Remember "Our Lawyer is a Jew" by Roy Moore's wife?

[brooklynite]

Roy Moore's Jewish lawyer voted for Doug Jones, raised money for his campaign

The Jewish attorney that Roy Moore's wife touted employing in an attempt to fight off claims of anti-semitism is actually a longtime friend and supporter of Senator-elect Doug Jones, who defeated Moore last month.

Richard Jaffe is an Alabama defense attorney hired by the Moores to defend their son, Caleb Moore, against drug charges in 2016.

Jaffe told the Washington Examiner he has been close personal friends with Doug Jones for over 30 years and he both contributed to, and raised money for, his campaign.

The Birmingham based lawyer walked alongside Jones as he took center stage to deliver his acceptance speech and plans to be in the DC Senate gallery on Wednesday as Jones is sworn in.

1. Oh! That's gonna leave a mark!

Should have kept your redneck trap shut, there, lady...

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Effectively saying, "We couldn't place our trust and faith in a Christian defense attorney for our son."

[monmouth4]

2. She soooo wanted to be a Senator's wife..Oh well..nt

[Corvo Bianco]

3. Oh my goodness that's hilarious

[Blue_true]

5. Yeah, that Gita big LOL from me too.

Like the Moore idiots could not figure that out. Alabama dodged a bullet.

[Iggo]

29. We all dodged a bullet.

He was a shoo-in before we found out he fucks children.

[Blue_true]

34. Yep. And think, so called Christians still voted overwhelmingly for him.

There are a lot of true Christians, I personally know a lot of people that are true Christians. But no one who voted for Moore is a Christian, even if he did not have a propensity for banging young teens, so much about him was wrong and evil.

[Iggo]

35. They're all true christians from where I sit. (n/t)

[Blue_true]

37. I suggest that you stop at a homeless shelter

Or talk to a staffer at the YMCA or YWCA. Or if you see homeless people getting fed and given warm clothes in a local park, stop and talk to the people that are providing the services, talk to them about their faith and what is important to them, you may come away with a new perspective. By no means am I a Christian, but I do respect the ones that are true to the best claims of Christianity, that group does not include anyone that would support a person like Roy Moore.

[Iggo]

38. And I suggest you read up on the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

[Blue_true]

39. Ok, I will read what you suggested. Will you try what I suggested? nt

[Blue_true]

40. Ok, I read what you suggested that I read and got the gist of your argument.

As a Warm Deist, I never presuppose that other people's beliefs are invalid unless their DEEDS show me that they are hypocrites. You take the position seemingly out of hand that the beliefs of even real Christians are invalid because they believe something that YOU believe is not true, what a condescending and arrogant state of mind. I don't know if there was or was not a person named Jesus, such knowledge is beyond my comprehension as an earth bound being. What I do know and do see is that nature seems vast and complex, too vast and complex to have been the product of chance. A deist goes through a lifelong search for the image of God. Recently an object passed through our solar system that defied ALL the scientific laws that define how objects move within our solar system and Galaxy, should Christians use that to say that science is invalid? Fake Christians will, but true Christians seem to respect science while also believing that there are things that science does not and can not describe.

25. It is so funny!

4. "One of our attorneys is a Joooo"

Oy vey

24. Thank you for the link..outstanding post..she is truly....."Oy Vey" now "Oy Vey" is yiddish..

Last edited Tue Jan 2, 2018, 08:13 PM - Edit history (1)

Yiddish was/is the language of European Jewish people who migrated to the U.S.A. Still spoken by some, very few..but we are trying to keep that language alive.
In Jewish neighborhoods in large cities, 1900 - 1940.. that was the language spoken, and my grandparents spoke it.

Oy Vey..............definition:


exclamation
exclamation: oy vey; exclamation:

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,indicating dismay or grief................. (brackets mine:...similar to ..."Oh My"...)

[leftynyc]

32. They still speak it in very

religious Jewish communities - especially in Israel. Hebrew is considered only for prayer by the very religious. My own family spoke it when they wanted to speak in front of the "kinder" without us understanding.

[Stuart G]

41. Yep a moment of history..my aunt and mother did exactly the same thing.

Spoke in Yiddish when they didn't want us, the children, to know what they were saying..Oy Vey!

[leftynyc]

42. My grandmother (may she rest in peace)

used to teach Yiddish and head up Yiddish book clubs until she died at 92. I used to have to get her the books here in NYC as they were so hard to find (this was long before Amazon). Even that book store has closed down. But I noticed all the yiddish when I was in Mea Sharim in Jerusalem.

[left-of-center2012]

6. Imagine if the lawyer were African-American

What would Moore's wife have said?

[brooklynite]

14. Oh, you missed that part?

Before announcing “our Lawyer is a Jew”, they announced that Roy Moore had hired the “FIRST BLACK MARSHALL AT THE SUPREME COURT”.

[annabanana]

18. probably

"nigra"

[jmowreader]

7. The best part of that whole debacle...

If "one of our lawyers is a Jew," how many attorneys do they have?

[ProudLib72]

8. At least four

Their son Caleb has "the Jew". Roy has one. His wife has one. And now even Sassy has one. Says Roy touched her inappropriately.

[BBG]

9. Neigh, say it aint so

Nt

[ProudLib72]

13. It's true!

And we will soon see Roy trotted off in handcuffs. No more fillies for him!

[SpankMe]

10. Washington Examiner has a rightward bias

I'm skeptical of their articles' "fake news" potential. On the whole, they're pretty factual. But, I'd like to see this in WaPo or NYT.

[leftynyc]

33. How about CNN

Is that enough?

[iluvtennis]

11. Will be so happy when Doug Jones is sworn in so Roy Moore can go out to the pasture.

[jmowreader]

15. Roy Moore will probably attend the swearing-in ceremony

Right afterwards...

"This swearin'-in ceremony is illegitimate! The vice president didn't say 'If anyone has any reason why this swearin'-in should not take place, speak now or forever hold yer peace.'"

(Doug Jones whacks Roy Moore upside his empty melon head...)

"It's a Senatorial swearin'-in ceremony, you dumbass. It's not a wedding and even then it wouldn't count because who the hell would marry you anyway? Grow the hell up, already."

[MyOwnPeace]

31. Not quite right...........

Judge Roy would have said, "....forever hold your piece" and been packing his holster and 6-shooter and ridden off into the sunset!

[FSogol]

12. Conan O'Brien gave Kayla Moore a do-over.

[appalachiablue]

28. Actress nailed it, the accent, bad hair roots, manner- whole package!

[DoctorJoJo]

16. Too Priceless!

Moore's wife is the very epitome of an Alabama cracker/goober wannabee. She wanted that "Senator's Wife" slot so badly, but she ended up being the laughing stock of a nation instead. Maybe there IS a God, after all!

[appalachiablue]

27. An awful, vulgar caricature-stereotype but proud and oblivious.

[annabanana]

17. There seems to be a WHOLE BUNCH of people who ought to

"get out more"..

or go farther when they do...

or pick up a damn book . .

Such gross insularity isn't fit to run a nation.

[TheBlackAdder]

19. So, they pushed Christian solidarity aside when their son's ass was on the line for a drug charge.

[NBachers]

21. "We have a Jew working for us!"

[NastyRiffraff]

22. He was their lawyer

but I guess he wasn't their bestest Jew friend. :snicker:

[Stuart G]

23. Anti Semitism?? "Our Lawyer is a Jew"....NOTE: That statement in itself is "anti-semitic" !!!!!!

Every Jewish person who read that, knows that was a "poor choice of words" !!!!

Moore's wife was obviously too stupid to know that..Too insensitive to know that. Not schooled up on Anti-Semitic statements. Not much else to say on this one, except I am very glad Ray Moore lost

[appalachiablue]

26. Bravo Richard Jaffe for being a campaign supporter & longtime friend of Doug Jones!

Vulgar, incredible. Kayla and Roy should have a Reality TV Show. Run it on the Paula Dean, Duck Dynasty channels.

[IronLionZion]

30. Kayla Moore denies antisemitism: 'we have close friends that are Jewish'

[Dem_4_Life]

36. Oh wow that is too funny!
