Many know Erick Erickson as one of the nastier strains of the right wing noise machine. His RedState blog is a go-to site for the paranoid fringe.
I subscribe to his mailings to keep an eye on what he is up to and yesterday, got a Red State e-mail that just totally floored me.....I mean really so far beyond the bounds of decency that I could not believe what I was seeing.
Not long after, Talking Points Memo noted that Erickson had just sounded off on Charleston.
As a nation, when these things happen, we never have the conversation about real evil. We also never have the conversation about mental health.(snip)
A society that looks at a 65 year old male Olympian and, with a straight face, declares him a her and "a new normal" cannot have a conversation about mental health or evil because that society no longer distinguishes normal from crazy and evil from good. Our American society has a mental illness -- overwhelming narcissism and delusion -- and so cannot recognize what crazy or evil looks like.
