WEBLOG AWARDS: SHWEEET VICTORY BABY ATLAS BEATS CHARLES JOHNSON, LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS

THE WEBLOG AWARDS ARE OVUH!

Ah ...the sweet taste of victory. First, let me say I want to congratulate the first place winner, the Canadian blog that took first place, Small Dead Animals. WOOT! If Atlas didn't have a horse in this race, I would have voted for Kate.  She has a sharp blog (Canadian conservative)  and she beat Ace! Poetic justice! Ace, snarky misogynist (this is the guy, when introduced to me at CPAC 2007, the first thing he ever said to me was 'you got nice jugs ' - true story. Needless to say, it was the last time I ever spoke to him). ACE WAS BEATEN BY A GIRL. I love that.

Sweeter still. Atlas beat LGF. Read that again. No one admired that blog more. I was crushed when he turned and came down against the counter jihad movement and smeared a racist label on a wonderful conference that included Bat Ye’or, author of Eurabia and Islam and Dhimmitude and Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), David Littman, Dr. Arieh Eldad, member of the Israeli Knesset, Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, Director of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity, Sam Solomon, Director of Fellowship of Faith for Muslims and author of the Charter of Muslim Understanding, the great Norwegian essayist Fjordman,  Dr. Marc Cogen, Ghent University, Dr. Andrew Bostom, author of The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, and Laurent Artur du Plessis, author of a forthcoming book on shariah finance, friends of Oriana Fallaci, and other brave leaders in this terrible war.

The meme at LGF is that I embraced fascists because I would not rebuke Filip Dewinter's attendance at the conference. The reality is Dewinter is not a fascist. Dewinter (years ago) said in Ghent, Belgium: "You should know, the real enemies of Israel today are not on the right, but rather on the left: the socialists and the Greens."  The leftist/Islamic death to the Jews marches that we have seen these last 10 days haave certainly validated his point.

When LGF smeared that conference and me in the process, along with so many others, I thought it was the death of  Atlas. He was huge, I was small.

A year later, I am not small. He is.

 from the old days, took awhile to dig it out  :)

UPDATE: How great is this?

UPDATE: Across the frozen tundra, thoughts from Scandanavia! They're loving it!

[KrazyKafir]

Way to go Pam. :-)

[Gorkhali]

Congrats and Best Wishes for more success Pam!

[Crusty]

Congratulations Pam! You work hard on this blog and you deserve it!

I wonder if Charles the Manchild will throw one of his tantrums and block LGF links to weblogawards.org now?

[Mongol]

Pam, you are the best blog!
lgf has their "football" up their tucas.

[Mystical Time Traveler]

Well done! Maybe next year you'll be #1.

[dc]

Great you passed up LGF. In his effort to be mainstream and "anti-conspiracy theory" he made his own conspiracy. EGO blinds him. He presented no case for his accusations and comes across arrogant and close minded, attacking people unreasonably.

Congratulations.

[snaggletoothie]

Of course you beat Johnson: his need to control the flow of information only weakens him and lowers interest in his blog.

[lilredbird]

MAZEL TOV!

Another benefit being discovery of Kate the conservative goddess of Saskatchewan.

Maybe Charles will reconsider the wisdom of turning LGF into an evolution debating club/counter-jihad movement bashing society/techiobsessive forum and get back to the business of fighting this war.

Why am I not surprised about Ace...

[Ramsic]

Congratulations! I just discovered your blog because of the web blog awards. I'll be stopping by here regularly now. And not because you've got a great rack. In fact, I didn't even know you were a she until you shared that bit about your meeting Ace.

You know, you shouldn't be so hard on Ace,,, you really do have nice jugs and he *is* a moron. Guess maybe I am too. You're also quite intelligent and articulate but as a blogger, that wouldn't be a surprise. IYKWIMAITYD

Anyway, congrats on a great success in 2008 and for beating LGF. I hope you are even more successful in 2009!

[darrinh]

Congratulations Pamela! Well done. The lizard will be truly green with envy.

[TwoLabs]

Congrats, Pamela, you deserve it. You care so much about truth and justice. Your passion and, yes, frustration both come through loud and clear. You are a patriot!

[edward cropper]

good job Pam congrats.

[Xoce]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I tried to do my best promoting on forums, etc... hope I helped!! :D

[RISE_UP]

Well done Pamela..we all know who the real deal is...
And Ramsic...yeah you are a moron for cheapening this blog with that lang. Shame on you. Pamela is a lady treat her like one.

[Timur]

Congrats Pamel! מזל טוב Mazel Tov! You're moving on up!
Soon Atlas will be #1! (Already is with me.)

[Ramsic]

Rise_up
Gee, if this site is going to be so up tight and self rightious, then maybe it isn't such a great place.
As I said, I hadn't een noticed that the site was run by a lady. I was entirely focused on the content and impressed by that alone. Then PAM pointed out not just Ace's coarseness, but her own ancillary attributes. Sorry, but as a 100% hetero 'A' type male, I was surrprised not by Aces comment, but by the facts not apparent to me thus far, eg Pam is a knock out. I simply hadn't cared until she brought it to the fore.
Would it make you happier if I acted like a limp necked lefty and pretend truth wasn't truth so everyone feels safe? Isn't the whole idea of the Atlas Shrugged movement to be honest and fair?

[costin]

Pamela, congratulations!!! voting everyday did the trick. :)
don't ever, ever, EVER stop

[bvw]

A high school popularity contest. Still, I voted for dear Pam. I waited until the last moment. I'm happy to see this evolution going on, LGF is too, well "creationist", in its dogmatic approach. Look how they tossed dear Pam out of the cathedral.

IMO, for some time now -- having seen the strident orthodoxy of LGF on evolution -- I've come to think it is only a matter of time before LGF goes anti-Israel.

I hope they do not, but ... Jerusalem comes to be hated by the dogmatic.

[Underzog]

There is a Little Green Footballs II http://tinyurl.com/83spdr

It is composed of people cast down from LGF and who despise the stuck up idiocy of Charles and Kilgore Trout.

[joesamas mama]

Congradulations Pam. You make me very proud. Thanks so much for all you do for Sarah and Amina and being a great woman! You are THE BEST!

[Dagny Taggart]

Mazel Tov from one "Yiddishe Broad" to another! Next year: # 1!

[CharlesMartel]

Never a slave to PC, and as a confirmed chauvinist who LOVES women, particularly intelligent capable women, I, nonetheless, at the risk of attracting opprobrium, have to concur with his comment and point out that he may well have violated certain guidelines which are well covered in the following instructional video: http://www.mojoflix.com/Video/Sexual-Harassment-and-You.html

[Amityschild]

AWESOME! Pamela you rock!

[kaps]

Atlas Shrugs 2000 is the place where you get the real news. This is home to the truth and as far as I am concerned Pamela, you are numero uno!

Take a bow and thank you for all you do!

[geo11]

You earned it Pamella. Tireless blogging and truth telling. I will continue to visit you daily for the unvarnished story. Keep up the good work. Cudo's. All the best.

[Pamela Geller]

I LOVE YOU!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[dented_uk]

Yay! Well done Pamela.
Truly deserved, you are a little gem.

Lgf is dead (boring), clad in his 'pajamas', takes him half a day to wake up by which time news is history! Lgf is fossilising.

Go Atlas Go

[co2hog]

Congratulations - very cool.

[eavesdropper]

You deserved it Atlas because YOU'RE BETTER THAN LGF.

We're all very proud of you and if I hadn't been under the weather, I would have been able to get you a few more votes from my brother and sister patriots.

Now I think everyone should go to your store and buy some "Atlas Shrugs" t-shirts and an Atlas coffee mug. I love mine and always wear my shirts with great pride.

Congrats Pamela!!!!

[IndieJones]

Way to go Pamela!!!! Congrats!
And as for LGF..... It just goes to show that those Liddle Green Foodballs are way past their expiration date!

[Joe Izrael]

ou don't have nice jugs, but you have a nice website. mazel Tov.

(PS
if you can't take a joke, you're welcome not to talk to me anymore... ;-)) )

[Isabellathecrusader]

You go girlfriend!

Love you lots,

Isabella

[JewishOdysseus]

WELL-DONE AND WELL-DESERVED, PAMELA!!

And cd these election results be a premonition that a certain arogant power-mongering bunch in Israel will also go down to a crushing defeat next month? Hmmmmmmm??!!

But Pam, PAM--First the story about Ace's comment, and then a few lines down you're standing there w/the killer tan and the...uhhh... tight t-shirt and the LGF logo...uhhh.. strategically placed...It's enough to get any red-blooded male, American or not to think...uhhh...ummm...

What was I just talking about?

[Patrickrevenge]

Gekkonidae Rex Sucks!

[Deus_Vult!]

Congrats Pam!
I voted, and I am so glad you did so well!
Your blog Rocks da House!

[WRpeach]

SWEEET!! Luvit, luvit, luvit. To many, you are #1.

[Yidwithlid]

I am so Proud of you. I don't know of anyone that puts their heart and soul into their blog the way that you do. You shouldn't be #3 you should be #1.

Too bad I hate you because my MOM likes your blog better than mine. You are the best

[Layer Seven]

Pamela, your blog is an incredible service to the world - the REAL NY Times.

Charles Johnson's blog is a two-bit fraud.

[Jakesgramma]

I gave LGF a bit of my mind and signed off for good. All Charley thinks about now is faux whatever, evolution, computer code and a few nice photos of the Hermosa Beach bikeway or the gears on his bike. PS... I've come to the conclusion that Killgore, Sharmuta and Mandy (who are on every thread) = Charles Johnson. Perhaps, he has a multiple personality complex and lets the kids come out to play on the keyboard.
Pam, you blow him out of the water with your posts. A personal thank you for all your hard work. Kudos.

[Revnant Dream]

Congrats Pamela. You deserve a win through just hard work & passion. Let along your sharp wits with the attendant honesty. All wrapped up in a Pretty Package of determined tenacity for the truth. As the saying goes in an era of lies to speak the truth is a crime.
Keep up the fight, as deception tries to rule the day.

[rickl]

Congratulations, Pamela! (Another ex-LGFer here. I didn't get fired; I quit, over a year and a half ago.)

[Kathy from Kansas]

Pamela, I have been sending recent posts of yours to everyone on my contact list and giving them the link to your blog because it is THE place to go-to with all that is going on in the world right now. I honestly don't know what I'd do without your blog. Yours is the one and only blog that I check EVERY single day; it's indispensable. I thank you and applaud you for your hard work and your passion. The conservative blogosphere is the only place left where true investigative journalism is to be found---and you are cream of the crop. Thank you, congratulations, and keep up the good work/fight!

[Patrickrevenge]

BTW Atlas I think you should know the Lizard army seems depressed tonight. I think this quote from the comment section by the CJ love slave "Killgore Trout" says it all...

"The Lizards just weren't motivated this year we only got 6,000 votes. A few years ago LGF got 18,000."

I wonder where all those votes went KT? I know you are reading this now! There were several more idiotic comments like this one...but it puts you into the mind of the once mighty Lizard Army.

The link is blocked (Because CJ thinks he is enigma), but here it is anyway (remember copy and paste).

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32437_2008_Fiskie_Voting_Now_Open/comments/#ctop

It is funny to read the comments. They are acting like kids who just found out Santa does not exist, and Charles is not really a king. Some of them are now wondering if it was good that they kicked out so many people!

[Pamela Geller]

No, I thank and applaud you. You are sending it out It is up to us to build an alternative means, an alternative delivery system to the jihad loving Obamedia, to get the real news to people. You are a critical component to the puzzle.
Thank you Kathy and to all of you.
Together you and i and all of us are an army.

Believe it.

[jdamn]

You're pretty much it, Pamela. This year you really, really proved yourself, did some incredible investigative journalism, and brought us stories that nobody else did. You're one of the best journalists working today. Blogging is just your medium. You should get a Peabody. I'm so proud of you. Mazel tov, Lady Gellar!

[Wickedpinto]

Last year didn't you have the latex glamour shot?

Ace was likely being a jackass for a common joke, you took it too hard I think.

And congratulations, don't always agree, but you make good arguments and clearly put in a lot of research, and that is definately something lacking elsewhere.

[Rebel Radius]

Congratulations Pamela!!

You earned it.

Kudos to you!

"NO they can't"

[armaros]

You go girl !!!

Congrats you earned it and don't worry about Ace:

"Ace, snarky misogynist (this is the guy, when introduced to me at CPAC 2007, the first thing he ever said to me was 'you got nice jugs ' - true story. "

Not sure if it's misogyny or just too much time on line in pajamas!!

[Shy Guy]

Yahsher Ko'chachech, Pamela. Way to go!

[Un:dhimmi]

Great performance, Pamela - very well done for beating the CJ Agree-O-Thon!!!

[Polymath]

Pam,
Quite awhile ago, I wrote and told youn your blog was surpassing LGF.You, probably don't remember, but that was before the conference and accusations.
(Do I know quality, or what?)
If anyone deserves an award, it is you.No one, but no one works harder, nor knows how to create a rapport with their readers as you have. I believe, it is because your approach is a covenant with your readers premised on a respect for them and presenting the Truth- with passion. Plus, your sense of humor helps when serving up some of the worst news in decades.
I have recommended you so much, people now say, when I am about to tell them where to see information,"Atlas?", or "I know, Atlas,right?" The stories about NY, especially, are important, since I have many, many friends whose children and grandchildren live there.
I recommend, Lion Feuchtwanger's "The Oppermanns", both the book and the film.Also, Serge Klarsfeld's book on The Jewish Children of France in which he has documented with bios and pictures wherever possible every Jewish child in Paris the Nazis rounded up and murdered.They look very much like many of our children, today.You'll get my point.
Congratulations and Much Luck!
As always,
Carolyn

[TINBH]

Congratulations! Very well deserved!

"Atlas Shrugs" is my number one - everyday!

(there is information - daily - not available from almost any other source(s) (especially on the weekends!)

"Atlas Shrugs" is the new media!

[payingattention]

Congratulations Pamela, glad to be here.

[defender]

Congrats Pamela!

Victory is sweet, but even more sweet when it is truth, fair thinking, and the cause of justice that wins!

[Daffersd]

First of all congratulations for beating LGF.

Just a quick thing that you might want to look into, remember this statement:

Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said France has faced a "very clear increase" in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim attacks since Israel started an offensive against the militant group Hamas in Gaza on Dec. 27.

Well last night in TF1 which is the real mouthpiece of the French government they mentioned that 2 Tunisians were beaten up by a group of Jews set up to protect Jews from attack in France, it was added as a brief report in the 20:00 news. Obviously France is being France here, you might want to check that out.

[bluelagoon]

Great going, Pam! I'm so glad you beat LGF. You are my hero.

[rishika]

Congratulations on a job well done!
Yep, sure is sweet to beat the supercilious Charles. Let everyone take note - we are each of us the architects of our own defeat. Pride did it to him. I used to go there for news every day but quit when I read what he was saying about Robert and Pamela, among others. Musta been the hashish that ate his brain.

Pamela, you have so much integrity. I am with you 100%. Some of the smartest, funniest, most beautiful people I know are Jewish. But more than that -
We have American souls this time around. We don't back down.
G-d bless you and your great work.

[James Mulkey]

Congradulations

Ayn Rand would be pleased.

[tazzerman2000]

Congrats Pamela.. You KNOW I've been one of your LONGTIME fans/readers... Wow, it's been YEARS now.. LOL

Regarding Charles and LGF, I AM saddened by his stance towards you and feel that he has in fact crossed the line here. I've told him this via email AND in comments on LGF. Keep in mind, this is coming FROM a long time Lizard.

While I still enjoy tossing the footballs around, I come HERE for the real, straight, in-depth and honest information that I can NOT get anywhere else.

That is what you've ALWAYS been best at and well... keep it up.

Oh, and of course you KNOW ol Tazzerman just loves ya! You ARE my ideal of a TRUE Jewish American Princess :) -tm

[abinitioadinfinitum]

Congratulations!
I could only vote once a day but once a day I did vote.
Your readers know who the real winner is, YOU!

Many thanks for all your constant hard work,

[kobi]

wow pamela, 60 comments!

this is great! i love the photo. the shirt is a hoot.

uh, shucks, no pun definitely not intended, okay?

actually, did you know that that is translated for 'almighty' when referring to H', 'shadai', actually is related to the word for, uh, breasts "shadayim".

why? because the word for 'almighty' actually also means 'all sufficient'.

but i love it that one of the main words for H' is not only feminine, but very feminine.

also is the word "rachmana", used alot back in days of the talmud, meaning 'the compassionate/loving one'. it comes from the root 'rachem' meaning 'womb'. and the related word 'rachamim' compassions/mercies also is translated and understood as love.

and, the word for the divine presence, shechinah, is also feminine. it is related to the word 'shochen' meaning, to dwell. it says that when we keep the mitzvot, we create a place for H' to 'dwell' within, amidst us.

so this is definitely a day of go women power!!!

lastly, there's an article on chabad.org, i think i sent it to you, about miriam. she was really an amazing woman.

you go pam!!!!!!!
yasher koach,

keep bringing light, life, humor and insight to the people!

[BoneShaker]

Terrific!
No one works harder than Pam and no one deserves this recognition more.
Third place this year is a HUGE!
But wait until next year!

[Erik S]

You also have the prettiest hands in th blogoverse, Pam…

From one runner-up to another: Congratulations!

[Amboy]

High five Pam, you deserve it!

[clyde]

I think you should go out and have yourself a HUGE martini. Double olives. Then dance a lot! Congratulations!

[kobi]

dang pam, i looked at sda blog.
in the words of miles davis: so what?!

give me a break. pamela, the only reason you are not #1 is that more people don't know about you.

nothing against sda, but it's a yawn. and a dead animal on the front of it. yechh.

people would rather see that than YOU????!!!

I.....DON'T........THINK SO!~~

plus you got the better information, the humor, the style, the creativity.... alladat!!!

and that's the truth, ruth.

[Buckeye Abroad]

Congrats Pam! From a fan from afar.

PS- Did you ever notice from the old days, most of the first posters to abandon LGF were from Israel? Funny that.

[Bill]

Well Ace was right. ;-)
