OTOH, what about the leader of the Young Democrats (and I saw this on the box) who said she would fire anyone who blogged anti-black sentiments, but would not have fired these 2, or anyone else, for blogging anti-Christian sentiments?
Come on. What those women wrote was foul and disgusting, and if the objects of their vitriol had been members of one of the protected classes then they would have been fired out of a cannon. But no, to a particular section of the political spectrum it's perfectly okay to smear and malign Christians (most of whom are perfectly sane, decent people).
I absolutely agree they have the right to say/blog whatever they think and feel. Free speech is crucial. And so is the freedom to vigorously refute their opinions. (Threats etc are crap, always, no matter who is espousing them) and to call them out for saying some of the revolting things they said.
Edwards is an idiot, full stop. He should have done his homework before taking these two on, or, failing that, should have had the guts to see they are hate mongers and small, vicious, intolerant people who want to smear all Christians with a stinky brush because some Christians have completely lost the plot.
Hey, when the right-wingers do that to the Muslim population, all Muslims are terrorists because some Muslims are terrorists, isn't that supposed to be evil, or something?
