Conservative Washington Times Blogger Slams Allen's "Lolita Smear"

We Democrats don't usually look to the right-wing Washington Times for help, but today, George Allen and his minions have gone too far even for the Times. One of their bloggers, Scott Galupo, has an absolutely scathing column entitled, "Allen's 'Lolita' Smear." The column begins, "George Allen is an opportunistic philistine," and gets worse (if you're an Allen supporter) from there. Check it out:

According to the Washington Post (bolding added for emphasis):

Grisham said Friday in an interview, "I am just shocked at the idea the Allen campaign would be this desperate. This is a clear sign of a desperate campaign if they plow through novels trying to find evidence of character. The old saying is 'everything is grist for the writer's mill.' Every person you see, every country you visit, every bizarre, vile, repulsive act could one day be in a novel. That is not reflective of your character as an author; it is reflective of what you witnessed as someone looking for material."
Grisham then unloaded on Allen, saying, "It seems like voters should be more concerned with George Allen's fiction. I seriously doubt George Allen is much of a reader, but if he would read more, maybe he would understand the difference fiction and non-fiction."

4. Daily Kos: George Allen: Just Shut Up

(From the diaries -- kos)

George Allen: You Have Not Earned the Right to Question Jim Webb's Recollections of War - So Just Shut Up


And to Chris LaCivita, Who Did Serve, You Should Know Better - Shame on You

To: George Allen and his campaign
From: Steve Jarding
Re: Shame on both of you

George Allen and his campaign hit men this week chose to again attack Jim Webb and his military experiences, this time by taking passages from Webb's novels to try to suggest that the explicit war time experiences Webb writes about are demeaning and repugnant.
