Roy Moore, Moral Arbiter of All That is Good in This World

You'd think that someone who has his share of publicly identifiable issues concerning outright wackjobbery and an alleged desire to spend some quality time with teenage girls just might learn to keep his mouth shut and let his political surrogates do the talking for him, but then you wouldn't be Roy Moore.

Lucky you if you're not him, though. From Business Insider:

Embattled Republican Senate candidate from Alabama Roy Moore is being accused of anti-Semitism after implying that business mogul and liberal fundraiser George Soros, who is Jewish, is going to hell.

"He's still going to the same place that people who don't recognize God and morality and accept his salvation are going," Moore said Tuesday. "And that's not a good place."

Moore made the comments about Soros while speaking with radio host Bryan Fischer on his local Alabama show, The Ordinary People Society.

Conservative news source The Reagan Battalion tweeted that Moore's statements about Soros were "straight-up anti-Semitism."

Moore also said that Soros's "agenda is sexual in nature" and is "not American culture."

Moore's comments came on the heels of a Breitbart News report alleging that Soros is trying to register felons in Alabama to vote against Moore. While Alabama did recently pass a law allowing felons to vote, there is no evidence to back up Moore's and Breitbart's claims.


Well, then. He just doesn't stop, does he?

Notice that I didn't say stop and think; it's long been a foregone conclusion that Moore - who wears a cowboy hat for many of his photo ops - verbally shoots from the hip all the time even when it's obvious that (A) the gun is still holstered and (B) the only thing he's liable to shoot is his own foot, but that's hardly surprising; in fact, where he's concerned, it's inevitable.

(Helpful hint to Bryan Fischer: You might want to change the name of that show from The Ordinary People Society to something else. See, there's this book with a somewhat similar title and in this case it might hit too close to home. Just a suggestion.)
