1. I see they have something in common.

we finish it...to our detriment. People aren't perfect. We take the good with the bad. That's what makes educated liberal thinkers exceptional. We understand homelessness, poverty, workers rights etc. We need to start showing some forgiveness and w a warning to that person ,..move on. The circular firing squad needs to stop. This stuff starts from the right often, and we finish it up. Look at how many people the repubs keep on even with huge mistakes. That's how they win. Maybe if Joy said, "I prayed, and Jesus forgave me." People would let up. Like the gop does. We are rudderless in Senate Hearings without the boldness of Al Franken. Whens it going to end? We crucify our best voices. OFTEN. The gop laugh themselves to death when they do this. Please give a little deference to folks. The same deference we ask for when we do stuff that's wrong. Everyday we focus on this, we take the focus off the gop who is dismantling the country. Which is most important?
Amendment...How about we take a moratorium on sacrificing anyone we know as reliable for a few years. REALLY disappointed we lost Al Franken. Gillibrand hasn't the stones he did for asking the tough questions and keeping on people. We need D's elected...across the board. Remember dt will still be president so for two years we need veto proof majorities. However likely or unlikely that'll be. Can we not eat our own young over nuances and marginally upsetting behaviors? Lets focus on the rel problem...repubs. Have a good weekend everyone.

3. Washington Post, New York Times, Mediaite, and PFLAG

You must have missed those.

[The Polack MSgt]

4. Well that certainly balances the scales

Seems Legit

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

5. Regardless.

At the end of the day, how's she doing now? She can be very insightful and is relentless when she has someone in her sights as far as repubs. Who you got in mind to replace her? Nobody is perfect. Isn't that kind of the bedrock of live and let live liberal thinking? Wow. The judgment is brutal on our side...and we're the minority. Were you this rough on offenders who beat up on Obama? Never have you ever had a bad patch in your life or made a post or opinion you regretted? Can we move on?

12. At the end of today, she's skipping a public appearance

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. Also the Atlantic, NYMag, etc.

[struggle4progress]

7. Mediaite was the source of the story. I had already posted regarding PFLAG

here: at the beginning of April, they thought her a hero; after a blitz attack, they decided she wasn't. That suggests an internal struggle between liberals and conservatives there.

[Azathoth]

11. The Atlantic, etc. +1

[workinclasszero]

8. What a set up!

A right wing hit squad and some idiots on the left can't wait to play with them!

[Kirk Lover]

9. Who on the left is joining in with them against Joy? Just "regular" people or ...??? nt

[LiberalFighter]

10. I'm wondering if Putin is behind this via RT?

[ProudLib72]

13. She could shoot someone on 5th st

And I'd still support her.

There, I said it. I'm going into this with the mentality of fighting fire with fire. If the RW preys on our inherent need to be divisive and squabble over purity issues, then I'm taking a page from their playbook.

[TheSmarterDog]

14. IOW the usual suspects.

Conservatives all

[mcar]

15. and people wonder why we are skeptical?

[LexVegas]

16. Supporters of a certain non-Dem also ran. nt
