I guess this explains the unabated racial attacks on Senator George Allen. Webb knew this was coming down the pike and launched a pre-emptive strike.

[AdvisorB]

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

[Just mythoughts]

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.

"Webb knew this was coming down the pike and launched a pre-emptive strike."

That's what it looks like to me.

[Samwise]

If you want to know what Democrats are doing, just listen to what they accuse the Republicans of doing.

A pre-emtive strike was not enough . . .they make it worse; a genuine character assassination by lying/false embellisment and creating of 'facts'. (Surely the horse-head was something saved for one of Webb's books. . .as perhaps were some other 'recalled incidents'. . .

(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. . .

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.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

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.

Webb ... while describing his own behavior during ... the early 1960s."They would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his," ... "They would take the rifles down there. They would call then [Ni**ers], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing.

Well whoopee. Who didn't do that back then? Why I recall it like it was yesterday - we'd pile into Jimmy's '54 Pontiac, drive over to Madison and Pulaski and do the same thing.

The down side was we were caught by the Vice Lords and they killed us.

[DaiHuy]

"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.

Now just how much air time do you think this is really going to get. Webb=Dem=Ho hum nothing to see here folks, just move along.

"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."

I grew up in SoCal during that time. Yes, some a$$hats did that--not only in Watts, but in parts of San Diego, California, as well. Yes, it was white-on-black. Yes, when they got caught, their victims would beat . . . them.
