What happens when you rescind an invitation to Donald Trump?
Well, my RedState email is suddenly maxed out due to a flood of very angry emails. I’ve been called queer, an n-word lover, Megyn Kelly has been referred to as the c-word.
My office phone line’s voicemail has also gotten maxed out with angry phone calls.
Last night, people were leaving voicemails in my hotel room — having somehow managed to navigate the hotel switch board. At 3 o’clock this morning I had to unplug the phones in my room.
My twitter feed is unusable. It’s just angry people, many of them very recently created accounts of people following few others and with little to no followers. But I can’t interact with much of anyone because of the timeline.
Greta Van Susteren exacerbated it earlier today with her tweet piling on me, which brought in her followers on top of Donald Trump’s. They could not really distinguish that I had apologized for things I had said and Trump just changed his story.
Facebook is much the same way.
RedState suffered a denial of service attack throughout the night and into this morning.

Yesterday, my wife and kids had to pack up and leave the hotel because the few angry people were very loud and vocal as my kids were present. The kids got upset and scared so were unable to see the Gathering or go to last night’s party.I'm sure your wife is proud as she can be. But,you might want to ask the wife and kids first---
Would I do it again? Absolutely. Rescinding my invitation to Donald Trump was the right thing to do.
Rescinding my invitation to Donald Trump was the right thing to do.What else can you say? But in time, we'll see.
I'm guessing Rush cares more about playing Trump courses than having you sub. There are better people lined up around the block aching to sub for him...Good luck though.
Not by any of the C people. Conservative or Colored. Depending which cog of the wheel your mind is
Oh, dear, what that mean Greta Van Susteren did to me!
Is this a parody?
Erick Erickson owes the nation an apology.
Yeah, he said that many of the Facebook and Twitter posts were from new accounts with no profiles or followers. Classic lib troll “False flag” behavior.
Karma’s a beach Erick.
Release the emails, Erick.
He is editor. Sold the brand. HotAir, RedState, TownHall and Human Events are under one umbrella. Part of the Borg.
He had dreams that MEgyn would be his server. Ban Ding!
You knew what you were settin yourself up for!!!
Polyticks ain't bean-bag!!!
Do a video on destroyin you dumb constipated phone like Lindsay Gramnesty just did and study reality for a few more years while away from public life that's just too tough for you, right???
Right!!!
He's assuming that his friends wouldn't do that to him.
Nor would his bosses, Murdoch, Rove and GHWB.
Ronald Reagan said it best-
The solution to free speech that you find offensive and/or or that you do not agree with is MORE free speech.
Yawn. Just too bad.
Yep. You know he was in his glory with all the backslaps from the smart set on Friday night into Saturday morning. Then the crap hit the fan. His little party I’d over and now he has to deal with reality.
He’s basically become a pariah across the board. Conservatives and liberals despise him. And the GOPe, after seeing all his past statements, are running for the hills. They want no part of this guy, going forward.
I would not be surprised if he gets canned from his radio gig by the time Trump is done with the oppo research. Trump wants this guys head on a stick.
Trump’s choice of words were only crude if the listener was a dirty pervert who doesn’t think of women respectfully in the first place. Someone interpreted the comment & ran with it to dirty things up. Erickson just got on the bandwagon. I wonder if it had to do with his employers?
For him to make a bid deal out of it, assume the worst, offend a big portion of conservatives, and go so far as to say he doesn’t want his daughter in the same room as Trump-—is shady as hell.
I agree Trump should have been allowed to speak—and frankly if Erickson wasn’t a puss, he’d have brought Trump to the event and asked him directly about “wherever”.
Is Erickson getting the Dixie Chick heave ho?
Biting the fans that feed him?
This from the people who equated Tea Party with Tea Baggers?
To suddenly play the weaker sex and victimhood at the onset of the debate, immediately after the "support the GOP" ultimatum no-less, sets strong women back 50 years. This could be a watershed event that marks the end of the modern era of feminism with all it's duplicity of wanting to have everything both ways, on demand, and only when it's convenient.
Your action in this debacle was nothing less than a McCainesque "aping of the left" move that has sabotaged the conservative movement so many times in recent history that is bringing the USA culturally and politically to the brink of ruin.
Let Trump compete....and then apologize to Megyn Kelly for your opportunistic gallantry that I sincerely hope that she does not need.
