William Donahue's Catholic League is not a mainstream Catholic organization. It's a right-wing fringe group whose views are not representative of the majority of American Catholics. How to get this point across?
"350,000 Mel Gibsons"
Gibson did us the favor of making himself the world's best-known anti-Semitic Catholic bigot. It's time to make use of that fact. So, the next time someone asks an Edwards campaign spokesperson whether they're worried about offending Catholics, the spokesperson should say, "We're not worried about offending 350,000 Mel Gibsons." P.R. problem solved.
(If there's a member of the Edwards campaign reading this, no charge. This one's on the house.)
