MSNBC Host Joy Reid Wrote Numerous Anti-Gay Articles on Her Old Blog

86. How exactly does this point to collusion between my Senator and Putin?

It seems far more likely that the RW is attacking Reid because she is a strong liberal. Not to mention, it is more significant that she wrote these things in her blogs. The blogs were public. This was not hacking private comments that were not intended to be public.

If anything, I think Reid needs to address the entire issue of repeating rumours - that might have been politically motivated. Imagine that a right leaning media person posted completely uncalled for rumours about Clinton and Huma, would that be ok?

I would suggest that Democrats admit that no one is perfect, Reid was wrong and Reid should address the issue of being to quick too repeat rumours, which could be political smears, without indicating they were rumour. We can take the high ground here. Most of the really outrageous dirty tricks campaigns have been done by the Republicans - from Segretti's dirty tricks in 1972 to Lee Atwater's dirty tricks in 1988 to the SBVT dirty tricks in 2004 - to the cottage industry of creating lists of people the Clintons murdered.

Compared to that list, Reid's blog posts pale, but if you accept it was ok to repeat rumours that Crist was really gay, then why would it be wrong to repeat similar rumours about Hillary Clinton? I think both are despicable. Not to mention, could that have harmed Crist, when he became a Democrat and ran against Rubio?
