Of course, you've all now see that this was traced directly from Marvel comics and that Miller's head was just traced on too. Right. Those anti-semitic Marvel comics are the worst. How DO they stay in business!

I'm confused. Is the new rule that it is OK to call your opponent money-grubbing as long as he's not Jewish? If this flyer is anti-semetic then it is racist to call a black man stupid, as it plays to a stereotype of inferior intelligence. News flash: a Jewish person can be money-grubbing just like anyone else. This flyer carries no hint of anti-semetism unless one already knows Miller is Jewish, and I see no evidence anyone has made a big deal of this.

The cartoon looks like Miller, end of story.

This "controversy" is a last minute hit on Webb by the Republicans, who are very afraid of him.

Miller will be easily beaten by Allen, on the other hand.

The hit is so crude it may backfire and sweep Webb to victory, though.

It looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Yep, its a duck. The 'anti-christ' reference and the hitlerian assistant sunk it for me.

I think that a law should be passed that calling your opponent the Anti-Christ automatically disqualifies your candidacy. We need to have some basic respect for each other, even Democrats in a Democratic primary.

Beware the Instalanche! While I appreciate that some might not think this is anti-semitic, it looks that way to my eyes. I was at first skeptical about the claims of racism. However, after seeing the nose, combined with "anti-Christ", money symbols and cigars, "blame it on technology while count my money," and Webb calling him "Killer" (right across from the anti-Christ mention, I might add)... it's just too much imagery to be an coincidence, IMHO. While you couldn't prove racism in a court of law, Webb is too smart and highly educated to claim ignorance about the history behind these kinds of smears. I think he's playing dirty pool to appeal to his view of what motivates rural Southern voters. Thankfully, I don't think it will work.

[...] Joe Gandelman has a post about a campaign flyer that was written in response to an AP article published in Forbes. It would appear that Gandelman wrote the entire post based on that article. And I think he got sucker-punched by the AP's manufactured controversy. After reading his take, I looked at the actual fliers over at Captain Ed's place and read what James Joyner had to say about it, too. The cartoon in question is not offensive or stereotypical and is actually a fairly accurate rendering of the actual person. That's it's also juvenile and a pretty lame piece of campaign literature is also quite evident. [...]

a conference together with people who have said offensive things. He’s campaigned with one. He shared the stage with Rep. Jim ‘if it weren’t for the jews‘ Moran. The media asked Jim Webb nothing. Considering the Webb campaign’s own brush with accusations of anti-semitism, their current “pattern of intimidation and intolerance“, why isn’t the media holding Jim Webb accountable for his friends?

The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. Leave A Comment »

but, on all of these issues except abortion, the changes have been too recent and public. I think the Democrats should go with the more consistent candidate whose only party sin that I can see is being involved with an outsourcing of technology jobs.Finally, the Miller people seem to have managed to tag Webb as something of an anti-semite close to the primary. I don't think the accusations are based in reality, but I think the attack has stuck in some people's minds. However, Virginia's worst congressman,

Defending Ann Coulter I'm not a big fan of Coulter. But Dafydd at Big Lizards makes a strong defense of her in this post. After reading it, I have to say that he makes her case better than se does.Defending James Webb I am a big fan of James Webb. His primary opponent has tried to portray him as anti-semitic. Some in the blogosphere have fallen for it. Outside the Beltway shows why they are wrong. Richard Hofstadter
