Newly-minted Fox News contributor Erick Erickson probably did little to help widen the Republican tent this week when he let forth a batch of homophobic tweets on the day the U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. (h/t Media Matters)
Fox News will undoubtedly keep him instead of firing or reprimanding him. He probably won’t even get a slap on the wrist.
The funny thing is that despite all the anti-gay tweets, Erickson also acknowledged, "I've read the briefs. I'm sorry, but I still don't see how DOMA is constitutional."
You're not really loving your neighbor when you're cool with him staying on the road to hell.

I don't believe anyone who supports gay marriage and says polygamy is a bridge too far. It has far greater historic foundations.

So when the left begins advocating polygamy, will they use the infinity sign instead of the equal sign?

Or he didn’t read it.
