Edwards’s Bloggers Cross the Line, Critic Says

NY Times ^ | Feb 7, 2007 | John Broder

[Notwithstanding]

Two bloggers hired by John Edwards to reach out to liberals in the online world have landed his presidential campaign in hot water for doing what bloggers do — expressing their opinions in provocative and often crude language.

The Catholic League, a conservative religious group, is demanding that Mr. Edwards dismiss the two, Amanda Marcotte of the Pandagon blog site and Melissa McEwan, who writes on her blog, Shakespeare’s Sister, for expressing anti-Catholic opinions.

Wow - even the NYT smells the stench.

The NYT is in the tank for Senator Mrs. Bill Clinton, this is just some plain political 'Whack-A-Mole' work in her behalf.

[Cincinna]

"In another posting last year, she used vulgar language to describe the church doctrine of the Immaculate Conception."

Leave it to the anti-religious NY Times to mix up the Doctrine of The Immaculate Conception with the Doctrine oif The Incarnation.

Edwards is deep trouble.

Exactly. The Slimes doesn't give a damn about anti-Catholic hate speech. All they care about is getting their girl in the White House.

Gee wiz.

A foul-mouthed, Christian hating Democrat candidate.

Who woulda thunk it?

Seriously, any self-respecting religious people out there who STILL respects the Democrat party ... must simply be closing their eyes to the facts.

And those facts prove over and over how much Democrats despise anyone who tries to follow the precepts of the Bible.

This is an sample from the tolerant liberal hired by Edwards:

Part one is here.

Q: What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?

A: You’d have to justify your misogyny with another ancient mythology.

NYT has picked it up!

Ping.

"Exactly. The Slimes doesn't give a damn about anti-Catholic hate speech. All they care about is getting their girl in the White House."


Exactly right.
The New York Slimes is the more ani-Christ than Bin Laden and Satan combined.
They are just doing what they've always done : Carrying the water for Hitlery, and smearing Hitelry's opponents.
Nothing new there.

Always interesting when the Dems real beliefs accidentally see the light of day.

[KoRn]

This could doom Edwards.

Mr. Edwards’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, said Tuesday night that the campaign was weighing the fate of the two bloggers.

Had these two staffers posted similar "rants" based on race, or expressed such contempt toward Islam, I doubt there would be much "weighing" of their fate.

I read on another blog yesterday that's she's been stealthily deleting the most objectionable old posts, so whatever's still up at the site is likely not the worst of it.

I haven't checked the blog out -- sewers make me nauseous.

"Q: What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?"

I'd say Ms. Marcotte is working on Plan H. A one way ticket to Hell.

There's Jennifer again.

She's a busy girl, isn't she? And she always manages to find herself real close to the action.

I wondered if the Clintons gave her to Edwards.

[Earthdweller]

Exactly. Go over to DU and announce you are a Christian for fun and see what happens....50% of them are militant atheists.

Michelle M outed this woman a couple days ago.

"Two bloggers hired by John Edwards to reach out to liberals in the online world..."

They have to pay somebody to preach to their own choir about their guy? Nice gig...

[Loud Mime]

Edwards has a role of promoting government health care; he's out to expand the team and then be absorbed by the new blob monster - the Hillary campaign.
