An intolerant, homophobic bigot who lives in a glass house, decides to throw stones

born, raised, and educated as a catholic, i spent a fair chunk of my earlier life putting it behind me... there are some good things about catholicism, just as there are good things about many religions, but bill donohue, president of the catholic league, is, to put it mildly, a creep, who, if it wasn't for his catholicism, would be keeping company with james dobson and focus on the family... scratch that... he probably IS keeping company with james dobson and focus on the family...

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, said in a statement on Tuesday, “John Edwards is a decent man who has had his campaign tarnished by two anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigots.”

The two women brought to the Edwards campaign long cyber trails in the incendiary language of the blogosphere. Other campaigns are likely to face similar controversies as they try to court voters using the latest techniques of online communication.

Ms. Marcotte wrote in December that the Roman Catholic Church’s opposition to the use of contraception forced women “to bear more tithing Catholics.” In another posting last year, she used vulgar language to describe the church doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Ms. McEwan referred in her blog to President Bush’s “wingnut Christofascist base” and repeatedly used profanity in demanding that religious conservatives stop meddling with women’s reproductive and sexual rights. Multiple postings use explicit and inflammatory language on a variety of issues.

crawl back under your rock, bill... edwards is fortunate to have those two fine women on his staff... if your virgin ears find them offensive, i suggest industrial strength earplugs...

(thanks to raw story...)
