The tribe more important than morality? First, no immorality has occurred. Second, the Democrats care NOTHING about morality as exemplified with JFK, Tip O’Neil, Ted Kennedy, Barney Franks, Bill Clinton and a host of other homosexuals who participate in that party. These people all have PhDs in Hypocrisy.

What does Robinson think that Identity Politics is? The stuff he's been proselytizing for how many decades now? The stuff that got Clinton and 0bama elected and nearly gave us the Most Unqualified Candidate In History in the White House last November? The stuff of the great White Privilege libel?

We're used to liberals accusing others of what they're doing, but this one is just a little too rich. Eugene Robinson has come out against tribalism? Well, no, he just doesn't want anyone else to use it.

Upstanding citizens will vote for Judge Moore BECAUSE morality is more important than tribal politics!

No you affirmative action dope, the country is more important than making believe we are fooled by McConnell/Democrat/Media smears of a good man.

All unproven accusations against Moore are from 38+ years ago... when Moore was a democrat.

I guarantee that the writer belongs to groups that are defined by being a member of his tribe.

Hmmm.

What’s more immoral?

Ensuring the continued murder of babies? (ie putting more democrats in power)

Or,

Having in office someone who “may have” tried to date young women?

I’ll go with Moore.

Yeh we mindless, blinded, tribal members stick with Roy Moore because we are inferior to those sanctimonious LIEberals. Never mind the faked Roy Moore signature in the faked crying old red headed Bird’s HS yearbook with Gloriduh AllDread. Get used to Senator Roy Moore there Eugene of leftist tribe.

For the left, the primary moral imperative is political victory. The conservatives have been historically hamstrung by principles and mortality, which is a distinct disadvantage.

It is always interesting that the press and Dems want to help the Republican tribe. They need to look at their own.

Is is appropriation when he uses the word tribe??

Kyle Whitmire isn’t homosexual that I know of. He doesn’t seem gay in person either. But he’s sort of effete in an intellectual way, if that makes sense.

He’s sort of nerdy and bookish. He’s married, and his wife Aldo works for al.com, so their family is completely dependent on al.com to survive.

He’s extremely liberal and leftist, also hates Christians, so to be perfectly honest he’d still attack Judge Moore even if his job didn’t depend on it.

The person who is in charge of news coverage direction is allegedly a lesbian.

I’ve met her and she’s butch. She definitely pings my gaydar.

Since she took over, all three papers have gone into hyperdrive in positive coverage of sodomites.

No “[barf alert]”?

It is good to know what the ultra mentally disturbed left is doing and saying from time to time but I find more than a couple sentences to be detrimental to my own mental health and well being.

Would the wrong doing done 30+ years ago mean a person should vote for a pro-abortion, big government hater of religious belief?

Don’t see it. Even if Moore is guilty, and I don’t think he is.

Isn't there redemption in this world?

We can be redeemed by Jesus Christ but also our life on Earth is meant for us to learn and correct the errors we make when we are younger. We make mistakes, especially when we are young, and if we are decent we see those errors and change ourselves for the better.

I do not believe any of the charges against Judge Moore and it seems that the supposed 14 year old was actually much older, but he became a good, God fearing, man and had lead a pretty impeccable life. A person needs to be able to redeem themselves and not be defined by something they may have done over 40 years ago and with every one of these accusations are total garbage.

Sorry, typo on the new IPhone.

His wife, its Elizabeth and I think she’s the director of social media.

The other columnist who hates Judge Moore is John Archibald. His wife and son both work for al.com, so that’s another family dependent on al.com for their entire livelihood.

But Archibald would hate Judge Moore no matter what, his brother is homosexual and John blames Christians for making life hard for homos.
