CNN Political Contributor Erickson Introduces Rick Perry

[Emit]

On Saturday, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) announced his presidential bid at the RedState Gathering in South Carolina. He was introduced by one of the event's lead organizers, Erick Erickson. Since 2010 Erickson has been an employee of CNN, employed there as a "political contributor." At the time CNN described Erickson as a "perfect fit" and an "agenda-setter whose words are closely watched in Washington."

As we have detailed, many of those words are incendiary, sexist and racially charged. Here are just a few of them:

Erickson calls Michelle Obama a "marxist harpy wife." ...

Erickson calls Souter a "goat fucking child molester." ...

~snip~

Erickson on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: "I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota." ...

watch CNN....

2. We don't have cable

so I watch none of the so-called cable Noos programs (other than clips from what I might find online).

Sometimes I wish I had cable to watch Maddow.

When we did have cable, that stuff did nothing but raise my blood pressure and suck up more of my time.

I do listen to Hannity on occasion when I am driving to and from work - only to get my blood up to a slow boil (and to keep track of what the nasty freeps are saying). 10 or 15 minutes is about all I can stand of inSannity, tho'. :)
