Late today, an army major, apparently disturbed by stories of the war abroad, murdered twelve of his comrades at Fort Hood. The man had a Arabic-sounding name, but stated “no religious preference” on his military paperwork. I’m sure you know what’s coming next: As the sun set tonight, tragedy came to Ft. Hood. A muslim [...]

The Daily Beast interviews Erick Erickson : Erickson, however, says the “purge” is largely exaggerated. “I’m fine with Mark Kirk in Illinois, Mike Castle in Delaware, even Olympia Snowe and Sue Collins in Maine,” he said. “There are places where conservatives can’t win. My problem is where the right can win, the GOP should...

From Erick Erickson's November 5 post on RedState.com: Last Thursday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) urged Americans to go to Washington today and protest Obamacare. Well, Mark Levin picked up the charge and others joined her. Today, thousands will pour into Washington to tell Nancy Pelosi and the Congress to send Obama to a death panel (that's section 1233 of the original...

The CW take, courtesy of SNL's Seth Meyers, is that Sarah Palin's brand problems contributed to the defeat of the candidate she backed in the very special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District. But Republican candidates know who butters their bread. There are signs today that, far from taking Hoffman's defeat as evidence that voters are anxious about attempts to run a hard right candidacy,...

... crafty fuckers. It's all very confusing, but fortunately while everyone else is losing their heads Erick Erickson is able to find his ass, or perhaps his elbow, or possibly Shinola : The race has now been called for Democrat Bill Owens. This is a huge win for conservatives. “Whaaaa. . . ?” you say. Heh. I was actually making a fart noise. There are two big victories at work in New...

It's official: the Club for Growth has endorsed conservative upstart Marco Rubio in Florida's Senate race, over moderate Gov. Charlie Crist (R). This should come as a surprise to no one: Rubio has been accumulating national support from conservatives since the beginning of his campaign. In May, conservative bloggers (the most prominent being RedState's Erick Erickson ) began criticizing...

Erick Erickson's alert landed in my email this morning with the news that many already knew. Unemployment has now topped 10%. Ask a truck driver if he's hauling freight. It's not happening and they are the front line of whether an economy is "recovering." This one isn't no matter how the White House tries to spin it. From RedState's Erick Erickson: • Unemployment...

... point used to be, and realize how far short we’ve fallen. And whose fault that really is. Erick Erickson at Redstate also has a useful graph for comparison and writes : Unemployment this morning topped 10.2%, even though the number seeking employment has declined. Many have just given up. Likewise, and more troublesome, the average hours worked in a week is at its lowest in...

On my boy, Erick Erickson's weird reaction to getting his ass kicked . So the point is that the until the national GOP stops supporting moderates who can win in moderate districts by being moderate, Erick Erickson will make these moderates lose by supporting a crazy extremist who's probably going to lose. Erick Erickson is the guy with no hair or eyebrows who...
