Erik Erickson, son of Erik Embarrassedofson, is totally getting last tags on this ‘hating America’ thing because liberals got to hate America during the Bush years so it’s his turn to go "ha ha!" when Americans suffer or die and stuff.
Erik on Saturday:
Mr. Martin is one of the leftists in this country who spent the last several years rooting against our soldiers and sailors in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a strange set of priorities that leads a man to root against the United States on the battlefield and claim the rest of us are defeatists because of the Olympics.
To be clear, I root for America, therefore I root against Barack Obama. Mr. Martin spends his time rooting for Obama and, in the cult of personality that is the left, conflates that with rooting for the country. This will end badly for the left. The cult of personality always ends badly for the left. It’s just a shame so many suffer first.
And so everything was cool, or so we thought, but then Erik heard his name was being bandied about by some Texas dude and he was all "Hey. That’s my name being bandied about. In Texas! Cool!" But it wasn’t cool. No. It was not cool at all.
At the 4:30 mark in this video, you can hear Texas Democrat candidate John Sharp, running for the Senate, attack RedState for cheering Obama’s defeat.
This is the most bogus crap I’ve ever witnessed. Leave it to a sympathetic media to egg it on.
For eight years we have witnessed the left cheer every defeat in war, say “screw them” about America deaths in Iraq, have elected Congressmen declare our soldiers war criminals, have an elected United States Senator compare our soldiers to Nazis, and now have the Chairman of the Democratic Party encouraging Virginia to deny our soldiers the right to vote and the President of the United States begin a systematic effort to undermine our successes in Afghanistan after embarking on a seven month long world tour to apologize for America.
That the left would call conservatives unpatriotic and un-American for cheering Obama’s defeat at the IOC means they have a bastardized idea of what patriotism means and does nothing to wash the blood of our nation’s freedoms and soldiers off their hands.
I love America, therefore I must cheer this Obama defeat — and it was an Obama defeat
So now that Obama has vowed to stay in Afghanistan, Erik Erikson of RedState will be cheering for the Taliban and he will probably help al Qaeda attack America in the very near future because a safe and unattacked America might misinterpreted as a "win" for Obama. And if a winning Obama gets re-elected Erik will never have a shot at becoming the 2nd First Dude despite his obvious charms and his gifts of fine machine washable-crockery. So, like most things, this is really about sex.

It really is astounding that these assholes really seem to believe that liberals celebrate troop deaths and have abortion parties. They’re a stupid and mean bunch. Oh well, maybe Erickson’s swell idea about Going Galt from the police force will work out.
I’m shocked that he added the “ic.”
Great graphic. Love the (flaccid) sword placement.
The tragedy in all this is these macaroons don’t understand how stupid this sounds.
Ooooh yeah. Abso-effin’-lutely charming! If the Internets had a sewer, Twitter would be it.
That’s an impressive amount of lies in one post.
Conservatives really do see the world differently than the rest of us. I suppose it’s because the only windows on the world they have are the little ones in those wells in the basements they live in.
Those and the 17 inch CRTs they’re still using.
Erick was for America before he was against it. Durn’ flipflopper. As a dedicated member of the Red State Strike Force, Dirty Diaper Division, I await instructions on where to send my silly putty.
And Erick ‘Embarassedofson’ is briliant.
A)Make up something about liberals.
B)Get angry at them for it.
Conservatives do it with the same thoughtless abandon that monkeys fling poo. Like monkeys, their means of self-expression are limited by their intellect.
Erick the son of embarrasedofson is flagrantly lying. I am pretty ‘leftist’ as he calls it, and I never once rooted against America. I wanted W. to be right; I just knew that he wasn’t. I wanted him to succeed; I just KNEW he fucking wouldn’t. Being able to see that an action is not the right one (invading Iraq) is not the same as rooting for failure.
On the other hand, rooting for Obama to fail is, well, actually rooting for failure.
I was amused by the droll antics of the right yesterday for whatever reason. Today, I’m back to being weary and disgusted.
FYP.
At this point, I’m convinced that Fox, Limpballs, and the ads on NRO sent out subliminal signals that erased their viewers memories of everything that happened from Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2009 (except 9/11).
There really is no other way to explain why so many of them accuse liberals of doing exactly what they did under 8 years of Dubya, despite the fact there’s no evidence of liberals doing any such thing.
Either, that, or we’re starting to find out just how many mentally handicapped people there are in this country. Which, come to think of it, is probably a bit more likely …
Randy Newman is teh awesome.
Erik bin Erik–who I doubt has ever been north of Chattanooga (”See Rock City”)–is indulging in a threefer: n***er-hating, Yankee-hating and good, old-fashioned jealousy.
Roland Martin managed to keep the Chicago Defender newspaper afloat after its owners ran it into the ground, and is on TV all the time now. Apparently no one’s asked Erik bin Erik to appear on TV as anything other than a potted ficus.
“A)Make up something about liberals.
B)Get angry at them for it.”
C) ??
D) Profit!
And one more thing, I haven’t gotten a Facebook update from Erik’s “Not one penny to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC)” group in months. Erik’s a shitty organizer.
Claiming to be behind the troops is the very last refuge of scoundrels, now that “patriotism” includes having to at least acknowledge Jomo Kenyatta Funkadelic Ninja Brother X as the POTUS. So, while they gloss over the latest casualty reports, ignore the bodies coming back in flag-draped coffins, gloss over the problem that vets have in obtaining benefits and jobs, and ignore the problem with replacing the troops with young people who are not neo-Nazis, they can hide behind the yellow ribbon magnets on their SUVs and pretend that they’re the true patriots.
And thus and so Bible Spice can invoke da troopz while she wonders why her oldest (or is it second oldest? She can’t keep track of everything, ya know) child, Troika, doesn’t write to her from Pluttificationopotamia or wherever the hell he is.
Slightly off topic, but you brought it up:
Yellow Ribbon
(A bit NSFW, but pretty good, anyway)
Our nation’s freedoms has blood? And it is on the hands of “the left”? Ummm… OK?
It must be awfully hard to write this crap with a crayon. I am pretty sure they don’t let him hold any sharper objects where he is.
That is the most fantastic illustration EVER!!!
I hope the artist is available for other gigs.
The people who say ‘liberals this’ and ‘liberals that’ are brats holding out for their “entitlements.”
Don’t worry, Erik will come around and end up defending Obama as soon as:
* Obama ignores intel and we get hiy by a terrorist attack that kills 3000+ citizens.
* Invades a country with no ties to the event, but uses lies to get a green light to invade/occupy, right before mid-terms.
* Proceeds to spend a trillion IOU dollars for a war that doesn’t nothing to enhance our strategic interests and turns our international reputation into the #1 Pariah.
* Erodes civil liberties while expanding the snooping on all Americans.
* Bankrupts the US economy.
If Obama can do these things, I’m sure Erik and the rest of the Beta monkeys will be singing his praises.
Did you guys know that a flawed battle plan will work perfectly with no casualties if you can just get liberals to clap hard enough for it? They can’t just clap hard, though. They have to really, really believe.
Damn liberals! You wouldn’t clap and now you have blood on your hands!
I’m still laughing over Erick’s proposal to dissolve the police dept in Macon where he’s – by some miracle of stupidity – a city councillor.
The man is a certified childish grade school level loon.
I always meant to email you to find out exactly what graphic was used on those mugs that were so successfully smuggled onto the McCain/Palin campaign plane.
I now understand how they were able to enjoy such unprecedented access.
