The Webb Campaign Staff vs. the Allen Campaign Staff

By: Lowell
Published On: 9/21/2006 10:00:01 AM

With all the nonsense and nastiness spewing from the mouths of Dick Wadhams and all the other non-Jewish, male Allen staffers (and affiliated bloggers), I thought you'd be interested to know that, currently, the Webb HQ staff has:

*8 Jewish staffers, Josh and myself included

It also has:

*3 African American staffers (deputy campaign manager, Veterans coordinator, African American outreach coordinator)

*A dozen or more female staffers, including the CAMPAIGN MANAGER, the DEPUTY CAMPAIGN MANAGER, the FINANCE DIRECTOR, the COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, the PRESS SECRETARY, the heads of the HAMPTON ROADS and RICHMOND FIELD OFFICES, and many others.

Just for comparison, I wonder how many Jewish Americans, African American, other "Ethnic Americans," and female staffers the Allen campaign has, especially in key leadership positions?  Uh, uh, uh.  'Nuff said.

Well, Allen has the $$ (phriendlyjaime - 9/21/2006 10:10:25 AM)
he should go hire some more staffers.  Hey, maybe he should recruit some people he met at his completely offensive and derogatory "ethnic fest" he had and put them on the payroll in order to make himself look less racist and whiny.


Well, he has an ex-libertarian on the staff (PM - 9/21/2006 10:35:57 AM)
And they are pretty much a really small minority.

I have a few questions. 

1. Was Wadhams the first person to use paid bloggers, in the Thune race?

2. Why did he wait so long to hire them in this race?

3.  Was he the first to use a fictitious news service for his paid bloggers to cite in their blogs?  (Talon, and Mr. Gannon, in the Thune race.)

4. Are the trolls who visit this site part of his paid blogging staff?

will spin this into some further evidence that the Webb campaign is a hate filled and anti-Semitic effort.

You and Josh et al are obviously self-loathing Jews..........



Yeah, good point. Growing up, I hated (Lowell - 9/21/2006 11:03:07 AM)
all 4 of my Jewish grandparents, all my Jewish cousins, my Jewish parents and siblings, my Jewish rabbi, my Jewish classmates in Hebrew School, and my Jewish friends when I lived in Israel for 6 months.  Yep, I'm a self-hating Jew, no doubt about it.  Time for more therapy by...of course, a Jewish psychotherapist!! :)


No, Wadhams' Next Plan Is (PM - 9/21/2006 11:01:40 AM)
to spread the rumor that candidate Webb is the same Jim Webb who wrote that horrible MacArthur Park song.  (Someone left the cake out in the rain . . .

Oh, Lowell, if you ever get asked about whether you approve of bulimia as a way to control your weight, don't bite.  They'll accuse you of being anti-emetic.



Everyone saw this coming from 20 miles away (JennyE - 9/21/2006 11:13:29 AM)
Even before Allen's latest revelation, Wadhams had mentioned in some article after the m____ incident first broke that they were going to go this route. And the lazy Times Dispatch gulps up Wadhams sleaze like a hungry day old duckling.

I wrote Jeff Schapiro to complain about his article. The media should be a responsible, thoughtful entity and not a press release organ for sleaze politics.

Schapiro's contact info is below. Write to express your displeasure especially with his ridiculous headline.

I wrote him too. (Bubby - 9/21/2006 12:25:26 PM)
For all the good it will do.  And newspapers wonder why their readership is declining.  Oy Vey!

Traditional Haggis (Loudoun County Dem - 9/21/2006 11:53:50 AM)
  1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag)

  2 lb.. dry oatmeal

  1 lb. suet

  1 lb. lamb's liver

  2 1/2 cups stock

  1 large chopped onion

  1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt

Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

Allen trolls (JennyE - 9/21/2006 11:58:33 AM)
It doesn't take much to figure out that "4TheGipper" is the same person writing under "theblackamerican".

What a sad lot.



Aye, that's good eating (Doug Garnett-Deakin - 9/21/2006 12:13:54 PM)


Bush and Allen have seriously hurt Israel, as far as (Lowell - 9/21/2006 12:07:00 PM)
I'm concerned, by abandoning any efforts at brokering peace between Israel and its neighbors.  Also, their invasion of Iraq has strengthened Israel's archenemy, Iran.  Great job.

By the way, if I were an Israeli (which I could be, since I'm Jewish), I would not be a member of the right-wing Likud Party.  You obviously would be.  In other words, if we were both Israelis, I'd still disagree with you on pretty much everything, and think what you write is really really dumb. 

By the way, it's "Webb" with two b's.  Is that so difficult?



Peace in Middle East (blackamerican - 9/21/2006 12:12:19 PM)
Do you really believe that peace can be achieved with an enemy who has identified that their goal in life is to witness your total destruction? 


Thanks (4TheGipper - 9/21/2006 12:12:35 PM)
Lowell

Thanks for refocusing the group on the issues and not on mindless things like someone's race.  One thing I have to admit is that your blog site is the most interesting.  I just believe that it does no one any good (especially minorites) to focus on race, instead of policies. 



stand corrected (4TheGipper - 9/21/2006 12:15:13 PM)
"Webb"  I'm terrible at typing, so excuse the occassional typos.


For you information (Arturo - 9/21/2006 12:20:53 PM)
Webb supports Affirmative Action.  Allen is the one who is against Affirmative Action. 

Allen supports "Affirmative Recruitment", whatever that means.  Probably a term he just made up.



You've got to be kidding? (Todd Smyth - 9/21/2006 1:16:35 PM)
Webb said Affirmative Action was too limited and became watered down by folding in every group except WASPs. It was supposed to be originally for the benefit of African Americans and they have been left out of vocational education and placement that they otherwise would have gotten if it had not been altered from its original intent.

From that people have twisted what Webb said into him being against Afirmative Action.

And yes, hiring African Americans on his staff does affect you in a positive way if you are an African American, as is the point of Affirmative Action.



WOW! (phriendlyjaime - 9/21/2006 11:57:30 AM)
Isn't it just too funny and coincidental that 4theGipper and blackamerican always show up and post within moments of each other?  I think an IP search is in order....

Nice, LCD, btw.  Hate to lose your recipes, but we should make it a habit to just troll rate these losers.  Again, if we can't post on A-Team, they shouldn't be allowed to spew their hate filled propaganda and spin here.

POTATO LATKES (Loudoun County Dem - 9/21/2006 12:04:26 PM)
  2 eggs
  3 c. grated, drained potatoes (easy when using a food processor!)
  4 tbsp. grated onion
  1 tsp. salt
  1/4 tsp. pepper
  2 tbsp. cracker or matzo meal
  1/2 c. oil for frying latkes plus about 2 tbsp. for onion

Saute onion until slightly browned. Beat eggs. Add potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, and meal. Heat half the oil in frying pan and drop potato mixture by the tablespoon. Fry until browned on both sides. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.

Serves 8.



Yum, latkes! (Lowell - 9/21/2006 12:07:34 PM)
I hear they go great with pork chops.  At least that's what George Allen tells me. ;)


The only color they consider in their hiring process is Blue (Used2Bneutral - 9/21/2006 12:08:40 PM)
And they get those people some oxygen real quick so they don't become brain damaged and turn Red.....


Color (blackamerican - 9/21/2006 12:15:15 PM)
Then why bring up race. I think the only thing that matters is, do the candidate believe what I believe.

You want offensive? Try this. (Lowell - 9/21/2006 12:14:13 PM)
Allen's non-Jewish campaign officials are accusing Webb's Jewish campaign officials - and other Jewish bloggers not employed by the Webb campaign - of anti-Semitism for simply wondering why Allen is so ashamed of his Jewish heritage ("aspersions?").  That's utterly offensive. 


Well put (Todd Smyth - 9/21/2006 1:18:22 PM)


It's necessary (Arturo - 9/21/2006 12:15:38 PM)
Or you wouldn't be reading it.


I made a Kos post yesterday (Newport News Dem - 9/21/2006 1:48:33 PM)
which pointed to the vile Allen blog post of "Webb's Jewish Question."

I was taken to task a bit for giving oxygen to the hate in the  post and was asked to delete it. I did......



Sorry about that (Bubby - 9/21/2006 2:03:40 PM)
I've actually come to enjoy the less politically correct oxygen we breath around here.

It's kind of a who's who of intolerance.


No, ding dong (Doug Garnett-Deakin - 9/21/2006 2:06:08 PM)
This blogging system hides your posts when you get a bunch of troll ratings. That's been explained about a million times. Oh, and here's one for not reading the rules.


We are bottom-up at RK (Bubby - 9/21/2006 2:16:53 PM)
What does that mean you ask?  You have to contribute or WE hide your comments. Its a community. Contribute or get out of town.

It is so effective that all of Rightwingostan and the A-Team think we have to be centrally controlled.  Such is the power of many with common cause.

Does anyone else think the two Armisteads, I Publius and blackamerican are one and the same person? (PM - 9/21/2006 1:50:44 PM)
Sure sounds like it.  Same lack of content (unless you bring up VMI, apparently the only thing the person knows anything about); same intolerance; same illogic.


Hmmm... (Mimi Schaeffer - 9/22/2006 2:54:26 AM)
There is one oppressed minority that Allen is rumored to be dripping with.

Let's just say these guys are probably best pals of Ken Mehlman and Jeff Gannon.



Are you talking about "X-cons" or "Pre-cons" ???? (Used2Bneutral - 9/22/2006 3:53:14 AM)
either way they get a chance to work on their back-hand tennis shot..... right??
