Roy Moore Gets the Herman Cain Treatment
American Thinker.com ^ | November 11, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

It was déjà vu all over again as the Washington Post, who has endorsed his opponent in the Alabama Senate race, brought forth 40-year-old sexual molestation accusations against Judge Roy Moore. From Clarence Thomas, to the Duke lacrosse team, to the University of Virginia rape case, to Herman Cain, we have heard such charges before and the rush to judgment that follows.

Moore’s accusers issue the boilerplate caveat that if the charges are true, he should exit the public stage immediately in shame and certainly that is true. Then they quickly throw him under the guilty-as-charged bus that just ran over his presumption of innocence.

It matters not that Judge Roy Moore has been in Alabama politics for decades and his accusers were silent -- silent until he threatened the establishment by being a credible candidate for the U.S. Senate, having dispatched the establishment candidate, Luther Strange, in the Alabama primary. Had Moore lost the primary, it is doubtful these accusations would have surfaced. If he withdraws as his critics urge, his accusers will likely vanish into the woodwork as quickly as the accusers of Herman Cain did, their mission accomplished, after he abandoned his presidential run that was clearly gaining momentum.

In Moore’s case, as with others like his, it's sentence first, trial later. Sen. John McCain, who opposes all things Trump, leading the charge of those grabbing some rope and heading to the nearest tree:

Plus the fact that the one who is making the accusation has made similar accusations against pastors. She is a hot mess

Don’t forget the Clarence Thomas treatment either.

The Herman Cain Treatment? I remeber that and all the FReepers that drew their knives and jumped on that train.

This is NOTHING like what happened to Herman Cain. No one even accused Cain of messing with young teens. The only problem was that apparently Cain had some extramarital dalliances of some kind, and was shamed into stepping down. It was CAIN’S mistake (and I am a Cain fan) not to just mention in a softball interview early on that he’d caused problems in their marriage but that he and his wife are closer than ever, bla bla bla. Done.

This is what worked for Donald Trump. Sean Hannity asked him in one of his early candidacy interviews about his early failed marriages. He immediately claimed responsibility for all the problems and the subject was diffused and OVER. I am sure Herman regrets not doing that when he ran. It would have then been a non issue. Many marriages deal with infidelity and many weather it.

This isn’t a past moment of infidelity, sex with a willing adult. This is accusations that the Judge favored teens when he was in his 30s. Which at the time was legal as long as the girls were 16. The girls he admits knowing we’re over 16. (But for some mysterious reason Moore fudged on his “memories” of the 17 year old girl. I don’t know why the heck he did that.)

Yep - got an email from the RNCC saying "the keys are in your hand" and asking for donations.

Told them that with the latest effort against Judge Moore, they had thrown the keys away and I donate only to those who deserve it - at this time that is President Trump and Judge Roy Moore.

Maybe...

In 2005, Corfman paid a fine for driving a boat without lights.

Well!

Is it possible that Moore “fudged” memory of the 17yo because he doesn’t remember?

No.

And I say that as someone who deals in memory all day (living with mom who has Alzheimer’s). It is not possible to remember back to age 32, remember a friendship with a high school girl, and not remember a romantic (non platonic) interest in her. Impossible.

I remember 12 years ago some young boys I had platonic interest in. My son’s teammates. I cared about how they were doing in school or their sport. Period. I was friends with their parents. I would know DAMN WELL if I went on dates with them or kissed them UGHHHHHHHHHHH. AND SO DOES HE.

He would have been better off NOT lying. Since he remembers his friendship, he remembers they dated. Should have said so. There was nothing legally wrong with them dating, and the dating was chaste with a little kissing.

- sometimes people REALLY ARE horrible monsters -

"Horrible monsters" don't stop at four and then go silent for 40 years.

Was Moore just a young thirtysomething looking for a companion, or was he a predator who couldn't stop?

Why haven't we heard more about this over his entire career? Remember how Anthony Weiner couldn't stop?

Or did Moore simply stop dating once he found his mate?

And the real question - did Moore do ANY of what is being claimed? With Gloria Allred now involved - all credibility is out the window...
