Why Do Republicans Prefer A Pedophile To A Democrat? A Short History Of Demonization

[skews13]

People are appalled Republicans are sticking with accused pedophile Roy Moore, just as they were appalled they voted for admitted molester Donald Trump.

How did the Democratic Party become so toxic to these voters?

The answer?

40 years of relentless demonization of Democrats and liberals, with race at its heart.

Jen Sorenson’s cartoon above tells the story in three panels. (The fourth is the punchline.) Below is a slightly longer version.

• Ronald Reagan began it with coded racism — Philadelphia MS and welfare queens — Democrats are the party of “those people.”
• The “nice” Bush, HW — 41 — jump-started it in 1988 with the advice of Lee Atwater: “You can’t say the n-word, so say your taxes are going to ‘those people.’”
• Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich stirred Atwater’s pot with their “campaign in a box,” telling Republicans always to call Democrats key words like “corrupt," "devour," "greed," "hypocrisy," "liberal," "sick," and "traitor.”
• At the heart of the 8 year jihad against Bill Clinton were Arkansas racists who allied with the more genteel Federalist Society “elves,” who included Kelly-Anne Conway’s husband. Bill Clinton was the late-term-abortion baby-killer champion of “those people,” despite Sister Souljah and welfare reform.
• The Bush campaign (with generous help from Maureen Dowd and her gang of Beltway Heathers) added mockery to demonization, making Al Gore into a caricature of a lying, arrogant braggart.
• 9/11 and the drive to war in Iraq added the “treason” element, as ultimately-correct war opposition was made into aiding and abetting Osama.
• For one election cycle, 2008, the near great depression overcame racism and demonization to elect Barack Obama.
• But immediately afterward, the “Tea Party” — just a new branding of the old Republican coded racism and demonization — fueled the recurrence and metastacizing of the cancers of racism, nativism and demonization.
• Added to this were appeals to the insecurity of the base — “Those condescending coastal elites want to force death panels and socialism down your throat. They’re laughing at you at their fancy colleges in the East and West.”
• In 2016, the Republican cauldron was boiling over with these poisons plus toxic misogyny, and elected the perfect Republican candidate to stir the evil mixture with outright criminal accusations by a criminal candidate.

In 2017, any Democrat is treasonous, corrupt, favors open-borders, wants to give your taxes to minorities, lies, condescends and (gasp) may be an email-using woman.

Ol’ Roy may be a pedophile, but at least he’s not a Democrat.

Roy Moore has not been accused of pedophilia that I'm aware of. Each of the women claiming some sort of inappropriate behavior was an adolescent at the time; at least two of the accusers were old enough that any relationship between them and Moore would have been legal at the time.

It's a bit hypocritical to have an article talking about how Democrats are demonized while demonizing the Republican Moore.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Under no circumstances is Roy Moore a pedophile. Not even close.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Any of you freaks have evidence that Moore is a pedophile?

 

[NYcarbineer]

If Roy Moore were a Democrat, all else being equal, 99% of conservatives would be assuming the accusations against him were true,
and 99% of them would be demanding he get out of the race, and would be excoriating anyone who defended him.

That should be the starting point for every discussion of this topic.

Why the hell are lefties still whining about Rush and Fox when they have ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, Al Jazeera, CNN, The Times, The Times magazine, The Wash. Post, Media Matters and a half a dozen left wing blogs like Huff Post? CBS engaged in a little treason when they used forged documents to influence a presidential election but the crazy angry and incoherent left still pays big bucks to keep Dan Rather in his Hollywood condo. Lefties cited the statute of limitations and laughed it off when a string of credible victims claimed to have been molested and raped by Hillary's husband but they are ready and willing to believe a 40 year old story concerning a republican candidate.

Became a Republican in 1992

Thank God we don't have one of those. That would be bad.

The latest poll now has Moore trailing the Democrat. I would not leap to the conclusion that Moore is now toast,

but the toaster is plugged in and warming up.

He is NOW a republican, has been for 25 years.

What party did he belong to when he was dating teenagers?

 

[blackhawk]

When did an accusation become proof of guilt? Moore might be guilty as sin these accusations might be totally bogus we don't know so maybe everyone should consider resvering judgement unti there is some proof one way or the other.
