(54,255 posts)and her homophobic posts went all the way back to at least 2005. They go far belong a simple one off and show a real, sustained homophobic stance over and over. You are trying to muddy the water by turning it into a Bernie-centric argument and also are employing an embrace of dishonesty all because it apparently suits your preferred agenda and your pre-existing biases. I do not roll like that when it comes to journalistic integrity. Reid will always be suspect in my book as she still holds fast to untruth.
You saying you still believe that she was hacked or that it is 'quite plausible' despite overwhelming evidence that she clearly was not tells far more about you than me. The Internet Archive said they were not hacked and the DU February 6th, 2007 post is the dagger in the heart of the lies. There is absolutely nothing complicated about any of it.
this DU post in almost real time from February 2007 makes it obvious that there was no hack

It is a same day post within a few hours of her blog post. This is also one of the posts that Reid said was "fake", that it came from a hack.
Look at the dates of her blog entry and then when the DUer posted it on DU. Same day, and their post was at 2:18 PM
