Here in California, if a candidate wrote that he'd get an instant 15 point surge in the polls.
Ah, the obligatory knee-jerk retort, when the facts aren't on your side.
At least my screenname is readable, unlike yours.
There's nothing to explain, the pedophilia is gratuitous. You can't explain that to average, below average or above average people.
This story doesn't have legs. If it did, it would have came out when Webb announced his candidacy.
This will drop Webb at least 15-20 points behind Allen and remove him from politics forever. Webb is toast in Virginia.
Looks like other found the book a good read. http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Soldiers-James-H-Webb/dp/B00006JO28/sr=8-7/qid=1161907163/ref=pd_bbs_7/102-8997217-3924909?ie=UTF8&s=books
I don't see this as a big deal and something so petty that it could backfire in Macacavitz's face. We'll see how this plays out.
If I had to guess, I'd say that Allen's campaign had this a long time ago (they hire opposition researchers for this sort of thing) and were waiting for the right moment to drop it.
hehehehehehe
Novel yes, but were I anywhere near that area, I would not want my kids near him. Alarm bells go off all over the place reading this disgusting garbage. That something like that is even entering someones mind, is alarming. It's not just pornagraphic, it's sick!!
It was a 'dirty trick'.... Allen MADE him write it!
Allen doesn't have to prove anything, his accusers do.
Lots of people have read Webb's book. This info has been on the web for a month that I know of.
And Kilgore lost by trying to be more like Mark Warner than Tim Kaine was.
Crazyist campaign ever.
Scandal Rocks Allen Campaign
Republican Senator George Allen’s campaign for reelection was dealt what many in the media are calling a “death blow” when a former classmate came forward to reveal sordid details from Allen’s past.
In a new television ad paid for by the “Webb for Senate” campaign, Albie Wyner, a pre-school classmate of Allen’s at the Mary Moppet Day School of Fairfax Virginia revealed that during a particularly tense playground confrontation in 1955, Allen called him an inappropriate name. “I remember we were playing tag,” Wyner said. “Georgie tagged me and said I was it. I didn’t want to be it. So, I slapped him. He called me a ‘pooh-pooh head.’ I started to cry. I was so humiliated. I told the teacher, but she was a Republican and wouldn’t do anything. George Allen ruined my life. Don’t let him ruin yours. Vote for James Webb for U.S. Senate.”
Reached for comment, Allen said he did not recall the incident. “I was in pre-school 50 years ago,” said Allen. “I don’t remember who was in my class, much less what may have happened on any given day.”
Webb characterized Allen’s memory lapse as “awfully convenient.” “A man who forgets so easily isn’t someone the voters should trust to be their senator,” Webb said. “The indifference to suffering demonstrated by this incident is indicative of the heartless nature of the Republicans when it comes to human rights. I only hope that the message gets through to enough Virginia voters in time.”

That being said, how would the public react to an actor acting out this scene in a movie? "It's only a movie"...right?
Unconscienable that a man who wants to be seriously considered for Senate could have written this. Appalling.
If only republicans would come out and remind people teddy is a MURDERER, Clinton is a RAPIST, Barney Franks lives with a MALE PROSTITUTE, Studds was applauded for sodomizing a YOUNG PAGE .... It's a long list but I would NEVER have let the dems pretend to lecture on morality.
Totally disagree. The "macaca" nonsense should have been ignored by the MSM, but instead this outrageous "writing" was ignored. Well, if the media will only cover negative news on the GOP side, then the Allen forces have no idea but to use the web media to get the word out themselves.
Your perverted boy Webb is going down. Now back to DU with the rest of the sickos and perverts.
I question the timing of this. LOL
