Erick Erickson bans himself from Peach Pundit

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Georgia’s top conservative political blog gets funnier with each passing day. Perhaps not intentionally.

Peach Pundit chief Erick Erickson revoked contributor Andre Walker’s front-page posting privileges Saturday. Erickson says Walker violated one of Peach Pundit’s most important rules:

Says Erickson:

[W]e have never tolerated and won’t tolerate the use of expletives like the F word in front page posts. We may say the word, but we try here to keep the posts family friendly. I’d redacted the word from Andre’s post and apologize to those of you who encountered it in your reading.

What did Walker say that so offended Erickson?

Walker wrote a post Saturday quoting Erickson’s notorious April 30 outburst – the one where Erickson called retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter “a goat fucking child molester.”

In other words, Erick banned himself.

When is right-wing violent extremism actually left-wing violent extremism?

When defensive, embarrassed right-wingers pretend it is!

From Peach Pundit/Red State blogger Erick Erickson:

Clearly the Erick Ericksons and Michelle Malkins of the world would like you to forget the countless mainstream conservatives who systematically and serially mocked a prescient recent government warning about violent right-wing extremists like Von Brunn and the man accused of gunning down Kansas abortion Dr. George Tiller.

No amount of spin and finger-pointing changes this essential fact. We were warned and they laughed. Don’t forget that.
