And the part where Charlie Hedbo are provocative cartoonists, while the fire chief is a public servant who is supposed to be helping the very people he is criticizing.

Well, the script is getting a bit predictable any more. “The [political enemy in question] is like [name of this month’s media-hyped bugaboo] because [specious reason that no sensible person would accept].” Three months ago he’d have compared them to IS, or Boko Haram, or fire ants or who knows what.

First, they came for the falafels, and I remained silent because I don’t know what a falafel is. Then they took away Erick Erickson, and I said “Whatever. His sophistry is getting old anyhow.” Then the Tea Party was banned… and I woke up.

I know next to nothing about the fire chief dismissal, but I’m certain that comparing it to the massacre in France is reprehensible, and disgusts me.

Yes, but the Atlantic Monthly says he’s polite and well-dressed, so it’s cool.

Rowan Williams tells ‘persecuted’ western Christians to grow up

Former archbishop of Canterbury says UK and US Christians exaggerate ‘mild discomfort’, and gay friends may feel let down

Think I will listen to the Archbish rather than a professional troll.

I don’t know. I think they’re more like Ebola. Or Benghazi. Or the plastic surgery disasters that find their way into TPM ads.

If he’s not selling outrage, he’s got nothing to sell.

This is a person who doesn’t check the facts and go on with his own two cents. Comparing to a situation with so many people died is beyond any normal thinking. I don’t how he was raised by his parents and how he grew up, but still he needs to pause and think. Prejudice hinders good judgement.

I personally have the least-accurate gaydar in the world, and (unlike some) am disinclined to believe that everyone who makes a disparaging remark about homosexuals is in the closet.

However, there simply isn’t a more plausible explanation for Erickson’s obsession with it.
Seriously–cartoonists and satirists are killed in a horrific terrorist attack . . . and his reaction is “Hmmmm, how can I associate this with homosexuals?”

This fella needs to get laid. By another fella. [1]

I was born in and live in the city of Atlanta - the only acts of domestic terrorism in Atlanta and the state of Georgia for more than FORTY YEARS have been committed by white christian men with two primary motivations for their vile acts - CHRISTIAN political ideology and the racist ideology of conservatism.

This state, like all others, is holding dozens of white Christians whom over the past few years planned domestic terror attacks with bio-weapons, bombs and guns and many committed acts of murder and assault in order to further their desires to wage a race war and/or a war on the US government and its people.

The world class POS known as Erik Erikson is lying through his teeth as usual and is trying to foment domestic unrest based upon his lies and that vile unAmerican ideology known as conservatism.

Of course he compared them, because where his head is, he can’t see the difference.
