At Hot Air I usually only read the posts by Morrissey. Donna, I was a faithful reader of Captain’s Quarters also, and I only began to read Hot Air when Morrissey closed up shop and moved over there.

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:43:21 +0000 http://the-american-catholic.com/?p=6637#comment-1865 It's not just the anti-Catholicism that is wearying at Hot Air - any discussion of say, evolution, degenerates into a stupid, unedifying squabble. I got my fill of the place during the primaries, when the supporters of Huckabee were bashing the supporters of Romney and McCain and vice versa. It got very nasty and childish, and after a while I thought "This place is turning into the right wing version of Daily Kos. Why am I wasting my time here?" I liked the old Captain's Quarters blog much more. I thought the commentators there were generally a thoughtful bunch, but I suppose I can't blame Morrissey for wanting a more high profile (and, I hope, more lucrative) venue.

My point of course is they need to do a great deal more. e. I know of one anti-Catholic bigot that Ed Morrissey has banned. My point of course is they need to do a great deal more.

In regard to the Catholic Church the management of Hot Air has failed to take effective steps to ban anti-Catholic haters from among the ranks of the commenters, and to send a clear message that they are not welcome. They can do far better than this." Did it even occur to you gents that they might bloody well hold the same anti-Catholic sentiments that their commenters foaming at the mouth do? The fact that they haven't even in the least spoke out against the anti-Catholic vermin should make that self-evident. “If a website is to be part of a responsible debate on the issues of the day, the management of the site must take steps to ensure that bigots do not shelter within their comboxes to vent their hatred against other creeds or races.
