“Fox News Channel pundits Greta Van Susteren and Erick Erickson have gone to war over Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) and Erickson’s characterization of Davis as “Abortion Barbie.” According to Talking Points Memo, a blog post by Van Susteren calling Erickson a “jerk” goaded Erickson into publishing a gruesome anti-choice rant that described scenes more suited to an abattoir or an installment of the “Saw” movie franchise than a women’s clinic.

“Wendy Davis has staked her career on the right to chop a child to bits, no matter how viable the child is,” Erickson wrote on Monday night at his blog Red State.

Rather than the bullying “jerk” portrayed by Van Susteren, Erickson perceives himself as a courageous truth-teller, saying, “I have helped define Wendy Davis by a moniker that sticks, describes, and makes her the butt of jokes, while drawing out the shrill hysterics of her supporters.””* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
