James Webb Writes About Incest and Pedophilia

Tom Clancy writes great fiction without ever having to add "morally vile scenes in a novel...to titillate the reader".

[sandbar]

Where is that funny looking cat with the WTF on it???

It sounds like he put that passage in there just for the fun of writing it out.

The pervert.

[sandbar]

>>>One of my short stories is about an acquitted child molester; another centers around four people who killed for money. Does that mean I sympathize or empathize with or secretly fantasize about their crimes? Emphatically, no.>>>

So fine, you story is ABOUT THAT. There is nothing relevant to the story whatsoever in writing about a father putting his son's penis in his mouth for crying out loud.

[sandbar]

>>>And I'm telling you I don't need to read that chapter, >>>

Well then you have shown yourself to be an ignorant sort. To defend something you know nothing about.

[weegee]

Pages don't becomes pages until 16. The age of consent (laws) in DC is 16.

And Foley didn't engage in physical sex with the men while they were pages or minors.

We find homosexuals to be immoral and jr./sr. relationships to be unseemly.

But the hypocrisy among the media and the Congress is insulting.

Bill Clinton was accused of multiple rapes. Clinton was accused of unwanted sexual harassment (dropping his pants and saying "kiss it"), and of having a consensual sexual affair with an unpaid aide who was not much older than his daughter. He received oral sex while he deployed troops on the phone in total dishonor of the lives of the men he was deploying AND in violation of the security clearance that Monica did not have. He lied under oath (and in a sexual harassment lawsuit, office sex IS relevant). His staff brided witnesses to lie under oath. Monica was given a high paying job by one of his buddies (something she doesn't seem to be able to pull down these days).

The honored (and yes the NYTimes glorified him in his obituary this weekend) Congressman Studds had sex with a 17 year old male at a time that same sex sodomy was criminal in numerous states. He was considered a hero for homosexuals (I guess because he didn't vote against same-sex marriage like Foley did). He was censured and remained in office. Bill Clinton was never even censured by those who insisted that he SHOULD be censured (but kept in office).

So if sex fantasy is going to be fair game in THIS election cycle, porno novel writing is open for inspection.

You wrote, "Tom Clancy writes great fiction..."

No, he doesn't. Tom Clancy writes commercially successful fiction using formulaic, action-adventure plots, lots of techno-babble, wooden dialog, and cardboard-cutout heroes and villains. To give credit where it's due, his research is immaculate and his plotting and pacing are cohesive and page-turning.

And I'm not playing the part of literary snob, here. I like (and write) genre fiction, too, but the appellation 'great' is thrown around too freely. I would guess that Clancy, if asked, would balk at being called an unqualified 'great' writer. Hemingway was a great writer. Fitzgerald was a great writer. Heck, Raymond Chandler was a great writer. At his best, Graham Greene, known for his thrillers, was a great writer. That's exalted company. Clancy doesn't belong there.

Right back at you, sport. Spitballs from the peanut gallery don't change or challenge the validity of my argument.

[Palladin]

It takes a sick mind to imagine such a sick act. Yes, indeed. "The thought is father to the deed." An old proverb. Who needs a creep like this in high public office? He'll be all over the pages like bees on flowers.

Ever read Scooter Libby's book, or Lynne Cheney's for that matter?

[sandbar]

>>>Ever read Scooter Libby's book, or Lynne Cheney's for that matter?>>>

Nope. What are they about?

(P.S. I'm not defending either one until I've read it)

[sandbar]

"Right back at you"? Hmmm, not only ignorant to defend something you admit to knowing absolutely nothing about, you are unimaginative as well.

Why are you protesting so much ?
Everyone knows you reveal yourself everytime you open your mouth, put pen to paper,green light or direct a film....Think Oliver Stone.
What's your real concern here?

[TaxRelief]

No. Clancy writes great fiction. His dialog is realtime; His plots are each unique and unpredictable; His technical jargon is stimulating and accurate; And his villains are excellent archetypes of realistic moles and enemies of the state. Furthermore, he has an uncanny abilty to predict the outcome of certain events and the future course of American history.

You wrote, "...you are unimaginative as well."

That would be some surprise to the folks who buy and read my fiction and to the clients who employ my commercial art talent and graphic design expertise. That is how I make my living. And it's a very good living, thanks.

"So if sex fantasy is going to be fair game in THIS election cycle, porno novel writing is open for inspection. Turnabout is fair play. I can't say as, what with everything going on, I disagree with you.

I just wish that there was more decorum and less hypocrisy in politics.

Rant mode on

This is getting out of hand. Seems like the choice we're presented with is "Which party is going to screw the country over, for personal power, the least."

Personally I think that politicians should labor under harsher laws then the rest of us. After all running for office means that the candidate has to think that they are superior to the rest of us and therefor uniquely capable of telling the rest of us what to do.

Since that's the case I see no reason why politicians shouldn't be executed for their inability to live under the laws that govern the rest of us. I'm sincerely tired of the "excuses" that they proffer for their intransigence.

We need to quit screwing around with these people. If they had to look a few heads on pikes every time they went to work it might make them think twice about crossing their bosses, the taxpayer.

Rant mode powering off.

You wrote, "Why are you protesting so much ?"

Not 'protesting so much' in the Shakespearean sense, thanks. I'm simply going tit-for-tat with a group of people who are reduced to ad hominem attacks when on the losing side of an argument. I take a certain pleasure pinning such people to the logical wall. Not very nice, I know, but it's fun.

[TET1968]

Ok.
Cool.

[trisham]

After all, the WAPO has been trying to make the fact that George Allen said the word, "Macaca," which about 3 people had ever heard of before Allen said it, into the biggest story of the election cycle. Meanwhile, James Webb's books feature N-bombs galore and women slicing up fruit with their private parts. But that, the MSM doesn't want to go into detail about.

I'm not sure I can blame them after reading some of the excerpts.

Like writing sexually explicit instant messages to a page isn't the same as actually DOING IT?

By that logic, we should ignore just about everything that Larry Flynt has ever done because he doesn't actually do anything more than sell pictured of it.
