Yes it is. Adrahil Apr 2018 #131

She made a mistake falling back on the "I was hacked" excuse. I hope she learned from this. Trust Buster Apr 2018 #5

That's a polite way of excusing her lying. zaj Apr 2018 #32

So whatcha thinking? Adrahil Apr 2018 #33

Let's start with accepting reality instead of burying it zaj Apr 2018 #141

I watched her statement. I thought it was sufficient. Adrahil Apr 2018 #143

We don't need to pile on, but we should have meaningful standards p zaj Apr 2018 #147

Her joke was NOT about her appearance- why is okay to bolster that lie and not accept bettyellen Apr 2018 #150

I'm not bolstering that lie zaj Apr 2018 #151

We should.... zaj Apr 2018 #152

Haberman is doubling down and saying the softball coach joke was also bettyellen Apr 2018 #155

Yes! They absolutely can! FBaggins Apr 2018 #148

First of all, most are not "anti Reid" people. mountain grammy May 2018 #177

The point is of course many of the loudest ANTI Joy voices Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #180

On that point I completely agree. mountain grammy May 2018 #182

I hope people see how problematic that is oberliner Apr 2018 #121

Agreed. nt Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2018 #157

Her words were rediculous and she has evolved. She apologized and by and large Afromania Apr 2018 #13

I think you missed a step there FBaggins Apr 2018 #16

How bad is the entire collection of Republicans for defending trump and all that's going on Afromania Apr 2018 #29

I'm not sure what your point is FBaggins Apr 2018 #31

Sure as shit isn't the purist crap so called Dems spout around election time BoneyardDem Apr 2018 #64

No, it isn't purist crap. Thanks for getting the point even that some folks want to imagine Afromania Apr 2018 #134

What I'm saying, and this is the last reply I'm making, is we can't sit here waiting for saints Afromania Apr 2018 #132

She lied, that's the problem. Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2018 #17

What exactly did she say that was a lie? EffieBlack Apr 2018 #25

She stated she didn't write it and she was hacked. Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2018 #41

Gotcha EffieBlack Apr 2018 #43

Oh it has everything to do with the GOP. Democratic voices don't get the same sidestepping jump Afromania Apr 2018 #26

If a reporter lies, they have broken trust. Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2018 #46

It has everything to do with them, and she's not a reporter she's a talking head that provides Afromania Apr 2018 #52

What if I told you one could both be mad at Reid for lying Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2018 #53

Or didn't remember...but it is over and she is a good person for our side ...or maybe she was Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #92

If she hadn't included the hacking bit it wouldn't have gotten as much attention Blue_Adept Apr 2018 #21

Aren't you sick and tired of.excoriating liberals? Cary Apr 2018 #27

She is great oberliner Apr 2018 #35

We shouldn't be excoriating liberals. Cary Apr 2018 #40

Judging from the posts I have seen, the answer is no. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #93

I find it odd that they think they have every right to excoriate liberals Cary Apr 2018 #167

It really is...sometimes I wonder if they understand we need to fight Republicans Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #172

"dubious claim"? Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2018 #65

Give up. That's exactly what Repubkicans want. Cary Apr 2018 #69

So when Dems told me I was dividing the party when I said I didn't believe Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2018 #73

The argument that you do more harm than good when you attack Democrats is objectively reasonable Cary Apr 2018 #79

It seems weird to many of us why a person would go after a progressive ally like Joy... Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #94

Because she lied. Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2018 #98
