Who here on this website thinks Joy Reid is a transphobic, homophobe today?? [View all] boston bean Apr 2018 OP

I LOVE JOY REID Evergreen Emerald Apr 2018 #1

She has a history of making homophobic and transphobic comments. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #2

If she has a history of this I'm sure you can share a couple of them that are verified as her. Maraya1969 Apr 2018 #18

There are the blog posts she apologised for in December, for a start. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #23

She was pointing out Republican hypocrisy with Gov. Crist. This kind of R B Garr Apr 2018 #42

And with Lindsay Graham as well, I guess? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #47

She was mocking Republican hypocrisy, and she is on R B Garr Apr 2018 #55

Of course that is what she is doing. But she is ANTI rump and putin, so expect Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #127

I have made comments about Ann Coulter as have many people on here in the far past. Maraya1969 Apr 2018 #45

I think my comment was 100% accurate. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #49

I don't .. stonecutter357 Apr 2018 #50

I think it's entirely fair to say that someone who regularly employed homophobic tropes... Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #51

So now 2003-2008 is "the better part of a decade" and "long history"? George II Apr 2018 #72

There are tweets from 2010 and 2011 Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #115

Better part of a decade? HA HA HA. So this cant be about the veracity of her response. bettyellen Apr 2018 #87

lol fail ..... stonecutter357 Apr 2018 #114

After looking at your posts over the last few days it is obvious you are out to hurt Ms. Reid Maraya1969 Apr 2018 #60

yet personal beliefs about something that you cannot produce verifiable Ninsianna Apr 2018 #134

Of course you do...... helmedon1974 Apr 2018 #179

Yes, and was forgiven by all, including Charlie Crist. But that wasn't enough to bring her down.... George II Apr 2018 #118

She should've apologised again instead of making stupid "I was hacked" claims (n/t) Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #120

And how do you know that she wasn't hacked? Why should she apologize for something.... George II Apr 2018 #122

Because one of the blog posts in question was quoted and linked on DU in 2007, for a start? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #124

All I ask for is consistency, surely these folks can show us a lifetime of OVERTLY speaking out Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #128

And in the course of her speaking out she's made a lot of enemies. So what's the best way.... George II Apr 2018 #131

Worked on Franken! We keep falling for it but to be fair to "we" or "us" Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #132

Twitter. George II Apr 2018 #135

How are any of those "phobic" in any way? helmedon1974 Apr 2018 #178

who is next, Spider? Surely there must be a lot of "questionables" in your mind? hlthe2b Apr 2018 #25

Not especially, no Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #29

Glad to hear that, but she did apologize... hlthe2b Apr 2018 #36

She apologised for other blog posts, the current ones she claims were "hacked" Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #38

that is based on assuming the "way back machine" which is a single moment in time archive hlthe2b Apr 2018 #67

Never said she wasn't allowed to make a mistake Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #71

That article was written by a man who himself was convicted of hacking..... George II Apr 2018 #117

I would absolutely rely on his expertise in this area, since it's something he knows. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #119

and relying on the right wing agit prop is also defensible because that is after all Ninsianna Apr 2018 #136

Sorry, but I did my own analysis, because I'm not a technical illiterate. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #144

Are you a cyber security expert? helmedon1974 Apr 2018 #183

So you can turn around and proclaim her guilt because she apologized dansolo Apr 2018 #161

you seem very concerned . stonecutter357 Apr 2018 #30

Not particularly? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #32

"our side". lol . stonecutter357 Apr 2018 #33

Yep. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #35

That bothers me too. I dislike hypocrisy. Tipperary Apr 2018 #44

Nominally on our side? HA. That is complete bullshit. bettyellen Apr 2018 #88

Not only are many genuinely appalled by the absurdist tribalism on display over this, lapucelle Apr 2018 #95

+1 MrsCoffee Apr 2018 #107

What is this "tribalism" or "our side" of which you speak? George II Apr 2018 #121

"We have to unthinkingly defend Joy Reid because she's a progressive!" Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #123

I didn't see anyone say that. George II Apr 2018 #129

Not in so many words, but that's the general sentiment. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #130

You don't like that (possible) transparent lies are blindly defended..... George II Apr 2018 #133

I'm condemning her for lying about it. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #140

You know definitively that she's lying, without a doubt? George II Apr 2018 #142

I'm 100% certain of it. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #146

I think we should throw every Democratic female journalist that has ever said something leftofcool Apr 2018 #39

Like I said... Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #41

"A history"? What constitutes a "history"? Is there a time frame involved to determine "history"? George II Apr 2018 #58

Consistently on her blog from c. 2005-2008, or so, and on Twitter through at least 2012? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #63

Now it's "consistently", from 13-10 years ago. Indeed. George II Apr 2018 #66

Can you point to a single one in the last five years? Eight years? pnwmom Apr 2018 #158

No, it'd indicate an awareness of changing climate. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #166

I believe she now understands that she has a wider audience than she did back in the days hughee99 Apr 2018 #174

I agree Blue_Adept Apr 2018 #3

I absolutley believe my side is the good side. Kingofalldems Apr 2018 #11

I think if a progressive said abhorrent things consistently, there would be no doubt... hlthe2b Apr 2018 #21

I could see judging a Democrat differently treestar Apr 2018 #57

I'm just wary of a mix of absolutism and hypocrisy Blue_Adept Apr 2018 #65

The kind of intensity it is generating is a huge red flag for me. Plus Greenwald- hasnt he bettyellen Apr 2018 #76

It is a mixture of things that are driving this situation. Caliman73 Apr 2018 #83

Hillary said some weird stuff about Nancy Reagan Funtatlaguy Apr 2018 #4

Hillary didn't claim not to have said it and been hacked dsc Apr 2018 #6

That would be strange. NCTraveler Apr 2018 #101

so let me get this straight dsc Apr 2018 #108

"to refuse to support her" NCTraveler Apr 2018 #111

Don't drag Hillary into this. Her mistake of being too nice about Nancy is NOT comparable. n/t pnwmom Apr 2018 #159

Nancy and Ronald Reagan were responsible Funtatlaguy Apr 2018 #164

Do not be so Open Minded you let your brains fall out. MicaelS Apr 2018 #74

I'm going to go ahead and predict that Joy will end up being Al Frankened. betsuni Apr 2018 #17

I expect she will resign soon. leftofcool Apr 2018 #20

Gawd, I hope not... and I will be very angry if that happens hlthe2b Apr 2018 #22
