Erick Erickson bans himself from Peach Pundit

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 1:22 PM

Georgia's top conservative political blog gets funnier with each passing day. Perhaps not intentionally.

Peach Pundit chief Erick Erickson revoked contributor Andre Walker's front-page posting privileges Saturday. Erickson says Walker violated one of Peach Pundit's most important rules:

Says Erickson:

[W]e have never tolerated and won’t tolerate the use of expletives like the F word in front page posts. We may say the word, but we try here to keep the posts family friendly. I’d redacted the word from Andre’s post and apologize to those of you who encountered it in your reading.

What did Walker say that so offended Erickson?

Walker wrote a post Saturday quoting Erickson's notorious April 30 outburst - the one where Erickson called retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter "a goat fucking child molester."

In other words, Erick banned himself.

I have zero sympathy for Andre. He should have been banned when one of his many ethical lapses came to light (did he have one or two when on PP). Erick did act like an ass but he usually does that anyway. Maybe now Andre will resurrect GA Politics Unfiltered. Seriously though, has anyone been banned from posting more than Andre? Has anyone had more questionable dealings than Andre? Has anyone burned more bridges than Andre? Why he keeps getting chance after chance after chance is beyond me.

Anyone stupid enough to keep dumpster diving back into the cess pool that is Peach Pundit, let alone give it media attentions, deserves a harsh punishment. I suggest being tied to the same church pew as Erick, forced to watch him Praise Jesus, Inc. for 65 consecutive Sundays. With time off only for the Sundays when Erick is flying back to BF Macon from having spent quality time down the house painter from AL's pants. Come to think about it, that's way too light a sentence, given all the time Erick's been spending in Hannity's pants.

I am no longer amazed by thin-skinned and hypocritical bloggers.

Dear My Broom Encoutered Bad Turbulence Last Night (a.k.a. Grayson Daugters/SpaceyG): Funny you of all people should compare Peach Pundit to a dumpster. When Erick banned you from Peach Pundit last year, you e-cried for days about it.

One Question: Are you a true American, meaning to say, were all your ancestors born here in the USA and they did not immigrate from another country?

To whom is that question addressed, Diana?

And, how could "all" of anyone's "ancestors" have been born in the USA?? My ancestors, and yours, go back many centuries before there was a USA. We all have ancestors from Africa and the Middle East, if you look back far enough.
