Targeted Blogger Quits Edwards Campaign

RALEIGH NC - - One of the chief campaign bloggers for Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards quit Monday after conservative critics raised questions about her history of provocative online messages. Amanda Marcotte posted on her personal blog, Pandagon, that the criticism "was creating a situation where I felt that every time I coughed, I was risking the Edwards campaign." Marcotte said she resigned from her position Monday, and that her resignation was accepted by the campaign.

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, demanded last week that Edwards fire Marcotte and a second blogger, Melissa McEwan, for remarks he deemed anti-Catholic. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, called the messages personally offensive, but decided to keep Marcotte and McEwan on staff.

"No matter what you think about the campaign, I signed on to be a supporter and a tireless employee for them, and if I can't do the job I was hired to do because Bill Donohue doesn't have anything better to do with his time than harass me, then I won't do it," Marcotte wrote Monday night.

"I'm smart. I'm really intelligent. No seriously, I am. Quit laughing. I'm a serious artist. I'm a strong womyn. STOP LAUGHING! You're upsetting me. I feel victimized. It's my big butt, isn't it? You're laughing because I ate that piece of cake. I'm so upset."

Edwards should have fired the Scum......He's a no good S.O.B.

Had he done his due diligence, he never would have hired her in the first place.

Then again, maybe he did. To me, it shines a light on the type of people that would populate an Edwards administration.

He was for her before he was against her?

This is great. She's gone , the other one keeps the controversy alive, and Edwards shows his amazing lack of judgment by not firing the witches. Stick a fork in him.

O Reilly reporting both bloggers are no longer working for Edwards.

[JRochelle]

I think only one has resigned so far.

[mware]

Bill Oreilly is claiming both of them are gone now. The second one left sometime today.

I am going to see if I can find something on the net.

[JRochelle]

Keep us updated.

BTW, did he take credit for their resignations?

She's a toiletmouth. Do you want to think about where that mouth has been?

[pissant]

LOL. She's worst than a toilet mouth. She's a racist, anti-christian piece of dung.
