Democrat Webb of Hypocrisy

October 30, 2006

I’ll try not to mention the fact that this story comes right off the heels of democrats trying to politically execute Mark Foley for his page “scandal” even though he never broke the law; but it directly relates to the new controversy surrounding democrat Jim Webb.

Mr. Webb has written a few books. Many of the books include sexually explicit material. I don’t particularly care what the man talks about in any of his writings, but I do care about two things.

1. Blatant liberal hypocrisy.

2. Blatant Dishonesty on the part of Jim Webb.

Jim Webb, who aligns with the so-called “sensitive and pro-diversity” democrats uses a surprising amount of racial slurs in his books, and even refers to Vietnamese women as “monkey-faced.” In 2002, in a book titled “Lost Soldiers,” Webb writes about a man embracing his four year old son and inserting his son’s penis in his mouth.

Webb claims that the release of the excerpts of his books is a smear campaign driven by Karl Rove. Well yes Mr. Webb, your party targeted Foley and tried to character assassinate him, which your party was successful at, even though Mr. Foley never broke any laws. When you smear, you should expect to be smeared.

Now, Mr. Webb, the question remains; why do you want Foley indicted when you write about far worse things than he has done? He had sex with a male page who was of legal age. You write about four year olds putting their penis in their dad’s mouth. And you feel this is simply a smear campaign? Mr. Webb, you’d be lucky if that’s all this is.

Mr. Webb goes on to say that the description of the act of the four year old and his father is “not a sexual act.” Apparently he’s been taking lessons from democratic hero Bill Clinton.

More political dishonesty from Mr. Webb…

Webb says Republicans don’t have a comment to make on the most important issue facing this country; “this country’s been breaking into pieces economically.” Apparently he hasn’t been watching the stock market lately. Apparently he hasn’t been watching job growth, home sales, or the unemployment rate. Apparently he hasn’t been properly educated in analyzing the economy.
And to say that our economy is the most important issue facing this country is quite laughable.

Not to mention his statement….
“Our government should no longer be in the hands of a group of unprincipled, small-minded, power-hungry character assassins.”

Hmm…this is exactly why I say NOT ONE liberal should have a job in Washington. Unprincipled. Small-minded. Power-hungry. Character-assassins. Those four descriptions are DEAD ON for a party who has spent the last 6 years lying, cheating, and attacking George Bush. This statement is just another example of Democrat’s selective memory and sheer mindlessness.

Please Mr. Webb, quit while you aren’t too far behind.

  1. heh, you forgot to add to your cherrypicking, that most of the readers of Mr. Webb’s books are hardcore conservative military buffs…..hyporcisy indeed!


  2. Dan,

    Please don’t make accusations without posting a source of evidence for your claims. This would be a great counterpoint to what I was saying, but please show me where you have gotten the demographics on webb’s book sales?

    I’ll update my post with your evidence if you give it to me…


  3. I wonder if you would do the same on my blog when you comment. You’ve made some points without any evidence. I’ll offer you the evidence if you do the same.


  4. Here is the Marine Corps Professional reading Program section for his book. The Marine Corps recommends this book for Corporate Seargants and Lieutenants. Now, I’m making an assumption here, but I do believe most Marines tend to be conservative. Would I, as a liberal, read his book? probably not. I’m not interested in a visceral account of what happened in Vietnam. But apparently the Marine Corps believes that this book will help their leaders get a better sense of what life was like for the Marines in Vietnam. This is their review of the book:

    James Webb. a well-known Marine Corps Navy Cross recipient in Vietname and former Secretary of the Navy, conveys the experience of combat with rare lucidity through fiction. In fact, Fields of Fire is less fictional than most realize. It is the Vietnam War as the author lived it, and the reader sees and feels it through the eyes of the book’s main character, a platoon commander in Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.

    The novel is about the reality of war that Marines must come to grips with today as we prepare for the future. Fields of Fire is the story of the young, enlisted Marines who fought under then Lieutenant Webb. The reader should note carefully their emotions, motivations, courage, and fears for they are the men who have served us best in every war. Their social backgrounds vary, and many of our best warriors came from the lowliest of stations. In terms of the brotherhood of those who bleed together and the nobility of sacrifices made for friends, the characters in Webb’s novel are timeless. He succeeds brilliantly in making them real. Webb creates a doctrine of combat leadership and a creed for the succeeding generation on how and why Marines fight.

    Does Mr. Allen mention any of this in his “complaint” about Webb’s books? No. He is cherry-picking to try and tarnish the reputation of an otherwise very good, honorable Marine.


  5. did you get my comment? It did not appear……do you allow links on your blog?


  6. So you are using the fact that the book is on the marines book list to say that the majority of book sales have been “hard core military buffs?” Where are the sales figures, demographics, etc.? You are making a generalized ASSUMPTION based on a meaningless find. Sorry, that’s not going to fly.


  7. Your post was trapped by askimet and marked as spam – i recovered it and let it through.


  8. If you want the sales figures, call Bantam Books. I stand by my assertion that it is military buffs who read this book, and military buffs tend to be conservative.

    I’m sensing though that you don’t really care, and are just jumping on the partisan bandwagon to tear down an otherwise good man. It’s a shame, but the title of your blog is fitting for your posts.


  9. I do care…that’s why I wrote the article. You haven’t supplies sufficient evidence to support your claims. That isn’t my fault.


  10. You also do not provide any evidence for your claims. I’m still waiting over on my blog for you to provide evidence of many assertions. Furthermore, you do not provide any evidence for your first point: (1. Blatant liberal hypocrisy.) Just what is hypocritical about liberals supporting an author like Webb? I’d like to see evidence of this hypocrisy. To this point, you just rant and rave with no evidence. I give you evidence that the Marine Corps recommends this book for its leaders. Whether they happen to be conservative or liberal, by your logic, you think the Marine Corps are “blatant liberal hypocrites” because they too support Webb’s book. They not only support Webb’s book but they recommend it to their leadership. It seems to me the Marine Corps have no problem with the foul language in his books…..what does Mr. Allen have to say about that?


  11. Oh, and I’m waiting for the “backhand” that will send me scrambling for more talking points….

    Frankly I’m rather flattered that I’m the only “liberal” blog you’re picking on. Thanks. :)


  12. I’ll be back to your site to add my evidence soon. In the meantime, the liberal hypocrisy was based on your party supporting Webb while at the same time character assassinating Foley. That is fundamentally dishonest.

    You showed the the marine corps lists his book but you didn’t show that the majority of sales are made by marines. That is a correlation that is needed in order to prove your point and you haven’t tied the two together properly.

    I’m glad you’re flattered – but you won’t be the only one for long.


  13. Um, Republicans were “character assassinating” Foley too. Are they hypocrites?
