All that was missing was the theme music from Deliverance. Not content to condemn George Allen for raising the issue of Jim Webb’s racy writing, Chris Matthews decided on this evening’s Hardball to slur the entire Commonwealth of Virginia south of the DC suburbs.
Interviewing senior Webb campaign advisor Steve Jarding [Chris did indicate that he had unsuccessfully tried to get an Allen representative on the show], Matthews had this to say:
“Not to take sides but they’ve had this material since the day Jim Webb announced, and they’ve chosen to use it now with the risk that it implies, because everybody in Northern Virginia, in this area of the country, reads books, they think.”

Webb was writing about disturbing things he saw during the Vietnam war. Describing this as “racy” is really twisted. It says a lot more about the person attacking Webb than it does about Webb.
1- No, that isn’t even close to what Webb has said..what you read was that Webb, a Vietnam Vet, used this passage and sees nothing wrong with it because in certain cultures it is okay..but here in the USA, is is not acceptable.
These multi-nic trolls are getting out of hand…
So shiloh sees no problem with men and boys together..what is your beef with Foley?
Please point out where it is that I called for the banning of the book.
– 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.”
And you could not find where I said ban the book. As usual, the ass got ahead of the plow:roll:
