As someone who has read Ms Marcotte's blog for several years, it was, in my opinion, gratifying to see her contribution to politicial discourse being acknowledge with a chance to manage the blog of a major candidate.
The screeching comments from the right-wing beggared belief, especially when balanced against the violence and abuse trafficked on other web-pages every day.
I cannot say 'what I would have done' in the position of Ms Marcotte, but it is truly a shame that such appalling tactics have apparently brought about the desired effect.
Mr Donahue's conduct is nothing short of disgraceful, and he has, in my opinion, brought shame and disgrace upon himself and all of his associates.
I wish to pass on my best wishes to Ms Marcotte, for the obvious stress and financial difficulty caused by this shameful episode.
