Erick Erickson's cheap grace on display: Red State endorsed Alaska Democrats in 2008 and then changed the headline saying so


And here's the original url showing that's the case:

It's an old story but just reinforces how Erickson and Red State think that issuing an apology for calling Judge Souter a goat-fucking child molester or changing a headline offensive to pro-lifers is sufficient to show "repentance" or in turn makes one "acceptable" again. More to the point, we could have used the tarnished Stevens' vote against Obamacare in the US Senate in 2010, but Red State would rather punish the country with horrible Democrat legislation than rely on a pro-abortion Republican to stop it. 

Straight out of the cheap grace library of evangelicalism, and the loony bin of fanatical politics.

Maybe Erick Erickson can spend some time studying up on the former now that he's in seminary, but for the latter there is no cure.
