Webb Urged to Withdraw Over Content of Novels By Monisha Bansal CNSNews.com Staff Writer October 27, 2006
(Editor's note: Some of the content below may offend some readers.)
(CNSNews.com) - Virginia Democratic candidate Jim Webb should pull out of the race for the U.S. Senate because of the controversial content in his novels, a conservative group said Friday.
"I am outraged and sickened by what I have read in the book written by a U.S. Senate candidate," Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, said during a press conference outside Webb's campaign headquarters.
Lafferty was referring to Webb's 2001 novel, "Lost Soldiers," which includes a reference to a sexual act involving a father and son.
Excerpts from the book and others written by Webb were released late Thursday by the campaign of his Republican rival, Sen. George Allen (See Related Story).
"Democrat or Republican, an individual like that belongs on the couch of a therapist, not on the floor of the United States Senate," said Lafferty, who sought to compare Webb to disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley of Florida.
"We've got a hunt going on on the Hill. It started with Foley [and the congressional page scandal]. He's gone - we're glad. But now, we're going to send someone to the United States Senate who's the author of this kind of trash?" she said.
Webb "should step down and withdraw from the Senate race," Lafferty said. "When you read all the other stuff he's written - this man will not represent us well."
Citing the child sex reference, Lafferty said: "When you add this to all the degrading things he's said about women, it shows the man."
Webb defended the passage during a radio interview earlier Friday.

Yes, and what a pervert....
Heh... heh... he said "pull out". Heh... heh...
Scheech
A distinction without a difference.
He is a democrat-liberal. He will not apologize and will continue as if nothing happened
I read that passage over at the Drudge Report, not only was it sick but it was highly unusual in how the father was holding the son.... it's beyond just a passage of simple incest.... very bizarre stuff
It will never happen. Does anyone remember a few weeks ago, when the Foley case was uncovered, when the talking head on TV said that "Republicans are held to a higher standard, because they run on "Family Values". Democrats have NO values or morals. They see nothing wrong with this.
I do hope everyone remember that both the comrade clintoons heartily endorsed Webb for senate.
Of course, they probably support NAMBLA, too.
If Webb wins the election, will he be the first pornographer in Congress?
I wonder what William Faulkner would think about this
LOL ... Mom, Jim Webb is in my closet and he won't come out.
Don't worry QLA, I laughed; apackof2 is apparently sense of humor challenged.
Lets get a grip,these folks celebrate bj.clinton ,jerry studds,jesse jerkson,al sharpton etc,.
Jew? That's called a "Typo" Jet! LOL.
Sigh...the DUers have explained that father-son oral genital contact is a "cultural tradition" in Southeast Asia (and DuPont Circle for that matter).
I wonder what other cultural traditions Jim Webb is dying to foist on the American public?
