Beware on the blosgosphere

Be on the lookout for faith-baiting political candidates, like John Edwards.

Bill Donohue, the President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, yesterday exposed the anti-Catholic backgrounds of two recent campaign staff appointments by U.S. Presidential hopeful, Senator John Edwards.  Donohue called the two hires “anti-Catholic” and “vulgar’ and demanded that they be immediately fired.

The Catholic League chief, who keeps an eye out for anti-Catholicism in the American public forum, pointed out that both Amanda Marcotte, Edwards’ new “Blogmaster” and Melissa McEwan, who will be his new “Netroots Coordinator” have histories of posting offensive comments against the Pope and the Church online?

 And on June 14th, the new Edwards “blogmaster” suggested that if the Blessed Virgin Mary had taken the Plan B, abortion pill after conceiving Jesus, the Church would be forced “to justify (its) misogyny with another ancient mythology.”
