I am not religious at all, but I can see how Marcotte's "hot sticky" comment could offend Christians. It should not matter that she wrote the commentary before joining the Edwards campaign. Her rationalizion of the comment - gee, cantcha take a joke? - is just ridiculous.
I also read her "Children of Men" review and the posts that followed it, and the nastiest posts were from her followers piling on anyone who dared question Marcotte's ignorant interpretation of the "virgin birth." Those who differed with Maqrcotte's pseudo-intellectual review were slammed as "trolls" or "Christian wingnuts."
But that's the Right AND the Left blogosphere -- about 10 percent rational thought, 90 percent vicious attack on anyone who isn't a true believer.
Good riddance, Marcotte.
