On one hand your dismissing Jim Webb with a wave of the hand and a token "Who cares. It's just art, and he's a writer. Besides sex sells." On the other hand, you seem outraged that sex is selling in politics. "It's too dirty."
Please read what Jim Webb wrote (remember: his words, not mine): The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy's penis in his mouth.
If that doesn't send shivers down your spine, no matter how many different ways you try to spin it, I don't know what will.
Lemme guess, you also stayed in a Holiday Express to try and make yourself relevant, right? Buzz off, toll...
Child porn scenes are not worth the electorate's attention? I beg to differ.
It will not backfire because these are Webb's own words he put in a novel to sell for money where he talks of a man taking his young son's penis into his mouth. That is incest and pedophilia. Webb is toast and the there will be shock waves felt through the donk party, like Foley affected the GOP. Foley's emails were creepy to teenagers of legal consent according to their state laws. Webb's words are far worse than that.
But But But....you are trying to make a democrat responsible for his actions! You know that means you arent being fair! (kicking the dirt, hands on hips and pouting as only her Thighness could)
I don't think Doestoevsky killed anyone or had sex with a retarded girl.
Just waiting for the kitties. All I have are pics of dogs. :)
Will Hillary drop her support for Webb..............will anyone in the MSM ask her about her support for Webb.................she was standing right beside Webb, defending him a few days ago.....................what say you now, Hillary?
I couldn't either, until I sought help from Google. It appears that this is a Vietnamese cultural thing. So, expect the 'Rats to defend Webb by saying he was just practicing the novelist's craft by adding vivid details of the local culture which he picked up while serving his country. The book got good reviews, by the way.
It's good that the story is getting out maybe some 'Rats will change their votes or stay home. But it was probably a mistake for Allen's campaign to touch it.
It seems Vietnam is not the only locale in which this practice is regarded as normal. In Maine a child abuse conviction was overturned on the basis that the behavior was OK in the defendant's culture (Afghan in this case).
There are trolls on this thread with the sole purpose of trying to salvage Webb's sinking titanic campaign. Webb is done and the there will be shock waves that affect the donk party as a whole. This is far worse than Foley. Repubs have brought a gun to a fight, when the donks brought a knife.
Are you sure it was Abraham, maybe it was the dislocation of Jacob's hip you are thinking about?
>I'm concerned that maybe this could backfire on Allen. Webb's stuff is much worse, more perverted, but who knows? The media may paint him as a persecuted artist.<
Then, the media will have to defend stuff like this:
From A Country Such As This:
"Don't know why I crave watermelon the way I have over the past few weeks. Jimmy says I must have a n*gger in the woodpile." -- P.34
"You're so nice, sometimes I forget you're a Yankee. What you all don't understand is, some of my best friends really are n*ggers. N*ggers are just different, that's all. What's wrong with that?" -- P.34
Jimmy: "He got that n*gger band in there again. It sounds like a d*mn juke joint."
Red: Personally, "Jimmy, I like n*gger music. In fact, I even like Negroes!"
Jimmy: "Well, so do I. I think everybody should own at least one." -- P.42
I'm an Old South n*gger, he thought suddenly, smiling and nodding to Ambassador somebody or other. Yes, massa. Smilin over here, massa. Pickin it up over her, massa. Whooee. My mind right, massa." -- P.122
Discussing retiring to Miami, FBI agent Drought says: "and the n*ggers are everywhere, you're not going to get away from them." -- P.208
I for one, am making a mental note to not buy any bananas until after the election
Are you a Star Trek DS9 fan?
"Define porn."
I think Webb has already done that...
Wasn't he a clinton candidate?
Or just someone who can read.
Can you imagine if a conservative judicial appointment came up and had written these books.....even fiction?
Yep, hand picked. This will hurt Hillary in 08.
