Were they cousins? We’re talking Alabama, here.
Hands up anyone who thinks Moore stopped being a sexual predator thirty years ago.
That only matters when the sexual predator is one a them Librals, or a Hollywood type.
Moore is a god-fearing Republican, so anytime he grabs a little girl by her privates, it’s acceptable. Plus, she was probably asking for it.
I tried to see how old Mrs Moore is (married in 1985, apparently) - but can’t find anything other than she was a semi-successful beauty pageant participant. She looks younger, but hard to tell how much.
Was going to post a thread on this, checked here first. Wonder where this will fit on the live boy–dead girl–mule spectrum for candidates?
OK, that has to be the absolutely classiest taunt I’ve ever seen. Kudos for that, Ms. Roem.
And for the whole winning the election thing. That too.
Reoublican political consultant Rick Wilson, on Twitter:
"A meaningful % of my party are insisting nothing is real in a carefully research story with four on the record statements from victims.
In related news, a meaningful % of my party believed Hillary Clinton was part of a child cannibalism and sex ring in a pizza restaurant"
OK, per Slate, Mrs Moore is 14 years younger than Roy. Born in '47, married in '85, so he was 38 and she was 24, so he started fishing in a more age appropriate pond.
Falls below the “half his age plus 7” guideline, and that’s already pretty generous for the guy
I love Rick Wilson. He’s a true conservative. I probably wouldn’t agree with him on some issues but he’s a real conservative with class, not a piece of shit Trump apologist, or a cowardly lizard like Jeff Flake or Bob Corker.
Which Republican scandal is he referring to? Four statements from victims doesn’t narrow it down enough.
Besides, Mary was a teenager with an adult hubby when she had Jesus, so whatever Roy did or didn’t do, it’s all good. Or something. Good lawd, I can’t even follow this guy:
The fuck? “A meaning % of my party are insisting nothing is real in a carefully research story?”
More Party before Country. The “Party” I suspect he is referring to is the dumbasses that voted for him. And the only “facts” they or him need is what they want to believe. “FAKE NEWS” Who in the hell are these people? What are they? (rhetorical question).
Go, go, twitter. Give them more characters (rope) in which to hang themselves.
He’s bemoaning the idiocy of the Republican true believers.
Clearer rewrite: *"A significant percentage of my party are insisting nothing is real in a carefully researched story with four on-the-record statements from victims.
Also, a significant percentage of my party believed Hillary Clinton was part of a child cannibalism and sex ring in a pizza restaurant."*
As Rick Kitchen said, Rick Wilson is calling out the hypocrisy and credulity of many of his fellow Republicans. They were happy to swallow absurd Pizzagate rumors discrediting Democrats but reject credible stories discrediting Republicans.
Hannity et al. are spinning the Moore sexual involvement with 16-18 year olds as “Hey, it was consensual!”, as if that makes a thirty-something guy hitting on high schoolers any less pervy.
They are, however, having a harder time reconciling the issue of the victim who was 14 when Moore (aged 32) allegedly engaged in “sexual activity” with her. Some Republicans are already suggesting that maybe Moore ought to stand aside. Yeah, good luck with that one, guys.
I can’t believe they even have to think about this. This is just disgusting. We’re seeing a major, major contrast between how executives in the media and entertainment fields are handling sexual assaults and how the GOP party is. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. There’s a difference between the GOP and Democrats, too. You didn’t see Democrats coming up with tortured explanations on behalf of Anthony Weiner and yet here are the GOP mouthpieces doing just that. It’s unbelievable.
And of course, as Colbert pointed out last night, she was the virgin Mary (but I guess we don’t know if Joseph got all handsy with her - technical virginity may have been a thing back then, also).
Although only the Catholics AFAIK insist on perpetual virginity, so old Joe and Mary may have been getting it on after the whole manger scene.
But don’t you see? A righteous man is being attacked because he succumbed to a teenage temptress. He’s RIGHTEOUS, fer cryin’ out loud! The Bible tells of many righteous men who dallied with whom they should have not (David, Judah, Lot :eek: etc.) so that the LORD could make a point!
Damn, the man was right, what’s the point of parody any more…
Well, Roy Moore’s brother says … “that his brother is being persecuted, in his own words, like Jesus Christ was” … and that the allegations are originating from a Democratic Party hit squad, and that it makes him sad how this must be hurting their 91-y/o mother.
But, is he implying that Jesus was crucified for being a pedo? I mean, after all, Jesus did say suffer the young children to come into me.
