The double standard. Believing conservatives are torn to shreds for not saying or doing anything. "macaca" comes to mind.

There really are two Americas. One is decent and the other is Edward's.

"his bloggers spend every night having gay orgies that only stop for the hourly "Burning of the Flag" and "Performing of the Late Term Abortion" rituals."
I see you know them well.

"Did I tune into the wrong thread, or are you lost moonbat?"

Hard core. Look at her postings.

No, some of us think they only WISH they were having gay orgies, and that's what makes them so pissed at everything.

Edwards said he believes in giving everyone a ``fair shake.''<<

Chamberlain believed in giving Hitler a "fair shake" too

Apologize. Snort.

Maybe they snorted (cocaine) first and then apologized?

LOL. Where has she been - haven't seen her on any threads in ages.

The bigots here are Edwards' bloggers ... Mean spirited intolerant liberals always accuse others of the offenses they are champions at.

Hey, Murry Mom...long time no see. Do you have your Hillary kneepads on yet; or are you thinking of doing the job for Edwards in 2008?

They weren't fired for one simple reason. Edwards agrees with what they said.

Edwards should be challenged at every campaign stop to read aloud excerpts from her rancid blog.

UPDATE! There was a small blurb in the paper this morning 2/13 that blogger Marcotte resigned yesterday. I apologize if this has been posted already.

It was posted on the Religion Forum, so it's understandable if it was missed by a lot of people:

One down, one to go: anti-Catholic blogger quits Edwards campaign

Thank you for the information. I would have thought this news would have hit this forum. Edwards is such a doofus. He should have done a little research before they were ever hired.

Logic and reasoning don't really factor in when Republican bigots are on the attack.

So, if President Bush came out and said "I'm going to keep Plan B legal, because if Muhammad's mama had access to Plan B, the Muslim's wouldn't be using him as an excuse for their misogyny and other tyrannical oppressions," you'd be here defending him, and calling those who disliked his comment "bigots." Is that correct?

How about if Marcotte had directed all her anti-Christian comments against the Jewish religion? For example, what if she said that Jews controlled the media and banks. Would you still be on board? Would those who called it anti-Semitism be bigots in your eyes?

How would you feel if Giuliani or Hunter hired a right-wing blogger who had accused Bill Clinton of molesting little girls and snorting blow in the Oval Office? If folks like me said that was outside the bounds of proper discourse, would you call us bigots and defend the guy's "right" to lie about Clinton in a hyper-offensive manner?

Is it OK for a politician to hire someone who spews hateful lies about her ideological opponents? If not, can you show me how any of Marcotte's accusations against Christianity in general or Catholics in particular are true?

Oh, and one last thing: If a person compares the Holy Spirit to a sperm donation and Christians think that's outside the bounds of proper public discourse, how does that make them bigoted? You never did explain that.

See my post 38. Let's see if Murry Mom has the stuff to back up her assertions.

I'm betting NOT!
