Follow-up: Erickson's response to critics...

And yet they're out there saying, "Oh, Erick Erickson. He's encouraging us to kill Census workers. He's so evil and mean. And he works for CNN." You know, I -- long ago I realized -- well, not that long ago, a year or so ago, that people linger on every word I say. Well, linger on these words, please: You people are nuts. Absolute nuts. Where do you get off misconstruing that I'm agitating for killing Census workers when you people are out there advocating for the killing of the unborn on a regular basis. You have no shame.

No shame, indeed.

Just found this gem --

Just found this gem -- Erickson's previous threat to aim his weapon at government bureaucrats. It was in response to Washington state's ban of phosphate-based dish washer detergents:

Washington State has turned its residents into a group of drug runners — crossing state lines to buy dish washer detergent with phosphate. At what point do the people tell the politicians to go to hell? At what point do they get off the couch, march down to their state legislator’s house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp for being an idiot?...Were I in Washington State, I’d be cleaning my gun right about now waiting to protect my property from the coming riots or the government apparatchiks coming to enforce nonsensical legislation.

Forget about Tea Parties. It's time for a Cleaning Product Revolt.

I have it on good authority*

I have it on good authority* that his middle name is Erica. You can imagine why he wouldn't willingly divulge that piece of information, however.

Shooting census workers

Shooting census workers somehow just seems wrong. Even if your constitution guarantees you that right. They should at least get a head start, no?

As Jon Stewart pointed out tonight, CNN really sucks -- even when they just try to be Fox News Lite.
