Joy Reid created homophobic blog posts in the past, blames Russian hackers

You have a firm grasp on the obvious.

 

Not surprising OP is offended when people blame things on Russian trolls. trololololo!

 

people who live in glass houses should not throw stones at other peoples glass houses.

also, since OP did not even bother to post a news article about the thread i had to look it up to see what the whole kerfluffle is about.

she said some douchey things and should have owned it and apologized...instead she blamed hackers (sort of) then took it back (sort of). pretty weak and lame response from her. should she be fired? i dont know, but it definitely hurts her credibility as a journalist. but msnbc is the same network who employs brian "i saw bodies floating down bourbon street" williams who is not credible either.

that being said, for any trump supporter to criticize her for this is as laughable as bobby calling others triggered.

 

I agree with that principle, but it's not relevant in this situation.

 

Just so people know she called Lindsey Graham Miss Lindsey and said something about Ann Coulter being a bit manly.

Don't watch Bill Maher anymore. No cable. He makes fun of Graham's sexuality all the time and his man crush on John McCain

I would be lying if I said I didn't think was Graham was in the closet. Dude is quite feminine

Reid claims she doesn't remember the posts but can't prove blog was hacked.

I stopped watching MSNBC during 2016 election season. Reid is one of the commentators I became disenchanted with over what I consider unprofessional coverage of Trump. They are becoming just as bad as FOX on their commentary.

I understand a lot of Trump criticism but they still demonize him unfairly

 

That's fine, but have you also stopped watching Trump? That's all he seems to do. He unfairly dehumanizes not only people (which he does frequently) but whole groups of people.

 

So how long ago was this?

Making fun of people by insinuating they are LGBT was common and not seen as a big deal until not too long ago. For many, it’s still not seen as a big deal.

 

Odd that you haven't made this same conclusion regarding our Prevaricator-in-Chief.

 

She did more than that, but the stuff I have seen and posted earlier in this thread isn't any worse than many Conservative Christians (and Trump's base) post on a routine basis.

 

He is offensive to Hispanics. However David Duke associates himself with Trump unsolicited. Trump says he doesn't know him. The Joy Reid's run weeks of commentary associating Trump and Duke

 

and that comment about trump not knowing duke was a lie b/c he is on record talking about duke in the 90's and how terrible he thought he was. further proof that trump is a pathological liar. thanks for reminding everyone of that!

 

They still aren't associated. They met. You never met a racist?

 

typical Trump sheep, easily fooled; my advise to you is to think for urself

Over the years, Trump / David Duke's paths crossed several times; here are details on Trump's convenient David Duke amnesia

• Duke ran for governor of Louisiana in 1991 as a Republican, and Trump said at the time that President George H.W. Bush was right “to come out against” Duke’s campaign. Duke lost but he won a majority of the white vote — which Trump found troubling. “I hate seeing what it (votes for Duke) represents,” Trump said, referring to what he called the “anger vote.”

• In 2000, Trump considered running for the Reform Party presidential nomination but did not run because he said he did not want to be associated with Pat Buchanan, who had left the Republican Party to seek the Reform Party nomination, and David Duke, who supported Buchanan. Trump at the time called Duke “a bigot, a racist, a problem.”

like the Stormy Daniel story, Trump is all over the place, lying / contradicting himself ad nauseum

 

Who?

 

So two Trump quotes denoucing Trump prove me a sheep?

 

hitting the nail on the head !



i'll take the two quotes w nuance/details that i have provided over your one quote w no details any time !

 

So just so we are clear.... the whole point of this thread to say "Look your "SIDE" is just as morally corrupt as our side is too" right?

What a desperate attempt at creating moral equivalency. Good try. Go fish.

 

Everyone knows who Duke is.

 

Here is what the President said when asked about Duke:

Trump: I don’t know any — honestly, I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.

The first 3 sentences (while probably not true) are at least defensible since he uses "believe" and "pretty sure". The last sentence is ridiculous.

 

which has more credibility ?

son, ur all over the place, contradicting yourself in the process.

who do you think you are, DJ Trump ??
