If You Refuse to Condemn Predators because of Politics, You’re Disgusting
National Review ^ | November 10, 2017 | by KATHERINE TIMPF

Posted on 11/10/2017 11:47:51 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The allegations against Roy Moore are disgusting — and if you find yourself reluctant to say so because of your politics, then you’re pretty gross, too.

The Leigh Corfman story, reported by the Washington Post, is about so much more than just some older guy having a relationship with some younger girl. That, of course, would be bad enough — many girls haven’t even had their f***ing periods at age 14 — but this is also about a man who abuses his power to prey on the powerless. It’s about a respected district attorney finding a girl in a vulnerable position (waiting with her mother outside of a child-support hearing) and relishing in the opportunity to take advantage of it. It’s a sick story that is all too common, and one that will continue to be common if we refuse to speak out against it.

I believe that Roy Moore was a predator with a penchant for teenage girls. No, not because I’m some p***y-hat-wearing snowflake (as eloquent as that argument is) but because of logic. As my colleague David French notes, there are a lot of reasons to believe these allegations: There are multiple accusers. These women didn’t come to the press seeking attention, they simply answered the questions when the press came to them. They have witnesses corroborating their stories. Finally, the woman with the most serious allegations, Leigh Corfman, voted for Donald Trump in 2016 — making the political-hit-job storyline laughable at best.

If you think there’s no way you know anyone personally who has been through something like this; you’re wrong again, and it’s time for people on all political sides to recognize reality: These men are everywhere, so are their victims, and those victims aren’t talking points for your partisan-hack gotcha tweets. They’re people.

Kat Timpf is definitely an idiot and should start brushing her teeth with Lysol along with increasing her vocabulary.

There are multiple accusers.

One of the "accusations" was of a man taking out an 18 year old WOMAN and getting her wine when the drinking age was ... 19. He might have kissed her, too.

You take stuff like that and combine it with the one truly serious accusation, and make it sound like a mania. Most guys with a mania don't stop. Only, we can't find an accusation less than 35 years old. This is a crap, and David French, Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Mitt Romney continue to show they are enemies of America, as they want a proud baby-killer representing Alabama because Judge Moore isn't one of them. He's one of us.

The accusations are gross, but are they true?

I take anything the Washington Post has to say absolutely untrustworthy.. particularly if it involves someone outside the elites.

The desperation stench out of DC by the elites on both sides of the aisle is foul indeed..... They spent 30 Million to take him out during the primary and failed... now ‘suddenly’ this pops up??? I say follow the money.....

No pictures, no video, no audio = Didn’t Happen.

Made up bullshit to try and thwart the will of the people who want him in the Senate.

When this is proven false, people need to go to jail.

I don’t know where you jackasses at NR live but I live in America where you’re innocent until proven guilty.

Not according to the NR's favorite GOPer sh¡t romney:

Innocent until proven guilty is for criminal convictions, not elections. I believe Leigh Corfman. Her account is too serious to ignore. Moore is unfit for office and should step aside.

This is such a high value case for the establishment, there’s no telling how extensive their preparation was for these false allegations.

The conspirators here went to great lengths to make the story look real.

Righteously demanding that Judge Moore step down, based on events alleged to have occurred nearly four decades ago but never previously ventilated, pursued or even now substantiated, seems to be a currently acceptable species of virtue signaling. I dissent.

Three reasons not to read this claptrap:

One, National Review.

Two, "....my colleague, David French....".

Three, this woman just assumes Moore is guilty without any evidence presented.

Innuendo, unsubstantiated allegations almost 40 years ago without any proof offered, is called character assassination, not sexual abuse.

My mother was 14 years older than my dad....for all of the 55 years they were married. Was she some kind of predator or is this just a recent phenomenon?

The allegations against Roy Moore are disgusting...

Agreed, and if they could be proven to be true, I would condemn Moore for his actions.

But these allegations come at a time too convenient, and the outcry too consistent, for this to be coincidence. This has all the makings of a smear job, including the ramblings of this 'useful idiot' author.

I find the National Review disgusting.

If you use your reportorial power to influence national elections with innuendo and mis-reporting about events form 38 years ago, never tried in a court of law. The publication is disgusting.
