On a scale of 1 to 10, what the two women bloggers who worked for John Edwards said about Jesus and Our Blessed Mother was a 10 in terms of hate speech. What Ann Coulter said about homosexuals was a lot lower on the scale. Yet Edwards branded Coulter’s remark “hateful” and labeled the comments of Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan merely “intolerant.” Moreover, he forgave Marcotte and McEwan immediately.

Nice to know what passes as hate speech for John Edwards, and that which doesn’t.
