The supreme irony of this current round of the Little Green Pogrom is that all the people who sat idly by while Charles Johnson slandered some very good people are suddenly finding themselves the target of Johnson’s hate cult. Perhaps unwilling to build the bridges they burned while tacitly supporting Johnson’s outrageous attacks, many of those people are looking for allies in all the wrong places. Case in point, Robert Stacy McCain, a blogger of widespread fame and dubious medical knowledge, linked to a neo-Confederate site called Old Rebel in a post he wrote which was designed to illustrate his willingness to engage with people he disagrees with, which would of course stand in stark contrast to noted smear merchant Charles Johnson. Or as McCain (ironically it turns out) put it:

My willingness to consider the arguments of people with whom I do not always agree is deeply implicated in my imbroglio with the Mad King of LGF, whose totalitarian theory of Charles Johnson supremacism does not permit him to tolerate the presence of anyone he suspects of doubting his theory. His protestations of his own “tolerance” are just so many more self-serving lies that Charles tells himself to justify his sadistic cruelty toward those who dare disagree with him.

A fair point that I would think could be made without linking to a man who thinks Republican support for the 1964 Civil Rights act was wrong (now we darkies are drinking from the Whites Only fountains!) and is calling for secession, but I could be wrong and it really isn’t my business who he links to.

But the real story begins when said Old Rebel drops into the comments on that post recycling a paragraph that he’s used both on his blog on and no doubt all over the web where he yammers on about neo-cons (Jews), lefty atheists, and “War Fetishists” which is a term he uses frequently to describe avant-garde political blogger Great Satan’s Girlfriend. We know this because in his comment and on his blog when he uses the term he links to G.S.G.F’s front page. This too would have been inconsequential except that G.S.G.F was not allowed to respond. I know this because I keep up with the blogger, who I blogrolled when I first came across her because I frankly like to see something different on this big, boring Internet. But even if I didn’t I’d know now because McCain petulantly announced he wasn’t going to let her respond on a separate blog post.

I say petulantly, but I could also call the post childish, heavy-handed, and snobbish. To be sure G.S.G.F. is a wild ride not to everyone’s liking, but hardly worthy of the insults he bandies about:

Which brings me to the subject of CourtneyME109, a/k/a “Great Satan’s Girlfiend.” What’s she all about? Where’s she coming from? Beats me. Without any attempt at complex political analysis, I’d recommend she cut down on her Red Bull intake.

Courtney, I’m at a loss to understand the meaning or purpose of the comments you keep trying to leave at my blog, which is why they are not being approved.
Nothing personal, you understand, but when I see terms like “Totenkopf” and “Confauxderate” in your comments, with wild assertions about connections between unrelated historical events, the choice between “publish” and “reject” isn’t really difficult.

I left a comment on that post that, in a nutshell, says that whether you like her writing or not, a gentleman allows a woman who is being insulted with a sexualized term like “war fetishist” to defend herself. I also pointed out the irony of posting about how tolerant you are while not allowing comments to be published on your site that you don’t like the style of. This did not sit well with McCain’s newest groupie Old Rebel; he decided to take this one outside, so to speak, and fired off this direct to email missive:

I decided to send this to you directly rather than hijack McCain’s site for an off-topic discussion.

BTW, I might object to the tern “neo-Confederate,” seeing as how that’s the term the leftists use to smear Southerners who actually want to defend their heritage, but that’s another issue.

As to “war-fetishist.”  What’s a better name for it?  Anyone who glories in the death of innocent civilians, as she did when 45 Afghan civilians scrounging for fuel were murdered from above this month, has a “thing” about violence.  Toss in all the soft porn that decorates reports of US mayhem, and we have a site that normal people shun.

“Chickenhawk” is over-used, though accurate in its condemnation of armchair-bound patriots cheering on overseas violence, and “ballistophilia” may be more accurate, but neither conveys the depth of depravity we’re discussing.

Make your own suggestions.

And here is my response to Mike and any other McCain groupie/neo-Confederate/cretin who emails me for no reason when it comes to the “depravity” of “chickenhawks” and other asinine faux-rightism:

How about something that doesn’t sexualize a teenage girl due to some disagreement with her, after all I doubt you would have called Reagan, the man who defeated Sovietism by threatening military intervention and supporting many foreign wars, a “fetishist.” The pseudo-pacifistic foreign policy based on a complete misunderstanding of the Imperialist impulse of Islam that you share with both communists and White Nationalists could be best described as a peacenik circle jerk and your definition of soft core porn to include fully clothed women has been described by me in other places when used by other hippies, sorry I mean rebels, as Buchanan-esque Christianized Communism. However, if either of those things were posted about you in my comments section I’d allow you to respond.

And that is the point here. Whether McCain finds her writing pretentious or not, after being called a war fetishist out of the blue in a discussion not concerned with her Courtney deserves the courtesy to a response. McCain just Charles Johnsoned her. That you aren’t concerned with that speaks to your character, or more precisely lack of it.

You come here and call me depraved and a chickenhawk, in private of course like the degenerate coward you are, because I support defending American interests abroad, standing with our allies and at 38, haven’t joined our all volunteer military? I suppose since you won’t join the border patrol but complain about illegal immigration you too are a “chickenhawk” but perhaps also in the original meaning since you display an unseemly interest in some teen girl.

If you object to neo-Confederate being a term applied to you I suggest you stop masturbating to thoughts of secession and pining away for the days when traitors and terrorists (Confederates and Klansmen who were also Confederates) sought to defend the State’s rights … to keep slaves. I’m proud to now call South Carolina my home and have no interest in telling people not to feel a healthy dose of southern pride, but when I saw your blog the top post was about the time for seceding from the Union being nigh, and another post decried the Republican support for the 1964 Civil Rights bill which outlawed racial segregation in public places. The Republican form of government is designed to protect the individual from the tyranny of the majority, you seem to support the tyranny of the majority suppressing the individual.

Which explains why you and Stacy McCain have no problem acting like Charles Johnson and not allowing someone you attack in his comments an opportunity to respond. In those same comments you proudly call yourself a Confederate, then cry like a stunted shut-in when I call you a neo-Confederate. Aside from being a Falangist whose “conservatism” seems to keep him on the side of communists, neo-Nazis and various other scum on most policy issues, you are also a hypocrite. I’m not surprised.

While you call me a “chickenhawk” and depraved, Red Alerts has worked with child advocates to support victims of child molestation and expose pedophiles on the Web. It was Red Alerts, working with Pagans Against Child Abuse, that exposed child exploitation on the Ning networks and due to our work changed the way Pagan sites were run, and P.A.C.A. with which Red Alerts is proudly affiliated, has gotten several child porn trading Ning networks shut down. What have you done while we “chickenhawks” kept children from being sexually exploited? Stalked some teen on the web like the racist pervert you are?

I’ll post this conversation on my site so you can respond there because as the RedAlertstips email account would suggest, this is an account for tips for Red Alerts not an outlet for some misogynist’s latency. Which reminds me, Anton LaVey wrote an excellent essay on misogyny you should read. I believe it is in the otherwise mediocre The Devil’s Notebook. Anyway to sum it up he says that when men attack women in a sexualized or misogynist manner it’s because they are either undeveloped sexually or are suppressing their homosexuality, both of which causes them to lash out angrily at women because they lack the ability to compete for straight men’s attention as well as the awareness of their desire for that attention. Rather un-PC and mostly tosh of course but as a neo-Confederate, oh I’m sorry you prefer the term Pro-freedom (except for Black folk) Confederate sympathizer, it seems right up your alley.

Thanks for reading Red Alerts!

I must admit that though I know of The Other McCain I am not a reader of it. I had thought of blogging about his Charles Johnsoning of G.S.G.F. prior to Old Rebel contacting me in a cursory way but frankly he and all the other big name Conservative blogs on the web now under fire by Johnson after watching him slander Pam Geller, Robert Spencer and dozens of others are reaping their virtual rewards for their perfidy and moral cowardice. But this goes beyond the hypocrisy of McCain and his ineptitude at digging up allies that will help him defend himself against charges of racism.

His tolerance of human garbage like Old Rebel does not make him better than Charles Johnson. In fact, since he and Johnson share similar levels of pettiness (was the post about G.S.G.F. really necessary? Only if you’re a big name blogger looking to humiliate a young girl) his tolerance of Old Rebel is slightly worse. But that’s not what galls me the most.

Red Alerts will never be as big as the some of the more shameless promoters (McCain) and won’t be getting links from Hot Air after my first mention, but I have done some good with it and I’m proud of that. While the Old Rebels of the world go around claiming people like me and G.S.G.F. are “chickenhawks” and “war fetishists” lusting after innocent Muslim blood I’ve helped raise awareness of child sexual exploitation, organized for political causes, and just as importantly, played a small role in getting the word out on some of great sites and writers, G.S.G.F. included.

When McCain plays an admittedly minor role in denigrating those things, by giving an unchallenged platform to a degenerate traitor who wants the United States to break apart, wishes Blacks were never granted the right to enter White-only public spaces, and more importantly, runs an electronic smear campaign on a college co-ed he doesn’t like, he exposes that Charles Johnson’s anti-McCain hatchet job may have accidentally stumbled onto something in pointing out McCain has an affinity for unseemly characters. Maybe this is Johnson’s broken clock moment.

That McCain can produce enough venom to spew at G.S.G.F. over a relatively minor inconvenience (I receive incoherent emails and comments fairly often) which may or may not have happened at all (we are never shown the comment in question, so we don’t know how incoherent it even is), but is warm and congenial with a neo-Confederate he supposedly disagrees with is eyebrow raisingly similar to Charles Johnson’s cozy relationship the violent communist and anarchist groups he uses as sources for his hit pieces, and his unprovoked attacks on even his own readers who deviate from his expectations. Which is amusing since McCain was pointing out that flaw in Johnson’s character when this started.

Of course I’m not saying that McCain has anything to do with Old Rebel and his attacks on G.S.G.F. or me except to point out that he’s McCain’s newest groupie, and he’s no different than Killgore Trout. Maybe McCain should change his blog’s name to The Other LGF.
