    Quitter

    As a Black activist in the real world and in the blogsphere, I can dish it and take it... It is obvious Amanda was nothing more than a fictional warrior a white elitist blogivist who like most white liberals and white conservatives truly no nothing about the reality of power, politics and truth in this country. Life in this country when you are not a part of the ruling class is not a walk in the park or a slick and clever retort on a blog.

    Amanda, you of course are no different than many so called activists when the shit it's the fan you fold up and call it a day. I hope you do not become any role model but an example of a quitter. The winner in this saga is Edwards who did not surrender or cut and run like you, that is a good thing for folks to witness and remember during this campaign run....
