CNN’s Erick Erickson Makes a Fool Of Himself Attacking Obama over Augusta



CNN’s Erick Erickson made a fool of himself today on his radio show by attacking the President for weighing in on the female CEO of IBM being denied membership to the Augusta National Golf Club while defending Mitt Romney for saying the exact same thing.

Erick Erickson is super angry that President Obama is “politicizing golf” by suggesting that discrimination against women is not a good thing. But true to his conservative value system, when Mitt Romney expressed the exact same sentiment, Erickson pronounced him smart to avoid the war on women.

<SNIP>

Erick began his logic mangling with, “The President is trying to make everything political. ‘President both ways’…. but he thinks women should be allowed. Why must women be members? Why? Because it’s the last bastion of sexism!”

Yes, that’s right, it’s Obama who is two-faced and “both ways”, not Etch-a-Sketch Romney. Obama has always fought for women’s rights, but still, when he voices this insane notion out loud, he is politicizing everything, since women’s rights are not a political issue(?).
