Melissa Sums It Up Nicely
What those who believe I (or Amanda) 'caved' don't seem to understand is that from Day One, this situation just kept escalating. When Donohue went after me, I didn't quit. When Malkin went after me, I didn't quit. When the rightwing blogosphere went after me, I didn't quit. When the mainstream media went after me, I didn't quit. When someone from another Democratic campaign went after me, I didn't quit. When Bill O'Reilly went after me, I didn't quit. And after all that hadn't made me quit, the threats poured in.
Melissa sums up very nicely why she had to quit. The right wing can not, nor have they ever been able to back up their arguments with facts, so they yell, they lie and they threaten violence to get their "point" across. It speaks volumes to their characters. They are all bullies, though they try to paint themselves in a different light, but all the painting in the world can't change that fact.
Melissa did the right thing for her and for her family. There was no caving, it was simply the only way to survive and she rightly took the only path that she had to escape the insanity.
