BOMBSHELL: Allen Campaign Nails Webb To The Wall

Drudge has this, and yes this is a bombshell for the Webb campaign. We will see if the media and the Democrats are prepared to show us their hypocrisy; the same sort we would expect of a party to slime Mark Foley for his actions:

Sen. George Allen, R-VA, unleashed a press release late Thursday that exposed his rival's fiction writing, which includes graphic underage sex scenes.

The Author’s Disturbing Writings Show a Continued Pattern of Demeaning Women

· Some of Webb’s writings are very disturbing for a candidate hoping to represent the families of Virginians in the U.S. Senate.

· Many excellent books about the United States military and wartime service accomplish their purposes, and even win awards, without systematically demeaning women, and without dehumanizing women, men and even children.

· Webb’s novels disturbingly and consistently – indeed, almost uniformly – portray women as servile, subordinate, inept, incompetent, promiscuous, perverted, or some combination of these. In novel after novel, Webb assigns his female characters base, negative characteristics. In thousands of pages of fiction penned by Webb, there are few if any strong, admirable women or positive female role models. Why does Jim Webb refuse to portray women in a respectful, positive light, whether in his non-fiction concerning their role in the military, or in his provocative novels? How can women trust him to represent their views in the Senate when chauvinistic attitudes and sexually exploitive references run throughout his fiction and non-fiction writings?

· Most Virginians and Americans would find passages such as those below shocking, especially coming from the pen of someone who seeks the privilege of serving in the United States Senate, one of the highest offices in the land:

– Lost Soldiers: “A shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy’s penis in his mouth.”

I do not think I need to go on. This is deplorable. The Left is likely to get very upset over this. However, let us use their logic against them. IF they knew about it, why did they not ask him to step aside for a different candidate? Read the rest of the writings at Drudge's site. They are disgusting. I am no prude, but the above alone is enough to make me sick.

Jim Webb is done like dinner. Allen has his win. But to ensure the victory, Allen must point to Webb's reaction to Mark Foley, and his party's reaction, and ask "Where is the equal outrage?"

Now before anyone goes out shouting we support Mark Foley, we do not. And we do not equate Mark Foley's alleged crime to what Jim Webb did. However, Jim Webb supposedly wrote this garbage. We had someone that may have preyed on children, and one who wrote smut that graphicly demonstrated sex with children. In addition to that there are other passages dealing with the subject of incest.

This is just plain sick. Jim Webb needs to step aside. Standing up and trying to defend this will not help him. Nor will any attempt to sweep this under the carpet help him. He needs to bow out of this race. And in closing I would like to add that if the media does not address this story, they are as done like dinner as Jim wEbb. The nation is aware of this, and they will be watching to see what the media's reaction is. It had better not be the hypocrisy that myself, Thomas, and many GOP supporters are expecting.
