Red State editor Erick Erickson on Monday urged Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood despite signs from Republican Congressional leadership that shutting down the government over funding for the women’s health clinics would only hurt the party.
“Children in the United States of America are being cut up and sold for scrap. That Republicans in Washington think they can excuse their way out of a fight says too much damning about them,” Erickson wrote in a Monday morning post.
The conservative author then compared Planned Parenthood to Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who performed medical experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camps.
“This is a fight on principle over whether the Republican Party should stand by and let our tax dollars be used to subsidize the American Mengeles of Planned Parenthood or not,” he wrote. “This is not a fight about politics. This is a fight about life and death.”
Erickson chastised the “Circle of Jerks that make up the Washington Press Corps” who are pinning the potential shutdown on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
“They know he is on a pretty good course toward the nomination. They have to make it about him. This is cynical Washington politics at its best,” he wrote. “In fact, the Washington political elite and the Circle of Jerks cannot contemplate what is happening. They do not relate to people who stand on principle. In Washington, everything and everyone is supposed to have a price. They should be able to buy off pro-life voters as they’ve done with some of the groups.”
He went on to shriek, “Soylent Green is people!”
It’s not a child until it’s born, dickhead.
Erikson went on to say "Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul to waste
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game"
Erickson… this puppet inspired demonstration of ignorance is disgusting… do you have any idea who Mengele was?
you hate women
Oh, holy crap, BattyDude! Where, oh, where is this happening?
Oh, well, yeah, the Nazis. That is a standard go-to when the Republicans know they’ve lost the intelligence portion of the argument.
… And then comes the hyperbole. Next, a hand out for donations?
Oh, a sexual innuendo? Nice, dude. Not getting any, I take it … well, we all go through dry spells.
(Cough!) (Cough!) Who, Ted Cruz??!!?? Oh, dog, man I suggest you get off the vicoden or whatever else Limbaugh has been supplying you with this time.
