Amanda posted vile, nasty criticism of Christianity and Catholics. Words were not "put in her mouth." Nor did she suffer from "vile attacks" in public. Her own words were held up the to public eye. She attacked a belief system that has been around more than 2000 years and will far outlive her.
Amanda's hatred of Christians and her writings are her First Amendment Right. However, it is the First Amendment right of anyone else to hold her accountable for her words.
Grow up Amanda. You speak in a public forum on controversial topics you should be prepared for others to attack your views. This is not "the big media revenge" or "picking on young girls" or "being mean to young liberal feminists." This is your words being circulated. Grow up. Take responsibility for your writing.
John Edwards is responsible because he made you a paid staffer. Your writing would be wrapped around his neck as an insult to 20% of the electorate (Catholics) or 89% of the electorate (Christians).
Although people should not send nasty threatening emails, people like Amanda should not whine when others who dislike their point of view use their words against them. Its called the First Amendment and it applies to people who disagree with you.
Grow up and get over yourself.
Signed,
Not A Loser Liberal
