49. I saw her one night to say

Sun Sep 15, 2019, 04:32 AM

Sep 2019

a lot against him; so it is no surprise she'd have a guest to say it on. She really hates him. You have to see her talk about him and you can realize it. She and a couple of her guests were really laying it on thick about his reaction to Kamala's ploy. It got high school girl level, they were sneering that he said he thought they were friends and then went on to say "Well, Joe, Kamala is not trying to be your friend, she is running for President" as if Kamala were seriously running and Biden just a little boy crying about a meanie making fun of him. It was not rational, nor adult, nor sophisticated political comment. Biden was and still is way ahead of Harris, so this kind of attitude was strange.

She would not do that to the others because of not having the same hatred for them. She could not stand the sound of Biden's voice, she said, which shows hatred. I can't stand the sound of Orange Maniac's voice, but I would not say that about any Democrat.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Trump goes after Joy Reid this morning and DU promptly joins in with multiple threads trashing her [View all] EffieBlack Sep 2019 OP

Never thought I'd see the day I'd see DU members in lockstep with Donnie. rogue emissary Sep 2019 #1

No one at DU (excluding temporary "trolls" ) is in lockstep with Donnie. That is offensive. hlthe2b Sep 2019 #61

Our criticism of Joy Reid has nothing to do with the reasons why Trump went after her. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #2

Uh-Hunh. Just a coincidence that, after months of her "sniping," today was the day EffieBlack Sep 2019 #4

Today was the day she was pushig the idea that Biden should driop out. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #7

Really? Some here are claiming she's been doing it for weeks EffieBlack Sep 2019 #9

I haven't read all the replies in those threads, but I don't recall seeing any saying highplainsdem Sep 2019 #12

She didn't call for him to drop out today. That was her guest and she rebutted what he said. brush Sep 2019 #27

She allowed her guest to smear Biden at length, and she read from another Biden critic's column highplainsdem Sep 2019 #32

It called being complicit Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #81

I did not watch the show but did see True Blue American Sep 2019 #138

I did watch it. She gave her guest a lot of time to say Biden should drop out and condemn him as highplainsdem Sep 2019 #30

Did she herself say "Biden should drop out?" If not people are being cute with the facts. brush Sep 2019 #33

Absolutly right. Biden's supporters would do well to emulate comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #31

Indeed Joe's supporters are relativly polite and civil, however comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #88

I agree completely. I for one will defend, but will not go low. It doesn't help Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #92

In one breath you imply those critisizing Joy Reid are doing it for the same reason trump did still_one Sep 2019 #8

Ikr? She can't write an OP Cha Sep 2019 #134

I agree, and am disappointed in the OP for making that association with trump still_one Sep 2019 #135
