Here is my take on the whole Joy Reid thing.

Yall can argue among yourselves all you want, I will at the very least give it some time until the evidence comes out concerning either way, like maybe waiting to see what the effbeeye has to say first. Have fun!!!!!!

1. Yeah but some right-wing source is all upset, so of course I need to post it because reasons.

I like yr post. Also interested in what the fBI makes of this.

2. Thanks!

3. Some of us will never learn. The right uses us to weaken our chances.

By “waiting” you are playing into their hand.

We need to support our people not turn on them. Don’t let yourself be played like you are doing.

But then who is being played and who is the player?

4. OMG.

Yes, I am not supporting our people, I said that clearly. Give me a break. Go somewhere else.

5. OMG "let's wait for the FBI"

[Eko]

7. Yes, I said that.

In what way does that mean I don't support her?

6. If somebody lies about being homophobic, they aren't my people

If she did write them and admitted it, sure the comments were dumb, but it would blow over. But if she's lying about it, that's a different thing. It's harder to convince me that she's changed.

8. If someone falsifies evidence to accuse another of being homophobic, they aren't my people

More likely, given who's pushing this narrative.

9. Here's My Take

All I know of Joy Ann Reid is that she is intelligent, articulate, thorough, truth-telling, and a force to be reckoned with when interviewing.

I did not know about her way back when. Nobody here knew me way back when so how do we know that I'm good enough now? Well, you're just going to have to judge me on my posts here. I wouldn't like it if somebody accused me of not supporting Obama enough in 2008 or calling a favored politician a nasty name in 2006.

Just like I do my damnedest not to fall for reichwing propaganda, I rely on my own eyes, experience, intelligence, etc., to judge a person. We get pissed off when someone talks shit about Hillary Clinton, for example, because they decided that she said or did something they didn't like. So let's not treat Joy (all my favorite MSNBC people are first name only in my house) like the reichwing does.
