Conservative commentator Erick Erickson told talk-radio listeners Friday morning that his theory is that all of President Obama’s policy decisions were “designed to humble the arrogant crackers” who run the United States.

“Barack Obama believes the United States of America is a destabilizing, arrogant force in the world. We need our comeuppance and we need to be humbled,” Erickson said while guest-hosting “The Rush Limbaugh Show.”

“And so everything Barack Obama does domestically and in foreign policy is designed to humble the arrogant crackers who have always run the United States,” he said.

“Barack Obama looks at the United States and sees bad and intends to fundamentally transform it into something good, and in so doing take us down a peg,” he added.

  1. Actually, ‘humbling the arrogant crackers’ is more of a bonus

  2. Just one racist trying to appeal to and please a bunch of other racists. Nothing new here.

  3. I agree with Erickson.

    The way these individuals are behaving, there is no way a sitting U.S. President (of any colour) CANNOT humble people so clueless.

  4. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph…can we at least keep that heinous ham face off these TPM pages?

    In fact, that’s it. When you feel the need to include Erickson’s face, please…just substitute an image of a raw canned ham. We’ll know who you mean.

  5. Obviously the arrogant crakers have not been humbled enough yet.
