Apparently, Amanda Marcotte's great sin was using the word "Christofascist" as a take off on the ever-popular Islamofascist. She's prettty clearly vulgar and has little or no couth, but I don't quite get the anti-Catholic rant. If we invited her to post here, she'd be right at home.
  • Ms. Marcotte wrote in December that the Roman Catholic Church’s opposition to the use of contraception forced women “to bear more tithing Catholics.” In another posting last year, she used vulgar language to describe the church doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus.

I'm not sure that either of these things make her anti-Catholic, but it's easier to see where the charge is coming from than it is with McEwan.
