Edwards chooses bloggers over Christians

The imbroglio began in late January when John Edwards' presidential campaign hired two liberal activists to promote the candidate on the campaign website. Almost immediately, it was discovered that the activists – Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan – had previously, and routinely, made intensely anti-Christian posts on their personal blogs. Marcotte used extremely profane and vulgar prose mocking core Christian theological beliefs, joked about aborting Jesus and suggested Christianity was "misogynist mythology." Meanwhile, McEwan – perhaps channeling Rosie O'Donnell – frequently referred to Christians as "christofascists."

...In the end, Marcotte and McEwan resigned from their posts (with the campaign's "reluctant support"), but they did so only after blasting "the rightwing noise machine," whose blatant "sexism" – not their own bigoted tirades, mind you – was the source of all that had befallen them.

Martotte and McEwan blamed the "rightwing noise machine" the same way the racists, anti-Semites, and Catholic haters at MoveOn.org (Barack Obama's friends) blamed shadowy right wing agents (perhaps Jooooooooooooooz) for posting reams of anti-Semitic, racist, anti-Catholic, and anti-Evangelical hate speech at their now-disgraced Action Forum. http://www.stentorian.com/MoveOn/ for details.

Marcotte's anti-Catholic tirade included very graphic sexual descriptions (which I will not quote here) in reference to the Catholic belief in immaculate conception, and asked what would have happened if Mary had chosen Plan B (presumably contraception or abortion) so that Jesus had never been born. Perhaps Marcotte's Pandagon has the same playbook as MoveOn.org, which published this derogatory picture of Pope Benedict:

Marcotte's Pandagon entry said in part,

"...And, needless to say, the Catholic church is not about to let something like compassion for girls get in the way of using the state as an instrument to force women to bear more tithing Catholics."

The Catholic League adds that Edwards blogger Melissa McEwan smeared not only Catholics but all Christians as follows:

“On November 21, 2006, Melissa McEwan said on AlterNet that ‘some of Christianity’s most prominent leaders—including the Pope—regularly speak out against gay tolerance.’ On November 1, 2006, on her blogspot Shakespeare’s Sister, she referred to President Bush’s ‘wingnut Christofascist base’ when lashing out against religious conservatives."

We can therefore assume that John Edwards does not want the votes of any "Christiofascists." Given Barack Obama's association with George Soros (from whom he got $60K directly or indirectly in 2004 for his Senate campaign) and MoveOn.org, Obama can do without any Jewish, Christian, or African-American votes.

(Please feel free to COPY but not LINK, as it uses the site's bandwidth.) Come to think of it, this poster can be redone with the swastika-bearing arm labeled "John Edwards' bloggers at Pandagon," minus the Jewish scroll noting that Pandagon has yet to spew anti-Semitic commentary the way MoveOn has done.

Edwards is a Christophobe. He simply hates Christians.

"Perhaps most revealing were the reactions of the Christian left. "

Oxymoron.

Re: "Edwards is a Christophobe. He simply hates Christians."

Maybe we can do a cartoon of him as Nero, feeding Christians to lions labeled "Democratic Left." Amanda Marcotte can perhaps be depicted as a hyena (a contemptable scavenger) about to eat a Christian. Although Thomas Nast was himself a vile Catholic-hater, his "Tammany Tiger" cartoon does provide some nice ideas that could be adapted here...

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also." - Jesus Christ - John 15:19

Pretty clear, isn't it?

Edwards Challenges Carter for America’s Leading Anti-Semite Role

Jealous of the attention former President Jimmy Carter has garnered as America’s most famous anti-Semite as a result of authoring the book—Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid—former senator and current presidential candidate, John Edwards put in his bid for a fair share of the attention by asserting that Israel is the major threat to world peace.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas called Edwards’ remarks “encouraging.” But added “Edwards still has a long way to go if he hopes to displace President Carter in our hearts.”

As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

If this is clear, it clearly means that to follow Christ is to renounce the world, including not only riches, but comfort, family, everything. Even your own life.

Note John 15:14, whence "The Society of Friends", aka Quakers.
