Roy Moore, who is running for U.S. Senate in Tuesdays special election, is facing multiple allegations of child sex abuse. He has largely avoided the campaign trail since these allegations first surfaced.
But on Monday night, the last day before the election, Moore held a rally. It got off to an interesting start.
One of the introductory speakers was Bill Sailing, who said he served with Moore in Vietnam. Sailing told the story of a night he spent with Moore and a third man, who he did not name. According to Sailing it was the third mans last night in Vietnam and the man invited them to a private club in the city to celebrate with a couple of beers.
Moore and Sailing agreed. According to Sailing, they didnt expect there was anything untoward going on at the private club because there were legitimate private clubs in Vietnam. The third man drove them to the club in his Jeep.

(33,643 posts)Obviously, the man had a creed:
"If you, as a Red-Blooded Murkan MAN, can't seduce, all fair and square-like, some starving 13 year old Vietnamese prostitute in her war-torn homeland, for free, ya really don't deserve any. A man's gotta have STANDARDS, ya know? Hell, worse comes to worse, tell her that mama-san ain't livin' through the night anyhow, nor is most of her village! That'll git 'er!"

(22,976 posts)Couple of beers my ass. Based upon Moores history at home, it would seem highly likely that they deliberately went to a brothel that offered up children for sex. Clearly that was the big draw in the first place, as are similar establishments in Asia today.

(1,204 posts)him at arms length. When the very first allegation came out there were some republicans were saying he needed step aside. Even as someone who definitely does not support Moore, I found that a bit premature because there was hardly any information in the public at that time. But now the more we learn about Moore and the more we see certain republicans not supporting him, it makes me really suspect they all know somethings that absolutely confirm what we already heard and maybe worse.

Not before he casts his vote for the big tax theft bonanza. That is all they care about. They are trying to walk a fine line until that time. Lindsey Graham is a good example. Say all the right things against what he is accused of, while not demanding he step aside at present.

(823 posts)I thought from the beginning that Moore may have been introduced to the concept of much younger girls as sex partners while in Viet Nam. The girls/women are smaller than American girls/women and generally look much younger as well. Is it possible that his time in Viet Nam fetishized girls in Moores mind? Just a thought, a weird, creepy thought.

(51,599 posts)It is still a man's world. They make, break and rewrite the rules to suit them. Nice, huh?
I was watching Close Encounters last night and every person (well 99.9%) that was in the scene showing the intelligent, super secret scientists were men. No one seems to see that as odd but as the norm. If they were all women people would notice since THAT would seem odd.
Things never change very much in the long run. I learned from my mother, who was the only working mom in my neighborhood, that we take one step forward and two steps back.

When he goes by himself, the mama-san buzzes him through to the nursery.

(14,174 posts)Maybe because he knew Bill Sailing would never go for it. That he was a conservative pal, but with some sense of decency. So he put on that act for him because he knew that Bill would be appalled and probably tell his fellow soldiers back at the base if he actually admitted that he'd rather stay.
Bet you dollars to donuts that Moore hooked up with his pervert friend again and went another time or times without the "no-fun" Sailing to ruin it all.

(22,670 posts)They talk opening about the times they've gone over there and basically rented a really young woman for a couple of days. "You haven't lived until you've done that. They're not like American women. Anything goes and they treat you like royalty."
True.
I politely decline. Yeah, not my thing. Repulsive to think this is what motivates them sexually.
Then there are the hunters who tell their wives they're going up into the mountains for four days, but really are headed for the Nevada brothels and bars. It's a good ol' boys club for cheaters and not one I could say would be a democrat, they're all conservative to the core repugs. So for all you 'stand by your man' republican women reading this who have contracted something transmitted to you. It wasn't for a toilet seat. Open your eyes.

(1,387 posts)It was difficult for her because the wives were asked to come in for treatment and the doctor she worked for insisted she lie to the women about why they needed to be seen and treated.
Intrestingly, because they were mostly businessmen, my mom assumed they were all republicans.

(70,239 posts)...............They asked the third man to leave with them but he didnt want to. So Sailing and Moore took his Jeep and left him there all night with sex workers, who they agreed were underage. The man returned to base the next morning on the back of a motorcycle, Sailing said with a grin.
Sailing viewed this story as a triumphant example of Moores sterling moral character. Although Sailing hasnt seen Moore in 45 years, he said, Hes the same guy Hes honorable. Hes disciplined. Morally straight. Highly principled.
In other words, hes the kind of guy who might end up at a brothel with underage sex trafficking victims, but only by accident.

It sounds like a line from Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon movies, "Well this one night we'd had a few and ended up at a whorehouse..."
Clark, "Let me stop you there Eddie"
There's nothing else to talk about? They were in a war together, that usually is enough - it's a card not a lot of people can play.
Seriously WTF?!?!?

(9,092 posts)I had accidentally left a big bag of dog food on the bottom shelf of my shopping cart as I was walking to the car and I had not paid for it. I went straight back into the store and paid for the dog food. This proves that all these allegations that I am a shoplifter are untrue.

(182,819 posts)I mean WTF?
There has to be some other story you could get up and speak about for a guy YOU ARE SUPPORTING! Let alone someone with his history.
There isn't one other thing that he could talk about for a guy he served with in a war?

(4,483 posts)The very next sentence from the quoted material:
But according to Sailing, Moore was shocked by what he saw. We shouldnt be here, Im leaving, Moore said, according to Sailing.
They asked the third man to leave with them but he didnt want to. So Sailing and Moore took his Jeep and left him there all night with sex workers, who they agreed were underage. The man returned to base the next morning on the back of a motorcycle, Sailing said with a grin.

How is this helpful to us? And I think slinging fake mud is worse than slinging no mud at all.
Granted, it's a weak defense for a pedophile to talk about one time (maybe *the* one time) he controlled himself. Maybe he doesn't like Asian girls.
