Perhaps if you had purchased Webb’s books and at least read about these types of atrocities, you would not have been so gung ho about blindly following the misguided and malfeasant actions of another man who did not witness firsthand the ugliness of war, George W. Bush.

Webb you are an A$$!!

[taxesareforever]

You are what you write. Live with it. This has nothing to do with his military service. It has everything to do with what he feels and that is scary.

[Txsleuth]

If WEBB truly thinks this note to George Allen makes HIM look better.....he is so very wrong.

What a childish brat..

I note his name wasn't on it...but we know it was Webb that said it.

Webb struts around like some kind of peacock...but it more like he has a PEA brain!!!

[claudiustg]

---Second, let me say one more time to George Allen and his lapdog assassins. ---

And "running dogs"! Don't forget "running dogs"!

[Slings and Arrows]

The Dims' emotional-human-shield tactics are getting a little tiresome.

[detsaoT]

I AM SPEECHLESS.

This jerk actually thinks that CHILDISH responses like that are APPROPRIATE for a Senatorial campaign? Or a Senator?

Down in flames, Webb. That's your campaign's future.

[black_diamond]

I can't tell which is worse, my typing or my proof reading.

[jwalsh07]

Very weak response. Webb wrote it, there was no context requiring Dad to swallow juniors unit. Now Webb owns it. If it was fictional it's evidence of a questionable charatcer, if it's factual then there should be some context for including that particular cultural depravity, there is not.

So, there is no explanation which is why Webb attacks Allen for not serving. I got news for Webb, he's coming out on the short end of this stick.

"Senator, Jim Webb wrote of things he witnessed. They may have been ugly, but we should learn from their ugliness about the consequences of our votes and actions before we send men and women into war."

So is this something that comes from his sick mind or something he witnessed? What about the erotic dancer? Fact or fiction?

[Echo Talon]

what does a woman using her crotch as a kitchen utensil have to with war? or little kids have sex with each other, and the boy worried that his stuff is to small(and the girl is such a promiscuous character that she sounds like a prostitute at age 15)

Allen - You Have Not Earned the Right to Question Webb's Recollections of War - So Just Shut Up

Oh, the little pedophile, woman hater, demeaner of blacks and minorities has a little temper does he? And by the way Allen has the right to question anything he wants to question about you bitch--it's called the 1st Amendment and the fact that you chose to run against him in a political campaign. That gives him all the right in the world loser. Now go back to fantasizing about oral with little boys. Creep.

[jincarolina]

reqired reading in campus colleges was enough for me to question the book.

[ARA]

Are the books fiction or are they memoires?

C

[claudiustg]

Notice their first reaction is to tell the other side to just shut up. That I think is the the thing I find most characteristic and most disturbing about the left. If political free speech is denied the next stop is physical violence.

[ilovew]

I love that Webb is irritated that people are QUOTING his books! Lol! I guess he didn't think anyone was actually reading them...

[GoBucks2002]

Webb has jumped the shark.

[PghBaldy]

Unintentionally ex post facto funny: We Are the Monkey and the Banana Who Scared Off Allen. http://www.raisingkaine.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4300 It was originally referring to macaca, but the banana can now switch sides and work for Allen, trailing Webb.

[Niteranger68]

Can any of you actually make us shut up?

[alloysteel]

What's love got to do with it?

Man, you can just FEEL the warmth in the room when you peruse any of these "fiction" works produced by James Webb.

Like an overheated 14-year-old male, Webb is more than just a little graphic in his descriptions. Seems like a similar degree of objection was raised about the writings of Henry Miller a couple of generations ago, when the works "Sexus", "Nexus", "Plexus", "Tropic of Capricorn" and "Tropic of Cancer" were still banned in the US, until the prohibition was overturned by the US Supreme Court.

Still filthy, lewd, lascivious and of prurient interest only.

Is this the same Steve Jarding?

He has served as Communications Director of the national Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and has run leadership PACs for Senators Kerrey and John Edwards. In 2001, Jarding was campaign manager for Mark Warner's bid for governor of Virginia, a campaign recognized by many as the best run in the country. In 1996, Roll Call magazine named Jarding one of the 50 most influential political people in Washington, DC. Jarding received an undergraduate degree from the University of South Dakota and a master's degree from the University of Oklahoma where he served as a Fellow at the Carl Albert Congressional Studies Center.

Senator, you have not earned the right to question Jim Webb’s wartime experiences

Dear Nobody Steve Jardin. No American has earned the right to question anybody. That right happens to be ours as an endowment from the Creator. I would not question even the right of someone as obviously ignorant as you to the same right.
