I have closely studied Winston County history and have long been proud of my ancestral ties. I wanted to explore whether traditional Republicanism could fully explain how the Old South’s most independent thinkers became Trump zombies willing now to send a plausibly accused pedophile to the Senate rather than a Democrat.

Biased much there Howell?

Wasn't Raines the editor when Jayson Blair was filing his phony news reports? From his apartment in Brooklyn?!

What did Dingy Ditch (he more and more reminds me of Hairy) do to get discharged early from the Army?

“willing now to send a plausibly accused pedophile to the Senate rather than a Democrat.”

Remember when Howell said Bill Clinton’s character didn’t matter? Yea, me too.

I recently drove the back roads from Birmingham for over two hours before I finally found a sign for Roy Moore...

Translation: I got hopelessly lost.

NYT is dreaming of a world where people see Republicans as “hateful bigots,” have Trump Remorse, and will overthrow the Republicans as soon as they can get to a voting booth.

They’ve been dreaming that for a couple of years now.

I understand Soros is giving away a week long cruise in the Caribbean to the news media puke who writes the most negative story about Moore.

This guy has a chance for the prize.

Yes, Howell Raines was/is one of the biggest turds in MSM history. He protected Jayson Blair until the scandal grew too large to resist. Howell Raines represents some of the worst of the liberal MSM.

Plausibly accused...

With manufactured evidence, impossible timelines, and non-corroborated stories...

Whatever you say.

14 years old makes a “pedophile?” Puh-lease. Frank Luntz’ panel included women who said they themselves dated 30 year olds at age 15, and that two grandmas were married at 14. The Mexican age of consent is TWELVE and you don’t see the NYTimes wailing about it.

Blair was the 'official' reason for him being forced out.

In reality, the Ivy Leaguer staff at the New York Times bristled at taking orders from the Alabama educated Raines, Blue Dog Democrat or not...

I’ve driven from Birmingham to North Alabama three times over the past three weeks and I’ve seen LOTS of Judge Roy Moore signs.

Drove to Russellville.
Decatur.
Hanceville.

His signs are all over the place in North Alabama.

He is still contributing to the Times?? I worked at the NY Times in the 1990s in a financial job. My friends and I used to refer to him as “Howell Bigot” because of how he patronized black employees, and this was before the Jayson Blair incident. We could all see it then. I was not surprised when I heard about the Jayson Blair incident. Only surprised that it was reported.

I guess most Alabamians are able to think at least one step further than this guilt-ridden, self-loathing son of the South. His sort are always apologizing and engaging in endless moral preening while doing penance for the land of their birth.

But what many Alabamians who plan to vote for Roy Moore know is that the #1 priority, by a huge margin, is to prevent the senate seat from falling into Dim hands. So, they’ll vote for Moore and hope it works out well, but if it doesn’t, they also know Alabama’s Republican governor would appoint another temporary senator and schedule another special election.

The moral stand to be taken Tuesday is to keep that far left extremist Doug Jones out of the US Senate.

Pathetically childish, not to mention dishonest, i.e. half of it is undoubtedly made up.

To begin with, a pedophile is a person who sexually assaults a pre-pubescent child, not a teenage girl who has begun to menstruate, which the VASTLY OVERWHELMING number of 14- and 15-year-old girls have. Most medically normal girls start during the year that they are 12. This study says that 90% of all US girls are menstruating by 13.75 years of age, with a median age of 12.43 years.

So the media slinging around the word "pedophile" doesn't even line up with the accusations.

It’s all simple, really. The Democrats want a Democrat majority in the Senate, and one of their main tactics is to use false allegations to get what they want.

Gee, I can't imagine why those of us in "flyover country," the nonredeemable "basket of deplorables, the great unwashed bitter clingers, don't trust anything published in the old grey hag.

They have a long, proud history of publishing lies, and supporting communists. After all, to this day they refuse to denounce the reporting of Walter Duranty.

Last time I was in that area we got to go to Looney’s Tavern and see the play about the Free State of Winston. Great fun!

And these are the people that were willing to defy the whole state to stand up for their beliefs.....kinda like Judge Moore.
