Edwards and Bloggers

[Toad]

The other fair solution from Lewis Black involves parachuting the monkey out of a plane to pick the Prez.

That would be even better than the Japanese political season idea.

Gordon Peterson: "A word on the pitfalls of the blogosphere, a couple of young women working on the John Edwards campaign have, on their personal blogs, a history of taking shots at conservative Christians and Catholics. One of them said the Catholic Church's ban on artificial birth control, for example, forced women to give birth to more tithing Catholics. Bill Donohue, conservative president of Catholic League, says he's going to take out newspaper ads now attacking Edwards as anti-Catholics. Edwards says the remark offended him. ... As of Friday, he hadn't fired the bloggers. Mark?"

Mark Shields: "He had not fired the bloggers, and I hesitate to come down on the same side as Bill Donohue, who himself has been more than intemperate on more than one occasion, but I think here he's right. I mean, the stuff that they wrote on there was graphic, pornographic. I mean, one of the quotes was, 'What if the Virgin Mary,' a central figure in Christianity, 'had taken Plan B,' morning after pill, 'after the Lord filled her with hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?' Now, if she had written similarly about a Jewish person, an Islamic person, a gay or a lesbian, she would be banished to the outer darkness."

Keeping this type of bigotry on a campaign is just wrong. I believe it will end Edward's campaign. He should've fired them immediately. Far from being a "non-story", I don't think this will ever go away and that other Democrat candidates will use it against him.

Its indefensible. Religious bigotry is no more tolerable than racial bigotry.

Toad you believe that the Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz came from North Korea?

I didn't know that until Mr Black informed me on HBO!
