Debate implies that there's someone else to debate.

The real debate, in every race in every election, goes on individually, inside each head of each voter. The fact that one of the candidates is a moral degenerate adds to the debate. Greatly.

I said "Is reporting nothing", I think you misunderstood.

"If true this is dumb. Allen should stressing the positive."

How true, and it will probably do a lot for Webb's book sales besides, improve his financial position. Who said, any publicity is good publicity.

I saw this on Fox a couple of days ago. Someone should see if this wacko is a card-carrying member of that Men who love boys organization. I read the link to the Right Wing News story on this and the excerpts are truly disturbing - almost like the scene was just dropped in the middle of his otherwise bland righting. No reason for it and the other characters didn't react. This makes Foley look like the model of decorum.

When an adult male puts his mouth on the genitals of a boy, that is not "underage sex scenes" that is indecency with a child.

As the story was not about child abuse, it begs the question what WAS in the author's mind?

I don't know---these were scenes in a fictional novel. There is a lot of disturbing shit people put in novels. Lynne Cheney wrote about lesbian love scenes, for example and Scooter Libby wrote about a guy having sex with a bear

my Vietnam vet uncle is a huge fan of Jim Webbs books and says they are "very realistic."

that scene with the boy being molested by his father was reportedly based on a scene Webb witnessed

the thing is, Webb should have known that his books would be used against him---wether racial slurs or disturbing scenes, just like Allen's displays of confederate memorabilia would be used against him

"Webb should have known that his books would be used against him---wether racial slurs or disturbing scenes, just like Allen's displays of confederate memorabilia would be used against him"

The only people in Virginia who might be offended by Allen's display of "Confederate memorabilia" besides the NAACP types, are the liberals in the D.C. suburbs. Both of those groups are hardcore leftist democrats anyways.

[Rurudyne]

That would assume that an opponent is actually worthy, or else there is enough doubt that even the presumption of worthiness is justified.

For comparison, years ago President Clinton made a obscure statement about why he would not return campaign donations made may by known pornographers, essentially saying that returning the money would increase the influence of other monies given.

When the original statement was properly parsed it made no sense UNLESS you realized that if money offered to a Democrat were refused then comparable monies offered to Republicans may have more influence in comparison to what they have when Democrats accept porn-bucks.

Thus the imperative to defeat Republicans outweighs all other considerations about accepting donations from otherwise questionable sources.

If you think about it, that "imperative" well preconditions much of the behavior of the DNC these days.

Being a big war hero and all, Webb should have busted the guy on the nose, don't you think?

Instead he grabbed for his note pad and said, "Ooo! This is good stuff! I can put this in my next best-selling potboiler!"

[Jane Austen]

If Webb witnessed that child porn scene, what did he do about it? Watch it for amusement? Save the child and beat up the father? Or just shrug it off as nothing special?

[Jane Austen]

If that is what Webb did when he saw the child being molested, that is sick and cowardly. Someone with such an attitude should not be in the Senate.

[Jane Austen]

I did not find reasons for Webb's divorces. All I have read is that he was seeing wife No. 3 while still married to Wife No. 2.

[epluribus_2]

His true consituency will greatly moved by his ART and come out in record numbers...

[Hilltop]

Alas, your worthy wish of civil discourse was not part and parcel of the Lincoln v Douglas debate.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The "democrats" will do anything to regain power.

This is not politics, it's war.

More's the pity, as I fear for the Republic.

Ok

How is the novel sex scene thing doing so far in the allen race?

Is it still helping? Or did it ever help?
