The Israel Firsters were all in favor of the Iraq war. Webb predicted in 2002 what a disaster it would be.
Thanks for the link.
Also I stumbled across quite a few links to op-ed colums by and articles about Jim Webb. He definitely sounds more pro-America. His son is serving in Iraq so he has a personal perspective too. He stuck up for Murtha when the Dimwits and the Repukes were dumping on Murtha for his common sense non-PC suggestion for a timetable of withdrawal.
Mike Stark, 38, a liberal blogger and first-year University of Virginia law student, approached Allen, loudly asking him "Why did you spit at your first wife, George?" according to witnesses.
WHDH-TV reported Stark's question. I wonder if any of the other media will report it.

Probably not or if it is reported, Mike Stark will be dismissed as a "disgruntled" voter or perhaps it will be implied that Stark is a generic loose-cannon...I used to believe that the MSM were Democrat cheerleaders, but now I have come to believe that while it's true that reporters themselves may vote Democrat most of the time, their bosses want to maintain ACCESS for their employers to politicians currently in power or likely to gain power soon. In this case, since incumbents have such an unfair advantage in re-election campaigns, the MSM bosses are placing their bets where the odds are favorable - they don't want to burn bridges with Allen quite yet. Webb is fighting an uphill battle. The issue of Allen not being being an IsraelFirster and actually leaving the GOP because of the negative influence of the neocons and because the MSM owners are IsraelFirsters themselves...it will be tough for Webb to get any help from the MSM all in all, unless the spread gets better - like 10 points - then middle managers in MSM may lean towards building access to the new winner and the reporters will be allowed to report some dirt on Allen at the last minute. But the point spread has to look better than it does now.
