News Erick Erickson explains the Republican mind
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, May 5, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Why did Republican über blogger Erick Erickson repeatedly call soon-to-retire U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter a "goat fucking child molester"?
In an interview yesterday with Macon Telegraph reporter and Lucid Idiocy blogger Travis Fain, Erickson explained his juvenile, slanderous outbursts thusly:
"I felt good at the time saying it."
Erickson's Twitter-friendly, 34-character sentence might as well be adopted as the official motto of the right-wing punditocracy and the G.O.P.
They're a depressed and damaged lot; emotionally wounded by voters who keep rejecting their awful ideas and their awfuller candidates. And the smart ones, like Erick, know it's probably going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. Palin-Jindal '12, anyone? How about Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney? Exactly.
To cope with the rejection, they're regressing to a child-like state and stroking their ids.
Serious people don't take them seriously anymore, so they might as well forget all their worries by saying and doing all the stupid shit they want. What difference does it make, man? As long as it feels good.
Republicans are the new hippies and hate is the new Haight.
