[madaboutharry]

Kayla Moore is obviously an idiot.

[Takket]

[demtenjeep]

2. her best friend I'm sure

wink wink

[nolabear]

3. Oh well then...

[bullwinkle428]

4. Don't you just love when the right ignorant racist mofos find each other?

[BigmanPigman]

5. I heard someone from AL actually say "prevert"

like Archie Bunker from All In The Family. Who are these people? What century am I living in? Really...PREEEVERT!?

[longship]

8. That malaprop predates Archie Bunker.

Witness, Stanley Kubrick's direction of Col. Bat Guano (played by Keenan Wynn) with Peter Sellers as Exec Ofc Lionel Mandrake.

One of the best films ever made.

My best to you.


On edit: not sure if this clip has the line.

Yup! That's it. "Preversions"!

Keenan Wynn plays it dead pan all the way.

A great scene!

[BigmanPigman]

12. I gave my copy to a friend and never got it back...The FLUORIDE conspiracy is still going on too!

[pangaia]

38. ONE miniature bible, one issue of prophalactics.

Sorry i cant spell it.. but i can spell conundrums..

🤣

[mucifer]

24. I just loved the way she said "Jeeeewwww" made me feel so special.

[longship]

26. They are sicko mother fuckers, all of them.

And the This is a Christian Country rubbish is just that.

[RiverStone]

40. damn right! rec this post

[magicarpet]

46. It was so condescending....

.... yet complimentary and comforting at the same time.

The Moore family's best buddy "Jew" lawyer, (not Jewish lawyer).

What makes me think these folks have a dark complected ceramic lawn jockey with white pants and white shirt with a red vest holding a lantern, some place around by their front door ?

[elleng]

9. Guess you've missed the part about repugs liking ill-educated and church goers.

Heard it from Rove.

We're stuck with it, they've succeeded.

[roamer65]

18. He lost his lesbian daughter due to suicide. Sounds like he is anti-Moore.

He may not pronounce the word right, but his brain is functioning correctly.

He misses his daughter and blames himself for her suicide.

[BigmanPigman]

21. He is definately anti-Moore.

Good dad...

[roamer65]

22. Heres the video. This man is hurting. God be with him.

[MontanaMama]

37. I posted this on another thread

that it is easy to make fun of how this man speaks but he showed up tonight to say NO to Roy Moore and all that he represents. He lost his daughter to suicide and regrets the things he said to her that may have contributed to her taking her own life. He is trying and we should support him. He is working through terrible loss.

[dalton99a]

6. Keep talking, Kayla

[jrthin]

7. I saw that. My jaw is still on the floor. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I saw that, and I am still having trouble believing I heard what I heard.

I'm still sitting here with my mouth hanging open.

[CottonBear]

34. I am astonished. I can't believe she said that. Holy cow.

That was one of the most weird and creepy rants that I've ever witnessed.

OMG.

I'm a native Southerner. I used to have family in Alabama.

Never in my life have I heard or seen anything like that.

[misanthrope]

41. I, too am a native Alabamian

I wish I could say I've never witnessed as much but I could fill volumes with far, far worse I've heard and seen in my lifetime.

[blimablam]

13. Any vid on this?

16. Roy Moore's Wife Says They Aren't Anti-Semites: 'One Of Our Attorneys Is A Jew' (VIDEO)

Roy Moore’s Wife Says They Aren’t Anti-Semites: ‘One Of Our Attorneys Is A Jew’ (VIDEO)
By Cameron Joseph Published December 11, 2017 10:01 pm

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Kayla Moore used the final campaign rally for her husband to fire back against accusations that they hate Jews, black people and women, with an interesting choice of evidence.

“Fake news would tell you that we don’t care for Jews. But I’ll tell you all this because I see you all, I just want to set the record straight while they’re here: One of our attorneys is a Jew,” Kayla Moore said, waving towards the back of the room where reporters were gathered. “We have very close friends who are Jewish.”

The comment came towards the end of a testy and sometimes bizarre rally Monday night where she, her deeply controversial husband, Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, and top allies lashed out at all of their enemies, real and imagined: The multiple women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct towards them when they were teenagers, the “fake news” that covered the women’s claims, the Republican establishment that’s recoiled from Moore since the allegations broke, and the Democrats who are hoping to score a shocking victory against him on Tuesday.

Moore, who’s been missing from the campaign trail for almost a week, admitted he’d gone to Philadelphia “for two and a half days” to see his son play in the Army-Navy football game, while slamming reporters daring to report on his absence. Moore’s campaign had steadily refused to say where he was, insisting he’d been doing private events around the state.

[magicarpet]

47. Among their close circle of important friends....

.... this is all quite normal and expected.

Southern Charm - look at the grin of pride on Judge Roy's face as his idiot wife utters this mouth full of insults with such disdain.

[Egnever]

50. Holy cow is he related to sessions?

They have the same sort of beady eyed look.

[mucifer]

14. I'm sure that got them the alabama Jewish vote. So it's all good.

[CincyDem]

25. Can you even get a minyan in Alabama ? I don't think so...lol. n/t

[elleng]

27. A long history,

tho not sure what's left. Interesting.

'While Jewish traders are known to have been active in Alabama as early as 1757, and a number of Jews lived in Mobile in the 1760s under British rule, it was not until the 1820s that the first permanent Alabama Jewish community was established in Mobile. Abram (Abraham) Mordecai, a Pennsylvania-born Jew who had settled in central Alabama by 1785 and established the state's first cotton gin near Montgomery, was made a key character in Albert James Pickett's History of Alabama (1851), and became a legend in Southern folklore.

The largest antebellum Jewish settlement was in Mobile, where sufficient Jews established themselves to purchase a cemetery in 1841. Previous Jewish graves dating back to 1829 are suitably marked in the oldest, non-sectarian Protestant graveyard in town. Congregation Shaarai Shomayim u-Maskil el Dol was chartered on Jan. 25, 1844. Israel I. Jones (1810–1877), a London Jew who arrived early in the 1830s, was president of the congregation for most of his life; one of his daughters married the well-known New Orleans rabbi, James Koppel Gutheim (1817–1886). An auctioneer and tobacco merchant, Jones was active in politics, served as an alderman, was president of the Mobile Musical Association, and introduced streetcars to Mobile.'>>>

35. Interesting. Thanks.

Mrs. CD is going to Myanmar with our daughter and, as a result, the jewish population will temporarily increase by 10%. That's a tough go.

I was being kind of facetious with the minyan comment but I hadn't realized that the community went so far back. Not sure why I would have the bias that it was established post civil-war. Thanks.

[elleng]

39. You're welcome, and I understand;

I think many of us assume the same thing. Too bad history is taught so badly (if at all.) We do know SOMETHING about the role of cinti in our development!

[GallopingGhost]

15. Wow.

[dhol82]

17. I believe they are talking about the attorney who converted and joined Jews for Jesus

Can’t remember his name. They were discussing it on NPR this afternoon.

[dhol82]

20. Sorry, my bad. Its the attorney for trump

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Sekulow

Don’t know who the one affiliated with Moore might be.

[mucifer]

23. Most Jews don't have a lot of kudos for the "Jews for Jesus" group. I'm sure the republicans

don't understand or care to understand about that.

[moriah]

28. I'm sure there are some differences between...

... more established Messianic Jewish paths, which have often held on to Jewish traditions despite deciding that Christ was the Messiah, and the more recent "Jews for Jesus" movement.

Also, having known many people both of Jewish heritage and people who converted to Judaism, I've encountered more differing opinions than people. Like many rich faiths, they hold room for a wide variety of views to still be accepted as Judaism. Even that perhaps the Messiah has already come. Whatever beliefs they might have about their own personal observance and choices.

[elleng]

31. more differing opinions than people.

[dhol82]

54. Yeah, as long as someone is for Jesus they are A-OK with them

[The empressof all]

19. Clueless

She thought she was helping....

[Bleacher Creature]

29. Is there a term for this kind of racism/anti-Semitism?

I'm talking about situations where a person makes statements that they think are complementary, but clearly discriminatory to anyone with a brain. Trump has been accused of saying similiar things, along the lines of "[t]he only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

30. First thing I thought of was James Watt talking about diversity of his panel...

''a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple.''

[CakeGrrl]

32. Unfortunately, those willing to vote for him at this point

aren't going to be offended by this. They probably don't realize she said anything wrong.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. They're so bigoted they don't even know they're bigots.

"But some of our best friends are _________!"

[Wounded Bear]

36. Yeah, well I have a black friend, so there...

Pretty much the same bigoted bullshit.

[DeminPennswoods]

42. Was the lawyer's name

Rabinowicz, Rabinowicz or Rabinowicz?

[Leith]

44. LOL

I wonder if they found their Jewish lawyer the Archie Bunker way: have their son-in-law go through the yellow pages reading out lawyer firm names until he finds one with Jewish partners.

It's how tRump found his accountants.

[edbermac]

43. He will come in handy at your husbands trial.

[TeamPooka]

45. Just one? Yeah, youre anti-Semitic.

[L. Coyote]

48. After tomorrow, the Moore family will need a Jewish therapist ....

Link to tweet

[mnmoderatedem]

49. reminds me of when trump said

"my Black", when pointing out one of his supporters..

He's got DeVos and Haley, couple of women, he's got his Black, Moore has his Jew. Add an Asian and between the two of them, they'll have the complete set of action figurines.

[Rhiannon12866]

51. Calling Archie Bunker!

[OnDoutside]

52. And some other nut said they make good bookeepers too....

These are amazing specimens of what we thought were a bygone age.

[ehrnst]

53. Next: "My hair stylist is gay, so I can't be a homophobe." (nt)

[MoonRiver]

55. Maybe she should have added:

'we pay him a lot of money but won't let him eat off our china.'
