RedState.com editor-in-chief Erick Erickson wrote Thursday that gay rights activists are akin to violent Islamic extremists, saying that both groups are committed to “destruction.”
In a post titled “The Line Between Islamic Extremists and Gay Rights Extremists,” Erickson conceded that gay activists “with few exceptions” had not become “physically violent.” But, he said, they are “intent on destroying any who disagree with them.”
“They will take the homes, businesses, and life savings of any who defy them, Erickson continued. “They will use the tools of the state and mob action through boycotts, fear, and intimidation to make it happen.”
“The divide between Islamic extremists and gay rights extremists is at death,” Erickson added. “They meet on the line at destruction.”
Erickson was incensed by the case of a Washington florist who was recently found to have violated the law by refusing to sell flowers for a gay wedding. He described Barronelle Stutzman, the florist, as “another life targeted for destruction by the gay rights community.”
In January, Erickson compared gay-rights activists in a different case to “terrorists.”

Everything is like everything else in one way or another. Yawn…
Never forget that the porcine Erick Erickson called retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “goat-fucking child molester.”
If Erickson had been blogging during the civil rights era he would have said the same about forcing restaurants to seat african americans.
“The divide between goat-fucking child molesters and Souter extremists is at goats and molesting children,” Erickson added. “They meet on the line at fucking.”
Man, this formula of his is really useful at bringing clarity to a confusing situation.
The conservatives have turned their shtick up to 11.
