If you want the details, here’s what William Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said they said. Here’s a sample of Donohue’s own output. And here are the statements from Edwards and the two bloggers. Salon‘s Alex Koppelman and Rebecca Traister have been on the case.
Media Matters documents the noncoverage of a similar situation involving John McCain and a right-wing blogger who not only engaged in what Donohue now wants to call hate speech but didn’t disclose that McCain had employed him. And you may recall the vice president of the United States dropping the F-bomb on a colleague on the Senate floor.
Greenwald thinks this episode is over, but it’s not. Today, Donohue says, “I have developed a game plan that will keep this issue afloat for the remainder of the year.” Would it be bigoted to call that rounding up a lynch mob?
