So you want to be the next President of the best and most powerful country in the world. You feel you have the wisdom, intelligence and common sense required to make decisions that will affect the lives of 300 million Americans as well the trillions of other people that inhabit the earth. Yet, despite all that alleged wisdom you hire two of the most hate filled foul mouthed religious bashing degenerates available to run your blogging campaign. In a rush of political pandering you telegraph firing the women before deciding to keep them on in an appeasement campaign that glosses over the new staffers hate speech with the kind of moral relativism that only the hard core left can buy into.

Finally, after all of the huffing rhetoric and heartfelt soul searching the queen bee of left wing hate blogging decides to resign on her own. You, the Presidential candidate are left holding the remnants of one of the worst handled campaign strategies to hit the internet.

These are the facts that John Edwards will have to face as he tries to explain to the American people why a person with such an overwhelming lack of common sense and shoulder shrugging disdain for those of faith should be considered as the country’s next President.

True to form, the hate filled religious bashing feminist blames who else but the President of the Catholic league as reported by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post.

Days after Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards decided against firing two liberal bloggers with a history of inflammatory writing, one resigned last night with a blast at “right wing shills” for driving her out of the campaign.

Amanda Marcotte, whose writings were assailed as anti-Catholic, wrote yesterday on her blog that the Edwards camp had accepted her resignation. She blamed her most vocal critic, Bill Donohoe, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, writing that he “and his calvacade of right wing shills don’t respect that a mere woman like me could be hired for my skills, and pretended that John Edwards had to be held accountable for some of my personal, non-mainstream views on religious influence on politics,” which Marcotte described as being “anti-theocracy.”

Marcotte charged that Donohoe had been running a “scorched earth campaign” against her and that he “made no bones about the fact that his intent is to ’silence’ me. . . . It was creating a situation where I felt that every time I coughed, I was risking the Edwards campaign. . . . Bill Donohue doesn’t speak for Catholics, he speaks for the right wing noise machine.”

So you see, even though Marcotte is no longer associated with John Edwards her hate will stain his campaign from now to eternity. BTW, I am here to inform Amanda Marcotte that Bill Donohue doesn’t need to speak for Catholics; her words speak loud enough.

When bigoted bloggers fail to see the hate in their speech I shrug with the realization that hate is a blinding emotion and that some people are just lost causes. But when politicians try to cover for these haters with sugar coated excuses while rewarding them with high paying jobs and input into decisions that will affect me and my family I call it like it is; stupid, distrustful, unacceptable and not worthy of my vote. No apology can make up for such a lack of disregard and common sense.
