Edwards is quoted as saying (here)

Quote
"Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that kind of intolerant language will not be permitted from anyone on my campaign, whether it's intended as satire, humor or anything else," Edwards added, saying he believed of Marcotte and McEwan that "it was never their intention to malign anyone's faith."



But he didn't fire the bloggers so, help me out here, isn't he permitting that kind of intolerant language from two people on his campaign?

Oh... he means he'll permit it once but NEXT time...

I hope he keeps them. It just show what the left and J.E. are really like. They have real contempt for the rest of us. It's up to them to tell us what is best.

Marcotte and McEwan are a product of our liberal educational system, and they are not alone, be afraid, be very afraid.

Hey look everyone!! MT found a way to post without rebutting a single part of what he objected to!   Again.


Puts it in perspective doesn't it MT. Perhaps posting something besides bleating about the situation could show an actual debate about it or even disprove it. Otherwise you are just putting up meaningless "text bites" (tm) like Hap has been doing that add nothing to the discussion.

Every cowpie the lefties roll in is a "non-story".

Gotcha.

I wonder what MT's reaction would be if a blogger hired by a Pub uttered a racist remark. Would that be a non-story?

I always thought a reasonable list of rules for debate would be a good sticky. Not that it would be used to pull any post ( that weren't violating forum rules), but just to quickly point out that someone was just making noise and not actually debating a point.

Here's a good starting point

I think MT's post would fall under
http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/personal-attack.html

as most here do.

It did make me wonder if Edwards is a little slow or something though.

so they had a change a mind after they were hired?  They were for it before they were against it?  sounds like a democrat.

Edwards is a non contender in my opinion.  Who cares what he says or does really.

Irony?

I think so.

But lets play for just a minute...

1. Bloggers make sarcastic statements about catholics.
2. Much time passes.
3. Bloggers are hired by democratic candidate.
4. Catholic group digs up old statements and gets offended by them... (I wonder why?)
5. Democratic candidate says yep those things won't happen any more.
6. And they don't.

did I miss something?

Yes, I think the looming question is if it was a racist statement would they still be working for Edwards, and are there two standards- one for racial bigotry and one for religious bigotry? Why two standards?

That wasn't on your list and I think its an interesting question.
