Even Eric Erickson Isn't Safe

...from frothing-at-the-mouth attacks from the Legions of Palin. Any political organization that doesn't tolerate honest and constructive internal criticism will not last long, though I think it's telling that even such an impeccably aligned blogger as Erickson gets accused of being a closet leftist when he dares to point out areas for improvement for Queen Sarah. While I'm not holding out for a Charles Johnson-style declaration of independence, I think Erickson has just seen the ugly side of the social right wing that scares so many independent-minded young people away from the modern-day GOP.

By the way, Erickson acquitted himself on Colbert better than anybody gives him credit for.

Is Sarah Palin the woman to navigate our complicated and tense relationship with China?
