Trayvon Martin‘s death in Florida is a terrible tragedy made even worse by a police department that seemingly bungled the investigation. There are multiple eyewitnesses, some who saw the shooter, George Zimmerman, yelling for help. Others saw Trayvon Martin yelling for help. It shouldn’t be a partisan issue. But MSNBC decided to make it one. According to Karen Finney on MSNBC, the Koch Brothers, NRA, | Read More »
I was at a separate meeting in Florida a few weeks ago where Nikki Haley spoke. She left such a good impression people were still taking about her the next day. It’s not often you hear people putting Thatcher’s name in the same sentence with the Governor of one of the fifty states. She really left a strong, positive impression. Here’s her speech to the | Read More »
Much hay is being made of Rick Santorum saying he’d prefer Obama to Romney. Except that is not what he said or what he meant. Certainly he could have had a clarifying clause in his statement, but given the context, I think he was saying no more and no less than what I have been saying. I’m on record thinking it is over and Romney | Read More »
The Washington Times has the story of Media Matters’ latest effort to drive Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. They’ll use radio ads in eight cities. In one of the anti-Limbaugh ads, listeners are urged to call the local station that carries Limbaugh to say “we don’t talk to women like that” in our city. Ad time was purchased in Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Seattle; Milwaukee; St. | Read More »

Tonight, I’m going to spend a bit of time discussing the Trayvon Martin story. There seems to be a concerted effort by the left to take on this cause and turn it into some sort of partisan issue. But there isn’t a partisan issue. There is, however, a matter of justice. There is also a difference between many of us and what we think is | Read More »
Let me add a bit of extra “get off my lawn” bile to my morning post on young pundits who don’t know their history. There’s another disturbing trend and it has both Matt Lewis and me extremely aggravated. I’m not sure he’s written on it yet so I will. He and I were lamenting this a few weeks ago at dinner. The number of pundits | Read More »
I have a confession to make. I am a thirty-something pundit on television and radio and I am frequently aggravated by many twenty and thirty-something pundits on television and radio. It is even a non-partisan aggravation. We all make mistakes and I am sure someone can be critical of me for the same reason I find so many up and coming political pundits so aggravating, | Read More »

My radio producer, Shane, is a genius. And he put this audio montage together in honor of the 2nd anniversary of Obamacare. What to call it? Marx Madness. What to put as background music? Why the national anthem to the USSR of course. Enjoy. UPDATE: On radio and twitter I’ve been giving Stephen Kruiser credit for coming up with it, but Fingers Malloy tells me | Read More »
Tonight on the Erick Erickson Show we’re going to celebrate Marx Madness. Tune in to the top of the show for a special presentation. You can listen live tonight on the WSB live stream and call in at 1-800-WSB-TALK. Consider this an open thread.
As the nation marks today’s ominous two-year anniversary of Obamacare, we should focus on how we fully repeal it. One place to look closely is the U.S. Senate race in Texas. Ted Cruz, the conservative in the race, has been consistent and tough on the issue from the beginning. He needs our help today. The fight against Obamacare, Cruz says, “presents an historic opportunity to | Read More »
It is a mathematical improbability that Rick Santorum will get to the magic number of 1,144 — the number of delegates needed to be the Republican Presidential nominee. It is a political improbability that Rick Santorum will stop Mitt Romney from getting to 1,144. Last night in Illinois, Mitt Romney won his first victory without caveats. Even in Florida, a big win, there were plenty | Read More »

Over the weekend we saw American songwriter and rapper Cee Lo Green headline a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Atlanta. Never mind the fact that the Left continues to lecture us about civility in the midst of Green singing the unedited version of his song, “Fu*** You,” while flipping off the crowd. The presence of this popular artist headlining an Obama rally shows once again | Read More »

The race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Nebraska is pretty straight-forward. Don Stenberg is a genuine, lifelong conservative with a great record while his opponent, Jon Bruning, has a very questionable habit of supporting liberals and liberal ideas. Last week we learned that Bruning not only supported President Obama’s controversial nomination of Eric Holder to be Attorney General, but he won’t back | Read More »

On Friday, the President of the United States accused his Republican opponents of being members of the Flat Earth Society because of their demands that the nation increase drilling. In no small bit of irony, the President who bitterly lamented the rise of ATM’s and internet travel options accused the GOP of wanting to bitterly cling to the past. But what of Barack Obama’s energy | Read More »
