AND so much spineless weasels on the right!!
The corrupt media is silent regarding the corrupt politics from the Left. That’s the story of the year IMHO.
Good information for the evangelical virtue signalers who helped to defeat Moore.
Yawn. Wake me up when something is ever done about it.
Ultimately, it was the Republican voters of AL who were conned by the leftists.
I read the article but didn’t read any information about a false story targeted at Roy Moore.
So much corruption on the left!
Left? Have you heard a peep about this from the GOPe? The corruption is bipartisan here. I suppose since the “Republican” Party establishment openly campaigned for DEMOCRAT Doug Jones they just want the whole story to go away.
I hope Moore sues everybody. Discovery will be very interesting.
After 2 years of relentless caterwauling, the left has determined that interfering with our elections via Facebook posts or buying advertisement for the opposition is a high crime worthy of extreme punishment. Lock them hypocrites up!
So they started an organization to promote an issue of prohibition in Alabama and wanted to link Roy Moore with supporting it? Is that what they are saying because I’m a little confused here.
No where in the article does it say that these two Obama advisors were behind all of the women coming out saying Roy Moore sexually harassed/molested them when they were young girls. No where in the article does it even mention all of these women that came forward. Lets not delude ourselves, that’s what sunk Roy Moore’s campaign.
The 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan SCOTUS decision held that politicians and even judges have a huge burden to meet in order to sue for libel. That decision was unanimous, and if presented with the same facts today SCOTUS would not - and should not - overturn it.But.
Viewed from the history of “bias in the media” controversy over the past half century, the case which evoked the Sullivan decision looks quaint. Mr. Sullivan was a Democrat - a Southern Democrat. In 1964 his political persuasion was in bad odor with the national Democrat Party and the Republican Party. Southern Democrats have died off, and the dominant party in the south in modern times is the Republican Party. A further idiosyncrasy in the case is the fact that Mr. Sullivan’s complaint was not about editorial content but about an advertisement.
Three concurring justices wanted to go even further, none expressed objections. A politically unpopular plaintiff made an obvious target for the Warren Court then sitting, and the result was perhaps less temperate than might have otherwise have been expected. IMHO it was a “perfect storm.”
But if I admit that the same facts would have to evoke the same decision, that does not mean that I think that the decision is good law. The reason is that the past half-century has crystallized facts which could, and should, have been known in 1964 - but which were not raised at all in Sullivan. In 1964 Senator Barry Goldwater lost a landslide to President Lyndon Johnson, and it seemed quaint when Senator Goldwater complained about “the referees.” He was referring to what is now referred to as “the media.”
The Warren Court did not have a history of controversy over journalism as an integral part of the national dialogue as we know it today. That only came into focus during and in the aftermath of the Vietnam War; I confess that I became truly conscious and convinced of “bias in the media” during the Carter Administration. The 800 pound gorilla in the room, utterly remarked in Sullivan because not raised by Mr. Sullivan, is the fact that a ruling making it hard to sue for libel affects Republicans - who are libeled mercilessly - and does not affect Democrats at all. Because Democrats are never libeled. It simply doesn’t happen.
The Sullivan decision fully vindicates the black letter of the First Amendment, which is good. But ironically it defeats the intent of the First Amendment utterly. Because the situation feared by the Antifederalists has come to pass, not in violation of the First Amendment but cynically under the cover of the First Amendment. The Antifederalists wanted - all voters wanted - free and open debate (in person and in print) over public policy (and religion). Accordingly the First Amendment tells the government to butt out, and not control that debate.
But the advent of electronic communication has precipitated a situation in which journalists systematically go along and get along with each other. And the Democrat Party systematically goes along and gets along with journalism. And since the Democrat Party is the party of big government, the effect of unified journalism joined at the hip to the Democrat Party is very, very, similar to what the First Amendment sought to prevent.
What then can be done? The problem is caused by journalism functioning as a trust, and the solution is to sue journalism under antitrust legislation.
Roy Moore is suing for libel, but he needs to sue on antitrust grounds as well.
I’d like to know if there is any connection between HRC and Doug Jones. Both used some of the same methods.
And don't get me started on Sessions. Comey testified that they all knew Sessions would recuse at least two weeks before he did!!!
How did the DOJ leadership know Sessions would recuse so far in advance??? Because he was part of "The Insurance Policy" plan.
The Democrats - we are the most corrupt organization on the world. Support us, OH ELSE.
As the story mentioned...here was a good candidate who went for years with no hint of corruption, & then all of a sudden they dig up this garbage on him. You have to look at the people who do this stuff in comparison to what is actually known about the candidate in question. Roy Moore was & still is to my thinking the logical candidate for that office,but not living in Alabama of course I could not vote on it. I would hope he might run again & if possible, put those to shame who shamed him. This isn’t the first example of this kind of corruption,but most of those who we elect tend to participate in it or look the other way. In the end they will pay for their crimes, but some of us wish that time would come sooner rather than later before it’s almost a forgotten story.
Mitch McConnell’s War Machine destroyed him. Will Rush admit that?
With everyone against him, he still almost won.
