And following up on infanticide-loving elitists....

We read the following from InsideCatholic:

When Obama's Catholic supporters attacked Catholic League president Bill Donohue for his criticism of their candidate, they did not mention Obama's support for infanticide.

The question will inevitably arise for the distinguished group of Catholics supporting Obama as to how they can defend his preference for infanticide in cases where a child survives a botched abortion. The fury Obama's Catholics vented toward Donohue will only force them to face that question sooner than they may have expected.

It's clear to me how it will be answered: It won't. Obama's Catholics are already attempting to reframe the abortion issue in their favor. They will do everything they can to divert attention from the fact that their candidate is actually the most extreme pro-abortion advocate ever to be nominated by a political party for president of the United States.

The letter to Donohue reveals the arguments Obama's Catholics will use to evade the question of infanticide:

What we will read from so-called Catholics supporting anti-freedom, pro-death candidates is puerile, sophomoric rhetoric which is all too familiar and which has been refuted any number of times in the past. We have so-called Catholics who, frankly, are not Catholic at all, but they make that specious claim and lay the ground work for sowing confusion and scandal among the faithful and the general public.

They are apostates of the faith as well as supporters of infanticide.
