It pays to be an idiot

Erick Erickson, a man who’s penchant for creative thought was imprinted upon him the day he was named, recently decided to reply to #OccupyWallStreet by creating a counter-group “We are the 53%”. All based upon the kind of solid economic analysis you’d expect from a right-wing blowhard. Which makes this poll finding, all the more ironic and humorous.
?
Fifty-three percent of self-identified Republicans back an increase in taxes on households making more than $250,000
But Erickson can always whine about how much he is paid to spout such nonsense, thereby demonstrating his worth, rather than having reality do so.
And why not when brutish stupidity is the coin of the conservative’s realm? For the top of the right-wing ziggurat, Limbaugh, has proclaimed #OccupyWallStreet as an antisemitic plot. Which must come as a quite an allegation to well everyone, but especially Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (of Ben & Jerry’s fame) who just publicly backed the protest.
Just another serving of self-loathing for Limbaugh to swallow as he downs another pint of Wavy Gravy or Cherry Garcia at night.
