Three Alabama Newspapers Instruct Voters to ‘Reject Roy Moore’ With Front-Page Editorials
Breitbart ^ | 11/19/2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 11/19/2017 2:19:26 PM PST by ForYourChildren

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.

Anyone or any organization that didn’t call for Bill Clinton’s and Ted Kennedy’s removal from office has NO MORAL AUTHORITY whatsoever to talk about Roy Moore.

You did see the article under the Moore editorial? Another love fest about “Punt Bama Punt”.

“Hugh Hewitt seems to think that Strange could resign which would trigger another election....Don’t know if that is the case.”

The governor of AL has said that’s a non-starter, and she’s the one with the say so.

The newspapers have it backward. It should be:

STAND FOR DECENCY: ELECT ROY MOORE!

Killing babies in NOT decent. Vote Moore.

Are these papers receiving the $250,000/day that the Democrats are spending?

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 we’re 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.”

And Clinton’s press secretary Joe Lockhart (during the impeachment and Monica affair, is married to the Editor for Glamour Magazine.

Joe is the Communication Director for the NFL and the landlord for the Obama’s when they moved from the Whitehouse.

It’s a big deep swamp.

Now you understand why GQ picked Colin as Man of the Year. And why the NFL is so liberal now...

HeHE ... funny, how these losers sell their CRAP !
But FEW are buying !

Read this: Check out this little fact from TheCipher From "TigerClaws" : Here's that image and a link to its ORIGINAL source : And here’s one more source:

That's the THIRD Spelling of his assistant.

WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

Check out this little fact from TheCipher Here’s one more source: And here’s a link to a DIFFERENT SPELLING of that name:


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 Court Specialist at State of Alabama Circuit Clerk's Office Cherokee County.
I also get results as a certified public notary located in Sand Rock, AL.
And ... I get results for Delbra Adams in Leesburg , AL. with a lot of A.K.A.s

Yes, stand for decency and elect a Democrat who believes in killing babies coming out of the womb.
