Meet CNN’s New, Radical Extremist “Political Contributor,” Erick Erickson

CNN has taken into its fold Erick Erickson, the editor of Red State.com, who will be a regular “contributor” on “John King, USA,” a new weekday show that debuts on Monday. In an apparent attempt to emulate Fox “News,” CNN has thus legitimized a radical extremist. Some of Erickson’s more memorable quotes are here:
– Erickson defends Beck’s statement that Obama is “racist” and lashes out at “Obama Brownshirts.”
– Erickson calls Michelle Obama a “marxist harpy wife.”
– Erickson calls Souter a “goat fucking child molester.”
– Erickson: Purpose of Bachmann rally is “to tell Nancy Pelosi and the Congress to send Obama to a death panel.”
– Erickson on Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize: “I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota.”
– Erickson: Kennedy wanted to be a “martyr for the cause.”
– “Dorgan and Dodd are healthcare suicide bombers.”
– “It is and has always been the left” that resorts to violence.
This is very bad news for our country. The last thing we need is another hatemonger with a huge national (and international) megaphone.

This is why our little nap-of-the-earth blogs are so important, we may well be the last hope for news reporting. And that’s sad, but looking at the number of right-wing blogs in Colorado and Longmont in particular, it’s becoming more and more relevant.
