With an eye-popping 80% of the vote demonstrating that the time has come for a Change, I have been elected "Best Infidel Blogger" over at the Infidel Blogger Awards. I thank the electorate for the honor it has bestowed upon me, and congratulate the other winners, which include such eminent warriors as Kathy Shaidle, Debbie Schlussel, Ezra Levant, and Mark Steyn.
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."

Congratulations, Robert! It's good to see your your measured voice of reason at the top of the heap.
I cannot help but notice what category Charles Johnson won. Hmmm.....
Cool beans! I can post again!
Robert, I voted for you--fifty times. Do you think that's what shot your name to the top?
Only kidding, folks!
Congrats, Robert!
LOL I love this. Congratulations.
Well done, Robert - a well-deserved honor.
As for CJ over at LGF, I suspect that the timing of his attack on you was the final nail in the coffin which sealed his win in the "Biggest Pro-Censorship Ass-Hat" category.
To paraphrase Senator Lloyd Benston, "I knew Robert Spencer; Robert Spencer was a friend of mine. Charles, you're no Robert Spencer."
LOL!
Well done!
George, yes I remember that quote from the VP debate of 1988 against Dan Quayle. One of the best put downs ever. It's certainly stuck in my memory ever since!
Robert, congratulations on yet another well-deserved honour. Your tireless effort on behalf of freedom of speech and your dogged campaign against jihad in all its forms, is appreciated more than you will ever know. Thank you.
You are justly honoured Robert.
And many thanks.
But hold on Robert !
The "new deal" of FDR and his misguided policies, turned a recession he inherited in '33 into a 'depression' and prolonged the recovery for seven years - as against Ronald Reagan who inherited a 'recession' and through free market policies turned it around and brought prosperity.
No "new deal": rather a "more sensible" deal.
The "new deal" is what we are soon likely to be getting out of the White House - then watch your wallet.

This means you will be the first to be arrested.
Just kidding (I hope), you earned the honor...
Congratulations...
Charles who?
Congratulations Robert and your hosts of workers!
You are doing the work that MSM types will not thread on! Here is to freedoms of the West let us defend this to eternity!
JW/DW is without peer concerning "Infidel" sites. Award so merited.
Unrelated, the nic of the Blogger is very disturbing to me.
Congrats, Mr. Spencer! I voted for you!
Don't worry, Darcy, I get the impression that Blazing Cat Fur is a cat person.
His (?) blog is worth a read.
Now, if only this 80% was reflected in the primaries and presidential elections, and pols were as beholden to being anti-Islamic as they are to Social Security
Once again, congratulations to all the winners.
P.S. For all his efforts, LGF had to share its award with the CHRC. Must really suck for them!
Ok. Enough with the lip flappin', where's my check?lol
Congrats.
Robert,
Congratulations, I guess?
This I did find in the quote an interesting admission:
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." = ISLAMOPHOBIA.
Peace

Congratulations Robert!!!
WE are number 1 , wooo hoooo!!
Mikail,
Surely the man means Islamic supremacism and intimidation of kuffars through terror. BTW, now you have Mikaeel Jackson as brother and namesake--congrats! Kuffardom is enobled by his defection.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Robert!
Yes, well done! Congratulations, Robert!
Related, Alexa reports that JihadWatch now has just about the same amount of traffic as LGF - something that seemed absurdly out of reach a mere 6 months ago.
Thus, a double 'Congratulations' to Robert - who will probably not be distracted by honour for long. Challenges abound...
Mazel Tov!
Bravo Islamophobia - Well-deserved!
Islam sucks.
Hey, what about Dag Walker's win? (At NoDhimmmitude) I'd say a win in that category is quite a distinction.
And he got his start here at JW/DW!
Onya, Robert!
(translation needed? SHortened form of 'Good on you!')
Congrats.
Well deserved.

Mark Steyn, especially, has a site that is both amusing and informative. There is Daniel Pipe's excellent blog. You can find great columnists like Diane West, Caroline Glick, and Michelle Malkin at Jewish World Review, and Capitalism Magazine often has some good stuff. City Journal often has good articles, especially from Christopher Hitchens and the inimitable Theodore Dalrymple. Faith Freedom gives an insider's view, and--despite the recent nasty weirdness--Little Green Footballs is still an important resource.
Still, I always turn to Jihad Watch first for news of the Islamic threat and those who bravely stand against it. Bravo, JW staff!
Robert,
Does this mean we're going to have to join some civilian work force or report at 0-dark-thirty to the cotton fields tomorrow morning? I heard somewhere that's part of the other guy's plan.
Abdullah/Mike,
Ever plan to do anything about that very large chip on your shoulder? Just because Robert is da' man that doesn't diminish your value in any way. Too bad you won't ever understand that as long as your on the poor-me-I'm-a-Muslim bandwagon. And to think, you walked into that cow pasture of your own free will.
Cow patties,
Isabella
Last to the party again.
Congratulations RS.
High-flying rhetoric, but where's the beef?
And where are the policies to implement this CHANGE thing we've been hearing about? How about decreeing exile for Charles Johnson to--to, uh, Djbouti, or to Jakarta (in exchange for Shiva) or to Timbuktu? Just more empty HOPE and hollow promises.
Congratulations Robert and Charles for your respective awards, both well deserved.
Congrats Robert. I only wish you were syndicated to write at least two columns per week with some reputable syndication. You cover material not being covered by any columnist that I know of,and I read at least four newspapers daily.
