1. Right-wing media is currently falling all over themselves at the chance to smear one of Roy Moore's accusers goo.gl/9VnGk3
2. As @saletan noted in Slate weeks ago, the fact that there had been some notes added to Moore's inscription was obvious goo.gl/9VnGk3
3. It does not mean the inscription is "forged" and it does not mean Moore's victim is lying goo.gl/9VnGk3
4. Moore has repeatedly told false and contradictory stories, since the Washington Post first published the allegation goo.gl/9VnGk3
5. The unbylined Fox News piece also falsely claimed that Moore ruled against this accuser in her 1999 divorce action, which was false. It's since been taken out goo.gl/9VnGk3
6. The broader point is our standard for victims. We insist that victims be perfect, if there is a single issue with anything they say, they are branded as liars goo.gl/9VnGk3
7. In this case, Beverly Nelson has done nothing wrong. Her attorney should have been clear that there were annotations. She doesn't deserve to be smeared. goo.gl/9VnGk3
