BREAKING!!!! Webb being called a pedophile

[bigdarryl]

It's on the Drudge report right now. something about a novel he wrote years ago and the Allen campaign is passing out literature on this saying he's unfit to serve in the senate.

1. umm hmmm..............

:eyes:

[BootinUp]

2. old news (by todays standards lol)

It broke yesterday evening, however it has been pushed by freeps for over a week. Skinner posted a debunking thread in GD, btw.

[bigdarryl]

3. Why is Imus just talking about it then. he's making a BIG

deal about it this morning.

[BootinUp]

4. Because he thinks

people want to hear about books that have words like penis in them I guess.

12. So did he give air time to

Libby's book and Lynne Cheney's book?

[Cassandra]

18. Were there any penises in Lynne Cheney's book?

I thought it was vaginas only.

5. Imas is often days behind the news..

Half the reason I like him he is more like the people you talk to.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. Because Imus is a republican shill.

By the way, this board is for supporting Democratic candidates.

7. yawn

[Chipper Chat]

8. So much for Allen's pledge to run a clean campaign.

I hope this drives democrats to the polls in droves. What's the Diebold factor in Virginia?

[rodeodance]

13. Clean is DIRTY.

[bigdarryl]

9. Where was Allen on this when Webb supported him for the..

senate when he first ran. OH i forgot he (Webb)was a rethuglican then. so it was ok. incidently John McCain loved this book Webb wrote why didn't Drudge mention that

[magnolia]

15. The back of the book...

"Lost Soldiers" has this review:

James Webb’s new novel paints a portrait of a modern Vietnam charged with hopes for the future but haunted by the ghosts of its war-torn past. It captures well the lingering scars of the war, and exposes the tension between the dynamism of a new generation and the invisible bondage of an older generation for whom wartime allegiances, and animosities, are rendered no less vivid by the passage of time. A novel of revenge and redemption that tells us much about both where Vietnam is headed and where it has been. JOHN McCAIN

[Virginian]

20. Fiction based on what he saw in 'Nam.

Of course Allen's group thinks it's wierd, they are all chickenhawks who don't realize there are odd customs in other cultures.
They think everyone has the same idea of what is acceptable as they do. Of course that doesn't mean they always act in ways that are acceptable, they just know what the rules of their culture are or make them up as they go along.

[JohnnyLib2]

16. It's an appeal to the book burning element, alas

Enough said.

[wicket]

19. I know you're CONCERNED, but it's been debunked:
