Here We Go
by admin ~ July 29th, 2009.Now, Jim Webb gets his ass chapped on the “n” bomb. Three quotes –
“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 or another in their life.”
“I have never issued a racial or ethnic slur.”
“I have never used that word in my general vocabulary or in any derogatory way.”
And now, yet another worm from the woodwork:
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.”
And I’m sure Webb never used the term “gook.”
This is crap.
If we can forget the transgressions of Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), the former KKK Kleagle who once vowed never to fight “with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” and who dropped the “n” bomb in 2001 in a television interview, I think Webb and Allen should be given a pass on this nonsense.
