I was shocked at first to hear CNN's Erick Erickson say on the air "Watching a hippie protester get tased just makes my day." He was speaking of a member of Occupy DC who was tased recently by Park police. After I recalled exactly who Erickson is, and how he referred to former Supreme Court Justice David Souter as a "goat f-cking child molester," not so shocked anymore.

Eternally disappointed in CNN, yes, but not shocked.

These are the videos that show the Occupy DC protester, Lash, being tased by the Park police. The video on the bottom of the post is the one that shows Lash suffering what appears to be a seizure as he lays face down on the pavement.

I don't think I care to know anything else about Erickson, ever.

Can you help us out?
