So you would vote for someone who voted to invade Iraq?

But not for someone who wants to keep the Confederate flag over cemeteries?

The Confederate flag is a greater injustice than the Iraq War?

I would vote for Clinton but not Webb, either. Webb seems scarily hawkish when it comes to the Far East, and a war there would be x1,000 worse than Iraq.

Obama, Clinton, and Webb all essentially have the same stance on the Far East.

No, they don't. Webb has been a lot more aggressive on confronting China. Neither of the other two have compared the PRC to 1930s Japan. Webb seems to have a fetish against China. Given his pro-war stance on Vietnam, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a racist. Of the three, I think Clinton would be most reasonable, actually.

Also there's the fact that Webb endorsed Bush in 2000, and if Bush had not won I doubt Gore would have invaded Iraq.

Considering your basis for claiming Webb was racist against East Asians was essentially that he was hawkish against China, what sort of evidence would you want? How is this any different from True Leftists claiming Hillary hates brown people because she voted for Iraq, is pro-Israel etc.?

I said I wouldn't be surprised if he was. Not that he was. Your claim that his wife as Vietnamese as a defense is hilarious though. In my experience guys who are super into East Asia are more likely to be racist, strangely enough.
