Erick Erickson: Rebel With A Nightlight
Tomorrow is something called Earth Hour Take the official RedState Pledge:
I do solemnly swear that I will honor Earth Hour by turning on every light in my residence at 8:30 p.m. on March 28, 2009, for one hour. God said, “Let there be light.” Who are we to argue?
Yeah, they want you to turn your lights off, but everybody knows darkness leads to crime.
And vampires. And ninjas. And that scary clown who lives under your bed…

What a buncha nitwits. Seriously, who thinks that way? How old are those people? For some reason, that really astounds me…
On President’s day, he is the jerk who goes: Fuck That – I want a Vice President’s day.
When Carlin was a rebel, it was funny. Erick being the rebel is also funny – in its own way.
Republicans stand out in the Boston Phoenix’s 100 unsexiest men of the year.
Jonah “talking head cheese” Goldberg is number 56. Voted less sexy than Cheney, “This half-stepping conservative knee jerk and author of Liberal Fascism has a face for radio — so why the hell do they keep putting him on TV?”
Coming in at 18. Joe PLUNGEBOB DUMBPANTS the Plumber
Rush Limbaugh is numero uno. A face a third world prostitute would run screaming from if she could.
Earth Hour? My, can he turn a phrase.
Someone should tell Erickson the Liberal Establishment doesn’t want him to jump off a bridge.
Perhaps these morons will ignore that short lady and go into the light. And then keep going. One can only hope.
I think we really need to organize a worldwide “Don’t Stab Yourself In The Eye” day. If we could get the UN to back it, every RedState moron (and probably most Limbaugh listeners, too) would wind up dead or in the ER before midnight of the designated date.
What? WHAT?? Yeah, this is really gonna show dem libruls! But to be really effective, they need to run their dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, and put the microwaves on high. And, start all the cars and leave them idling in the garage and driveway.
I’m betting the 5150 calls will be forthcoming in no time….especially if they sit in the garage with the idling cars. We can only hope…
Stabbing themselves in the eye would prove too difficult. (See the Python Upper Class Twit of the Year for a similar example.)
May I suggest one of the following?
“Don’t Play in Traffic Day”
“Don’t Drink Drano Day”
“Don’t Swim Across the Ocean Day”
Don’t be afraid of the dark, Tbogg!
darkness leads to crime? is there a more subtle way for these crackers to say that?
how much evidence does one need to prove these jokes are all about negation, the party of no, etc.?
Erick the Shite-king needs to put up or shut up: either he infects himself with HIV on World AIDS Day, or he’s full of it.
What’s he do on Father’s Day? Kick his dad in the nuts?
Someone should tell him that one CRUCIAL component of Earth Day is that you don’t kill yourself, that all the liberals have void to not commit suicide that day. That, whatever you do, if you truly love the Earth, on Earth day, its your liberal duty to not blow your brains out.
Everyone should really go over and read the comments at redstate. Sad/scary/pathetic. I’m seriously shocked that people could be this small and petty. USA #1!!!!!
It’s about time that we gave Erick some credit for coming up with so many ways of saying “I got nuthin’.”
If only Al Gore could come out against suicide.
Yes,do please run up your electric bills as high as possible boys,please. The power companies will thank you. Wheee!
Also,fill up those SUVs and drive around the neighborhood a few dozen times at high speed. Hell,go for it and do it twice.
The unemployment rate in GA is about to hit 10 percent(that’s the official number,more likely it’s sitting at 12-15 percent if you count underemployed and people who’ve stopped bothering to look for minimum wage jobs where 500 people apply for one job),wonder how many of these toddlers are barely scraping by as it is?
Shouldn’t he have said my “light” on.
Mommy hates the dining room light blazing after they have dined on fetuses.
Where do you find these nuts?
Cap’n, possibly my favorite Python skit of all time. In fact, I believe I may have used this link when the Repubs started their twittering. I see Erick as the Oliver Sinjin Mollusk twit, a superior twit among many average twits. In fact, I can’t decide which excerpt fits him best:
Brave,
OliverErick, he doesn’t know when he’s beaten, this boy. He doesn’t know when he is winning either. He doesn’t have any sort of sensory apparatus known to man!or
And
OliverErick has run himself over with the car! What a great twit!It’s a difficult choice.
Someone should tell Erickson the Liberal Establishment doesn’t want him to jump off a bridge.
A guy like him would probably cut off his own penis if he thought it would offend a liberal. Well I for one would be very offended if he did that, so I guess he better start looking for a clean, sharp blade.
These people are infantile.
I’m all for the Upper Class Twit approach. We can call it Take the Patriot Challenge to lure them in.
Back in the 60s, a college friend said that the emotional maturity of conservatives is stuck at age 15. Not much has changed, except for the worse.
The really sad part is he had 100+ comments for this, when the typical RS front page post generates like, 4-9 comments.
“‘Yeah, they want you to turn your lights off, but everybody knows darkness leads to crime.’
And vampires. And ninjas. And that scary clown who lives under your bed…”
And lots and lots of foolin’ around.
I can hardly wait til next month, when we tell them it’s Don’t Stick A Fork In The Outlet Hour.
I’ve an idea. Let’s all send Erick energy efficient night lights.
Or, he could put his “Redstate Mug” on an electric coffee mug warmer! Radical!!!!!
Sullivan’s got yer scary clowns.
The Party of No strikes again…
Do these people have any idea of reality???

The only difference is that back then it was 15 years, now it’s 15 months.
