I never understood Marcottes tirade against Catholic opposition to abortion and birth control.

Also, did’ja ever notice that these nutty liberals don’t bash Black Christian Men? Only White Christian Men?

Because this singular Catholic ideology fits very nicely in her “all white men are evil” category.

;)

In short, it’s none of her business what Catholics do, so her obvious hate for Catholics, Christians in general is even more deranged.

Since the Marcotte-McEwan-Edwards ménage à trois, there has been a lot of comment from both the left and the right in favor of Edwards retaining his two miscreant bloggers. The argument generally went along the lines of how firing them would make it …

If Bill would shut the he11 up, she would have stated her case plainly. And then she’d be out of a job. Are we missing some kind of trigger mechanism on the entire dem-nutroots society whereas they would all systematically declare their prejudice towards Christians publicly? To stick by their guns?

You are absolutely right. Here is direct proof of your thesis. Here is a post from one of the few people that actually engaged me, but he had to call me a troll:

Yeah, the name kinda gave it away (none / 0)

Note to driveby trolls, “cute” names like “sayitaintsoJohn” or “DemsRdummies” and the like are dead givaways.

I guess they define “troll” as “someone who disagrees with us and dares to post anything on one of ‘our’ sites.”

But, there was at least a minority of posters who saw how stupid it was for Edwards to ever associate himself with that mean, vile and hateful individual. I posted the “sticky” quote many times. Few would defend that quote, but most thought that Edwards should have stood up to the “right wing hate machine” or whatever they call us now. Laughably, they think the media is conservative.

I did needle them on a few other issues, such as the real harm suffered by real people when they raised the minimum wage here in Arizona. I could single-handedly shut down a thread by raising a point of disagreement — most of them just can’t stand to be challenged on the merits.

Mostly, I argued that all sides should aim higher than the intentionally offensive Amanda Marcotte. (One Leftie linked me to an “I hate Michelle Malkin” site to prove that Ms. Malkin is just as bad, albeit without the Martin Scorcese mob movie f-bomb count. The Left believes that it is just as indecent to have “incorrect” political ideas as it is to scream obscenities at someone.)

I’m disappointed. I question their timing.

Ah … it’s all so clear now, why couldn’t I see it before?

So, a liberal can pick and choose who they denigrate as long as it fits into the “all white men are evil” category, and ignore anyone else. Hmmm …

I must admit, though, Amanda (and her ilk) provoke the curious side in me.

Kinda like driving past a car wreck. Ya just can’t help taking a peek.

While loyalty played into the pushback some, the real story is that we liberals are not taking this crap any longer and we’re pushing back.

And Ms. Marcotte is gone…

If she was asked to leave, with or without a package, which we’ll never know about, then it was by a white, male, rich and assumed Christian candidate – the irony is syrupy, sweet and thick as molasses.

I like Femmebigot :)

She looked really great too ……

She never resigned; Edwards told her last week that in return for a big severance package, plus help in the future, he’d keep her on, but after a week she would ‘resign’.

Where’d THIS come from?

Links, please.

Amanda needs prayer.

Exactly. She is completely filled with hate. The vile stuff that comes out of her mouth is like a snake spewing its venom. The best thing that we can do is pray for her.

I must admit, though, Amanda (and her ilk) provoke the curious side in me. I always find myself wondering what happened to her to make her into what she is. It is almost as if someone subjected her to bizarre medical experiments.
People like her sorta’ remind me of the Gollum character in the “Lord of the Rings” films.

The may be a bit confusing so I’ll make it easy to understand:
She said to Edwards what she means when she said what she said and how people have misunderstood what she meant when she said what she said. It’s the fault of other people because they say what she meant when they say what she said, so now she’s force to say what she means when they say what she said. How much clearer can it be?

Apparently now that she has left the Edwards campaign she is free to mean what she says without having to say what she means when she says what she says and others can say what she says without saying what she says she means when she says what she says. That should make thing a lot simpler for her and us.

If, as Marcotte so rabidly states, she is a jihadist against “The Patriarchy”, why hasn’t she attacked the supreme patriarchal religion of them all … islam?

Liberals don’t recongize Islamic Fascism because their definition of fascism only includes white conservative American men.

If they publicly recognized an other fascist groups they could no longer blame all the worlds problems on white conservative American men.
