| Guess he will be less visble on CNN! |
Television Network and cable Network 'talking heads' occasionally get themselves in trouble. I recall Roland Martin being suspended for tweeting comments related to the LGBT Community. I recall Mark Halperin being suspended for MSNBC for following Joe Scarborough's silliness via calling President Obama , "..like a dick". Political suspended eventually released Jow Williams for comments the organization felt was a n unnecessarily racially charged comment about Mitt Romney.
Erik Erickson, a frequent GOP pundit, with a particularly dry and snarky demeanor stepped over the line last night after the DNC Convention closed. He apparently felt he would follow his heroes Beck, Limbaugh, and Coulter in the realm of disgust.
After a number of speakers (Michelle Obama,Lilly Ledbetter's and Iraq war hero Tammy Duckworth's) gave powerfully resounding, inspiring and very touching speeches, Erickson could only comment as follows.
Erickson's remarks.....
He tweeted: "First night of the Vagina Monologues in Charlotte going as expected."
What is it about these new communication tools that leads to people (mostly men) reaching into their closet biases and attack vocabulary to entertain people who sign-on as "followers" .
I really have to ask one more time, "Why the Shock and Awe" on women. No, there is no "War on Women" as it takes two to perpetrate war. The GOP is simply reaping authoritarianism on women and for no reason at all.
I never was much of a follower.....
