Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes: Mitt Romney has given up on trying to recruit someone for a third party effort against Clinton and Trump. I opposed Romney in 2008 and 2012, but I think the time has come for Mitt Romney. I’d gladly work for a Romney Presidency given the choices between Clinton and Trump. There is more and …

“Republicans owe Bill Clinton an apology for impeaching him over lies and affairs while now embracing a pathological liar and womanizer. That apology will not be forthcoming. In fact, for years Republicans have accused the Democrats of gutter politics and shamelessness. Now the Republicans themselves have lost their sense of shame. “As Marco Rubio withdrew from the Republican primary in …

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson believes that Donald Trump secured the GOP nomination tonight and therefore Hillary Clinton is guaranteed to win in November. Erickson almost single-handedly spawned the #NeverTrump movement when he loudly disinvited Trump from a major conservative convention over the infamous “blood coming out of her whatever” attack on Megyn Kelly. Other social conservatives are also lamenting …

Far-right commentator Erick Erickson writes: “This is brutal. This is exactly what you can expect throughout the country in the general election. This is the ad for the Democratic challenger in Arkansas and provides a helpful roadmap to other Democrats on how they are going to take back the Senate.”

Politico reports: A group of conservative leaders and activists, including RedState.com founder Erick Erickson and former George W. Bush adviser Bill Wichterman, called for the formation of a GOP “unity ticket” on Thursday to stop Donald Trump from becoming the 2016 Republican nominee. Huddled on the second floor of the Army and Navy Club in downtown Washington D.C., the group’s …

Wingnut commentator Erick Erickson is echoing what we’re hearing from a lot of evangelical leaders. He writes: Donald Trump believes the federal government should fund Planned Parenthood. Donald Trump believes there are good things the child killers do. What is most damning is how so many are willing to be compromised by Donald Trump. For eight years the conservative movement …

According to the figures provided by the federal government, there are about 20 million Christian-owned businesses in the United States. And as we know only a literal handful have ever been fined (not shut down) for breaking state public accommodation laws by refusing to serve LGBT customers. Those simple facts notwithstanding, according to the meme that has swept Teabagistan in …

Over the weekend wingnut commentator Erick Erickson was so incensed by a New York Times gun control editorial that he literally shot seven holes in his copy of the paper. Erickson then posted an image of the bullet-riddled paper and asked his followers to do the same. Today a Times reporter trolled Erickson right back.

Yesterday the New York Times published a rare front page editorial in support of gun control. Wingnut commentator Erick Erickson responded in typically rational fashion by literally shooting seven holes in a copy of the paper.  JMG reader Joe directs us to the many amusing reactions on Twitter, one of which is below. Hit the link for many more.

Yesterday Erick Erickson declared that Planned Parenthood should just be thankful that more Christians aren’t murdering them. He may have topped his record of assholery with this tweet. Maybe. After all, it’s a very long record.

“There is one surprising thing about the Colorado Springs shooting at the Planned Parenthood clinic. It is that it is a rare event. According to NARAL, there have been eight people killed and seventeen injured in attacks on American abortion providers in twenty-five years. [snip] It really is surprising more Planned Parenthood facilities and abortionists are not being targeted. It …

Teabagistan’s months-long civil war has smoldered quietly in recent weeks, but today Donald Trump stoked the embers in the series of tweeted attacks on Glenn Beck and Erick Erickson, the latter of whom famously disinvited Trump to a right-wing convention over Trump’s “blood coming out of her whatever” crack about Megyn Kelly. For his part, Erickson says that he hasn’t …

“If Hillary Clinton possesses any unique selling proposition beyond proving even a homely woman can sleep her way into power, it is her tenure as Barack Obama’s secretary of state. That seems to be a slender enough reed when polls show the electorate could give a flying rat’s patootie about experience and favor a change agent above all.” – From …

There’s a longer, more raunchy clip at The Hill.

Trump was to be tonight’s headliner and most of the other GOP candidates will be speaking there this weekend. While we enjoy the escalating teabagger implosion, let’s not forget that Erick Erickson, the person now leading the charge against Donald Trump, regularly calls you a NAMBLA-supporting member of the gaystapo and a hell-bound mentally ill homofascist. Erickson has also called …

“The gaystapo has decreed that Mr. Reisner’s businesses must be boycotted. He dared to associate with a conservative. Consequently, Mr. Reisner, to protect his business interests in New York, has been forced to apologize for having an untouchable in his home. The totalitarianism of the gay rights movement is on display more and more. A pizza restauranteur doesn’t want to …

“I will not belabor the point. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL)  has proven himself incapable of handling his own money, the money of his donors, and taxpayer money. He has lived excessively off the backs of taxpayers who must be reimbursed and off of donors to whom he is now a servant.  His excuses are now met with revised excuses, further …

RedState editor Erick Erickson has previously called gay Americans “terrorists.” Today he flat-out compares us to ISIS in a post about the Washington state florist. In Denmark, France, and elsewhere we have seen Islamic extremists take lives because of the Islamic extremists’ beliefs. They do not want tolerance. They do not want pluralism. They do not want to show respect …

Erickson writes at RedState: Barack Obama is not, in any meaningful way, a Christian and I am not sure he needs to continue the charade. With no more elections for him, he might as well come out as the atheist/agnostic that he is. He took his first step in doing so yesterday in a speech reeking with contempt for faith …
