Fake 'WaPo' Robocall (w/ 'jew accent") offers to Pay For For "Damaging" Information On Roy Moore

[Amused]

Just listen to the voice on the call. Seriously. This is painfully, obviously the voice of a bigot imitating a Jew.

A pastor in Alabama said he received a voice mail Tuesday from a man falsely claiming to be a reporter with The Washington Post and seeking women “willing to make damaging remarks” about Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore in exchange for money.

The call came days after The Post reported on allegations that Moore initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl nearly four decades ago, sparking calls by leading Republicans for him to abandon his campaign for the U.S. Senate in a special election to be held Dec. 12.

Pastor Al Moore of Creola, Ala., said he received the call on his cellphone a little after 7 a.m. Tuesday from a private number, which he did not answer.

The caller, claiming to be “Bernie Bernstein,” left a 27-second voice mail, which Moore played for local CBS affiliate WKRG.

“I’m a reporter for The Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old, willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5,000 and $7,000,” the caller said in the voice mail.

Now, there is also an anti-semetic slant to this as well.

Impersonating a journalist to smear the entire profession is a nasty enough maneuver on its own. But the Alabama robocall also seems to draw upon the dark motifs of anti-Semitism to accomplish its goal. The fake Bernstein’s nasally, high-pitched voice and forced New York accent evoke anti-Semitic caricatures and stereotypes. (The real Bernstein, for the record, sounds nothing like this.)

There’s a long, ugly history of intertwining anti-Semitism and attacks on media outlets. Historian Victoria Saker Woeste, writing in The Washington Post, described the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a virulent anti-Jewish tract first published in tsarist Russia, as the first modern instance of “fake news.” The pamphlet claimed a cabal of Jewish leaders had taken control of the media as part of a plot for world dominion.

Wasn’t this from weeks ago? Pretty sure this was covered in the Roy Moore thread.

it deserves its own. Evil forces are at work on the gop side of things.

 

[Amused]

Yes it does. And I have a valid excuse. I was in Africa at the time.

On top of this, both MSNBC and the Washinton Post have now had fake accusers trying to give them stories on Moore to try to get false reports in the media in order to disenfranchise the true reports.

Sam Stein had a funny outrage bit on morning Joe where he was mocking this "Jewy Jewstein" tape and it's blatant anti-Semitism.

Republicans, racist, anti Semitic and trolling the media to push a false narrative.

Is anyone shocked??

I thought this thread was going to be new information but alas its not. Shocked? Still shocked from the first time around and how Trumpsters continue to support the GOP no matter what they do.

We should be applauding them. They literally campaigned on doing that, so its one thing they were honest about.

Speaking of the campaign, I'm still waiting for an undocumented immigrant to shoot me in the face per their robocalls.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

As I said in the other thread from the recording I heard they should have called him Jewy Jewstein the thing was so comically dumb

 

[UNCjigga]

I wonder if this robocalls and the failed Project Veritas sting are related...

Modern conservatism is a god damned blight upon humanity at this point.

It would seem that conservatism today means that anything goes as long as its in their favor.

Sorry, my bad on the MSNBC story. That was actually someone trying to pass fake NSA documents of the Trump campaign working with the Russians. I guess I'm fake news now.

Relevant Component:
In July, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told viewers (and fellow journalists) that “somebody for some reason appears to be shopping a fairly convincing fake NSA document that purports to directly implicate somebody from the Trump campaign in working with the Russians on their attack on the election. It is a forgery.”

Ah! OK. I searched for it and couldn't find anything on it. You're not fake news, LOL. You just remembered something incorrectly.

Um. Yeah. They are evil. Have been since they switched from Dems to Republicans in the 60s. Same people. Same evil. Just dumber now.
