I wouldn't care if she'd owned it and apologised... Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #3
Why do you say that her excuse is "bzarro"? GoCubsGo Apr 2018 #13
Because her blog is in multiple archives with archival timestamps of over a decade ago. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #17
Has Joy herself put out any statements about this? OneGrassRoot Apr 2018 #31
She's made no comments Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #34
I fully recognize you and others are absolutely convinced these are the facts. OneGrassRoot Apr 2018 #37
I was largely indifferent? I knew her from Twitter. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #49
Okay, thank you for the reply. n/t OneGrassRoot Apr 2018 #54

Sadly, that's the point of the MSM rage machine. HenryWallace Apr 2018 #150
Why Are You Pushing So Hard Against Joy? Leith Apr 2018 #73
I dunno, calling something you don't like "fake news" belies your argument, I'd say. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #87
I did a search and that person has a bunch of anti-Joy Reid posts in the last few days. Maraya1969 Apr 2018 #99
Yeah, I Know Leith Apr 2018 #104
Yeah, and? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #105
Just a couple of points: Stonepounder Apr 2018 #122
One of those posts was quoted and linked to from DU in 2007. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #123
Any chance this is a product of the election night DU hack? Were... LAS14 Apr 2018 #235
Yes there's a thread melman Apr 2018 #240
Joy is a POWERFUL voice AGAINST Vladmir Putin, Donald Trump and yes, Bernie Sanders Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #127
Yeah... Leith Apr 2018 #140
I agree with every word you said. But saying it is another thing. Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #141
I Agree Leith Apr 2018 #147
Yeah. Wish it didn't have to be that way, but it IS. calimary Apr 2018 #241
Well, she certainly wasn't until her employer told her to be... HenryWallace Apr 2018 #173
Yep Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #218
So, you have more expertise than the guy with 35 yrs counter-intel exp under his belt TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #149
The claims of Reid's neo-Nazi affiliated "security expert" fell apart under examination Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #154
So, you're denying knowing who Malcolm Nance is? TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #160
I hope she's right about the hacking mvd Apr 2018 #116
I'm sure you're holding your breath waiting for Glen Greenward to apologize. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #142
Greenwald is a scumbag. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #146
But he's one of your sources. Why the double standard? TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #153
He's not one of my sources. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #155
Now you're just being disengeneous, at best. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #161
I only became aware of it because of the DU shitstorm. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #164
Then I would say you're negligent & haven't done your research. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #168
Dude.... HenryWallace Apr 2018 #178
No, it's hasn't. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #180
And there are more.... HenryWallace Apr 2018 #189
The source of the assertions doesn't matter, only their veracity. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #181
The original source's veracity is shit, Joy Reid's is not. That's your problem. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #187
The "original source" is Reid's own blog? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #190
The original source is an anonymous Twitter user. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #192
Nope, the original source is Reid's blog. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #193
If that's your answer, then you really have no clue what a chain of evidence is. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #204
I am quite aware, thanks. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #210
Sadly, your posts indicate otherwise. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #212
Not at all. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #213
The verified provenance of the posts in question goes back no further than Apr 18 of this year TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #222
They're also in the Library of Congress archive. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #223
Do you know where the LoC got their archive? From the Internet Archive. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #224
Probably better than you do? What part of "it's hosted on a separate server" can you not parse? Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #225
And you don't understand data on servers can be copied. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #226
Except, again, one of the supposedly "hacked" posts... Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #227
Which wasn't the same post as the ones "Maz" "discovered". TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #228
Yeah, it was, in fact. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #230
Could the DU post be part of the hack? Did it produce a thread? nt LAS14 Apr 2018 #236
No and yes (n/t) Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #238
I do not care what she said years ago, but if it turns out she is lying about it, Tipperary Apr 2018 #4
Precisely! Though I've yet to see convincing evidence that Joy IS lying about being hacked, so InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #201
