Erick Erickson Responds To Greta Van Susteren With Graphic Anti-Abortion Screed

TOM KLUDT – JANUARY 28, 2014, 7:51 AM EST

Erick Erickson is grateful to fellow Fox News colleague Greta Van Susteren. Thanks to Van Susteren, Erickson reasoned in a blog post published Monday on RedState, more people will see Texas gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis as the abortion lover she is.

Van Susteren unloaded on Erickson on Monday for derisively referring to Davis as "Abortion Barbie."

"I don’t care how much you disagree or agree with Texas’ Wendy Davis, you have to agree that this guy, Erick Erickson, is a real jerk and is really lousy at being a spokesperson for his views," Van Susteren, who's accused Erickson of sexism before, wrote on her blog.

But as Erickson sees it, all Van Susteren did is shine a light on the real Wendy Davis:

Fox Host: Erickson A 'Jerk' For Calling Wendy Davis An 'Abortion Barbie'

CAITLIN MACNEAL – JANUARY 27, 2014, 5:00 PM EST

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Monday criticized Red State editor-in-chief Erick Erickson for being "disrespectful to women," particularly Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis (D), who he has called an "abortion barbie."

"I don’t care how much you disagree or agree with Texas’ Wendy Davis, you have to agree that this guy, Erick Erickson, is a real jerk and is really lousy at being a spokesperson for his views," Van Susteren wrote on her blog "GretaWire."

Van Susteren said that Erickson did not smartly argue against Davis' views, and instead acted "boorish."

"Sometimes if you are smart in your debate, you persuade someone who otherwise had disagreed with you. And then there are the creeps who take cheap shots because they are too ignorant and small to engage in an important discussion," she said. "No one should pay any attention to them – they are not persuasive, they are noise, and in some instances boorish and obnoxious."

in the back row, who is constantly disrupting the class with his out-burst ... finally acknowledges that his disruption is really just about getting attention?
