Three Alabama Newspapers Instruct Voters to ‘Reject Roy Moore’ With Front-Page Editorials

In their Sunday editions, three of Alabama’s larger newspapers — Mobile, AL’s Press-Register, The Birmingham News and The Huntsville Times — featured front-page editorials telling voters to “reject Roy Moore” in next month’s U.S. Senate special election.
The three newspapers, all under the Alabama Media Group umbrella, featured the headline at the top of their front pages in block lettering “STAND FOR DECENCY, REJECT ROY MOORE.”
The 1,200-word editorial that accompanied those headlines urged Alabama voters to dismiss what those beyond the state’s borders have to say about the race.
Alabamians have never cared about what the rest of country thinks of them. And we do not expect all the handwringing from national pundits, conservative or liberal, to make much of a difference. This election isn’t about what a late-night comedian may think of Alabama or whether Sean Hannity can sell advertisements; it’s not about Saturday Night Live or Mitch McConnell. It’s not about Breitbart or National Democrats. It is about the moral values of the people of Alabama.
Do not make your voting decision based on who it will affect on a national stage. Vote based on who it will affect in your hometown.
The editorial then warned electing Moore would send “the worst kind of message” on the issue of abuse.

These three newspapers are subsidiaries of Advance Publications, the same parent company of Conde Nast publications that owns Vanity Fair, GQ and Glamour Magazine.
GQ declared Colincancer Krappydick man of the year, Linda Sarsour is Glamour's bitch of the year. These rags make The Daily Worker, the toilet paper the commies used to distribute at the college campus look like The American Spectator.

It did not matter if you were a subscriber or not, at least in my neighborhood. They delivered one to me along with all my neighbors. I have told them repeatedly in the past, when I canceled long ago and they have called me at every home where I have resided since, that I am not interested in their fish wrapper.
Somebody dropped a bundle for this propaganda this morning. The good thing is, in this state, most people went straight to the sports section for Alabama and Auburn football.

Or Ted "The Swimmer's" brothers. Never mind removing statues or renaming buildings named for Confederate figures. There's an airport in NYC, an old stadium in DC as well as many highways, byways, schools, buildings and landmarks that need to be renamed if those championing against sexual harassment had ANY shred of intellectual honesty.

Abuse of minors!
Abuse of minors! Abuse of minors! Where have we heard that before??? I remember! It was back when the Ameralt family was being railroaded on phony child abuse charges, which were generated by aggressive, intimidating interviewing of vulnerable minors - and then it would have been child abuse to let the accused confront their accusers. Judgement first, trial later. Back then there was a craze for recovered memories which were also produced - not recovered, produced - by psychotherapists. From reviews of Memory Warp by Mark Pendergrast found on Amazon:
n the 1990s, a faddish pseudoscience, repressed memory theory, destroyed millions of American families by creating false memories of childhood sexual abuse. At the time, Mark Pendergrast published his widely acclaimed book Victims of Memory, exposing the false nature of the science and counseling techniques that were alienating teenagers and grown children from their families. In Memory Warp, Pendergrast revisits that subject, updating his research and describing where it stands now, in 2017. All notable scientific researchers in the field of memory now agree that repressed-memory theory is misguided and harmful--that the "memories" produced are false, and that those accused--mostly parents and other family members and caregivers--have suffered greatly from false allegations of horrible crimes against their own children. But does that mean that the scourge is now behind us?
Unfortunately, no. The disproven theories of repressed memory continue to resurface throughout Amercan cultural life and, although usually more subtly, in the work of therapists. In this new book, Pendergrast provides a lively social history of our recent past, documenting how this incredible juggernaut of pseudoscience, which caused so much harm, came to be. But more importantly, the book also shows how these misguided theories continue to fester. And how, if we fail to learn from the lurid history of this movement, we may face another outbreak.
I had occasion to research this subject back in the 1990s, and what I learned about the process and the results it produced was horrifying. So what do we have in the Moore case? We have journalists who are, effectively, prosecutors of Judge Moore just as surely as the prosecutors who railroaded Senator Ted Stevens back in 08, when the Democrats won his Alaska seat as part of their sweep to a filibuster-proof 60 vote majority that year. And those journalists did a dragnet operation, interviewing women of a particular age until they found some who had, or could be induced by interview technique to be convinced that they had, memories of abuse by Deputy DA Moore. From nearly four decades ago. And were told that no defense is possible, or even legitimate.
Like the prosecutors who abused Ted Stevens rights in 08, the journalist prosecutors of Judge Moore did what they did in view of turning a Senate seat from Republican to Democrat. That is transparent in the fact that these objective journalists sprung their assault not during the primary when it would have simply affected the decision of who the Republicans would nominate but afterward when the Democrat was the only alternative to the awful Judge Moore.

HeHE ... funny,
how these losers sell their CRAP ! But FEW are buying !
Read this:
ITS A FAKE!
Analyst Says Judge Roy Moore Signature Inside Gloria Allred Accusers Yearbook Was FORGED
The sevens in 1977 to the right of Christmas, are very different from the sevens in the date (12-22-77) above Old Hickory House.
Look at the two versions of the number 7, tweeted Wictor.
12-22-77 and Olde Hickory House were written by a different person, he added.
Next, [Thomas] Wictor points out the R and y in Roy, are not written the same way.
The inflection of the Y is more pronounced in Moore signature as Chief Justice. The R is noticeably longer in the signature of Chief Justice, as well.
During his legal career, Judge Moore became the first full-time Deputy District Attorney in Etowah County, Alabama, and served in this position from 1977 until 1982. In 1984, Judge Moore undertook private practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama, states Moores bio on his campaign website.
The accuser to this day calls him the District Attorney. He was NEVER District attorney. He was DEPUTY DA. DDA, says Wictor. ... "
Check out this little fact from
TheCipher Interesting revelation about the signature in the yearbook and where it probably came from.
Turns out Moore was the judge who ruled against Nelson in her divorce case and the signature is exactly how it was on his ruling - explains the D.A. ( which Nelson has ).
Nelson also said she never had contact with him since the "incident"and failed to mention he was the judge in her divorce case.Roy Moore Attorney Demands Gloria Allred Release Original Yearbook, Contends its a Fraud

Furthermore, after Moore's signature are the initials "D.A.," which Nelson and her attorney say represented were written by Moore because he was district attorney at the time.
But Moore was an assistant district attorney, Jauregui said,
And Moore can't recall ever signing his name with the letters "D.A." after it.
But he had seen it before, Jauregui said, when he was on the bench.
His assistant stamped his signature on papers and then put "D.A." on them, Jauregui said.
That's exactly how the signature appears on the divorce decree that Moore signed, he added.
That's the THIRD Spelling of his assistant.
WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

Judge Moore says he cant remember ever signing his name with DA after it.
But he had seen it before.
You know where he had seen it ?
When he was on the bench, his assistant whose initials are capital D. A. Delbra Adams would stamp his signature on a document and put capital D. A.
Thats exactly how this signature appears on the divorce decree that Judge Moore signed dismissing the divorce action of Beverly Nelson.
"
The more I search those different spellings of the assistant's name, the more I'm inclined to believe it was
Delbra Adams.
I get results for a

I also get results as a

Here's an excerpt from Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show:
The Swamp Demands Conformity
Nov 15, 2017
...
RUSH: Heres Mark in Port Townsend wheres Port Townsend ?
Port Townsend what?
CALLER: Thats a little bit west of Seattle.
RUSH: In Washington.
Okay. Great to have you with us.
How you doing, sir ?
CALLER: Im doing great, sir.
I hope youre doing well yourself.
RUSH: I am under siege today, Mark.
Im under siege.
The Drive-By Media is after me because I dared to point out that Roy Moore used to be a Democrat.
CALLER: Thats why you get paid the big bucks.
Im envious of you.
RUSH: (laughing).
CALLER: So the comment I wanted to make was that as a retired law enforcement officer, Jeff Sessions Im speaking as a retired law enforcement officer
Jeff Sessions says he doesnt see any reason to doubt these girls word.
Well, I see a really good reason.
None of these girls have been put under oath and made a sworn statement under penalty of perjury.
And Gloria Allred should be able to tell you that is the first thing you do when you get a client,
you depose them and you get their statement on the record,
and then you go from there.
And if theyre not willing to make a sworn statement, that sounds really fishy to me.
RUSH: I take it you dont believe the women
or you just dont have enough information yet to make a determination ?
CALLER: You dont have enough information to make a determination,
but speaking as an ex-cop, I find it fishy that nobody has made a sworn statement.
And about that yearbook thing,you know, when I was in uniform at a certain time of year
youd get kids walking up to you all the time wanting you to sign their yearbook.Hey, Officer Mark, sign my yearbook.
And I was only a cop.
Can you imagine how politicians get kids wanting doesnt mean you remember all of them.
RUSH: Hang on.
On the yearbook stuff, folks, for those of you who may not be up to speed on this and I doubt there are very many of you
there are allegations that some of these autographs in yearbooks are forged.
There are conservative blog sites claiming to have evidence by virtue of side-by-side comparison
that somebody other than Judge Moore signed some of these things.
This is the first Ive mentioned that.
Im just reacting to you bringing up the yearbooks.
Youre upset with Jeff Sessions.
Hes the attorney general, and he is going ahead and acknowledging thathe believes witnesses before anybodys been put under oath,
and you think thats a little unprofessional, right ?
CALLER: It sounds to me like hes just trying to tread carefully.
RUSH: Well, look, this is politics.
It has its own court, and its not a court of law.
CALLER: But these girls are making public statements
RUSH: They are women.
They are women.
CALLER: Okay, theyre making public statements impugning somebodys honor.
And somebody with responsibility needs to explain to them,if youre gonna besmirch somebody, you gotta put it on the record.
RUSH: No, you dont.
Only in court.
And this is not in court.
This is in politics.
CALLER: I understand its politics,
but Gloria Allred should know what the law is.
RUSH: Im sure she does.
Thats why shes not in court and is instead on TV.
CALLER: I just want to make that point, Rush.
Thank you.
RUSH: Im glad you called, Mark.
Folks, I have to tell you,Im having a little fun with this.
No, dont misunderstand here,
but hes exactly right, but of course that doesnt theres a whole different inertia and movement now that is taking place in the world of politics,
and there is no room for doubt.
I mean,the guy did it, you dont disbelieve the women.
I mean, thats something you must subscribe to now.The women dont lie,except if youre Juanita Broaddrick,
then of course
thats the point.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I was having fun with the caller and his obvious consternationby confusing what happens in politics with what happens in the law,which is ironic,
because the laws are written by these people.
But what happens thereapparently the law doesnt matter first and foremost.
Find it funny.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Steve in Rochester, Minnesota.
Great to have you with us, sir.
How are you ?
CALLER: Hey, good.
Thanks, Rush. Dittos.
Ive been listening since 1991.
So I was reading through a Fox News story on the various senators,Republican senators and their comments about this whole situation,
and I read read em one after another; there were many.
And I was thinking as I got most of the way through it,this sounds a lot like your media montages, vis-a-vis gravitas,
that I often hear on your show.
The similarities were striking in what they said.
And it was an observation that led me to think thatthis is really a coordinated attack.
And I think that should be the focus, not the he said, she said,
but the fact thatthis guys being attacked by the establishment, big time.
RUSH: Let me put it to you another way in the form of a question.
Interesting observation, by the way, that you,in reading and listening to all of the different people opposing Judge Moore,
theyre all saying the same thing, is that your point ?
Just like when Cheney was mentioned as the potential vice presidential nominee for George W. Bush,
about 85 media people all said,Thats gravitas.
This is to provide gravitas.
They all had that word.
You think the same things happening here with the response to Judge Moore ?
CALLER: Yes.
Exactly.
RUSH: Okay.
So do you think let me just ask you point-blank
do you think that, whether he did it or not, hes being railroaded ?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Interesting.
CALLER: Yep. I think this is a coordinated attack,
and what spurred me to think thiswas your comments yesterday about Mitch McConnell attacking Bannons choice.
And I thoughthow else could you do this ?
Here we are a month away from the election.
RUSH: Let me tell you something.
I dont think theres any doubt here.
When Bannon went public and said thatJudge Moore was the first of many candidates theyre gonna support
in order to oust the Republican leadership,
I dont think theres any question here that McConnells reacting to that.
Let me just ask you this.Have any of you ever,
do you ever remember Mitch McConnell or the Republican leadership ever going after a Democrat
the way theyre going after (interruption)
You dont remember.
You dont remember McConnell ever going after a Democrat the way theyre going after
