Moore targets female accusers as critics decry intimidation
The Associated Press ^ | 11/17/2017 | AP

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Ever defiant, Republican Roy Moore's campaign lashed out at the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, declaring "let the battle begin." Women's advocates decried the talk as worn intimidation tactics in a desperate attempt to keep his imperiled Senate bid alive.

Moore ignored mounting calls from Washington Republicans concerned that he may not only lose a seat they were sure to win but also may do significant damage to the party's brand among women nationwide as they prepared for a difficult midterm election season.

Moore's team showed no such concerns Thursday. "You ask me if I believe the girls. No, I don't believe the girls. I believe Judge Moore," Moore strategist Dean Young said. "Let the battle begin. ... Get ready to fight Mitch McConnell. We're going to fight you to the death on this."

Making a woman answer for her bold accusations is now “intimidation.”

You gotta give it to the MSM, they have a narrative for every situation.

Lol. A man fights back and the biased hypocrites cry “intimidation”

Crybabies unworthy to whine about “equality”

Moore is defending himself against obviously false and reckless allegations of rape by Beverly Nelson

He has legal standing and discovery is going to be interesting and informational

Clintons never had this type of attack from AssPress.

Washington Republicans concerned that he may not only lose a seat they were sure to win but also may do significant damage to the party's brand among women nationwide

Charges are piling up against Democrats in Hollywood and in Washington. Verifiable charges. Democrats are obviously guilty as hell.

And Republicans are worried about their brand?

No.

Republicans are worried that President Trump may get an ally in the Senate. Can't have that.

Washington Republicans need to stop playing the Left’s game of poisonous identity politics.

“Moore Targets Accusers”, really Ass-Press? When a mugging victim fights back, is he/she “targeting” his/her attacker? Unreal.

Washington Republicans do not want us electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law.

There has been a 30 year plan to steal the country from the citizens by importing foreigners.
We will not be allowed to elect anyone else who sides with the citizens and the rule of law again.
We stunned them throwing out their Majority Leader, Eric Cantor.
Trump had the wealth and fame to punch through the Bush blockade at the RNC.
They will make sure that “mistake” does not happen again.

It’s all about cementing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) in place.
They desperately do not want US to be able to restore the rule of law and reverse the demographic changes they have instituted through non-enforcement of laws and borders.
They invited 30 million people here to change the country against the will of the citizens and they do not want US sending them home.
They will do whatever it takes to keep US from electing anyone who sides with the citizens and the rule of law.

What they really don’t want is for US to keep our country.

The final amnesty that would cement the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) into place has been sought repeatedly since 2006. They sold us Rubio to get the last one in 2013.
We have been prevented from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law by their control of the RNC and state parties.

The most important thing to the Uniparty is protecting the demographic changes they have made to the country against the will of the citizens.
That’s what drives the NeverTrump, the media and the Democrats hatred of Trump, it is an extension of their hatred of US.

Moore is taking a page right out of the Clinton playbook. Bill does the deed and then Hillary attacks the women. It works.

This Al Franken situation really creates issues for the liberals.

With calls for Moore to step aside, and even some Republicans saying he is not fit for public office, what does that say about Al Franken?? Where are demands for him to resign?

Or are they saying, that liberal Democrats are allowed to get away with sexual harrassment but not Republicans??

I heard someone say that the picture of Al Franken groping the girl could actually be considered a criminal offense itself.

‘Crybabies unworthy to whine about “equality”’

for a group of people who so boldly proclaim their hard won confidence and empowerment, these women certainly seem to need a holding hand a lot...

Everything the left does is projection.

It is hard to even compare the level of intimidation being leveled against Moore with the tiny level of intimidation involved in his defense.

Let's see....

I'm a feminist, and I falsely attack you with lies and innuendo...
...but you can't hit back or defend yourself because I'm a girl, that's misogynistic intimidation, and it's not fair (even if it is the truth)!


Yup, the loonies are running the asylum....

The socialist-democrat-RINO swamp dwellers are scared shitless over the prospect of this guy making his way into the senate.

Good. I want them to be scared shitless.

All of us “deplorables” out here in flyover country have had it up to here with all of the bullshit that congress is generating.

These assholes think that we are all just a bunch of stupid hicks, rubes, hillbillies, crackers, rednecks, knuckle draggers, mouth breathers, homies, and peasants who’s only reason for existing is to be wage slaves for the sole purpose of topping off the government’s coffers.

All I can say is: wrong answer you DC pricks, try again.
