JOHN EDWARDS TOLERATES ANTI-CATHOLICISM

Presidential hopeful John Edwards issued a statement today
explaining why he is not firing Amanda Marcotte and Melissa
McEwan for making obscene and anti-Catholic remarks.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue responds as follows:

"John Edwards has apparently decided that there is more to be
gained by aligning himself with the cultural left than by standing
on principle and firing the Catholic bashers on his payroll. Had
anyone on his staff used the 'N-word,' he or she would have been
fired immediately. But his goal is to loot the pockets of the
Soros/Hollywood gang, and they-like him-aren't offended by
anti-Catholicism. Indeed, they thrive on it.

"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. When Isaiah
Washington got ticked off and made anti-gay 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.

"Edwards said today that 'We're beginning a great debate about
the future of our country, and we can't let it be hijacked.' I have
news for him-the Catholic League-not Edwards-will decide what
the debate will be about, and it won't be about the nation. It will
be about the glaring double standard that colors the entire
conversation about bigotry.

"We will launch a nationwide public relations blitz that will be
conducted on the pages of the New York Times, as well as in
Catholic newspapers and periodicals. It will be on-going, breaking
like a wave, starting next week and continuing through 2007. It
will be an education campaign, informing the public of what he
did today. We will also reach out to our allies in the Catholic,
Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist communities. They
worked with us before on many issues, and are sure to do so
again. What Edwards did today will not be forgotten."

Well I guess true colors are showing. Who a person aligns him/herself
with says a lot. What was this illusion of decency? "Hijacked?"

Guess who else I will not vote for, because they do not represent me.

Filth doesn't turn me on.
