Your Move, Bill
So professional gadfly Bill Donohue tried to get some (more) attention for himself yesterday by calling on the DNC to disinvite progressive bloggers who are credentialed for the convention who don't meet his ethical standards. Because, you know, organizations are always putting litmus tests on the journalists who cover them. I only mention this because of this awesome reply from one of the bloggers cited.
"If Donohue is so focused on sex," Towleroad's Andy Towle responded on Monday, "his time would be better focused on healing the epidemic of sexual abuse against children by clergy in the Catholic church, and considering the facts on the use of condoms, which the Church has said have no effect on the prevention of AIDS, rather than attempting to influence American politics by limiting the Democratic ideals of free speech, inclusion and tolerance."
It is to laugh.
