I agree with you on Edwards - a tepid response, but at least he didn't cave on the issue. I think the Dems need to start saying, in acceptable language, of course, "Who the fuck are You to tell me how to run my campaign?!? I don't take advice or criticism from bigots, factually challenged partisan bloggers, Hothouse Outrage farmers, or people so blind to Reality that they still support the Bush administration and/or the GOP. You are no one and your opinion means nothing to me. Now, grow up or go away - we have important work to do." Or words to that effect.

Maybe even suggest that a lot of the people who attack the Catholic Church are really attacking assholes and phonies like Donohue, who give the Chruch a bad name (not that pedophilia coverups or Pope Benedict are really helping).

From the <a>Catholic League's website:</a> <blockquote>We don't receive a dime from the Church. Nor should we: we are a lay organization. Sure, we have many clergy who are members and all are welcome to join, but our financial base comes from individuals, not the Church. Why is this so important? Because as a lay Catholic organization we don't have to worry about violating church and state lines. Besides, we shouldn't ask the clergy to do our job; when the Church is attacked, so are its members, and that means you. That is why we must provide a response.</blockquote> Good point, Eli, maybe to the point of pressing the church about the status of Donohue’s organization vis a vis the RC church.

I don't really want to make it about the Catholic Church (indeed, if Edwards could find a respected R.C. moderate to say that Donohue does not speak for the Church, that would be a really big help), just Donohue. Besides, Donohue really *isn't* speaking for the RCC; he's speaking for the GOP. Heh.
