If you’ve woken up today, you know that President Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize. I don’t really understand why he was awarded it, but the idea that this is a sure loss for the White House is so stupid I can’t believe our mindless mainstream media would say it.

In fact, it’s a win for the White House, if only because conservatives thoroughly embarrassed themselves today and proved once again that they hate Obama more than they love America (with kudos to Jon Stewart). Today’s wingnut reaction might have been even more off-the-wall than the outcry over Obama’s supporting the bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago - which is still part of America, if not the real America.

Erick Erickson was the moran of the day, essentially writing in separate posts that Obama was given the Nobel Peace because he (a) is black, and affirmative action and dey took er jobs (!!!); and (b) is a terrorist like Yassar Arafat and Jimmy Carter.

But this is the best post from Erickson yet:

F**k you, you racist piece of s**t! Was it because of affirmative action when Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Prize? What about Nelson Mandela? While I don’t necessarily agree with Obama winning the Peace Prize this early in his Presidency either, to invoke affirmative action is just low. I’m telling you this as a white, United States Marine from Texas, so you can’t dismiss me as some left wing idiot. I read what you wrote and got pissed off enough to write you back. So when a white Marine from the south calls you out for being a f**king bigoted a**hole then perhaps you need to reevaluate yourself.

Bigot - noun: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

After posting a letter from the mail bag in which a Marine took the fattest shit on his face, Erickson retorts, “These people crack me up.” Why did he even post this letter? Does Erickson seriously think he won that exchange?

Stepping back for a minute, I’ll remind you all that Erickson is a City Councilman in Macon, GA. I will now put on my outrage face and declare: Erick Erickson must resign!
