In o...> <i>“... stalking and attacking young teens. In other words pedophilia.”</i><br /><br />Uh, no. For instance, see <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pedophilia#Usage_notes" title="Wiktionary - pedophilia - Usage notes" rel="nofollow">Wiktionary</a>:<br /><br />“Many psychologists recommend against using the term <i>pedophilia</i> to denote sexual activities with children, because not all people with a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children (i.e., pedophilia) commit such acts, and child molesters often lack a strong sexual interest in prepubescent children. Furthermore, psychological texts define <i>pedophilia</i> as a primary or exclusive attraction towards specifically <i>prepubescent</i> children; primary or exclusive attraction towards pubescent children is known as <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hebephilia" rel="nofollow"><i>hebephilia</i></a> and towards post-pubescent adolescents <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ephebophilia" rel="nofollow"><i>ephebophilia</i></a>. See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia#Prevalence_and_child_molestation" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> for more information.”<br /><br />As the O’Keefe/Veritas exploit against WaPo you mentioned shows, spreading misinformation such as easily disproved false accusations (to be uncritically repeated) is intended to <i>discredit</i> news media and other critics of the right wing.<br /><br />That “pedophile” meme is just such an easily disproved false accusation: no PRE-pubescent children have (yet) been brought up in relation to Roy Moore, so continuing to repeat it only gives his defenders ammunition and outrage, making him the martyr of what they can see is a clearly defamatory falsehood.<br /><br />Many of Moore’s <i>detractors</i>, who think he’s bad enough to be opposed, and who tend to believe the accusers, but who like to get terms <i>right</i>, would prefer to apply the label “hebephile” or “ephebophile” — for instance, <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/sexual-assual-ephebophila-roy-moore-pedophilia-713683" title="Is Roy Moore A Pedophile? People Attracted To Teens Are Ephebophiles But It's Just As Bad" rel="nofollow"><b>Newsweek</b></a>.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974090948640572660noreply@blogger.com
