Senator Jim Webb Responds to Blog Posts

By michaelinnorfolk on | From michael-in-norfolk.blogspot.com

One thing about being a blogger is that you never know who may be reading what you write and/or what kind of sensitive nerve you might touch upon. A case in point is an e-mail I received Friday afternoon in response to a post here on Michael-in-Norfolk and a similar version on The Bilerico Project that raised concerns about Virginia U.S. Senator Jim Webb's support for the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Who was the e-mail from? The author of the e-mail was Jessica Smith, Senator Webb's...Read Full Story

Virginia Senator Jim Webb Calls For End To Government Diversity Programs

By Worshiper on | From bvblackspin.com

Virginia Senator Jim Webb has gotten some attention lately by calling for an end to diversity programs. Webb argues that the programs hurt poor whites and reduce the ability to achieve racial harmony. In the Wall Street Journal , Webb stated that a "plethora of government-enforced diversity policies have marginalized many white workers. The time has come to cease the false arguments and allow every American the benefit of a fair chance at the future." Webb argues that federal diversity...Read Full Story

Senator Jim Webb - A Neo-Confederate and Closet Racist?

By michaelinnorfolk on | From michael-in-norfolk.blogspot.com

My post the other day on this blog and later on The Bilerico Project resulted in several interesting e-mails and comments. It's unfortunate that some of the information I received did not get wider press coverage during Webb's campaign against George Allen. It seems in many ways that Webb and Allen are both cut out of the same cloth. Indeed, but for Allen's " Macaca moment" and other distractions, voters might have released that Allen was not the only racist running for office. One e-mail...Read Full Story

Senator Jim Webb - A Soon to be Convert to the GOP?

By michaelinnorfolk on | From michael-in-norfolk.blogspot.com

UPDATED: A commenter has cited impoverished areas of Virginia that are almost completely white as justification for Jim Webb's proposal to end all affirmative action programs. Unfortunately, neither the commenter nor the author of the link cited were willing to take into consideration the responsibility that impoverished areas of Virginia bear for their own current economic situation. Yes, historic manufacturing jobs have exited the region. However, it is the residents' own racism, homophobia...Read Full Story

An Open Letter to Senator Jim Webb

By michaelinnorfolk on | From michael-in-norfolk.blogspot.com

On Friday I received an e-mail from Senator Jim Webb's communications director, Jessica Smith, that a first seemed like a genuine outreach by the Senator to LGBT Virginians. It turns out that it wasn't. It was part of a poorly executed PR effort. And as one commenter on one of my Bilerico Project posts rightly noted " It's called "damage control." The best part is that there have been several identical letters sent to various folks from multiple staffers. At least they could have tailored the...Read Full Story
