Erick Erickson on Hillary Clinton: “I don’t know how far back they can pull her face”

[DonViejo]

The youthful and Adonis-like conservative pundit offers a potential preview of the right's 2016 messaging

ELIAS ISQUITH



While guest hosting Rush Limbaugh’s radio show on Tuesday, conservative pundit and Fox News contributor Erick Erickson offered what may ultimately be a preview of what we can expect to hear from the right if Hillary Clinton decides to run for president in 2016.

“I’m willing to admit I’m in the minority,” Erickson said. “I’m willing to admit I could very well be wrong; all of my Democratic friends are salivating [at the prospect of her running in 2016].”

Yet despite his Democratic friends’ saliva, Erickson said he wasn’t buying the idea that Clinton holds the advantage for 2016.

“She’s going to be old!” Erickson noted. “I don’t know how far back they can pull her face!” he added.

“Can I say that on the air? I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t,” Erickson continued. “You know what I mean, though!” he added.

1. The sexism reeks.

John McCain was older in 2008 than Hillary Clinton will be in 2016, and Erickson said not a word about John McCain's age back then. PROOF of Erickson's sexism.

Not to mention the fact that women outlive men by several years in this nation.

[DonViejo]

7. They've only just begun...

Most folks believe the 'pukes have gone bat shit crazy over Obama; we ain't seen nothing yet.

[MohRokTah]

8. I wonder when the birth certificate desperation will begin. eom

[DonViejo]

11. They've started playing that card with Chelsea's pregnancy announcement...

I think we're gonna be seriously stunned at the low, low level they're gonna sink to. It will be sickening and sad; assuming Hillary goes for it.

[MohRokTah]

12. We've already seen how low (Ayn) Rand Paul (R-Moron) will sink. eom

[DonViejo]

13. This is going to make the Clinton smears of the 90's pale. eom

[MohRokTah]

16. They've already overreached.

Anything worse will only make them look more insane.

[DonViejo]

17. As you wrote...

they are about to look more insane

[CTyankee]

34. well, back then they tried to pin a MURDER on Hillary...remember Vince Foster?

She's ready for just about anything that pudgy faced Erickson can throw at her...plus wait til he sees the backlash from women voters in this country. Gee whiz, he might have to leave and take refuge in a banana republic somewhere...awww......

[DonViejo]

41. Who could forget?...

He was supposed to be her lover, as were Janet Reno and Donna Shalala. Then there were the Whitewater allegations and the "Clinton death list." The stakes will be higher in '16 and the smears even lower, if she runs.

[blogslut]

2. Haha

Coming from a guy who has a face made for radio, such rich humor!

[Bobbie Jo]

22. Beat me to it

Does this guy own a mirror?

[CTyankee]

35. Yes! He's pretty creepy...whatta guy...

[deathrind]

3. Typical of the right.

They cannot argue on issues because they know they are on the wrong side of the majority or they simply do not have a counter point to an issue like ACA (they want repeal it but have no plan in place to replace it with) So they go for the cheap shot, LCD answer.

[Warpy]

4. That pudding face is one to talk!

He's not even a candidate for liposuction, his head would implode. And if I read the Wiki bio correctly, he still hasn't figured out how to breed. Or maybe there aren't any possibilities in his particular closet. He certainly seems to have no use for women, at all.

And it's high time these misogynistic pundits who think a woman's only values lie in her looks and how many kids she has should get the same treatment, themselves. My guess is that if one of his staff reads this to him, he's not going to like the reverse treatment much, at all.

[lumpy]

10. Yes, "pudding face" made me laugh. He definately is a pudding face.

[DonViejo]

14. LOL!! "pudding face."

[Warpy]

27. You can tell I was raised on early Victorian fiction.

[Dawson Leery]

5. The GOP has nothing to run on, so they insult their opponents.

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. Come on, now ...

Erick was auditioning for a spot with a very particular audience.

[msanthrope]

19. Man's gotta make a living....nt

[meanit]

9. Why do Republicans and Conservatives

think that being a complete asshole is some kind of a badge of honor?

Oh, wait....

[steve2470]

15. That was a very shitty misogynistic thing to say

Hope you get your comeuppance when your face is in need of "pulling back" one day.

[herding cats]

18. They just can't help themselves, can they?

Hey GOP, this is the reason you're going to, once again, alienate the majority of the women voters. You have no control over the ignorant sexist mouths in your party. Hell, more often than not they don't even realize they're being sexist. They think they're wise or witty. Did you learn nothing from "binders full of women?!" Fugging fools.

[Frustratedlady]

20. "Youthful and adonis-like?"

The first thing I see are those eerie eyes. I predict he has a nasty history...sicko.

I also predict that this kind of sick talk will backfire on them and the sooner, the better.

[TroglodyteScholar]

38. Yea, that youthful, Adonis-like stuff was fully sarcastic. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

21. The savvy GOP outreach to women voters continues

[blkmusclmachine]

23. Smug and condescending. Typical Republican chauvanism. They call it "swagger."

[CTyankee]

36. they think women "like" men to act this way...I guess...it's too scary for me to even TRY to

understand their thinking...I guess this is why they will never win another national election and they don't seem to comprehend why this happens to them time and time again...

[TroglodyteScholar]

39. The sad thing...

...is that there are a ridiculous number of women who do respond positively to this kind of trite horseshit...my dear mother among them. I'll never understand it.

[CTyankee]

43. let's hope a new day is dawning for such attitudes!

[Egnever]

24. Awesome!

I really hope they keep running with that! I am sure it will work out well.

[IDemo]

25. I'm not a huge Hillary fan

OK, I'm not a fan, period. But does DU really have to entertain shit like this every time a RW talking head finds a camera to disgorge the contents of whatever is occupying his or her brain cavity?

[Control-Z]

29. Yes. Why wouldn't we want to

spread the word about their misogynist behavior? It works to our advantage.

[IDemo]

30. To what end?

DU'ers are well aware of RW misogyny already. It's endemic to the species. There is nothing new to be gained by attempting to outdo Raw Story with each and every belch of Bryan Fischer or the other top 20 idiots who live to whip their base into a frenzy. It only feeds their pathetic egos to know they've succeeded in gaining the attention of the other side as well.

Focusing on these types takes away time and energy better spent on actual issues.

[xfundy]

33. Disagree.

Keep enemies closer; know what they're up to.

[Control-Z]

37. Actual issues?

"Focusing on these types takes away time and energy better spent on actual issues."

Ageism and sexism are actual issues to most women and to every good democrat.

[DonViejo]

42. Focusing on ageism and sexism...

cannot be the exclusive domain of women, but rather, of any person with a conscience.

[Control-Z]

44. That's right.

Most women (including many conservative women) and every good democrat. I have no hope for conservative men.

[Historic NY]

26. Says, Mr. Chin & Hog Jowls.

[spooky3]

28. A two-fer! Ageist AND sexist.

And sure to rally the GOP base (in both senses of the word).

[Skip Intro]

31. Ageist is the term.

Of course, we have Dems attacking old White guys, which makes it a little hard to point fingers.

Hillary will face some real opposition, and it won't be sexist or ageist.

This Erickson guy is an idiot.

[xfundy]

32. Doubt he can pull his face out of his own butt.

Much less his brain, which has atrophied.

[B Calm]

40. Someday soon, Erick will wake up and he'll be 70 + years old.
