Edward's stance towards Catholicism puts the exclamation mark on hypocrite. He'd never allow these things to be said about Muslims, or ...

some members of the "religious left" say they feel again shoved to the margins of the Democratic Party. Hello? They hate you guys! Can't you figure it out? I guess not since you are liberals.

"As a constituency, the Christian left isn't taken all that seriously," Penalver said.Why would they be? Political Correctness is the opposite of the 10 Commandments. The Christian left is more like an Antichrist cult.

The Catholic Church is socially conservative but economically liberal. Libertarians are economically conservative but socially liberal.

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 theylike himarent 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 dont apply to him, which is why he has chosen to embrace foul-mouthed anti-Catholic bigots on his payroll."

""As a constituency, the Christian left isn't taken all that seriously," Penalver said." No need to, where else are you going to go?
Kind of like certain other groups that the Democrats don't have to take seriously because there is nowhere else to go.
Kind of like how the Republicans don't take the Christians seriously because there isn't anywhere else to go.
Kind of like that...

"We're completely invisible to this debate," said Eduardo Penalver, a Cornell University law professor who writes for the liberal Catholic journal Commonweal. He said he was dissatisfied with the Edwards campaign's response. "As a constituency, the Christian left isn't taken all that seriously," Penalver said. Well, Eduardo, you silly goose. Watch which head the multi-headed hydra talks out of. You will easily see that you are a little more than slightly out of the mainstream in the motley gaggle of tiny little interest groups that the Democrats pander to.
They will drag you out of the closet when the need suits them, and put you back after your sound bite. Just like they do to blacks...

The "Christian" left is ignored, because it doesn't exist, it isn't possible.

O'Dwyer said Edwards should have fired the bloggers. "It's not only wrong morally it's stupid politically." O'Dwyer e-mailed a statement to reporters saying: "Senator Edwards is condoning bigotry by keeping the two bloggers on his staff. Playing to the cheap seats with anti-Catholic bigotry has no place in the Democratic Party." Someone send O'Dwyer a memo and tell him that the Democratic party of 40 years ago which got a Catholic elected to the Presidency is long gone, replaced by socialist/communists who disdain religion of any kind and Christianity in particular.

The "Christian Left" has to be an all time classic oxymoron.
It's like J Carter's book, in which he argues for discarding all traditional American values, and he terms it as protecting our traditional values. The left seeks the elimination of all religion. People who were involved with left wing groups have told me they have a particular hatred for religion.

"Religous Left" -- isn't that an oxymoron ?? Yeah, it seems to be another invention of the secularists and Dem-sympathizers, like "progressive" and fill-in-the-blankphobia. Essentially it's a nominal Christian church that's really just a front for liberal causes. In reality, CNN is the "religious left".

Nothing worse than a liberal female.

"Religous Left" -- isn't that an oxymoron ?? "Christian Left" is - but Leftists are hyper-religious. Unquestioning adherence to party ritual and doctrine are everything to them.
