The worst story about Roy Moore, or more specifically his wife, has been written and subsequently posted on the LA Times website by Michael Finnegan. The premise: Kayla Moore said “one of our attorneys is a Jew” in an effort to signal to bigots across Alabama that her husband is also a fellow bigot, so they should come vote for him even if he’s probably a child molester.
Seriously.
Roy Moore’s wife revives bigotry charges against her husband. Was that intentional?
Her election eve comment — “One of our attorneys is a Jew” — became an instant punchline, summing up Republican Roy Moore’s long history of overt bigotry just hours before polls opened in Alabama’s U.S. Senate election.
Whether it was intentional is worthy of debate.
The predictable howls of outrage over Kayla Moore’s prepared remarks fit the deep-rooted tradition in American politics of stoking voter prejudice in the closing hours of a campaign.
It’s a tactic especially fraught in a state where Moore’s political base is not all that different from that of George Wallace, the Alabama governor who championed segregation in the 1960s.
Parallels between Moore and Wallace are all but impossible to avoid.
I’ll admit I didn’t read the whole article. I couldn’t. I made it down just far enough to see where it was going, then skipped down to the bottom to make sure it wasn’t satire. Surely it had to be satire, right? Nobody with an ounce of common sense would think the off-the-cuff mention of her Jewish lawyer was intended to get backwards bigots of Alabama to come out and support her husband.
At a time when the credibility of the media is in doubt (by many more people than just the President and his supporters), a major publication posts this garbage.
If you’re an Alabaman, your suspicions that east and west coast journalists don’t always respect your intelligence may be correct. Finnegan certainly thinks you’re pretty simple-minded. To be fair to my fellow California journalists, most that I know would never make the type of leap the LA Times just made. It’s that asinine.
Important note: I didn’t support Trump and I don’t support Moore. Granted, I didn’t support Hillary and I don’t support Doug Jones, either, but I want to make sure I don’t come across as a shill. I’m truly disturbed by the complete lack of common sense passed of by mainstream media as critical thought.
Kayla Moore made a basic faux pas, and some would argue that she didn’t even do that. One does not have to be a bigot to not be offended in the least bit that she mentioned one of her lawyers is Jewish. One does, however, have to be free of the liberal media echo chamber. Otherwise, anyone who doesn’t align with them ideologically is a potential bigot.
