    Default Johnny Reb Allen's Swift Boating Of Jim Webb

    Johnny Reb Allen's Swift Boating Of Jim Webb
    Bob Cesca

    Bear with me as I try to figure out this Jim Webb situation. Senator Allen and the mighty GOP cabal is making a big deal about several historical novels written by Jim Webb and endorsed by Senator McCain which depict the horrors of the Vietnam war. The horrors include sexual references and acts which many veterans observed in the war. This somehow proves Jim Webb's lack of character.

    Am I getting it so far?

    Good. Let's continue.

    Senator Allen and many of his fellow right wing parrots never served in Vietnam or in any war for that matter and one of the only Republicans who did in fact serve in Vietnam is actually on the record claiming the book is a vivid depiction of the some of the war's atrocities.

    Got it. But wait...

    Senator Allen, meanwhile, made a cameo appearance in the awful movie Gods and Generals (in the interest of fairness, Stephen Lang, who played Stonewall Jackson, was brilliant). Gods and Generals, apart from being a preachy love letter to the Confederacy with an editorial pace which made it seem only about two minutes shorter than the actual war, contained repeated instances of the word "darkies" to describe slaves while glorifying the generals who engaged in what technically amounted to an organized military and political insurrection against the United States. Senator Allen is seen in the movie singing the Bonnie Blue Flag lyric, "Hurrah! Hurrah! For Southern rights, hurrah!" implying, in part, the right to own slaves. Senator Allen, when you boil it right down, portrayed a traitor against the United States. An insurgent, if you will.


    Yet few would be insane enough to indict Allen for this, other than his taste in writer/directors. It was a movie about actual events and actual behavior in Virginia during the American Civil War. He was involved in a production which fictionalized actual historical events -- events which included the ugliness of American war. Even after repeated allegations of racism, no-one I can think of has actually made an argument against Allen based on his Gods and Generals appearance. If anything, the Republicans could've made a gigantic hoohah over the fact that Allen appeared in the same scene as "far-left secular progressive" Ted Turner who, by the way, financed the movie and portrayed a Confederate officer.

    That said, Senator Allen has again exposed his own lack of character and, more than anything, his myriad of political weaknesses in this latest desperate smear of his opponent. Allen dressed up in the mustache and the butternut uniform in a movie about the Civil War. Webb actually served meritoriously in the Vietnam war. Allen pretended to be a soldier which is as close as he ever came to actual military service. Webb described ugly truths he witnessed in wartime and its aftermath.

    Now tell me -- because maybe I'm missing it -- does Senator Allen and his chickenhawk supporters in the wingnut media have a leg to stand on? Does Lynn Cheney, who's written salacious books and whose husband received five deferments from the draft during Vietnam ("Dick did not"), have any right to impugn Jim Webb on CNN? Do the hypocrite roster. It's not too difficult. Check out some of Arnold's movies. Check out what the president and others did while members of Yale's Skull & Bones society.

    At the end of the day, the Rove Republicans have once again highlighted how shameless they can truly be. Not only have they brazenly and without remorse attacked the patriotism of decorated veterans like Max Cleland and Senator McCain, but now they're attacking a decorated veteran who wrote about the war. They've ripped these passages out of context for the easily led masses and posted them on Drudge. Then, in the most ridiculous strategic move in this outrageous stratagem, they pooped out Lynn Cheney and dumped her in CNN's lap to perpetuate this trumped up outrage against a Vietnam war veteran.

    Now Jim Webb, a well-vetted Reagan appointee, has been forced to defend his stories of the war. Likewise, Michael J. Fox has been forced to defend his Parkinson's symptoms. What kind of party is this which controls our entire government and most of our media right now? It's surely a party which hasn't deserved a single second of that kind of success. And the only reason why they've managed to attain this power is very simply because they're good at, as Karl Rove quoted from City Slickers this week, "one thing." That one thing is manipulation. They manipulate you and everyone they encounter through fear, deception and ignorance of the truth. They manipulate good people into defending themselves when no defense would otherwise have been required.

    I think I've grasped this now. Thanks for your patience.

    A final note to anyone who's written about the atrocities of the Iraq War and who plans to one day serve in politics. Delete now -- especially if there's a chapter about Abu Ghraib containing the phrase "naked men smeared with feces forming a human pyramid." Who knows what brand of futuristic cyberwingnut will try to nail you on it.

    M.J.Fox lied in his partisan campaign ad for the democrats.Failing to reveal he did not take medication for the commercial shoots and failing to mention the Prop.measure was for human cloning.Fox would kill a million babies if it meant he could live one extra day.A fucking ghoul who cries like a baby caught lying.

    Nobody, NOBODY,forced Webb to write books about incestous pedophelia !!!

    And nowhere,NOWHERE,is it culturally acceptable for a father so suck his pre-pubescent child`s penis. It is rape and sexual assault.What the fuck is going on in Webb`s head.

    Foley sent emails to teenagers in DC where the age of consent is 16. No law was broken but Foley resigned.

    Webb has to stand up,be a man,and also resign from politics.

    Swiftboats? The entire coastal division 11 came out against Kerry,except for 2 or 3.What is there not to understand.

    Webb is toast. "Rove made me write those books about pedophelic incest" !? A-Ha-Haa

    So good to see the neo-marxist left crucify a man for sending emails to teenagers when the age of consent in DC is 16 at the exact same time defend NAMBLA and Webb

    The desperation of the neo-con chickenhawks and their sheep and stooges is clearly growing....

    From Webb's statement

    Webb responded Friday morning on Washington Post radio. "Let me explain what that was," he said. "I actually saw this happen in a slum of Bangkok and when I was there as a journalist. A man placing his lips on his son's private parts. ... And the duty of a writer is to illuminate the surroundings.

    "There is nothing that's been in any of my novels that, in my view, hasn't been either illuminating surroundings or defining a character or moving a plot," Webb said.

    *****
    Webb told Washington Post radio that to pull excerpts from his writings "and force them on people, sort of, like pound them over the head with them," rather than having someone read the entire book "is just a classic example of the way this [Allen] campaign has worked. And you know, it's smear after smear."

    "This is a Karl Rove campaign," Webb said, referring to President Bush's chief political strategist. "We have known this one was coming for quite some time."

    Webb said advisers had warned him his opponent would pore over his novels to find incendiary passages. Webb accused Allen of not having "a record to run on" and attempting "character assassination."


    and this-

    Jim Webb Wrote Truth About Vietnam and Spoke Truth About Iraq
    Brent Budowsky

    Jim Webb has received extraordinary praise even from his opponents for his extraordinary heroism leading those under his command in the United States Marine Corps in Vietnam. Like most true American heroes, Jim Webb does not praise himself for being awarded medals and honors for bravery and valor in service that would make every American proud of him.

    Jim Webb has served brilliantly at a high level in the Department of Defense and as Secretary of the Navy, and within hours of his election and swearing in, would be one of the most respected, wise and influential members of the Senate.

    JIm Webb's writings have been praised by John McCain, and by the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, who has recommended Webb's words to our young troops, risking their lives in service.

    In my opinion, the truth is, Jim Webb's writings about Vietnam are almost as important as the medals he was awarded in war, and the service he gave to our military in government.

    Jim Webb returned from Vietnam determined to tell his story, his way, and to the tell the story of the Corps, of the miitary, of the men and women who stood with him in the face of real bullets and real bombs in a real war in Vietnam, in which our government did our troops little service, in which our goverment told our people little truth, in which brave men and women died in large measure because of failures in Washington.

    Sound familiar?


    Jim Webb returned from Vietnam with a passion and eloquence for truth about war, with an intense drive to let the broader world at home know the way it really was.

    Jim Webb returned from Vietnam with a determination and passion to tell the story of the heroism of those who fought those battles, those with names that now rest proudly on that Wall within sight of the White House, those who pay a price with trauma that continues today and those who live on grates as our homeless heroes, neglected by a society that does not give enough of a damn, considering how much they gave us, and how high a price they paid.

    Jim Webb's writings about Vietnam are brave, hard, true, inspiring, depressing, outraging, lifting, eloquent, sad, disgusting, courageous, noble, brilliant, sickening, educating, ugly and honorable because they speak truth to power. They speak truth to the powerless. They speak truth of war. They speak truth to our troops and about our troops. Above all, they speak truth to us and about us, when we send our sons and our daughters to war, but do not do our duty at home.

    Well, isn't this interesting? A few years ago, back before Jim Webb had the audacity to challenge George Allen for U.S. Senate, the right-wing FreeRepublic.com, which bills itself as "A Conservative News Forum," came up with its "Military History and Strategy Readling List." Guess what? Alongside "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "Blackhawk Down" were the following suggestions:

    *"Anything written by James Webb."
    *"Amen on James Webb. Fields of Fire, particularly."


    George Allen attacked Jim Webb's classic Vietnam War novel, "Fields of Fire." In doing so, George Allen didn't just attack Jim Webb. George Allen didn't just attack literature. George Allen also attacked the Marine Corps, which lists "Fields of Fire" as part of its Professional Reading Program. According to the Marine Corps, "Fields of Fire" is one of the books that are "required to be read by all Marines while serving in the grade shown." "Fields of Fire" is listed under "Corporal to Sergeant"

    The GOP is just evil. And every time the American people are really farkin' stupid to believe the shit they pull out of their asses.

    SBVFT Guy: "Yeah, hey, I knew that dude when I was young and he was would, like, bite cat's testicles off, man!"

    And, once again, the WAPO is right there to lend a hand. Unreal.

    Oh, and...

    “James Webb’s new novel paints a portrait of a modern Vietnam charged with hopes for the future but haunted by the ghosts of its war-torn past. It captures well the lingering scars of the war, and exposes the tension between the dynamism of a new generation and the invisible bondage of an older generation for whom wartime allegiances, and animosities, are rendered no less vivid by the passage of time. A novel of revenge and redemption that tells us much about both where Vietnam is headed and where it has been.”
    — Senator John McCain


    And....


    The authoritative Growing Up: A Cross-Cultural Encyclopedia covers 87 cultures in which it says there is no incest, just adults playing with, stroking, masturbating and sucking their baby's genitals: "Truk adults play with an infant's genitals...In China, Manchu mothers tickle the genitals of their little daughters and suck the penis of a small son...in Thailand, a Banoi mother habitually strokes her son's genitals."


    And...

    "It's not a sexual act," Webb told Plotkin regarding the "Lost Soldiers" excerpt. "I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok when I was there as a journalist. The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings."
