RIGHT-WING YELLOW JOURNALIST PUSHES NEO-NAZI MANTRA ON TWITTER

Charles C. JohnsonIt is actually not surprising that this gloryhound troll Charles C. Johnson (pictured) is playing this game because he has done it before, but we wonder if people on the right that he has buddied up with in the past are going to start keeping their distance if they haven’t already.

The toxic and reckless right-wing blogger who first made news by filing suit to get Ferguson victim Mike Brown’s nonexistant juvenile record released to the public, declared on his Twitter feed that the Republican Party is fighting against those who hate white people, going so far as to tweet a derivative of a so-called white supremacist “mantra” coined by segregationalist Bob Whittaker.

The right isn’t racist. It’s anti-anti-racist,” Charles C. Johnson of GotNews.com tweeted. “Anti-racist is anti-white so the right is against people who are against white people.”

Anti-Racist

In 2010 Whittaker penned a 221-word “mantra” lamenting a white genocide due to immigration and multiculturalism that was punctuated with the phrase “Anti-Racist is Codeword for Anti-White”. It became something that racist trolls would post on various websites, and in some cases even on billboards in the South. When Johnson made the tweet, @YesYoureRacist, which had made a name for itself exposing and lampooning racist tweets, retweeted him noting the origin to not just him but their followers as well. Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson, who by coeincedence has the same name as Charles C. Johnson, responded in tweet of his own to @YesYoureRacist, saying, “Chuck is well aware of this – he often retweets and links to white supremacists. “

Johnson has made a name for himself as a toxic, reckless indiviual who is becoming known for his stunts than actual reporting. In the past he has suggested President Obama was gay, offered money for photos of Senator Thad Cochran’s wife in her nursing home bed, and went after New Jersey Senator Cory Booker for not living in Newark, NJ while he was mayor when he did. He generated calls to be banned from Twitter when he injected himself into the discredited Rolling Stone story about a rape at the University of Virginia by threatening to expose the rape victim if she didn’t come forward, and ultimately published photos of a woman he could not confirm was actually the victim.

In October, Johnson was indeed suspended from Twitter when he posted the address of a person he said was exposed to an Ebola patient in Dallas, only to shortly have it restored.
