Good News: Anti-Catholic Edwards' Campaigner Amanda Marcotte Quits!

New York, Feb 13, 2007 / 11:25 am (CNA).- Following the first day of a “public relations blitz” on the part of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, one of the chief campaign bloggers for Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards quit Monday evening. The resignation of Amanda Marcotte came on the same day that the Catholic League publicized a new post she made regarding the Virgin Birth of Jesus.

Marcotte posted on her personal blog that the criticism "was creating a situation where I felt that every time I coughed, I was risking the Edwards campaign."

It's interesting that whenever she coughs it sounds exactly like blasphemy and bigotry. Poor thing! She had better take care of that cough and get to Confession immediately.

Marcotte said she resigned from her position Monday, and that her resignation was accepted by the campaign.

Immediately after Edwards announced that he would hire Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan, two well-known liberal bloggers, to run his on-line campaign, Catholic League President Bill Donohue uncovered a long history of anti-Catholic and anti-Christian blogging by the two. Donohue immediately called for Edwards to fire the two “foul-mouthed bigots.

Praise the Lord! One of them is gone. And how about the other one?

The Catholic League President, however, has said Marcotte’s resignation is not enough.“It is not enough that one foul-mouthed anti-Christian bigot, Amanda Marcotte, has quit. Melissa McEwan must go as well. Either Edwards shows her the door or she bolts on her own. There is no third choice—the Catholic League will see to it that this issue won’t go away.”“The Edwards campaign is in total disarray and the meltdown will continue unless McEwan is removed from his staff,” Donohue wrote. The fact that Marcotte had to quit suggests that Edwards doesn’t have the guts to do what is morally right. He has one more chance—fire McEwan now.”
