Leftwingers want Erickson jailed as Kos founder’s book heads for publication

And that’s just the tip of the political iceberg

Commentary by Kay B. Day

Almost nothing the retrogressives who incorrectly call themselves progressives do surprises me anymore, but the latest takes the political cake. Erick Erickson  at Red State has long been the bane of leftwingers. Now they want to put Erickson in jail. Why? Because he published information about Massachusetts senatorial wannabe Martha Coakley’s union-organized phone banks. He pointed out in his post Coakley published the same information, but she included more details.

You think Kossites want to lock Coakley up too?

That’s just the tip of the political iceberg.

In other news, Galleycat announced Kos founder Markos Moulitsas “just inked a book deal with PoliPoint for a new book with an evocative premise. ‘American Taliban’ will compare the ideologies between the Republican Party and Islamic radicals, ultimately arguing: ‘progressives hate radical Jihadists for the same reason they hate conservatives--intolerance, militarism, disrespect for democracy, and a desire to impose their regressive mores on the rest of society.’”

Get this—the publisher is one Moulitsas once referred to as ‘thieves.’

The Kos-meister has had a vendetta against the right for as long as I can remember. Nothing new here.

But comparing the Republican Party with Islamic radicals? Don’t they make medication to help the sort of mind that would set that as a premise for a book?

Betcha the libraries are already lining up to place their orders—if they’re running 25,000 copies of a book like that as an initial run, they’re counting on a captive purchasing audience somewhere.

When you consider the founder and backers of Kos are influentials in the Democrat Party, well, it’s fairly easy to see why the country has been in a mess since Pelosi and crew took over Congress after the 2006 elections. When the Obama administration took the executive office in 2009, one of the first moves was to declare war on conservatives, because of a report from the leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center classifying combat veterans, Ron Paul supporters and tax protesters as part of the “radical right.” The Center once fulfilled a useful and honorable purpose. It has become a political dinosaur.

And the Democrats promised you they’d unite the country and bring you unprecedented hope. The net result of all that rhetoric—hope dope.

Erickson can pin another star on his cap for exposing the retrogressives who want to return the country to what amounts to a monarchy resting on political cronyism. The days of the late president Franklin Delano Roosevelt come to mind. We’re still paying for his hope dope. We'd suggest the 'progressives' change their name to a more apt approach since our government has grown to a level exceeding every administration in U.S. history. Call yourselves 'retrogressives.' You'd have been right at home with King George III.
