I don't really care for Marcotte or McEwen, but the real issue is that Bill Donohue, the Republicans' spokesperson on this controvery, is such a raving bigot that he can't give an interview without some kind of slur.
"his goal is to loot the pockets of the [George] Soros/Hollywood gang"
George Soros is not a major figure in Hollywood, nor does he have a lot to do with major entertainment industry players.
But replace "[George]" with "Jew" and suddenly Donohue becomes comprehensible. Crazy and anti-Semitic, but comprehensible.
Donohue's a freelance bigot without a constituency. (For more evidence of bigotry, see Digby's blog.) I'd like to see Salon run an expose of the "Catholic League" -- who their actual members are, and who provides their funding.
A media which takes Donohue seriously is fundamentally broken.
