Webb can't deny this the essence of this bumper sticker. The Bumper Sticker is courtesy of the great Rushbo and his golden EIB.

Webb's comments to the Times-Dispatch prompted Allen campaign officials to direct a reporter to Dan Cragg, a former acquaintance of Webb's, who said Webb used the word while describing his own behavior during his freshman year at the University of Southern California in the early 1960s. Webb later transferred to the U.S. Naval Academy.
Cragg, 67, who lives in Fairfax County, said on Wednesday that Webb described taking drives through the black neighborhood of Watts, where he and members of his ROTC unit used racial epithets and pointed fake guns at blacks to scare them.
"They would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his," Cragg said Webb told him. "They would take the rifles down there. They would call then [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that."

Webb obviously wants this position of power very badly and seems to have the liberal method of operation, do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
This whole mess is sickening and Webb has tainted his persona as a spoiled destructive two year old.
The important thing is that we're all focused on the real issues.
That's what it looks like to me.
Me, too. I will be gone for a chunk of the day, today. Friday's are a good day for Rats dumping bad news, so ping me if anything develops, please!
Will do. Battle station manned! LOL.
OR. . .a 'replica' of what could be a bumper sticker ? :^)
. . .because I want one!
How much do you want to bet if this story goes further, and is proven right, the media will be stressing how Webb was a REPUBLICAN not long ago and that he served in the Reagan administration??
Hard to believe he would run for office knowing he had a secret this big to hide. But then maybe he figured the media and the Dems would cover for him as long as he was now one of them.
If you want to know what Democrats are doing, just listen to what they accuse the Republicans of doing.
You're giving liberals too much credit. Politicians are a generally scurvy lot regardless of ideology.
(I am particularly interested in the role Larry Sabato has played in all this. . .hope never to see him again on Fox News contributing his political analysis and 'wisdom'. . .)
But. . .alas, perhaps I am judging prematurely. . .
Don't be silly. Who wants to focus on issues?
Not hard. The RATS are very weak on National security, so they are desparate for people with Webb's resume.
THOUGHTS:
--You suspect of others what you know to be true of yourself
---I went to Compton Jr. College, 1959-1961. If Webb said he did this, he is lying. There was overt resentment and hate for "Honkies". I drove through Watts one time in my 49 Ford. I was cursed, had bottles thrown at me, and was almost rammed by another car.
Now! this a bumper sticker that I might be willing to put on my car!
What a sad commentary on the state of retail politics at the federal level: a Senatorial election focused on what might have been said forty years ago. I guess there are no substantive issues facing this country in the near future.
