First, the Edwards camp chose these two bloggers precisely because of their popularity among the far left base — this indicates that their views are supported by enough people that they caught the attention of a national presidential campaign, and that makes what they wrote very relevant.
Second, though I wasn’t speaking specifically of higher education, but rather of the party leaders they produce, classes on university campuses that “honor Buddha and Allah” while disparaging Christ abound. (Political science, history, and literature classes jump most readily to mind. Math and Science courses are, I believe, for the most part still safe.) My intent was to briefly describe the Republican Party before grassroots Christian organizations had begun to wield influence within it.
Finally, I do not argue anywhere in my column for the suppression of hate speech against evangelicals or Catholics. And at no point did I suggest that legislators or the courts do anything to mitigate Marcotte et al.’s bigotry. In fact, I clearly said there is nothing we can do about such attitudes except reach out on a personal basis to those who espouse them.
