Amanda Marcotte, 'Hero' Or 'Bigot'?

Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon was all over the news early this year during her short-lived and controversial career as the chief blogger for the presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards.

So does her experience make her a "hero" or a "bigot"? It all depends on who you're asking.

BlogPac, an outfit run by Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller of MyDD, think Marcotte is a hero and gave her $1,000 last week "for her courage in the face of an irresponsible media."

Conservative blogger Robert Bluey of the Heritage Foundation has a different view: "Since when did it become heroic to act as an anti-Catholic, trash-talking bigot?"
