Macaca campaign tries to tar Webb with obviously false "n-word' allegation

Webb takes a turn on the hot seat
The George Allen campaign steers reporters to a source who says Jim Webb used the "N-word" and harassed blacks 40 years ago.

By Michael Scherer

Sept. 29, 2006 | WASHINGTON -- Virginia's Democratic Senate candidate, Jim Webb, fended off allegations Thursday that he admitted 23 years ago to using a racial epithet and threatening black residents of Los Angeles as a teenager, adding an unexpected twist to the charges of racism that have been building against his opponent, Sen. George Allen.

Daniel Cragg, a former acquaintance of Webb who supports Allen, says that he remembers Webb telling him in a 1983 interview about college trips to the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles 20 years earlier, when Webb allegedly said he would harass black residents. At the time, Cragg, who said he was friendly with Webb at the time, was working on a story for a now-defunct conservative magazine, the National Vietnam Veterans Review.

Cragg said he expected to find evidence of the conversation on an audiotape of the interview, but the tape contained no such reference. "Either I turned the recorder off, or later I sat down and I deleted it," claimed Cragg, in an interview with Salon on Thursday.

1. That doesn't even ring any kind of probable

As a white member of a bi-racial family who lived for a time (in the 70's) in the Bed-Sty section of Brooklyn I can imagine no scenario more improbable than a white college kid carrying an unloaded rifle into a predominantly poor black neighborhood and shouting racial epithets at the locals.

It sounds like pure fantasy to me.

2. Felix Macaca can't catch a break...

3. How stupid would a white man have to be

to go to Watts and harrass Blacks in the 60's when the anger was building? I don't think even macacca is that stupid.

4. Ah, they're stooping to using the "he did it too" defense.

How pathetically typical. :eyes: What's next, a report that Webb put a severed deer head in someone's mailbox?

5. It's already been denied by the roommate

of Webb in the Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/28/AR2006092801835.html

9. Webb wasn't responsible for "macaca"

and wasn't responsible for Allen's heritage problem, and Webb isn't responsible for Allen's "N-word" problems.
