"People have asked my sister and she said it was a novelization." <BR/><BR/>So Webb's book is the truth while his sister's book is fiction?

Rant away and please keep linking me. The last time you linked me I received 2 whole visits.”<BR/><BR/>And, you, sir, brought your grade-school-like taunting to SLANTblog. I most certainly didn’t seek you out. In my memory I have mentioned you/your blog twice, in both cases after you attacked me. <BR/><BR/>In general, as you know, I have stayed away from the sissified bickering and attacks on bloggers that you and other Team bloggers relish. As well, I’ve steered an independent course in my support of Webb. SLANTblog has not been a part of the cacophony over Allen’s racist talk, and so forth. <BR/><BR/>So, the likeliest reason for you to ridicule my words and cartoons is that you worry that they are effective. Unlike your puffed up style, I’m not preaching to the choir. Most of my presentations are designed to persuade an undecided voter. <BR/><BR/>That’s a far cry from slinging mud to grandstand for a clique of bloggers on a Team of wannabe Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaughs. <BR/><BR/>You wrote: “BTW- Knuckle Dragger is considered a racial slur by many people.” <BR/><BR/>As with your apparent inability to know the difference between literature and reality -- with your reaction to Webb’s novels -- it seems you have taken the facetious Geico television commercials featuring offended cavemen as reality. <BR/><BR/>However, if that term is actually a racially-tinged slur of some sort where you live, I suppose there’s some reason why. <BR/><BR/>Once again, I’m glad I live in Richmond. <BR/><BR/>Finally, after this comment I plan to have nothing more to say to you, or about you.F.T.

Webb was writing about what he experienced in Vietnam in a way to show how that war affected our troops.<BR/><BR/>Yet, the Allen campaign is calling it "child pornography." I find it impossible to see how anyone but a pedophile would misinterpret Webb's writing in such a fashion.<BR/><BR/>It also is useful to keep in mind that child molestation is rampant in the GOP.<BR/><BR/>http://www.armchairsubversive.com/libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-1162045245773869292006-10-28T10:20:00.000-04:002006-10-28T10:20:00.000-04:00This is the lowest moment in Allen's campaign. So...This is the lowest moment in Allen's campaign. Someone might disagree with me on that and point to Allen's 'macaca' moment or his bizarre behavior regarding the 'revelations' about his Jewish ancestry, but those were gaffes. They weren't deliberate strategy. This nonsense with pulling passages from fictional books (out of context) is some moron's idea actual strategy. Some idiot sitting around a conference table somewhere actually came up with this idea...on purpose! <BR/>Allen's campaign has never looked more desperate, pathetic and grasping as it does right now.Trisculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974766710764610756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-1162040971855643352006-10-28T09:09:00.000-04:002006-10-28T09:09:00.000-04:00Sorry you are pissed.
