Entry: What the Hell Happened to Jim? -- James Webb Talks Like Pat Buchanan, Votes Like Harry Reid Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/what_the_hell_happened_to_jim_james_webb_talks_like_pat_buchanan_votes_like#20489 Post contents: I admired James Webb for his courage and wisdom in his critique of the neoconservatives in his essays in the neocon mouthpiece known as the Wall Street Journal. He attacked the chicken-hawks for advocating wars against the enemies of Israel fought principally by southern whites while the children of the elite avoided military service. Here is James Webb sounding like Pat Buchanan: "the most vicious ethnic slur of the presidential campaign came from Charles Krauthammer, after Howard Dean suggested that the Democrats needed to reach out to the "guys with the Confederate flags on their pickup trucks." Mr. Krauthammer, who has never complained about this ethnic group when it has marched off to fight the wars he wishes upon us, wrote that Mr. Dean "wants the white trash vote . . . that's clearly what he meant," and that he was pandering to "rebel-yelling racist rednecks." It is sad to read about Mr. Webb's performance in the Senate. Sent at: 2008 05 16
