What Happens When You Rescind an Invitation to Trump? (Erickson Whining)
RedState ^ | 08/09/2015 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 08/09/2015 7:55:24 PM PDT by nhwingut

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.

I think this nitwit thought he was going to be some kind of hero by piling on. He was probably encouraged by the same people that told him to sing Bush's praises.

Spend the extra cash you got for doing the dirty deed wisely Erick. You may not know when the next paycheck will come, now that they're finished with you.

Steyn is the best host but there are others like Walter Williams and one from the northwest who was absolutely great, too great for Rush and was never invited back. Hey, we all have our scruples, but it looks like like Erik has gone beyond political correctness to stupidity. I will not miss the guy, sorry but true. He deserves better than this but he made his bed and that is all....

I agree. I call bullsh*t on that one. Conservatives are not the ones who use the n-word, Libturds are.

I'll go on record as saying those messages are from Libturd trolls.

Why does this bring to mind that woman claiming hate crime for being written all over with an attack marker?

I sincerely doubt Rush will allow him to sub for him again.

That’s just my personal opinion; but I’ll be listening in the morning to see what he has to say.

Apparently calling Kelly the “c” word is worse than calling a supreme court justice a child molesting goat f***er.

Steyn was on Cavuto, not so much endorsing the Donald but definitely thought the questions asked of him were rediculous!!!! Stated GOP-E ganging up on Trump was a huge mistake, the voters SHOULD be allowed to make up their own minds over time, Steyn said voters are furious about the candidate being chosen for them and being BETRAYED and lied to by republicans consistently!!!!!

“They could not really distinguish that I had apologized for things I had said and Trump just changed his story.”

What did he say in his apology and what did Trump change in his story? Anyone?

Lots of people taking shots at Trump and then whining like schoolchildren when they get the blunt edge.

Reminds me of a great movie line...
Why a spoon?
Because it’s hurts more!

By the by, simply apologizing for calling a supreme court justice a “goat f#+$$@g child molester” doesn’t make it go away. Seriously, he sounds like a liberal, or a child. ‘But, but, but - I apolllooggiizzzzed’. That’s the kind of thing you are literally going to have to live with the rest of your life.

Trump bringing it up in order to show the blatant hypocrisy of Mr. Erickson is in context. This guy said worse things than he even inferred that Trump said, much less what Trump actually said. The lesson has been out there for years ... if you are going to come at Trump, be prepared for a fight. The guy doesn’t just want to win the war, he wants to win every skirmish, every fight, every battle.

***
The whole bleeding kerfuffle reminds me of another story...
A business man is telling how his wife is on holiday in Europe, and then proceeds to explain that while she was gone - everyday when he got home a beautiful woman met him at the door with a kiss. As eyebrows raise, he explains with a wry smile - it was my own dear mother, or course.

The point being that anyone who ascribed something untoward in what Trump said is a victim of their own twisted mind. They all got in a dither not based on what he said, but based on how they themselves think. The Washington set is so used to nuances and reading between the lines they have lost the clarity that comes with simply listening to what someone says. If you spend your life looking for reasons to be offered under, surely you will find it, valid or otherwise.
