politics without the arguments

brooklynmutt:

With its decision to suspend political contributor Roland Martin today for controversial statements he made on Twitter, CNN seems to have suggested that controversial comments made recently by other contributors — namely Dana Loesch and Erick Erickson — do not warrant the same punishment.

On her radio show, Loesch championed U.S. Marines for urinating on dead Taliban soldiers and said that she would “drop trou” and do it too.

On his radio show, Erickson championed the tasing of an Occupy D.C. protestor and said, “watching a hippie protester get tased just makes my day.”

On Twitter, Martin seemed to champion violence against gay men, writing, ”If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl.”
