Americablog has a good summary of the attack on Edwards

I was not familiar with the latest swiftboat attack on one of our candidates. I thought this was a good summary. Smells like Swiftboat Liar doo doo.

What will the Associated Press come up with next? David Duke on the merits of the fight for black equality, or Lynette "Squeaky" Fromm's inside look at the State of the Union?

What I'm talking about is the Associated Press quoting today what they call a "Catholic group" that is concerned about alleged "anti-Catholic bigots" working on the John Edwards presidential campaign (they're talking about Edwards' new bloggers who have been critical of the Catholic church - and who hasn't?).

The "Catholic group" in question is none other than the Catholic League, a far-right fringe group of activists run by a loud-mouthed and somewhat-unhinged-appearing president William Donohue. Donohue is AP's expert on bigotry and religion. And in fact, Donohue is an expert on religious bigotry and hate speech - an expert in spewing it, that is.

Nice job, AP. Two young people are in danger of losing the job of their lifetime because you didn't bother checking out your source before you presented him to all of America as some Catholic leader, rather than a Jew-hating homophobe.

One final point. Check out who this "Catholic group" is affiliated with.

Members of the Catholic League's board of advisers include conservative author and media analyst L. Brent Bozell III; conservative radio host and syndicated columnist Linda Chavez; right-wing pundit and author Dinesh D'Souza; former Republican presidential and senatorial candidate Alan Keyes; and National Review Washington editor Kate O'Beirne.

Yeah, some Catholic group. It reads like the board of the Heritage Foundation.

I mean, just look at that list in the last paragraph. Don't they ever get hate-fatigue?

I just love those guys. they write wicked.

One of the great sites. :thumbsup:

at DU either.

Obama/Edwards/Clinton/Clark is TOAST.

Rinse and repeat.

:hi:

They are extremely homophobic and are opposed to equality for women. Yes they are a hate group, and they can not hide behind their religion to cover up that fact. I am tired of people giving these homophobes a pass on their hatred, let us call them what they are.

(Edited for spelling)

In spite of the rumors I haven't heard that they were fired. I don't think they will be. I could be wrong though.
