While the president is trying to do a full-court press to rally support for sensible gun legislation, the right is caught up in internecine warfare. Erick Erickson, writing as a voice of the Tea Party, is blasting back at Karl Rove and American Crossroads, who started the fight by announcing that they would be doing everything they could to crush the Tea Party. Meanwhile, National Review Online is blasting Ron Paul for his insufficiently patriotic tweeting habits, and highlighting John McCain’s egregiously racist tweeting habits. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is justifiably worried about a primary challenge from his right.
They are just one big harmonious family.
