Yes, that headline is correct. Erick Erickson is encouraging his readers to buy three balls on Amazon and mail them to one of John Boehner’s district offices in Ohio where his staffers will look at them and go, “these people are idiots.”
Also, “Why are they blue?”
This isn’t supposed to indicate that Erick Erickson thinks that John Boehner is sexually frustrated. It is supposed to tell John Boehner to stop playing with Barack Obama’s balls and instead play with his own.
But, again, “Why are they blue?”
I know Erick Erickson is supposed to be some kind of Uber-Christian patriot, but I haven’t detected the influence of The Savior on these actions as of yet. It seems to have something to do with keeping brown people from thinking this country wants them here, but I’ve forgotten what Epistle that was in.
Maybe it was Titus?
Also, “why are there three?”
maybe they get them on special, part of the free market
He’s got a mixed metaphor, and he’s not afraid to use it.
yes, entirely opaque to me
Catachresis fail. First they’re juggling balls, then Boehner is a dog fetching a ball, then suddenly they’re testicles.
And yes, then they’re blue for some reason. Blue = Democrats?
I also liked the picture of Obama fiddling while Washington burns.
Ball 4 and Obama would walk.
Guess some of his readers(anybody notice how few comments on his site) don’t like it either
Here is one
Erick, I agree with the sentiment, but I hate this post. I think it fails Ephesians 4:29 and Colossians 4:6. Many of the front page writers could have written this and I would have said nothing… but you frequently mention your current seminary studies. I think this writing style conforms to the typical media standards more than it reflects a transformation. Just my 2 cents.
Well, the objector’s citations are apt, but both he and Erick are mostly forgetting Hebrews 13:2:
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
WTF is with that fatheaded idiot’s grammar?
It’s not “here’s are three balls” it’s “here are our three balls”.
He’s from
Georgia
Nuff said
Not really from Georgia, you know. He’s from somewhere out west like Oklahoma and came here to Law school and ended up staying, much to my eternal sorrow. He may have acquired some southern sensibilities but he’s not Southern by any Southerner’s definition. Newt Gingrich (family lives in PA) isn’t either but at least he graduated high school (military brat) in the state and has a longer history of living in the state. Truth is they are both very far right conservatives, with Newt being a tad less so. Can’t blame either of them on the South.
Erick Erick Erickson: the brains behind the Red State Trike Force.
Wasn’t he the one with the brilliant idea to send every member of Congress a brick to build a wall on the border of Mexico?
It’s definitely in Titus Andronicus.
“A wilderness of tigers…”
That’s an Amazon referral link. He also makes 4% of every order.
Genius wingnut welfare right there.
More grift for the mill. So to speak.
Not only that it says these are “longer lasting bursting speed”. Alright then.
Maybe he alone has the key to all knowledge from the Lost Gnostic Gospels.
And the key to all knowledge is balls.
Hmmm…a Joni Ernst wanna be…why is it always the balls???
