I thought the New Yorker was dead set against ban lists? I heard that followers of Mohammed pbuh were misogynists and prone to violence. Yet, the New Yorker elites mocked the use of ban lists.

Sometimes, I upset myself.

Ed from SFV (3400a5) — 11/13/2017 @ 8:44 pm

It’s simple. A week ago, if you had called 100 people as reputation witneses, it would have gone like this:
— Are you familiar with Roy Moore’s reputation for good character and moral rectitude?
— Yes, I am.
— And what is that reputation?
— It is very good.

That’s what they’re trying to destroy. That reputation. For character and moral rectitude. Because it is his only strength. He is, at best, just middlin’ as a political leader, lawyer or jurist.

Is Doug Jones more than just middlin’ at anything? Including a reputation for good character and moral rectitude? But this might just be par for the course for him. As U.S. Attorney, he prosecuted a civil rights case 35 years after the event, two years after he had participated in the persecution of Richard Jewell for the Atlanta Olympics bombing.

The New Yorker article is not hearsay. They are not saying whom they heard it from. It’s mostly not even hearsay.

They do have one good source who says there was ban list, but he doesn’t remember him being on it and he’s a long time friend of his (maybe started later, but he still would have known who he was, and people stay on such a list until they are removed.)

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/13/2017 @ 9:48 pm

From @Patterico -> New Yorker Publishes Entire Article About Roy Moore Full of Nothing but Hearsay https://t.co/MDz44EFMho

— Brit Hume (@brithume) November 14, 2017

Patterico (115b1f) — 11/13/2017 @ 9:55 pm

If the story about Roy Moore being banned for bad behavior is a lie, and the New Yorker article seems to have a very good source that indicates that it is; and it had a bunch of sources that claimed to know this was a fact (some of whom claimed to have just found that out, and some of whom claimed to have known that for years) then there is a concerted campaign to create false corroborating evidence for the Leigh Corfman charges.

At the point when elemental verification has not been done, nobody honest and careful can say anything.

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/13/2017 @ 9:57 pm

27. Look, Ted Cruz is saying that Roy Moore should be prosecuted if the allegations are true, which he knows is impossible.

And in the meantime, he says he can’t urge people in Alabama to vote for Moore, unless he can provide a serious persuasive demonstration that the chargss are not true.

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:06 pm

then there is a concerted campaign to create false corroborating evidence for the Leigh Corfman charges

i think this is a sound conclusion Mr. Finkelman

happyfeet (28a91b) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:07 pm

@14. And Roy Moore will undress you with his eyes, Mr. Feet– with your mother’s permission, of course.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:12 pm

Mr. Moore isn’t guilty of anything but being the target of a vicious smear campaign Mr. DCSCA

and the good people of Alabama know it

this is why nevertrump filth in the senate like corrupt closet case Mitch McConnell and sleazy-assed DACA-pig Cory Gardner are already talking about expelling Mr. Moore if he’s elected

happyfeet (28a91b) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:20 pm

31. and of course the Beverly Young Nelson claim could also be false corroborating evidence. Maybe a person normally wouldn’t suspect that, but with all that stuff going on…

There really need to be hundreds of cases for this not to be an organized effort, because none of the first four women supposedly are linked in any way, so they need not just one similar case to Leigh Corfman they need at least half a dozen. Just like they had with Cosby, Weinstein, Spacey etc.

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:25 pm

The idiots are getting ahead of themselves. Let’s get him elected first and then they can expel him and Kay Ivey can appoint Luther Strange again until next November.

nk (dbc370) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:26 pm

But you know what? They’re not going to expel him. Because they’re not post-menopausal trash with nothing to lose that can say anything they want about somebody without consequences.

nk (dbc370) — 11/13/2017 @ 10:29 pm

I think if he’s elected, Gloria Allred could very well get her Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, even if she doesn’t really want it.

A Federal judge in Hawaii just overturned Roy Moore’s Gadsen Mall ban.

Pinandpuller (9a7f02) — 11/13/2017 @ 11:27 pm

@33. ‘Scuse me, sir. Mister Feet?

Lieutenant Columbo, LAPD. I’m sorry to bother you this late but just one more question. It has me kinda puzzled and my boss, the Captain, well– he likes these details all wrapped up before I turn in my report.

See, sir, there’s this high school yearbook. You remember those, dontcha, sir? My wife, she keeps all hers in a bookcase in our bedroom by the TV. All signed by her teachers and classmates, too. She was very popular. But mine– oh, they’re out in the garage some place. Guess Ms. Nelson is a lot like my wife. Popular. Her’s is in great shape, too– and signed. I have it right here.

And you see, sir– oh, does my cigar bother you? I’ll put it out for later. See, in Ms. Nelson’s yearbook– is this is a picture of her from 1977– lovely young girl, wasn’t she, sir– see, there’s this one inscription to her– to Ms. Nelson– that has me puzzled. It’s easy to read, too, isn’t it, sir. Lovely handwriting. Says: “To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Christmas, 1977. Love, Roy Moore DA 12-22-77 Olde Hickory House.”

You know, me and my wife enjoy a good meal at places like the Olde Hickory House. Terrific food! Great service, too. Usually high school girls waitressing for extra money– like Ms. Nelson was. My wife always tries the house special and I order the chili. You can always tell a good restaurant by the taste of their chili, cantcha, sir.

Oh– now about this inscription from 1977. Mister Moore wasn’t in Ms. Nelson’s high school then. Not a student nor a teacher. See, he signed it ‘DA’– we believe that means ‘District Attorney’– he was years out of high school by then. But you see, sir, today Mister Moore said… wait, I have it here in my notes… just a moment… here it is– Mister Moore said, “without hesitation this is absolutely false,” and “I never did what she said I did. I don’t even know the woman. I don’t know anything about her. I don’t even know where the restaurant is or was.”

See my problem, sir?

Why would a man who was a ‘district attorney’ inscribe, sign and date the yearbook of a young high school girl he says he didn’t know with the name of a restaurant she worked at and now says he doesn’t know of or where it was or is? And the lab boys are pretty sure the signatures are a match, too.

Can you explain this, sir? It would be a big help.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/13/2017 @ 11:27 pm

I imagine the yearbook could be analyzed to determine whether the ink in the signature is consistent with being from 1977. Although not conclusive, it could expose a careless forgery.

Also, lie detector tests all around…

Excuse me, LT Genius Detective, but who did he write that note to? Something seems to be missing from an inscription meant for someone he knew. Can you guess what it is, LT Genius Detective? It looks like the kind of thing you’d get at a book signing where you’re not allowed to even talk to some arrogant, b****y author ostensibly so the line will keep moving but really you have to make a five figure contribution to her foundation for her to acknowledge your existence and she just couldn’t give a s**t anyway. “All The Best! Hillary Rodham Clinton.” And I know you’re probably taking Gloria Allred’s client’s word for how much of a regular Moore was at that restaurant, LT Genius Detective, but name all the restaurants you went to once or twice 40 years ago. Go!

Steve57 (0b1dac) — 11/14/2017 @ 2:30 am

Excuse me, LT Genius Detective, but who did he write that note to?

Um, the owner of the yearbook? As I wrote in the other thread, when people signed my yearbooks around the same time (1976-80), they wrote things like “To a great friend…” or “To a guy who…”. It was not typical to write the owner’s name.

AL.COM has done some more reporting, and there are more locals going on the record with the “everybody knew about Roy Moore” theme, and their own personal (not hearsay) experiences:

Gadsden locals say Moore’s predatory behavior at mall, restaurants not a secret

“These stories have been going around this town for 30 years,” said Blake Usry, who grew up in the area and lives in Gadsden. “Nobody could believe they hadn’t come out yet.”

Usry, a traveling nurse, said he knew several of the girls that Moore tried to flirt with.

“It’s not a big secret in this town about Roy Moore,” he said. “That’s why it’s sort of frustrating to watch” the public disbelieve the women who have come forward, he said.
[…]
Usry, who was a teenager at the time, remembers seeing Moore at the mall often.

“He would go and flirt with all the young girls,” he said. “It’d seem like every Friday or Saturday night (you’d see him) walking around the mall, like the kids did.”

I went to high school during the same time frame and when people signed yearbooks it was typical to include the person’s name.

No matter. The point is that it’s going to be hard to prove Moore even knew whose yearbook he was signing. Just like HRC never knows whose book she’s signing. And doesn’t want to know.

Steve57 (0b1dac) — 11/14/2017 @ 4:24 am

“He would go and flirt with all the young girls,” he said. “It’d seem like every Friday or Saturday night (you’d see him) walking around the mall, like the kids did.”

51. happyfeet (28a91b) — 11/13/2017 @ 11:38 pm

yeah that signature has a ridiculous amount of detail on it

Roy Moore was planning on running for political office, probably for the position of District Attorney. He would have wanted people to know his name and who he was, or rather, actually even wasn’t yet.. (More people will vote for you if they think you’re the incumbent.)

All that this long message means is that he had some time. And he knew her.

Now she claims that, shortly after that, he offered to drive her home, but instead drove her around the corner or something, parking his car between the restaurant and a dumpster while the door was locked, and tried to ~~rape~~ sodomize her (the legal term for that)

This is actually the most serious allegation so far. (unless you think age trumps everything other kind of accusation.)

Q. What model car did Roy Moore have then? Could the driver lock the doors from the driver’s seat so that a passenger couldn’t get out? Or even open up the window? (even if so, she could say she thought it was locked, but it wasn’t, and that’s how she got out, or that it’s hard t remember how she got out. She says he let her out, though. Pushed her out, even.)

Where was she sitting? The front passenger seat. Probably not wearing a seat belt, though. Which would have been likely in 1979, so that is consistent with her story. Not wearing a seat belt is a plus.

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/14/2017 @ 9:13 am

The restaurant might have had a different name in the front, or just not gone by that name.

Gadsden is in the northern part of Alabama, near Tennessee, so that might explain the name of the restaurant. At least the name the owner liked.

Sammy Finkelman (8e756e) — 11/14/2017 @ 9:17 am

This Slate article seems to be based on the New Yorker article. I’m noit sure if it adds an extra source:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/11/14/roy_moore_reportedly_known_to_cruise_hometown_mall_for_high_school_girls.html

Teresa Jones, who was a deputy district attorney around the time Moore worked in the district attorney’s office, told CNN “it was common knowledge that Roy dated high-school girls.”

well, that may be true, and the otehr alllegations not true. Ray Moore didn’t even deny it, except to say that he said he didnt focuus on high-school girls. (“not generally”)

It quotes the original Washington Post article as saying that Wendy Miller said he sued to ask her out “in the presence of her mother.” so they are in agreement about that, too.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/14/2017 @ 6:35 pm

Gateway Pundit has two posts about the yearbook note. The first is with regard to the signature, which a handwriting expert compares to an official signature from some document. The claim is made that the signatures are different, based on the letters “R’ and “y” in the first name. I’m NOT an expert, but the “R” looks similar to me and I think that in the official signature what is describes as a “y” with an unusual flourish is instead a “y S” with his middle initial, matching the printed name. So I think the signature mismatch is not evidence against the validity of the signature.

The versions of his last name also look very similar, to me.

The date is listed twice, once as “ Christmas 1977” and once as “12-22-77”. The “7”s look different in the two dates, as though they were written by two different people.

There is also a claim in a second blog post that the note is written in two different ink colors, with all of cursive writing in black and all of the printed letters on the right side in blue ink. I have not done any direct comparison of the RGB values in the image, but there is an apparent difference. (By the way, some of the images are apparently monochromatic, with no color difference visible.)

My guess is that much of the text on the right was added after the fact, possibly by the girl at or near the time of the signature. This would explain why the job description is incorrect, listing him as the “D.A.” Instead of as the “ADA”. This could be as innocent as adding information about when and where an autograph was signed.

You have to examine the originals but speaking as an autograph collector for half a century who doesn’t have a dog in this hunt, there are several visual points which make the two samples- from ’77 and ’17, match well. You have to look at feathering, crossover, stop-start points, looping, slant and stroke among other pattern points. And consider the 40 years difference in time as well- people do change some flourish elements of their signatures over the years not to mention speed and context of when a signature is made. Forinstance, a quick Trump signature on a hat moving through a crowd is going to be a slash and dash as opposed to a steadier signature seated at a desk signing an executive order. But the lower case connectivity and spacing usually remains consistent over time in a larger signature sampling. And there’s the oxidation and composition of inks. To my eye from the web posting and checking on eBay for Roy Moore signature samples, there appears to be a good match. But certainty requires examining the original piece against several samples first hand.

why would they do a bad forgery Mr. DCSCA

the whole point is to trick people into thinking Roy Moore signed honey boo boo’s yearbook

They did in 2004.

The question is, do the people who claim this was photoshopped have a case.

The job description might be incorrect because that is maybe what Roy Moore went around claiming. Now, that’s one thing that can be checked. Did he in fact regularly tell eople he was the D.A.

CNN interviews ex-mall worker from record store on camera verifying he was told by his boss Moore was ‘on a list.’

But did they verify he was really an ex mall worker and in a position to know? Do they have a second mall worker who says so too and can explain it?
