That is funny in a pathetic kind of way.

Looks like someone is afraid of losing this Senate seat!

Just a question Gunga.

The KKK

- is Anti gun-control
- believes that the US should be run as a Christian nation.
- Is railing against illegal immigration and thinks they should be rounded up and deported.
- Is against affirmative action.

There may be some historical link, but today's KKK hardly fits in with the things you dislike about the Democrats. Why do you keep trying to link the two.

Is there any issue where you disagree with the KKK and agree with the Democrats?

Taken out of context, Webb says
Webb said the graphic scenes in his novels, many of which are set in wartime, are taken out of context and do not accurately reflect the books or their content: combat. He said he has written about disturbing scenes that he witnessed on the battlefield or as a journalist in Southeast Asia.

"It is an observation about how the human species lives," Webb said after Mark Plotkin, the radio show's host, read one of the more lurid passages, prompting objections from the candidate.

Webb told Plotkin that listeners should read a book by Allen's sister, Jennifer, who described her brother's harsh physical treatment toward her. He also shot back that Vice President Cheney's wife, Lynne, wrote a novel, "Sisters," which contains scenes of rape and a lesbian love affair. "You can read Lynne Cheney's lesbian love scenes if you want to get graphic on stuff," he said.

In an interview later on CNN, Cheney declared Webb to be "full of baloney" and denied that she wrote anything in "Sisters" that is sexually explicit.

"His novels are full of sexually explicit references to incest -- sexually explicit references," she said.

Her book is out of print and difficult to find, but independent reviews describe it as highly sexual and "steamy" and mention lesbian characters.

Sticking to the issues?
Allen's attack on Webb's novels occurred three weeks after the senator gave a two-minute speech pleading for a return to issues after having defended himself against personal-character scandals for months. "The negative personal attacks and baseless allegations have also pulled us away from what you expect and deserve," Allen told voters in the unusual paid television commercial.

By Friday morning, however, the new allegations unleashed by his campaign had become the highlight of morning talk-radio shows and cable news outlets. Conservative groups seized on the news, with one calling for Webb to withdraw for writing "Triple X" novels. Cable news shows debated the issue throughout the day.

Jim Webb is a good author and a war hero.

I don't expect Conservatives to understand literature... but Farmerman, calling Jim Webb a sodomite, even in jest, is not appropriate. This is a Gunga thread...

Jim Webb is a fine person who will make a great Senator.

Jim Webb was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, and two Purple Hearts. Allen was a supporter of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War, although he did not serve in that conflict, taking a student deferment instead. Another war hero versus chickenhawk.

e-brown, well youre just going to have to go with my sense of humor on this. I find it funny that the racist candidate, whose only claim to fame is to make us all familiarized with Algerian racist slurs, is now armed with an issue that may or may not resound with the voters. Gungas always a few issues short of an essay.
Relax, You should give the thread posters a little more credit for their grey matter.

The really funny thing is Web claiming that the one passage isn't pornography because he actually saw it happen.

Obvious reply: There is no way to live forty or fifty years on this planet WITHOUT seeing a certain number of depraved and/or perverted things; normal people do not make the depraved things they've witnessed into major themes in books which they write.

Then again, there's the question of what de-moKKKer-rats view as great literature or great poetry...

Example:

Quote:

...He who writes on ****house walls,
rolls his **** in little balls.
But he who reads these words of wit,
EATS those little balls of ****...

(anon)

Wasn't it Scooter Libby who wrote some explicit book that turned into a bit of an issue a while back? I don't remember, what was the Republican reaction to that? I'm thinking that there was prolly some reason why it was okay to write "dirty" books in that case...

If you see these as good points of the KKK, what would you say are the KKK's bad points.

Like all conservatives the KKK now says it is not a racist organization.

You know, when you get down to it, "pervert" might not be the right word for Web.

Basically, there are "perverts" and then, again, as Slim Pickens put it, there are "PREE-verts". Web is likely more of a PREEvert.

I am more of a post-vert, although some people have said I am an extra-vert.

Whatever... Any rate, the US senate is supposed to be some sort of a gentlemen's club, and Web clearly does not belong.

How can someone who reports exactly what the US military participated in in Vietnam be considered a pervert? John McCain stated that these were accurate descriptions of what went on in Vietnam.

If Gunga would care to delve into this issue a bit more I'm sure he'd find that these incidents raised by drudge would hardly begin to describe what troops engaged in over there.

This is amazing. Maybe next Drudge will do a report on all the policeman who write reports about rapists and child molesters and Gunga will then accuse them of being perverts.

"Crackles with Authenticity" Senator John McCain.

What's so astonishing is that these crackpots have no conception whatsoever of what freedom of speech means.

Webb swings back at Allen's literary criticism in Va. Senate race

By MATTHEW BARAKAT
Associated Press Writer
October 28, 2006

"I have written about what I have seen and that is the duty of a writer," Webb said to 300 cheering supporters during a rally at a Fairfax County middle school. "Maybe George Allen doesn't understand that because I'm told George Allen doesn't read books."

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, who joined Webb at the Annandale rally along with former Gov. Mark Warner, dismissed Allen's attack as desperation. He said it reminded him of his gubernatorial campaign last year, when Republicans ran ads saying Kaine opposed the death penalty even for people like Adolf Hitler. Those ads are generally perceived to have backfired.

"It's the same kind of nonsense," Kaine said. "They never know when to stop. They always go over the top and it always backfires."

Kaine said that Webb's novels, which focus heavily on his experiences as a Vietnam veteran, are "a public service because they communicate what it's like to be a soldier in war time."
