No. Novels that he wants to sell and make money off of.

Read one Jim Webb novel. Really hated it and never read another. It did have graphic sex scenes in it. Also had an unhappy ending (after she was captured, a marine LT's wife cheated on him with a terrorist; helped the terrorist kill a marine, then, after the terrorist was killed, went back to the LT and he took rather than killing the b!tch - great opportunity for a little justice was missed there).
It was a crummy novel. I won't by any more of his works. BUT IT WAS JUST A NOVEL.

Jim Webb wrote the script for one of my favorite movies. "Rules of Engagement"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160797/

AMAZON REVIEW:

Entaining, but dangerous anti-Arab propaganda, 26 Mar 2005
Reviewer: A viewer
As a film, this is good entertainment both in the Yemen action and the courtroom drama, BUT BEWARE its message. The film was described by the American-Arab Anti-discrimination Committee as "probably the most vicious anti-Arab racist film ever made by a major Hollywood studio" : having now seen the film more than once, and thought about it, I can see why. We are initially made to feel some sympathy for the civilian "victims", especially through the images of the little crippled girl and the dedicated Yemeni doctor who deals with the suffering of those shot by the marines. Then, progressively, we have the "truth" of the situation unfolded to us - the end result is that we realise that the doctor has lied, as has every Arab who says anything in the film, and the little girl is an armed terrorist - i.e. we were in fact wrong to have sympathy for all those dead and wounded people shot by the American soldiers. There is not a single trustworthy Arab shown in this film - all are liars and/or terrorists. Also, the film is presented as if it is a recent event from American history, with information about what subsequently happened to the key characters - the Yemeni ambassador to the U.S. reported many viewers asking when this actually happened. This film, with its one-sided presentation of good guys and bad guys, simply contributes to tragic prejudice and misunderstandings of the Middle East situation.

I do understand the "It's just a novel". I read all kinds of novels. When the liberals and the ACLU stop censoring all things Christian and conservative from all things "public", I'll hold that Webb's book is not "just a novel"

His books contain highly horrid pedophilic scenes.

In the liberal world -- WORDS EQUAL RAPE.

Hastart's head should be on a platter for some words in IM's from a Republican (meaning... Hastart "raped" via party affiliation, a "youth"). Or Cindy Sheehan's "Bush killed my son".

Right now, Webb has or is obviously engaging in pedophilia, according to liberal "mind meld politics", and the politics of "personal destruction" wrought by Democrats. And Begala calls it "art".

In their world, Webb must be a pedophile to have authored such words.

We all now know that Mark Foley and the young Jordan were just co-authoring a book together in those IMS.

That's how it works.
