A prominent right-wing preacher who appeared alongside Senate candidate Roy Moore at a campaign rally just days ago said that Moore dated teen girls because of their “purity” and because when he got back from Vietnam there weren’t any women his age left to date.

Pastor Flip Benham told a local Alabama radio show on Monday that there was nothing wrong with Moore dating teenage girls.

“Judge Roy Moore graduated from West Point and then went on into the service, served in Vietnam and then came back and was in law school. All of the ladies, or many of the ladies that he possibly could have married were not available then, they were already married, maybe, somewhere. So he looked in a different direction and always with the [permission of the] parents of younger ladies. By the way, the lady he’s married to now, Ms. Kayla, was a younger woman,” Benham said on WAPI 99.5 FM Monday evening. “He did that because there is something about a purity of a young woman, there is something that is good, that’s true, that’s straight and he looked for that.”


Moore himself has strenuously denied accusations from multiple women that he made inappropriate sexual advances on them when they were teens — including one who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old and another who says he initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was just 14.

Total and complete shit?

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. That doesn't even suffice. He is inhuman filth

[CatMor]

3. That is disgusting...

I have a 14 year old granddaughter and if a creep like Roy Moore ever came around trying to be with her he would regret the day he tried. They are a bunch of perverts. I can't believe a so called pastor would say such a thing.

[Thrill]

4. So he admits its true?

[rzemanfl]

5. Then married a divorced one with a kid. I have something to "Flip" you pastor. n/t

[riversedge]

7. uga uga. Now his pastors are making up stupid excuses.

[ornotna]

8. Wow

These are some sick people.

[malaise]

9. He he is guilty as charged

Thanks pastor asshole

[RadiationTherapy]

10. Oh, gee, a religious person with a madonna/whore perspective of women!

Here's my surprise face :-|

[Corvo Bianco]

11. And once he's done with them what, they're defiled?

How does that score with Jesus?

[blue neen]

20. Exactly.

Roy Moore has/had a fetish for ruining young ladies' purity, for his own selfish perversion.

I'm thinking Jesus wouldn't think much of what Roy Moore "accomplished".

[Hekate]

12. Why did I immediately think of "Purity Balls"?

[dalton99a]

31. .

[gordianot]

13. It sounds like Moore discussed his motives with this Pastor

It is too bad Moore missed out on the days of Old Testament Justice at the City Gates. Beyond disgusting.

[musette_sf]

15. sounds like one of the repeat offenders on "To Catch A Predator"

who said outright to Chris Hansen, on camera, that he was into little girls because it was "cleanest and purest".

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. Another religious phony

[eissa]

17. If an imam had said this to justify

Muslim men taking child brides, we would all (rightly) be horrified. But it seems a segment of our population thinks it’s perfectly fine if it’s done in the name of Jesus.

[TomSlick]

18. Jesus wept.

[Initech]

19. Seriously, assholes, stop talking. You are only further incriminating yourselves.

21. "Flip Benham was also yelling at the worshipers with a bullhorn. "This is a war in America and we ar

On August 6, 2010, Flip Benham organized a protest at a Bridgeport, Connecticut mosque. About a dozen protesters angrily confronted worshippers outside the mosque. The protesters screamed "Jesus hates Muslims" and "Islam is a lie". One protester shoved a placard at a group of young children leaving the mosque. "Murderers," he shouted. Flip Benham was also yelling at the worshipers with a bullhorn. "This is a war in America and we are taking it to the mosques around the country," he said.[5]

22. He was discharged in 1974 at the age of 27. There were lots of younger unmarried adult women around,

if that were who he wanted

There was then and still is great variety in women of that age group: the claim, that all women were either married or impure, is some bizarre mash-up of a whore-madonna fantasy with the well-known inept lament "The good ones are all taken!"

And it's a really strange excuse for assaulting girls

[Iggo]

23. Yeah. Their purity.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Apparently he liked virgins.

[moondust]

25. C'mon, that's what all the child molesters say.

Please try to be more original, Mr. Holy Shitbag.

[Not Ruth]

26. Has Moore said why, or are these typical Alabamans saying typically stupid crap?

While endlessly entertaining, it is like reading Twitter to find out why the sky is blue.

[left-of-center2012]

27. Moore said he didn't 'date' younger women

??????????

[Blue Owl]

28. Just like the terrorists and their virgin bullshit

n/t

[HAB911]

29. LOL. Oh sweet home Alabama

TOO FUNNY

[Vinca]

30. Pastor Flip was a tad flummoxed when he heard Roy married a divorcee.

Oops - the magic hymen was not intact. The horror of it all!

[magicarpet]

33. Roy had a plastic surgeon repair her hymen......

.... And Roy then considered her a virgin as pure as the driven snow.

[spanone]

32. hey flip, why don't you offer your daughter up to roy?

you fucking idiot. pastor my fucking ass.
