203. anyone wanna bet that I couldnt hack the wayback machine and edit

Thu Apr 26, 2018, 01:00 PM

Apr 2018

a blog site to add some unflattering posts?

These things are not etched in stone... they are just bits on a disk drive on a computer. Disk drives can be edited.. and done in such a way to leave NO TRACE.

Russian hackers are easily capable of such things.

I've been doing storage systems for computers for 30+ years...

Not saying that this is what happened... perhaps she did write some posts years ago that were not acceptable today. I would also cut her a break because people can evolve. I suspect there are many people who have changed their views on a *lot* of sexual and racial issues.

So unless she posted homophobic stuff in the last, say, 3 years, lets move on.

That's what happens, they all take a rumor story and push it to the top. Was Hannity up there too? George II Apr 2018 #30

They would love to get rid of Joy because she is effective...and Duer's shouldn't help. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #141

Here, here!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #90

Yes, as I said elsewhere here I think we all agree. But it must be REAL homphobia, not... George II Apr 2018 #110

AS a gay man myself, I would like to point out FreeState Apr 2018 #138

Nope you missed what the actual question is and to what that person was referring stevenleser Apr 2018 #186

No one here would dispute that, I'm sure we all agree with your premise. However, for some.... George II Apr 2018 #160

Oh, melman, melman, melman. You're so... consistent! Squinch Apr 2018 #4

Consistently against homophobia melman Apr 2018 #5

Well, no. Not that. Squinch Apr 2018 #7

I'd allege that as well... LanternWaste Apr 2018 #15

Bullshit, you can read the articles themselves and she's not speaking out against LGBTQ uponit7771 Apr 2018 #20

Bullshit. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #65

Abso-fuckin-lutely!! How is this even debatable?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #92

I think everyone here is consistently against homophobia. None others differ. Happily. George II Apr 2018 #33

K and R Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #8

Didn't she apologize last year for this? B2G Apr 2018 #9

Probably because the newly uncovered posts are especially egregious. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #10

That was a different story about which she apologized. That really happened, this probably didn't. George II Apr 2018 #35

I hope for Joy's sake this new story didn't happen... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #95

I will wait too. Tipperary Apr 2018 #116

Don't you know you're not allowed to say that!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #148

What facts? Would you rather see a rightie take her spot because that is what will happen. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #145

That's certainly 1 way of lookin at it; I don't condemn or ridicule you for expressing that opinion. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #152

Thank you...Listen...back in the day, I just wished the gay issue would go away. I was fine with it Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #161

I appreciate your honesty Dems... I guess that's all I'm lookin for from Joy Reid. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #163

Some do dislike her for that reason...and I get angry when people say stuff about people I like... Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #196

There you go AGAIN Dems, being honest, haha!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #198

She's not, they're talking about post that were altered or hacked post apology. uponit7771 Apr 2018 #18

Ah, thanks for this. Just coming in to it now, but that explains it all, R B Garr Apr 2018 #23

Yep. Blue_true Apr 2018 #54

So let me get this straight, the posts were hacked but even if they werent they are not bad? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #171

I was speaking of the post she claimed, not the ones that showed up where ghosting uponit7771 Apr 2018 #173

Gotta love all the denigration of Mueller investigation. Because its embarrassing to admit when bettyellen Apr 2018 #57

Stuff like this is why. Blue_true Apr 2018 #60

We have to insist the press vet all the leading candidates this time. They chose to only bettyellen Apr 2018 #72

Yep. Vetting can't be lopsided this time around, even as some want it to be. nt Blue_true Apr 2018 #87

Yep, that's the actual story here. It's starting early. All folks who don't love Bernie are being stevenleser Apr 2018 #93

Puhhleeease! Gimme a break... you're better than that Steven. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #96

Puhhleese yourself. You know better than that. You can't tell me you don't know whats behind this. stevenleser Apr 2018 #97

You're seriously making this about Bernie?!?! Now, I've heard EVERYTHING!! Just WOW!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #99

It's 100% about Bernie and Reid being against him. That's the motivation behind this accusation. nt stevenleser Apr 2018 #101

Are you really saying Bernie Sanders is behind this? Autumn Apr 2018 #131

I never said Bernie himself was orchestrating this. His supporters, however, have stevenleser Apr 2018 #155

Bernie supporters are prominent media people? I wasn't aware there were any. Autumn Apr 2018 #158

Come back when you accurately address what I wrote. nt stevenleser Apr 2018 #185

Well said. Some folk seem to think Willful Misinterpretation is an effective rhetorical strategy emulatorloo Apr 2018 #192

So true. They do not want to see Bernie vetted or even remotely questioned. R B Garr Apr 2018 #98

Hahahaha... good one!! That was sarcasm, right?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #100

You can try all the gaslighting you want, we are not fooled. nt stevenleser Apr 2018 #102

Ooooh, now it''s "gaslighting"... hmmm, project much?? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #105

Clearly you don't know what gaslighting actually means. nt stevenleser Apr 2018 #107

Truth. Bernie groups are afraid of Joy Reid because she is a competent R B Garr Apr 2018 #103

You can't be serious. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #106

Your attempt at gaslighting might work if we hadn't seen this before many times. nt stevenleser Apr 2018 #108

Ooh theres that word again,"gaslighting." I see youre projecting again; seen THAT before many times! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #111

Exactly. We've seen it already. nt R B Garr Apr 2018 #124

You can't be serious, either. This is not our first rodeo with R B Garr Apr 2018 #122

Are you accusin me of something nefarious? If so, just go ahead and say it... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #127

Oooh, Love it. We have seen this, too. R B Garr Apr 2018 #134

I didn't say you cant say something; just the opposite. I said if by your comment youre accusing me InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #140

Making things personal like this is always a clue. What are you talking R B Garr Apr 2018 #143

There you go again, "a clue"!! Really?!?! Sorry for tryin to have an honest conversation with you. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #146

Honest?? LOL, there is an obvious tactic of making things personal R B Garr Apr 2018 #151

Same to you! Right back atcha! R B Garr Apr 2018 #159

Right, I pray Ried's evidence is dead on ... these people are sick. When I read uponit7771 Apr 2018 #17

Me too, I hope she's being straight with us... no pun intended. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #109

Right, and I wonder why this died here last night and now all of a sudden this afternoon... George II Apr 2018 #38

I'm referring to a lot in the article other than that one quoted paragraph in the post.... George II Apr 2018 #56

Exactly what part "refutes" that conclusion? This would be very easy if you would just state Azathoth Apr 2018 #59

There's a lot in that article that does so. I prefer to trust the conclusions drawn.... George II Apr 2018 #117

You bolster my point. NCTraveler Apr 2018 #120
