose gender is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
T/W girls, pretty sexist, huh?
Mark D: “Until we start having Anglican assassins and Baptist bombersâ€Â
and Charismatic chokers, Druid disembowelers, Evangelist executioners, Falun gong finishers, Gnostic garroters, Hindi hitmen, Ibo immolators, Jehovah’s jihadis, Kabbalist killers…
That really deserves some sort of prize.
Lutheran lunatics? Methodist madmen? Neo-ecumenical neocons…?
Yes, that was pretty offensive, wasn’t it. Probably I need to be spanked. Again.
Thanks for the caps. Tip: BOLD CAPS are our friends. You want to be friendly, don’t you?
tw: covered
I have rediscovered offensiveness. In the 21st Century only computers will be able to be offensive.
OK, klrfz, I capped but forgot to bold. Let’s settle on twenty whacks instead of forty for you (or should they go to your computer?) BECAUSE OF THE FRIENDLINESS I’M FEELING, PRAISE BE TO MY WAHHIBI PAYMEISTERS.
(Oh-oh. Upon previewing I see your italics have spilled onto me. That was very cairless and so it’s back to forty for you, big guy. Or girl. Or a permutation thereof.)
Actus, Dr.Vic et al; Go back to the DU and bring back somebody who can think, or at least has some wit. None of you have any by half.You’re boring.
“That really deserves some sort of prize.”
Charlie (CO), I hope you don’t mean a booby one because I already have two, you know…
T/W used, a while back by a voracious suckling girl-child who, were she in town, could tell me how to turn off the italics
This </i>ought to do it…
Or not…
You’re kidding me, right? They were trying to get in touch with al-Qaa’idah.
You guys forgot us Mormons. Mormon…propagandists! We’re good at it too.
Eh, ever been on Belmont Avenue in Chicago? But now that you mention it, that guy would look more natural charging out of a forest in Brittania, sometime around Julius Ceasar’s arrival…
</i>does that help?
Caesar’s people were known as Italics – was it because they weren’t very bold?
Let me try this.
Did that work? Yes, at least in preview.
Sorry. I turned on the italics with square bracket i close square bracket.
Off was square bracket /i close square bracket.
tw: going
I’m not going to use square brackets again.
I’d curse you for the punning, but it was actually rather well done…
I can never get my idalicks to work but maybe I’m not holdin’ my mouth right.
I understand the creators of “Doctor Who” are planning a movie called “I, Dalek”…
I don’t think it’s going to be idyllic…
