General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Another take re: Joy Reid [View all]yardwork
(61,785 posts)These are my preliminary thoughts as this unfolds:
1. If Joy acutually wrote those blog posts, why didn't people comment at the time, particularly on the post that accused gay people of being child molesters? Even 12 years ago that would have triggered a response.
2. No comments on her blog in response to those inflammatory posts? See above. Seems off, especially since there are lively comments on her other contemporaneous posts.
3. These newly discovered supposed posts of Joy's are more extreme than her comments about Charlie Crist, for which she has already apologized. (Many people, including many gay folk, make fun of Crist for possibly being in the closet. She apologized. Over.)
4. The timing of this is.... suggestive.
5. Glenn Greenwald is pushing this. I have zero respect for him. I don't trust him. His involvement automatically raises my suspicion. Same with Wikileaks.
