Stop Playing Liberal Games!
Look. The problem is not that Edwards hired staffers who were intolerant. The problem is that they were anti-Catholic. I would hope that our President is intolerant of Mormons, Falun Gong, Scientologists, Episcopagans, and other whack-job cults out there. This sort of blanket tolerance: tolerance of you, tolerance of me, tolerance of these other three, this is all rubbish. This is why I like the more vehement of the Mohammedans. They are against us. We are against them, and we can all work together in an atmosphere of honesty and animosity.
I can't believe what a bunch of crybabies we sound like. Demanding that Edwards fire these staffers? Are you kidding? We should praise him for letting his staff be relaxed enough to show the world what the Edwards campaign is all about. The time to bring this stuff up is closer to election time, anyway, if you are thinking in terms of partisan political strategizing.
Don't we realize that in today's climate, complaining about inthenthitivity is not our winning strategy?
Quit whining.

More specifically, firing these twits would infuriate his base, and wouldn't get him any measurable gain in Roman Catholic support. (He probably already has a good bit of American Catholic support, at least from the factions that haven't already cast their lot with Bush & Co.)
