Moore targets female accusers as critics decry intimidation
The Associated Press ^ | 11/17/2017 | AP

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Ever defiant, Republican Roy Moore's campaign lashed out at the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, declaring "let the battle begin." Women's advocates decried the talk as worn intimidation tactics in a desperate attempt to keep his imperiled Senate bid alive.

Moore ignored mounting calls from Washington Republicans concerned that he may not only lose a seat they were sure to win but also may do significant damage to the party's brand among women nationwide as they prepared for a difficult midterm election season.

Moore's team showed no such concerns Thursday. "You ask me if I believe the girls. No, I don't believe the girls. I believe Judge Moore," Moore strategist Dean Young said. "Let the battle begin. ... Get ready to fight Mitch McConnell. We're going to fight you to the death on this."

AP must keep a handy file of special words to use in articles about conservatives. Embattled, defiant, desperate, etc., etc., just in the first paragraph. Pure propaganda. Must be so fulfilling to be a tool for the left.

It’s the hypocritical vagina defense that feminism takes when called out.

To me, they simply undermining (or showing the hypocrisy of) feminism. Women need special protection, women don't need to follow the same evidentiary standards as men, a women's emotional harm or state must be considered above that of facts. In sum, women must be protected or have special status - just like children.

What did they call it when Clinton did this?

A vast right-wing conspiracy.

The perverts are getting even with Moore and organized accusers claiming sexual smears because as a democrat he organized protests supporting Bully Billy’s impeachment.

What is the alternative ??
CONCENTRATE ON WHAT THAT WILL BE
ONCE THE PERVERTS TAKE OVER

As several freepers pointed out last night, getting rid of Franken will probably lead to the democratic governor to appoint Keith Ellis to take his place. Having a socialist/communist democrat is bad enough, but to put in a socialist/communist/democrat MUSLIM in, is much worse. Someone said an ethics investigation only covers the time the senator was in office, so how would that work for Franken -— he wasn’t IN office when the assault happened? And how could they do one for Roy Moore? He hasn’t even gotten to the Senate yet.

Isn’t that about right for the Left. Fighting back is intimidation — really. The Fn Left hates it when that happens. How dare someone defend themselves.

Solution: Never look at women. Never speak to them.

Ah, how to be safe. Can't trust them.

Just like the Palestinians. They strike at innocent Israeli civilians over and over. When Israel strikes back, they cower and cry for the TV cameras claiming Israel is guilty of genocide.

The AssPress is as bad as CNN, MSNBC the NY Slimes and the WashingtonCompost.

One of the biggest problems that we face is that virtually every newspaper and local TV Station, no matter how small the market, no matter how conservative the area, no matter how conservative the rest of their coverage might be, all still use AssPress articles on their websites and in their newspapers.

The AssPress has a monopoly that must be crushed.

“may do significant damage to the party’s brand among women nationwide “

I found it difficult to stop laughing after reading this...

What brand?

Republicans are worried that President Trump may get an ally in the Senate. Can't have that.

Exactly.

The Birmingham News has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.

I've met her and she is VERY butch.

Kyle Whitmire is an effete "columnist" there (though he's married) and he's written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John "I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I've got a gay brother" Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbains and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

< What did they call it when Clinton did this? IIRC, they called the women trailer trash. >
Also, while Her Heinous was frantically trying to keep those bimbo eruptions under control the mantra from his supporters was " I'm voting for a president not the Pope." I remember a friend who voted for Clinton say after the election that as far as his messing around as long as he keeps his pants up in the Oval Office, WHO CARES? Yyyeah!

How much damage has Justice Thomas done to the GOP brand? The accusations against Judge Moore are even more laughable.

We’ve got to stop wringing our hands over the press. They’ve been like this for 50 years. They are what they are. Don’t waste a scintilla of energy or words over them.

Judge Moore’s team is taking the correct approach, ignoring the press inequity and declaring war on his attackers and screw the press.

“Officer, arrest that man!”
“For what?”
“Well, he’s defending himself.”
“From what?”
“Uhm, me.”
“How about I just arrest you for attacking him?”
“Police brutality! HELP!!!”
“I hate this job.”

They hope that the man just retreats and doesn’t fight back.
