No, they judged him by his skin color.
Ah. His come to Jesus moment was when he learned that the kids attended a Catholic school like his own kids do. Ox gore we much!
I used to enjoy when Rush had him as a guest host and then EE decided to crap in his own nest so he’s now reduced to seeking forgiveness from those he rejected. Just another sporkweasel looking for any port in a storm...so thanks for letting me use the word “sporkweasel” today since I was tempted to do so earlier and I decided to exercise restraint on Facebook. No need for restraint here....
Welcome to the party pal, but you’re still a dumbass.
Well, there's a big smelly pile of dog turd ...
We have a president who found a way out of going to Vietnam, and we have reporters who rush into war zones, risking their lives to provide accurate coverage of dangerous events.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think the dude is having a seizure, Jim. Call an ambulance.
ACCURATE coverage???? He’s obviously hit his head or is stoned.
Cheap shot. And no less than I expected from this man.
I was fortunate enough to get a student deferment just before student deferments were ended. So Eric could say the same thing about me, I "found a way" to get out of going to Vietnam.
So let me share this for Eric's benefit, even though he will never read it.
My father was a three War Marine and a truer Patriot you would not find. In 1963 and 64 he was one of the Marine advisors in South Vietnam. He came home in late 64 and said to me and my brother that the politicians were going to turn our involvement in Vietnam into a major war and they were going to also turn it into a quagmire and disaster. He said that the politicians were going to micromanage the military and that was going to be a horrible mess because they had no understanding of the Oriental mind and no clue about fighting guerrilla warfare. He was prescient.
He told us that while the military was an honorable profession he said stay out of the military now if you can, they're going to leave a lot of American blood in Vietnam and accomplish nothing.
Too little. too late. I don’t care.
I beginning to feel the same way about the Republican Party. Where are they? How can they sit by and allow such blatant lawlessness by the Justice Department, the special counsel, and the FBI??
Rush said the other day that we have no team on the field to take on the deep state and he couldn’t be more right.
Does anyone know how old Erick Erickson is?

What an egocentric narcissist. Spoken like a true ostrich with his head in the sand. He doesn't see, nor apparently care about what's happening to other people unless and until it impacts him personally.
If anything, this so-called apology makes me think Erickson is a bigger a$$hole than I already thought he was.
“... who prior declared “it will have NO impact on you.”
“Conservative” Jonah Goldberg was/is one of those morons. I heard him express that exact sentiment on Hugh Hewitt’s show a few years back.
I hope Jonah followed the Colorado baker case closely, since gay marriage was not supposed to have any impact on Jack Phillips or his bakery.
Don’t hold yourself back. The press is clearly the enemy of Americans and specifically democracy within our country. The swamp is involved as well. Feeding stories that may be true-ish to the press. The reality is that Trump got into office against their ability to stop him, or their ability to believe much of America had had enough of them. The forth estate and the swamp who are the new fifth estate, are corrupt. They are acting for themselves not America.
Does anyone remember writing essays in high school and college and our first paragraph had to pretty much contain what we were going to talk about? And so why in the hell did he bring up Trump and his military service? That was such an unnecessary dig and showed his true colors. I really only skimmed the rest of the article after that because it was mainly about him saying the press is not the enemy of the people. Uh, not only is he out of touch, but so is the press. So, I give him an F on his essay for mentioning Trump which he doesn’t even talk about in the rest of his column. I give him a double FF because he irritated me.
We Deplorables have long memories
Just mere days after Donald Trump chose to run you absolutely froze him out of appearing at a political forum and I remember how childish you were.
Maybe you’ve seen the light.....maybe not
Let your conscience be your guide
Jonah will never have to worry about losing everything he owns because he expresses an unpopular opinion. He is a member of that special sacred group called "The press" who have been granted extraordinary protections.
They have "press privilege"
Aaagh, my last sentence looks bad! I’m just a little black dog, so don’t think I meant it any other way :/
meh. Erik the Ted writes another useless self centered ego driven column
I’d also like to share something in regards to Mr. Erickson’s high-minded defense of our so-called journalists. Whom he apparently thinks have only begun to slide in the last few years. He’s completely wrong.
My father retired as a major in the United States Marine Corps in July of 1965. For much of the time he was stationed in the states he was an ISO, Informational Services officer. Military liaison with the civilian press.
He told me a little story that happened I believe in the early 60s. He said he was on a bus with primarily civilian press and they basically forgot he was there or more likely they just ignored him. He said he listened to them collude and plan to destroy a fairly high up defense department official. And then he said he watched it happen in the press. They did exactly what they were planning to do. So I don’t think the ethics of the press in this country have been worth crap for a good long time, probably before Mr. Erickson emerged from the birth canal.
My father was at the Pentagon during the first couple years of John F Kennedy’s tenure. I’m 12 years old and he’s telling me how the Press is covering JFK’s ass because of all the screwing around he was doing. He said they thought it was funny and would not print a word about it.
Recommend you suspend long-held beliefs, Eric, and focus on reality.
The reality is - and your phrase should read, "...the...press is becoming the enemy of America".
That is because "half of the country" or approximately all those that recently voted for Hillary do not realize that just as the MSM played them about Obama, they are being played by the MSM about Trump.
Indeed, that portion of the country regards the press as a beacon of truth and light; notwithstanding that is now obvious both Obama and Hillary are hardly a model of American patriots.
You might consider that you appeared at one time to be an anti-Trump operative of the MSM. In that light, this apology is less encouraging than a politician's, "I regret that happened."
But perhaps it is the first step in the right direction, we will see what follows.
