Shocking

Profanity on the intertubes? Can you believe it? AP (02.09.07):

"[John] Edwards announced Thursday, after 36 hours of deliberation, that he would keep on his campaign staff two liberal feminist bloggers with long cybertrails of incendiary comments on sex, religion and politics."

Edwards to keep bloggers on staff / Pre-campaign posts attacked religion

"In some of their online writings, [Amanda] Marcotte and [Melissa] McEwan used vulgar language to characterize religious conservatives and Roman Catholic teachings on birth control, homosexuality and Jesus' virgin birth."

"McEwan referred to conservative Christians as 'Christofascists,' and Marcotte said the Catholic Church's prohibition on the use of birth control forced women to bear 'more tithing Catholics.'"

"Both frequently used sexually explicit profanity to describe their ideological opponents."

Ha, ha. Big fucking deal.
