In reply to the discussion: ***Breaking: McConnell to Alabama (R) US Senate Candidate Moore, you must step aside!*** [View all]Saviolo
(3,321 posts)72. My rage at right-wing hypocrisy knows no bounds today.
(x-posted from another thread on the same topic)
A guy with a gun showed up at a pizza place without a basement to investigate far right wing fringe website conspiracy theories of a Clinton/Podesta-run child prostitution ring run out of its (non-existent, remember) basement. People are STILL showing up at Trump election rallies wearing Pizzagate gear for a conspiracy theory that just can't possibly have happened by all the laws of physics. And now Roy Moore has credible accusations of child molestation about him, and what do we get from his backers on the far right?

Meanwhile, Moore is the one who believes that being gay should be illegal in order to protect the children of America. The tired, stale, disgusting right wing trope that homosexual men are pedophiles, when it seems that the most common bond between the most recent high-visibility pedophiles is that they're all right wingers. Roy Moore, Milo Yiannopoulos, Dennis Hastert.
And I 100% guarantee that on Fox tonight, it will be wall-to-wall coverage of Louis CK. They can point to a liberal like Louis CK being a super creep and never have to look into their own backyard of misogyny, harassment, and molestation. I can't even coherently put together all of the strings of hypocrisy coming together on all of this. They'll jump on Hillary for taking Weinstein's money, but dismiss Roy Moore's behaviour as "southern courting customs."
Truly, we live in fact-free times. IOKIYAR might as well be printed on all US bills, at this point.

Do you think McConnell would have said it if Moore wasn't tied in the polls in a red state?
