Were Bill Clinton’s defenders “moral”?

Crazy leftist alert!

Conservatives don’t “do” tribes, Eugene. Your types do.

This is rich. Liberals have bolstered tribalism in the segments of the electorate that they get votes from. Tribalism is a key feature in the subsets of the electorate they count on.

They are pulling out all the stops to prevent Moore from being elected. The left and GOPe don’t fight this hard against jihadists. That is very telling. Moore scares the crap out of them.

Isn’t this liberal idiot devoted to his liberal political tribe? He’s going to lecture us about identity politics? Really? And liberals tend not to ascribe to morality and to values, because they worship some amorphous concept of tolerance. Against that backdrop he’s going to lecture about morals?

Tribal behaviour? As in black or ‘African-American’ tribalism?

I would have voted for someone else in the primary....but there’s no honor in voting for a Democrat.

“Alabama’s three major newspapers ran rare front-page editorials Sunday imploring voters not to send this unworthy man to Washington. “

They love repeating this without pointing out that they’re the same paper just different headers for the appropriate city in which they are distributed. Their editorials are why ithey are about to go out of business.

Alabama’s three major newspapers ran rare front-page editorials Sunday.

And who are these "editorial writers?"

abc

The Birmingham News (al.com) 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 extreme leftists and 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 lesbians 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.

Interesting to see the reaction were Moore to write a column suggesting Robinson belonged to a ‘tribe’.

Well WE know the answer to that one....

See earlier where Koch Bros buying ‘Time Mag(?) or Newsweek’ - doesn’t really matter which yet for Soros to interject into every LIB race or Brazos to get big Govt Contract then buy Washington Post completely normal IN THEIR EYES...

Yeah, beware the name Robinson if not preceded by Jim, John, or Mrs.
