A quick dumpster dive in the Files of Steaming Piles turned up a lot of peevish skulldickery, including these historical wonders, recreated verbatim with Nil Stooge’s Tool of Resurrection™. Karma points are estimated.
Blogmocracy Radio 03 October 2012 – The Breitbart Interview

From The Ruse and Fail of LGF – Prologue:
In September 2011, there was some behind the scenes discussion about dumping all the LGF Archives. So much valuable work was about to be given away and thrown into the communal dumpster. I hated the thought, and wondered “Who despises Charles Johnson so much that he might be willing to pay for the Archive?” Twitterwars were in full swing, and the obvious answer was Andrew Breitbart.
So I emailed him. We talked over the phone a bit about the work of The Boiler Room Crew, and just before the conversation ended I asked him if he’d be interested in calling into our podcast, not expecting him to do so. He replied “Sure. When is it?”
What a jaw dropper.
The day of the podcast, 03 October 2011, was nerve-wracking as we couldn’t tell anyone who the mystery guest was (to prevent a troll storm) and we weren’t sure if he would call in at all. We had an hour to go and hadn’t heard anything, so I emailed him to see if he was still interested. His response was two words: “I’m in.”
The audio above is that interview. Rodan & Savage did a great job keeping their composure while speaking to The Happy Warrior.
Five months later he was gone.
R.I.P. Andrew Breitbart (1968-2012)

Charles, you have never been glib.
Inane, hyperbolic, petulant, self-absorbed and flippant? Always.

What utter hypocritical bullshit, Charles.
Charles on Vaccines, Herd Immunity & The Dark Ages

While wading through the LGF Archives for something entirely unrelated, I found this tidbit, and it’s somewhat relevant to current events.
Charles was referring to some people (and Jenny McCarthy in particular) who erroneously believe measles vaccines cause autism in children. Besides having to explain herd immunity to the unwashed lizards, he proves that he doesn’t know diddly about the Dark Ages, and seems to think that vaccines were available in that era.
“Some English historians will say if there is any kind of
‘Dark Ages’ in medieval history, it is during the earliest part of the Middle Ages, right after the fall of Roman power in Britain around the fifth and sixth centuries. Its a period that has few surviving written sources, so we don’t know very much about what happened then.”
That’s the generally accepted definition of “The Dark Ages,” a period in medieval times that have few written records, but you all knew that. I noticed that Charles refers to them often, and usually out of context, so perhaps a visual exhibit might be in order:
Charles, your knowledge of The Dark Ages seems limited to Monty Python movies, so you might want to read up a bit.

Of course, the title assumes that Gus really means what he said here:
So, that assumption made, we of the BRC have decided to shower our readers with a few gifts in eulogy, as this particular lizard was the butt of many, many jokes here at DoD and therefore shall be missed.
First, we might as well direct you toward memory lane, and link Gus’s official tag (every thread we mentioned Gus). There’s some good stuff in there.
As for highlights, who can forget this?
Or when Gus decided to chide DoD for posting a thread on Christmas eve and Christmas day, after posting 31 comments and an LGF Page over the same time span?
Or when he managed to post an amazing 903 comments in a single week (therefore inspiring the twitter doppelganger “Gus_903“)?
We could go on and on, of course.
But perhaps it would be more fun to make this a bit more interactive, and use The World’s Greatest Blog Search Engine™ to preserve Gus’s legacy for all time.

Very coincidental topic given the recent attacks by Hamas.
The first link in the post goes to the Middle East Forum:

It’s true, and here’s a prime example.
