While the media has flagged the insensitivity of the comment, more needs to be said about Allen's lies on where Webb has and hasn't been. His family is from Southwest Virginia, for cripes sake.
A blatant lie about an opponent is news too - the media needs to call George Allen out on both his offensiveness and his lie.
This sounds like a job for Kenton.
- Allen's Racist History - long, sordid personal and legislative career of suppressing blacks and other minorities
- Allen's Evolving Excuses - was it 'Mohawk' or 'Shithead'? Wait, I thought he didn't know what it meant? This ties into his long history of evading questions about racism (Anyone remember "It's more of a lasso"?)
- Who exactly has Allen apologized to? Allegedly, the 'Indian-American business leaders' that he met with and apologized to are Republican contractors. No personal apology as of yet. No REAL apology as of yet.
- Allen's a Fraud - we should know this one by heart
- Allen's a Bully - check out his sister's book
these are just a few, the more digging people do the more will be exposed. we know there's a lot out there, we just need to capitalize on this opportunity to publicize it.
But I keep thinking ... anybody who would look at a camera and say those things is something else entirely. He's stupid, stupid, stupider than everybody's always said he is.
1. Macaca sounds like Mohawk
2. Macaca was made up
3. Macaca is a a combination of "Mohawk" and "Shithead", as in the Shithead with the Mohawk.
4. I've not familiar with Macaca
5. I'm not smart enough to recognize a racial slur in my mother's native land, either proving that I'm stupid or just a bad son
6. My staff is racist although they are all 'real' Virginians
Which one is your favorite?
