[this is sad]

My other issue is with "Born Fighting". By all accounts, Jim Webb was born healthy. Isn't this just a little insensative to children born with serious illness, like my nephew who was in an inncubator for 3 weeks, fighting to hang on? Also, why do we want someone born fighting? I want someone who will be an effective congressional leader, not someone who constantly feels the need to butt heads.

Vivian, you want Webb to take over Miller's email list? Is that right? Have you asked if Miller is willing to hand over his list to Webb? let aside the fact that he asked for support for Webb.

I used to work for the DNC. Getting candidates to release their email list to opponents is very difficult sometimes. candidates hold these contact lists like they're the holy grail. Does John Kerry come to mind to you? The DNC has pleaded, begged him on numerous occasions to release his gigantic 2004 email list that ALL supporters helped him build, to the DNC for voter mobilization and fundraising. John Kerry has REFUSED every single time.

You don't know what has transpired in the Miller campaign. Do you know if Harris Miller has also refused to release his email list permanently to Webb??? Do you???? You are jumping the gun here not knowing what is going on.

[winconservative]

Harris Miller has a lot more charater than I would have if I were in his shoes. Hell would freeze over before I gave Webb my email list or any other lists after the way that he was treated in the primaries. Iam obviously not a democrat but I think the only reason Miller is supporting Webb is to hopefully gain Webb's supporters3 favor when he runs for gov or lt. gov in 3 years.

[Lewis Armistead]

George Washington would new Jew bait the way Our 'Dear Leader' James Webb has.

Lewis, have you considered increasing your medication?

Oh yes, keep attacking the people who point out how obviously anti-Semitic that Webb cartoon is.

What a great way to alienate everyone away from the campaign.

Keep showing the world the stuff you're really made of because you are leaving the opposition with not much leg work.

[DukieDem]

Don't give me that PC bullshit "I'm offended by born fighting." It's the title of his book and it's an expression for his culture. I don't think Webb is going to hit the Senate floor and challenge Senators to wrestling matches, although that would be entertaining.

anon 11:22

Is that you Baghdad Bob?

The Repubs are pretty silly.

no...

And BTW that cartoon has been flying around to every Jewish group around the nation.

They are all united in the response:

"I MY G-D!!!"

Are you ready for the undertow?

My guess is, I think not!

[Not Steve Jarding]

Why not issue a simple apology for the cartoon?

And, why not take the highroad by admitting that it was wrong and fire the person responsible?

That would show true values.

But don't you know NSJ, old Muddy is "personally offended" by anyone who takes offense to his Hitler style anti-Semitism....

haha. Webb apologized for the cartoon twice to Miller.

Hi there Baghdad Bob

[Not Steve Jarding]

Muddy is already a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, perhaps he is a closet Klan member too.

The neocons are in a tizzy.

Dick Wadhams would be proud!

Being investigated as we speak, NSJ....

Did you also know that Ms. Kristian Denny-Todd also worked on the Communications Director of The Webb campaign aka perseverando.blogspot.com also worked on the campaign of SC Senator Ernest Hollings.

Here is a little tidbit about Hollings:

http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/5/prweb128622.htm

He doesn't seem to be a big fan of Jews either.

Quite a "Bund" this Webb campaign is turning out to be.

Hmmmmm....?

American Board of Rabbis is a Republican Astroturf pseudogroup. Nice try, Karl Rove.

[Not Steve Jarding]

"What a man owns, comes home." -- Stephen King, Pet Cemetary

Hollings served as an officer in the U.S. Army's 323rd and 457th Artillery units from 1942 to 1945, during World War II, and was awarded the Bronze Star.

Hollings is war hero who fought the Nazis, not helped them. Stop the blood lies you Allenite sickos!

http://cjisprod1.courts.state.va.us:9080/CJISWeb/CaseDetail.do

Muddy?

Hollings is on every list of every anti-racist action group in the nation.

This isn't party politics, Bucky, .... a lot more people are watching this situation than just Allen folks and disgrunted Miller people.

The red flags are up and there are people and groups you have never heard of investigating what is going in this campaign.

This has blown it'self out of the beltway, out of Virginia and there are many liberal groups who don't give a rat's ass who has a damned *D* after their name, because some things are unexceptable.

[Virginia's Right Stuff]

If you know anything about the man who designed the Miller cartoon, then you'll know that the cartoon is anti-semetic.

VRS- Stanley or Muddy?

What right to Republican chickenhawks have to attack war heros?

[Told you so]

In defense of the Webb Campaign Staff. According to folks I know on the campaign it's the candidate who doesn't have a clue. Anyone who has really worked on a campaign (ie. phone and door volunteers that doesn't mean you) knows that the worst campaign manager is the candidate and that's whats happening. He won't get on the phone and raise money, he doesn't like to go greet voters... When it comes down to it, Resumes don't raise money or talk to voters. hmmm... reminds me of a dem I supported in 04 - Clark

What right to Republicans who are Democrat wannabes have to attack the Jewish people?

We have enough phony extroverted bought and paid for puppets in Congress already.

ha. George Felix Allen who proudly hangs a noose in his office. I bet a lot of new transplants in NoVA haven't heard that. time for them to get e refresher course.

Allen is a throwback 1960's racist. There's so much ammo against Felix Allen. He virulently opposed MLK holiday.

Now is the time to blast out Felix "Racist dragging her sister up the stairs by her hair" Allen to all the new Virginians. I sent Felix's racist background to all the media outlets on a blast email. Can't wait for felix to start squealing like the racist pansy that he is.

Told you so:

how many times are you going to hide behind a moniker, Alice Marshall?

[Virginia's Right Stuff]

in response to the 12:26, I was referring to Stanley. I wrote a little article about it on my blog. Nothing new really.

And as far as Mudcat is concerned, he's just a dumb and drunk hillbilly for all I care.

If Allen is a racist, he will get his too, this isn't party poltics, this is Anti Racist Action.

But, Allen has not put out a cartoon that is a match up for anti-Semitic 1930's Nazi propaganda.

You show us Allen's racist campaigning and he will suffer too.

I'm not voting for either clown.

I am voting against the gay hate scam and calling it a day.

Has Allen caught the disease his supporters are spreading?

Any person with any background in Virginia politics knows that George Allen actively campaigned in the black community in 1993 and received a larger percentage of the black vote than most Republicans in Virginia normally do.

So, any attempt to cast him as a racist falls flat. Folks know better.

But, Webb's cartoon depicting him as the big bad GI Joe doll with the kung-fu grip next to the caricature of Miller is something that will have a self-life longer than anything else from this campaign.

So we're really sticking with the "Felix" thing, huh? Swell.

Has anyone notices how that Webb cartoon has Webb dressed up in a light brown shirt, black pants and boots?

And right next to him it says "The Solution"!!

The only thing missing is the red armband!!

Felix le Chat !!!

Not to mention George Allen isn't even a "Jr." - his dad's middle name was Herbert.

"James H. Webb, Jr." is what actually appeared on the primary ballot, so at least it makes some kind of sense when Wadhams says that.

Has anyone noticed that Felix Allen, Jr. dresses up in a tight up your arse jeans, a bedspread-like colored chinese-made wrangler shirt, and fake sweatshop cowboy boots?

The only thing missing is the noose hanging on his belt. Watch out black folks!! Felix's coming for ya!

Was Hitler a "Jr" too?

Heck, like it matters....

I beleive the Allenites brought up the "bund" references first. So, on a technicality, the argument has been won by the Webbies.

Score so far ...
Webb: 3
Allen : 0

I dunno. Given Allen's past staffing scandals, I think he's probably the cowboy guy from the Village People.

No, it doesn't matter, but it is a symptom of the campaign's general sloppiness.

[Told you so]

do you think alice marshall knows anyone on the webb campaign or for that matter knows anything about campaigns? answer is no. But the fact is that Webb is the problem not his staff.

[Virginia's Right Stuff]

It's getting tiring to hear Democrats call Allen a racist. Has he released any cartoons which slammed a minority? No, but his opponent did.

Anon 12:44

I bet ya a lot of new voters in NoVa haven't heard about Felix" I'll hang you with my noose fake Dixiecrat" Allen.

Felix's racist anti-MLK holiday background is going to be TRUMPETED to many new voters EVERYWERE. Sweet!!!

[Not Steve Jarding]

My Franklin County sources also tell me that Joe Stanley, a Webb staffer, is a racist and anti-semite.

There are certain folks in Franklin and Henry County who have been members of the KKK -- in the past. So, the sentiment still lingers.

If there is any doubt that cariacature was anti-Semitic, from a purely common sense standpoint, Stanley demonstrated himself to be a complete idiot.

There is no winning or losing.

The problem is there is a politician in mainstream politics who has put out literature that mirrors that of hate groups.

There are no winners or losers in this, there is hate and bigotry being used against an ethnic group that is unexceptable.

When scratching the surface more we are finding Webb staff who have a history of being involved with the campaigns of anti-Semites.

Screw your campaigns and screw your politics.

We have watched Republicans scapegoat gays and immigrants and now Democrats are scapegoating Jews AND according to the Muddy playbook jumping on the immigrant hate band wagon.

If I had it my way, we'd flush every one of you down the toilet as you are all crap.

We don't care if you have a *D* or an *R* next to your name.

If you start attacking any group of people based on race, gender or sexual orientation, you're going down!

Run for your lives black folks if you see Felix Allen crossing the street.

I heard Felix the dixiecrat loves experimenting with black folks necks! Sadistic!

NAACP, tell your members to shout their doors when Felix"hanging noose" Allen passes by.

Before he hangs you, Felix Jr loves to drag you up the stairs like he did to his own sister. Run for cover, black folks and Hispanics. Felix is hungry for "colored" necks.

"Felix the dixiecrat"

Muddy is the real dixiecrat. Grand Wizard Muddy!

NLS, new thread, please !!!

The problem is there is an elected Virginia US senator who hangs a noose in his office that mirrors that of hate group.

We have watched Republicans scapegoat gays, blacks, native Americans and immigrants and now George Felix Allen, Jr is scapegoating "colored" folks AND according to the Wadhams and Howell hitler playbook jumping on black and colored AMERICANS and immigrant hate band wagon.

So, I guess the African Americans supporting him, including a former member of his cabinet Kay Cole James would be Uncle Tom's?

Is that your contention?

I got a call today that Felix "the racist, sadistic throws his younger brother through a glass door shattering his face" Allen, Jr is looking for soft, young black and hispanic necks to "test". Get out of Virginia black folks, go NORTH to escape this sadistic, cruel 1930's proud racist hangman, George Felix Allen, Jr.

RUN!!!!

Both Republicans and Democrats have a horrile history of scapegoating and bigotry.

We will check out the noose story.

But, don't think just because a candidate is a *D* they are a Dem of the civil rights movement.

From the looks of the Muddy playbook, he wants to recreate the party from BEFORE it became the party of civil rights.

That's NOT GOOD!

I blasted an email to all the major newspapers today to request that they inform ALL new residents especially in NOVA about Felix Allen the hangman.

Ahh, Virginians.

George Felix Allen, Jr is teaching a course this summer and fall at UVA, VaTech and GMU. The courses?

HANGING NOOSE 101 -
How to prepare a noose for use in hanging colored folks

As Joe Stanley and Muddy prepare continue drafting the Webb campaign's version of "the final solution" from their lair along the Roanoke County/Franklin Countyline, Steve Jarding studies the works of Joseph Goebbels.

Downgrade NLS to 99.3% accurate?
Downgrade Allenites to 00.3% accurate?

so far.

[this is sad]

Does Harris Miller even smoke cigars? The cartoon portrayed him smoking one.

As George Felix Allen,Jr continues to prepare drafting the Allen campaign's version of "the final solution" from their lair along the Roanoke County/Franklin Countyline, Scott Howell and Dick Wadhams studies the works of Adolf Hitler and Idi Amin.

Look who else is from Roanoke!

http://overthrow88.blogspot.com/

The head of the Nazi Party!!

anon 1:24 PM

I'll take a pass at HANGING NOOSE 101. Scary!

Allen is one sick MOFO. First time hearing about him dragging his sister by the hair? Disgusting piece of shit.

Wait until the stories of Webb's illegimate children hit.

[Vivian J. Paige]

anon 10:48 - for whatever reason, you seem to be missing the point. My last try: Webb has done NOTHING to try to attract Miller supporters. I didn't say take over Miller's list. I said send an email to Miller's supporters. Miller has pledged his support to Webb - that much is clear. So asking Miller to send a Webb email out isn't a major thing. I get emails on behalf of candidates from other candidates all the time. I just got one from David Ashe on behalf of Phil Kellam. No, you don't turn over your list, but you do use it to help.

[Al]

Vivian - Just ignore it. These people are idiots.

I don't care about illegit kids, fights with siblings or who has "Jr" after their name.

I care about racism and it is growing in this country and it is growing in both poltical parties.

The Webb campaign has sent up dozens of red flags with that cartoon.

What I can't beleive is how none of his people can see anything wrong with it.

It's like watching the Bush people convince American that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.

If you say it enough and bully people enough it will make this cartoon right?

That won't work this time.

Le Grande Whine du Chateau Georges Felix - toujours effete.

Vivian, for whatever reason, you seem to be missing the point. My last try:

Do you know if the Webb campaign has asked to send an email to Miller's supporters and Miller campaign has refused? Don't ASSUME that Webb campaign hasn't asked. No one knows.

And as for your one of a kind "Webb has done NOTHING to try to attract Miller supporters" statement, the Webb campaign has been calling the leaders who endorsed Miller and asking for their support. They have been doing this on day one after the primary. So stop making up stuff you don't know.

You can play around with all the words you like, it won't make that cartoon go away.

That cartoon is going national!

You can play around with all the words you like, it won't make that hanging noose go away.

That hanging noose is going national! Felix Allen Jr, forget about 2008. When people hear about your putrid, racist, sadistic(to your own sister and brother) background, they are gonna drop you like diseased stone in a polluted pond.

I hear Georgie Felix Allen, Jr is on Ebay looking for a fresh noose to buy.

He's also looking for "colored" folks necks in Richmond.

Fine, go to town, I'm not an Allen supporter, if he is a racist, let's tear the man up.

But, this cartoon is one of the most offensive pieces of mainstream political campaign literature.

And the public needs to know if there is a problem in our nation's political system regarding this kind of racism.

We are not doing this for Allen, we are doing this for the civil rights this nation is supposed to be about.

You are so caught up in your little Webb, you don't know who you are talking to.

[Southsider]

Why no discussion of the Webb campaign's internal poll released today?

Good for Webb is that he's only down by 7%. Bad for Webb is that he's down by 7% in a poll with a very favorable methodology, Allen has a 51% approval (in Webb's poll) and 56% of VAs say things are going in the right direction.

Classic good news bad news poll.

Southsider, you must be an Insider to know about any poll.

Post the poll here and we'll take your word as gold.

Vivian -

Grow up and don't take yourself so seriously. Just because the Webb campaign doesn't kiss your a**, it doesn't mean they arn't doing anything.

Give us the login info Southsider. can't access your document.

[Lewis Armistead]

Vivian looks like a San Fran dyke.

[Southsider]

Sorry, can't do that.

Here's what matters. Poll was taken Benenson (Democratic polling group) for Webb.

Head to head Allen 46, Webb 39, don't know 15.

Allen has a 90% name ID, Webb has 42%

51% rate Allen as Excellent/Good Senator.

36% rate Bush as Excellent/Good President.

56% say VA is going in right direction (31% for country).

Race is tied when "positive profile of each" is read.

Truth is, an internal poll like this being at 7% pretty much in and of itself shows the Zogby poll to be a little goofy.

Lewis, you are a big contemptible FUCKING idiot. No wonder RK banned your stupid ass. That was completely uncalled for.

Has mommy taken you to the ZOO today, Lewis Armistead?

[kath]

Verifying, with this detail:

The statistical dead heat with postive profile:

Webb 44%, Allen 43%

Not a joke: "Strange" and "Petty" are Lewis's other nicks on the web.

***Allen has a 90% name ID, Webb has 42%. ****

That's the kicker and all that matters. Webb has a lot of room to improve and build solid name ID.

[Anonymous Is A Woman]

I am Jewish, I have seen the cartoon in question and I have seen Harris Miller. The cartoon was not anti-semitic. It actually was a fairly accurate depiction of how Mr. Miller looks. He has Jewish features, including a prominent nose.

I do too. I once paid one of those street corner caricaturists that you always find in artsy tourist locations to do a quick caricature of me. And guess what, I looked Jewish too in that picture.

What was being made fun of in the cartoon was Miller's lobbying career supporting outsourcing. Webb was portrayed as the Superhero who was going to protect the American worker from outsourcing by rich corporate executives.

Also, Perserverando (Joe Stanley) continually does parodies of politicians and bloggers on his blog.

There are many political cartoonists whose drawings are far broader parodies of their subjects than this one was. If their subjects happened to be Jewish, would that make them anti-semitic too?

Can a political cartoonist never parody a Jewish politician who has Jewish features?

And why are the people going into overdrive mostly non-Jews? Despite the claims of some of the anonymous posters, and of course, Lewis Armistead, no Jew that I've heard has objected so far when they've found out the whole story and actually seen what Harris Miller looks like.

Also, this may shock some of those who protest too much, but as a Jew I think Harris Miller and I look fine with our Jewish features. I hope that, like me, he doesn't want to look like a WASP.

I see nothing so special about straight blond hair, blue eys, snub noses, and thin lips. I challenge the culture that says that such features are the only acceptable form of beauty. Just as black is beautiful, so is Jewish, Hispanic, and every other ethnicity. Of course, that does include the typical Anglo-Saxon features too. I don't mean to cast aspersions on anybody's looks or ethnicity. I'm only saying no one group has the corner on beauty.

Oh and on last thing about the supposed anti-semtisim in that cartoon. Lewis, you obviously are an admirer of a Confederate officer. I am assuming that the moniker you use is not your real name. So, um, perhaps you are not the best aribter of what is or isn't anti-semitism compared to a real, actual Jew.

If you were, perhaps you would use the pen name Judah Benjamin rather than Lewis Armistead.

[Lewis Armistead]

For the record, the real Lewis Armistead (the one writing this entry) did not anything about Vivian.

It was an imposture.

My humble apologies to Vivian for whoever wrote that comment.

When I slam someone, it will be for effect.

To me, hacks and candidates are fair game -- not volunteers.

[Southsider]

Allen's positives and high name ID (even in an obviously slanted poll) indicate that his numbers are unlikely to decay much. The question, therefore, becomes whether Webb can improve his numbers amongst undecideds enough to make it close. That is an unanswered question of now.

[Webb Defeats Allen]

A few points here:

1. Webb has not yet begun to fight. Everyone in Virginia knows George Felix Allen, nobody knows Jim Webb. All I can do at this point is sit back and smile. To know Jim Webb is to love him. To know George Felix Allen is to lament lost potential.

2. I've never seen a thread so full of hatespeech. The anonymous commenters on this thread are a discredit to the VA political blogsphere.

3. Webb suppoters take heart. The Webb campaign is about to become an endless fountain of good news for the Democratic Party, Virginia and the Nation.

It's springtime in Virginia.

[Virginian]

I hope no one thinks this race is actually going to be about small donations from 5-6 years ago from the likes of Enron and Abramoff. We'll have to come up with better than that.

Anonymous Is A Woman: don't waste your energy on the Allenites.
