“Donohue called for Edwards to fire the bloggers, citing posts that the women made in the past several months in which they criticized the church’s opposition to homosexuality, abortion and contraception…”

Hey, fat ass, if there’s a law against criticizing the church, feel free to point it out! If there’s a law against free speech in this country, just say so. Until then, STFU!

The only way I could have accepted Edwards’ dismissal of these two women would be if the Catholic League, at some past date, had done the same with the likes of Bill Donohue. Damn hypocrite can dish out the hate but can’t take it.

All this hate! What the hell is the church coming to? When people join church, is it so they can be part of a club of hate? I don’t think so. They could have joined the White Aryan Resistance or Ku Klux Klan, and not be bothered with dressing up on Sunday mornings. Then again, the church is the only game in town that promises eternal life. That way, you can have your hate… and spew it too!

Edwards to retain embattled bloggers

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Thursday he was personally offended by the provocative messages two of his campaign bloggers wrote criticizing the Catholic Church, but he’s not going to fire them.

An angry Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, which counts 350,000 members, criticized Edwards for not firing the two bloggers. Donohue also promised a nationwide public relations campaign in newspapers, magazines and Catholic publications to tell voters what the candidate had done.

“When Mel Gibson got drunk and made anti-Semitic remarks, he paid a price for doing so. When Michael Richards got angry and made racist remarks, he paid a price for doing so. … But John Edwards thinks the same rules don’t apply to him, which is why he has chosen to embrace foul-mouthed, anti-Catholic bigots on his payroll,” Donohue said.

Donohue also doesn’t shy from blunt language sometimes in his criticism of gays, Hollywood’s control by “secular Jews who hate Christianity” and even the Edwards bloggers, whom he referred to as “brats” in an interview Wednesday on MSNBC.
