“Didn’t you know that Erick Erckson from RedState (who wrote the month old article you’re excerpting from) has publicly thrown in the towel because of these sleazy tactics of the O’Donnell camp?”
Yea. Is that the same Erick Erickson who lied about knowing who Wil Folks worked for, then compared Christine to Folks? The same Erick Erickson who works for CNN now? The same Erick Erickson who has personally made comments far worse than the bloggers who used to work for Christine O’Donnell, as related in the post below:
“The smear campaign appears to be coordinated and timed to coincide with Christine’s surge. Unfortunately, it appears to have enlisted some members of the so-called conservative punditocracy, who seem to be rushing at her as one man. Jim Geraghty at NRO trashed her, although this is not much of a surprise since NRO ceased some time ago being anything more than a pipe organ for the GOP Establishment. Erick Erickson at Redstate was a big surprise, since he had endorsed her earlier. Erickson’s stated reason for abandoning her rings hollow though. He claims that her campaign did not distance itself quickly enough from a website, apparently controlled or frequented by former O’Donnell staffers, who posted a video suggesting Castle was gay. Although O’Donnell condemned the ad and said it had nothing to do with her campaign, Erickson was not appeased. Which I found quite curious in light of Erickson’s own personal peccadillo of just last year in which he himself made the following comment on Twitter about Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s retirement:
“The nation loses the only goat f——— child molester to ever serve on the Supreme Court in David Souter’s retirement.”
If you want to push the vile liberal Castle, I suggest DU. You won’t find a receptive audience over here. And Erickson? Give me a break.
Excellent post!
