Allen vs Web , and The MMD

Hey folks,

I know you heard this already, but it needs repeating. You may have even read it on page B 1 in the Washington Post. Unlike all the FRONT page and days of continual news about Allen saying "Macaca" or this new FALSE allegation that he used the "N" word. Yes, if a Republican is so much hinted at for anything that can be seen as racial, within 40 days of an election, of course, it is FRONT page, daily news. Commentators comment on it. People are furious. It’s the end of the Republican party. But when a Democrat does it? It’s page B 1 in one news outlet, that was brave enough to print it.

You know by now that James Webb made this statement,

"I don't think that there's anyone who grew up around the South that hasn't had the word pass through their lips at one time in their life," he told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Tuesday. "If you read 'Fields of Fire,' that word and a lot of other words are in the book." "Fields of Fire" is a novel Webb wrote about the Vietnam War.

The story that you DO see is that he denies using it disparately against anyone personally. According to

The Washington Post , and a few others,

"Spokeswoman Kristian Denny Todd said Webb, an author and former Marine, "did not want to make any blanket statements that he has never, ever uttered the word. Jim has not used the word directed at another person. He's never used it himself as a racial slur."

OK, he said it but he didn’t mean it. But ALLEN!!! He is a RACIST... What? Are you kidding me? Wait though. It gets even MORE outrageous. If this is true, I hope that Web will be run right out of politics, and sent straight to oblivion. The Washington Post continues,

"Webb's comments to the Times-Dispatch prompted Allen campaign officials to direct a reporter to Dan Cragg, a former acquaintance of Webb's, who said Webb used the word while describing his own behavior during his freshman year at the University of Southern California in the early 1960s. Webb later transferred to the U.S. Naval Academy.

Cragg, 67, who lives in Fairfax County, said on Wednesday that Webb described taking drives through the black neighborhood of Watts, where he and members of his ROTC unit used racial epithets and pointed fake guns at blacks to scare them.

"They would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his," Cragg said Webb told him. "They would take the rifles down there. They would call then [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that."

Cragg said Webb told him the Watts story during a 1983 interview for a Vietnam veterans magazine. Cragg, who described himself as a Republican who would vote for Allen, did not include the story in his article. He provided a transcript of the interview, but the transcript does not contain the ROTC story. He said he still remembers the exchange vividly more than 20 years later."


Going into neighborhoods and pointing GUNS at people and hoping to scare them? Oh yeah, using the "N" word while doing it? THIS story becomes buried on page B 1. ???

"Wait Pete, you can’t say that. Just relax, we do not even know if this happened. I thought you examined all the facts before you make a judgement like that. Calm down, it’s no big deal."

What about the unproven Allen allegation? You know, the one EVERYONE says never happened?

"Well he’s a racist. You know Republicans / racists same thing."

Just like LWL and completely out of touch, completely insane, moronic, ignorant, power hungry juveniles, are one in the same? OK enough kidding around. This is SERIOUS.

Will anything be done to Web? Any investigations? I bet no. But I will tell you what "They" The MMD {Mass Media Drones} do not want you to know. They CANNOT silence this story. It’s out there. It’s here, on the Radio, and will be out there in the next few days by some who are trying to ignore it now. Some how it will be Bush’s fault, not sure how, but they always find a way. {Some of them} After that? When it counts, the PEOPLE will decide. I think this may have just sealed Web’s political fate, but we will have to wait to see.
