Petition CNN to fire Erickson!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

On the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, Erickson Tweeted: "First night of the Vagina Monologues and Charlotte going as expected." This sexist comment was disrespectful in light of the many distinguished speakers of the evening, including First Lady Michelle Obama, women's equality leader Lilly Ledbetter, war hero Tammy Duckworth and Leader Nancy Pelosi. If CNN values its brand as a trusted name in news, it should not tolerate its employees making inflammatory remarks such as this one.

7. Eriks nasty history against women....

"Erickson — whose list of inflammatory statements include comparing White House health care communications director Linda Douglass to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, calling Michelle Obama Barack's "Marxist harpy wife," and describing outgoing Supreme Court Justice David Souter as "the only goat f***ing child molester to ever serve on the Supreme Court — said that his past statements were made when he was less of a public figure and that he would not make them today.

Erickson described the Souter comment as "about the dumbest thing I've done," and said, "it was a wake up call to me that I had to grow up in how I write."

So he regretted his Souter comment only. Nice... Dickwad.
