    Reality's A Bitch, Ain't It Amanda

    I just chuckle when I hear Amanda's defenders crying "free speech!" Sure, she has the right to speak her mind. And others have the right to react to it.

    Amanda is free to be a racist, sexist bigot. I have the right to NOT support a candidate who would hire such trash. The fact of the matter is, nobody made up anything in this whole saga. These were HER words, HER thoughts, HER opinions. The fact is that HER OWN WORDS show her to be an immature, racist, sexist bigot. I will not vote for someone who chooses to associate themselves with this garbage.

    YOU made your bed. Grow up and lie in it. Quit playing the "victim." YOU are solely responsible for what you wrote. Be an adult and take responsibility for your actions.
