46. It goes far beyond just a snickers advert comment, there are a shedload of homophobic posts

that show a clear pattern of homophobic intent. Your attempts at diminution of that are duly noted.

I am done here. Go find a Sanders supporter to have a kick-about with. I have no love for a myriad number (non DU) of them, as I was a huge Buttigieg supporter and the dirty tricks and smears from OUTSIDE of DU by many of them directed at Pete were beyond the pale and outrageous.

But, again, and for the last time, that is not germane to this.

I am talking about basic truth versus lying and journalistic integrity and you are trying to drag it off into the weeds to try and settle some ideological score that I truly could not care less about. I do not care what Democratic party ideological segment a talking head is a supporter of, as long as they are fundamentally honest. Honesty and transparency are foundational to the effective functioning of a democracy, in which the press most assuredly plays a large role.

Have a nice evening.

Cheers

I agree with you about her impressive panel discussions. ariadne0614 Jun 2020 #24
the lying about it was not a long time ago, the lying is what makes her a very poor, poor choice Celerity Jun 2020 #28

Bernie and all that drama have nothing to do with her lying, and the main reason some look past that Celerity Jun 2020 #38
The Bernie people were snooping around her background R B Garr Jun 2020 #39
heroes don't have to blatantly lie, I don't get sucked into the Bernie angst, it is not germane Celerity Jun 2020 #40
She beat them at their own game. R B Garr Jun 2020 #41
not buying your framing and your excuse-making for a journo flat-out lying, sorry Celerity Jun 2020 #42
And I'm not buying your framing, either. Her reasoning was easy to understand, R B Garr Jun 2020 #43
lol, then I suppose DU itself was hacked back in 2007 when Reid was a local South FL Blogger Celerity Jun 2020 #44
Sorry, but your LexisNexis type posts are a bit overwrought for me to wade through. R B Garr Jun 2020 #45

Maya Wiley would be FAR better, she deserves her own show, she is superb Celerity Jun 2020 #31
Maya is truly awesome, but does she aspire to mere high-octane punditry? ariadne0614 Jun 2020 #32
this is a fair point, but if not, would far rather her than Reid Celerity Jun 2020 #33
