When did RedState become a "leading" conservative website?

Erick Erickson is a first-class jerk ... always has been one.

RedState has been supporting Perry. This liberal blogger is right about the bizarre fascination with a reality tv star.

Hussein’s lapdogs are a CULT. Sarah’s fans may be die hards, but they’re not a cult. Sarah’s candidates are WINNING...she is CREATING WINNERS in society. Hussein is creating dependents and leeches.

The cult is definitely in the realm of Hussein, not dear Sarah.

It’s weird because the other night on Judge Napolitano on FOX she said there would be no announcement today.

Maybe Erick’s paymasters don’t fork over enough cash to pay for cable?

Erik Erickson got busted as a BIG TIME Perry supporter. It is all over twitter. Dismiss the a-hole.

Erick jumped the shark a long time ago - he has been attacking every conservative currently running, as well as Palin.

Makes you go, “Hmmm.”

In the mean time the same whiners continue to call for Chris Christie to run. Its not too late for him to run they tell us. His on and off again decision is not a sign of indecisiveness

Erickson’s blog has been a tad annoying lately. It’s as if a combination of Romneybots and one or two Perry supporters (or maybe they are Huntsman people) took over redstate.

I simply don’t understand what got them so worked up. Reading that blog, you’d think there is nothing going on.

Its funny that when Sarah Palin says nothing about running the RINOS and liberals are in an uproar, calling her a tease..but when Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie go back and forth between running and not running, running and not running, no one says a word

What is an Erik Erickson? And which one? Besides a swede? If I had a dime for every Erikson, Ericsson, etc... that I had watched barf outside a bar, I'd be a rich man today.

Working for a Swedish company really inures you to loudmouth drunk zipperheads.

On the upside, I can translate technical swenglish. Mostly.

redstate does not suffer fools gladly, reportedly. Who does?
If they do, for how long? Many have a shorter tolerance for foolishness than others. Confucious.

On the subject of Sarah, it seems leaders lead, rather than procrastinate over phantom musings, hint at doing battle while hiring on in places where it can be avoided. Leaders can actually make up their mind, look at a clock, a calendar, and a map, all this as opposed to chinese tea leaves. The lady has now increasingly become a caricature of herself. In every way but Palin, redstate is a conservative activist site, who is unitimidated and therefore willing to take on someone who, in their opinion, is a distraction from the mission—winning the general election.

Ans she is probably/perhaps/maybe within 15 days of announcing her run for the WH, so they are all going to look pretty foolish.

They are going to look foolish, because it`s not a matter of if she runs but when she runs, certainly within 30 days.

I like the idea of the 7th in front of 15,000 at Liberty U

Fascinating how almost every single response here is an ad hominem attack on Mr. Erickson, with nary a single poster actually engaging with either the article posted, or the substance of Mr. Erickson’s own opinion.

Erickson has sure come across as a silly drama-queen with this. He does indeed “sigh” a lot whenever on CNN. Oh, well. At least he’s not yet gone into the gutter the way Tucker Carlson did, with that stomach-churning Tyson story. Thanks to that, whenever I see Carlson’s face on tv, I now truly feel like puking.

Erick Erickson once showed an awareness of the spiritual realm in his sensibilities.

He has apparently become benumbed by the influence of those he once attempted to persuade...

It’s a danger of perceived power and influence.

I’ve been deceived before-it’s insidious but recognizeable, and treatable.

Erickson has his panties in a bunch because his September 2011 Poll shows:

Palin - 52%

Cain - 21%

Perry - 7%

We leftists should now just shut up about Palin.

Oh yes, please. The sooner the better.

Just saying.

Erick Erickson is not above selling his opinions for influence. We saw that with the “my bosses at Eagle” email, and we’re seeing it again with the way he has gone completely in the tank for Perry after Perry announced at the Redstate convention.

When you look at how many people actually comment on their threads, it’s relatively very few. The posters that are left are “yes-men”. Poster’s who don’t agree with Erick are held to a much higher standard, and usually end up banned.

I don’t know how he managed to get the website viewed as “influential”. It’s not even in the top 20 conservative websites as measured by web traffic.

The stunt today was extremely juvenile. He’s just upset Palin won’t give him the time of day.
