[The Magistrate]

1. It Is His Best Shot, Sir

Manhood is respected down there....

[Mariana]

7. Not anymore it isn't.

Slavishly sucking up to Trump is what's respected there now.

[The Magistrate]

10. We Will See, Ma'am

I seldom indulge in hope, but in this instance I do. It is a sea-change sort of year, and party primaries are not general elections.

[misanthrope]

15. I've lived here too long to defy her

If the metaphor of being "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" exists then it should be said of most Alabamians they are "born pointing the revolver at their own heads."

[Mariana]

18. I hope you're right, Magistrate.

Senator Jones just barely squeaked by with a win when his opponent was that loathsome, disgusting piece of shit Roy Moore. A lot of the Evangelical Christian voters in Alabama stayed home for that one. I think those Evangelicals will come out for their idol Donald Trump, and when they do, they'll vote Republican down-ticket, too.

[flamingdem]

2. Good job!

[DonaldsRump]

3. Excellent!

Someone from TLP must have worked on this!

[hlthe2b]

4. Good. Given its history, Alabama probably hasn't earned representation from the very decent Jones

But, even given the state's political record and history, they surely don't deserve a cretin as disgusting and unbelievably ignorant as Tuberville.

[misanthrope]

8. Alabamians deserve what they vote for

They have the opportunity to do otherwise and refuse.

[blue neen]

5. Go Doug! Powerful Ad.

I sent him some money this weekend. We all need to get behind Sen. Jones!

[Elwood P Dowd]

6. That describes Tuberville perfectly.

He was a snake oil selling coach that quit on every school he coached. He had one great season - 2004 at Auburn. That's it. Oh, let's not forget the millions he stole from investors. His business partner went to prison, but Tommy somehow weaseled out of it with a couple of million dollars he repaid.

[misanthrope]

13. Great vids here

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Thanks.

They have the sleaze pegged perfectly.

[marble falls]

58. Thats pure gold you turned me onto!

[marble falls]

30. Holy merde! The guys such sleeze it makes campaign ads a snap! GREAT ads from Jones! ...

[Qutzupalotl]

57. That last one...

🔥🔥🔥

[dlk]

29. He was likely a cooperating witness

I distantly knew a couple of “very successful” businessmen where I used to live that got off while their business partners went to jail. (I was friends with their ex-wives...) They traded their knowledge & participation in criminal enterprises for their freedom.

[misanthrope]

44. That is exactly what he did

After stroking some checks.

[dlk]

48. No doubt

[madaboutharry]

9. That is a great commercial.

Not only does it show that Tuberville is a quitter, it shows what an asshole he is.

[crickets]

20. +1

11. K&R

[Maraya1969]

12. Everyone go over to Tommy Tuberville at Twitter and post this ad! And at FB if you are a member!

[BComplex]

14. Now THAT is the kind of ads democrats need to run from now on out!!!

Awesome ad!!

[Sogo]

16. Great ad!

Go Doug!!

Didn't I hear that the race has tightened?

[irisblue]

17. I owe the man. He put the Birmingham Church Bombers in jail, decades later

They killed kids.


Wiki-16th Street Baptist Church bombing

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was a white supremacist terrorist bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on Sunday, September 15, 1963.[1][2][3] Four members of a local Ku Klux Klan chapter planted 19 sticks of dynamite attached to a timing device beneath the steps located on the east side of the church.[4]


Doug Jones wiki-"

16th Street Baptist Church bombing case Edit....more there

Snip-"Jones prosecuted Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr. and Bobby Frank Cherry, two members of the Ku Klux Klan, for their roles in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. The case was reopened the year before Jones was appointed, but did not gain traction until his appointment. A federal grand jury was called in 1998, which caught the attention of Cherry's ex-wife, Willadean Cherry, and led her to call the FBI to give her testimony. Willadean then introduced Jones to family and friends, who reported their own experiences from the time of the bombing. A key piece of evidence was a tape from the time of the bombing in which Blanton said he had plotted with others to make the bomb. Jones was deputized to argue in state court and indicted Blanton and Cherry in 2000.[14][15] Blanton was found guilty in 2001 and Cherry in 2002. Both were sentenced to life in prison. Blanton was up for parole in 2016; Jones spoke against his release, and parole was denied. Cherry died in prison in 2004.[16][17]

21. Great ad!

[kimbutgar]

22. Good for him

Expose Tuberville that he is a repuke operative and a jerk!


I hope the DSCC sends him money!

[Pepsidog]

23. WTF is wrong with Alabama? This joker is killing Jones in polls. Just terrible.

[misanthrope]

24. That question involves a long, long answer

deep into 200-plus years of history and sociology. It's all wrapped up in feudalism, white supremacy and know-nothingism.

[kimbutgar]

26. It's Alabama name recognition and the guys a football coach

I guess it doesn’t matter he is a carpet bagger who only moved to Alabama 18 months ago. Like he really knows the state and the issues the people face I that state. Shame on them for not voting for this extraordinary man Doug Jones.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. They HATE liberals.

I live in the middle of them. I hear it daily. It is very hard to listen to the SHIT every day.

[Tarc]

42. Because Alabama's 3 million white people have only 5 last names among them

[gademocrat7]

25. K&R

[Botany]

27. Hitting Alabama in its football heart

This will sting and it will wound.

[Renew Deal]

28. That's a good ad.

[spanone]

31. I have come to have a lot of respect for Mr. Jones....

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. THAT IS MY SENATOR

and I DAMNED sure want to keep it that way.

[liberalla]

34. Good job! Great ad! I really like Doug Jones and hope Alabama sees his true worth.

I'm with the Magistrate on this, and hoping he pulls it out!

Good luck Doug!

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. K&R

Might as well go down fighting. He has my respect.

[paleotn]

36. If he wins, AL deserves Tuberville....

Throughout his coaching career, he was a piece of shit. Everyone knew he was a piece of shit. And not just for lying repeatedly to student athletes.

[misanthrope]

43. The things those players describe

are a problem everywhere there are boosters and wealthy football programs. Sadly, that doesn't set Tuberville apart from any of the other conference coaches. It's a grimy business.

No excuse, just further illumination.

What did set him apart was his lack of a work ethic. He branded himself a CEO-type coach, which was translation for his tendency to let his assistants put in all the long hours while he ran around glad-handing and cozying up to folks. He always had a smarmy air and the alums whose interests he curried grew tired of his endless prevarication and ceaseless jockeying for more money.

[Initech]

37. He's losing to a fucking football coach. Unbelievable.

This country really sucks sometimes.

[JT45242]

38. That is AWESOME!

Having been in Cincinnati while Tommy T was there, every sportswriter and talk show host talked about how much time he spent golfing rather than working.

He was only there to collect a check with putting in almost no work.

Tommy T is a real dirt bag. Hopefully, Doug Jones can pull this out.

[George II]

39. I don't think Jones is going down. He's in a good spot to win re-election.

[TeamPooka]

40. Gotta call him a carpetbagger.

[mcar]

41. You go, Sen. Jones!

[Midnight Writer]

45. Good for Jones. Showing strength is a winning strategy.

[PatrickforO]

46. To my mind, Alabama is tied with Georgia as the butthole of America.

Please don't take offense if you live in either of those states - I'm just talking about racism, right-wing nut jobs, and gunz.

[misanthrope]

49. How did Mississippi end up in front of Georgia?

Alabama and Mississippi have a long-standing feud about who is 49th and who is 50th.

[PatrickforO]

51. Well, for me, GA took the butthole award when I heard the story of that

small town there that elected a black mayor, and the white city council members wouldn't give the guy the key to his own office.

[TomSlick]

47. Someone in the Army told me,

When faced with certain destruction, the only recourse is an act of defiance.

If you have nothing to loose, take your best shot.

[Music Man]

50. C'mon, Doug, you can do it.

Jones has established himself as a man of great integrity. Despite being from Alabama, he has not become a Republican-lite, like Joe Manchin has sometimes operated in West Virginia. Jones has been unapologetic about who he is.

This would be a glorious win.

[treestar]

52. They are running a friggin' football coach?

[Wednesdays]

53. Alabama, you know

Football is religion in the Bible Belt.

[greenjar_01]

54. Respect to Doug Jones

Give 'em hell.

[NNadir]

55. I hope he doesn't go "down" swinging...

...I'd like to see a knockout with him as the last man standing.

In times as weird as these, anything is possible.

Everything I know of him is that he's a good and decent man.

Good and decent has been a hard sell in some parts of Alabama, but one hopes that good and decent Alabamians will prevail.

[ooky]

56. Is there nobody in Alabama Republicans can find to run for Senate than pedophiles and

morons?
