Dirty Robocalls In Alabama Aimed At Framing WaPo Reporters and Jewish People [View all]

I cannot WAIT to see the FEC independent expenditure report that shows who paid for these idiotic robocalls in Alabama.

Unlike the usual dirty Republican bag of dirty tricks like telling people to vote the day after the election, these robocalls are aimed at discrediting the Washington Post.

“Hi, this is Bernie Bernstein, I’m a reporter for The Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5,000 and $7,000 dollars," the message says. "We will not be fully investigating these claims; however, we will make a written report. I can be reached by email at albernstein@washingtonpost.com, thank you.”

Of course, the email bounces, because the only goal is to leave those who receive the message with the impression this is how reporters got their stories on Roy Moore. I know politics can be dirty, but wow, this one really reeks of desperation!
