Change.org wants CNN to rescind a job offer to right-wing commentator
Erick Erickson (pictured). CNN hired the inflammatory commentator for
CNN anchor John King's new show, John King USA.
Change.org says Erickson shouldn't be given the job, noting that he has called women's rights activists Nazis, and Kevin Jennings, the Department of Education's safe schools
"czar," "profoundly sick and immoral." He also said that U.S. Supreme Court justice David Souter was a "goat f*cking child molester."
"Erickson, an editor at redstate.com, is meant to talk about political issues from a Republican point of view," wrote Michael Jones at Change.org. "While CNN should certainly be welcoming diverse political voices on their network, Erickson's history of inflammatory comments are dangerous and inappropriate for a news network."
