Voice From The Wilderness – Religious Left Is Unhappy With Edwards
There is a religious left? Now there is a term that hasn’t been used in a long time. Anyway, it seems that John Edwards is in trouble with this group because he failed to actually fire his anti-religious bloggers.
(Via Instapundit) The Politico reports – Edwards Blogger Flap Discomforts Religious Left
As the flap over alleged anti-Catholic writings by two John Edwards campaign bloggers devolves into a shouting match between conservative religious voices and liberal bloggers, some members of the “religious left” say they feel – again – shoved to the margins of the Democratic Party.
No way could that happened. The left is all for religion just ask our local Professor.
“We have gone so far to rebuild that coalition [between Democrats and religious Christians] and something like this sets it back,” said Brian O’Dwyer, a New York lawyer and Irish-American leader who chairs the National Democratic Ethnic Leadership Council, a Democratic Party group. O’Dwyer said Edwards should have fired the bloggers. “It’s not only wrong morally – it’s stupid politically.”
“Stupid politically� Mr. O’Dwyer, Edwards is only politically viable if he keeps you in the closet until the end of the primary season. The only religion that is of importance to him in the primary is global warming, isolationism, and special interest groups.
