Catholic League Demands Hillary Campaign Director Resign for Anti-Catholic Comments

Of course he won't. Offending religious people is what the smart set does. Now if Jenny had said anything offensive about Black Lives Matter or the LGBT professional class, she'd be out of the door faster than you can say, "Boo". So this will be ignored by the media, though not perhaps by many Catholics. But it's another example of how toxic the Clinton campaign is becoming.

A top aide to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is under fire from Catholic groups for remarks she made in hacked emails published by WikiLeaks, with one group calling on Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri to resign.

“Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus,” Halpin wrote. “Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) from the SC and think tanks to the media and social groups. It's an amazing bastardization of the faith. They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.”

Podesta did not respond to the email chain, but Palmieri weighed in:

“I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion,” she wrote. “Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.”

The Catholic League, an anti-defamation organization, blasted the Clinton campaign for the exchange.

“These anti-Catholic remarks are bad enough but it makes one wonder what else Clinton’s chiefs and others associated with the campaign are saying about Catholics and Catholicism,” the group said in a statement.

A politically conservative group called Catholic Vote, which claims 500,000 members, is demanding Palmieri resign.

It's not as if this attitude begins at any lower level than the very top. Does anyone think Hillary doesn't feel the same way?
