Senator Allen & Racism

edited November -1 in General Discussion
I don't know if this is already here somewhere but I found this pretty offensive. If you go to the following link:

You can see what I am talking about. Apparently the word "macaca" means monkey. Senator Allen threw out this word towards the only non WAS (White Anglo-Saxon) in the crowd. This kind of stuff is ridiculous.

I am subscribed to MoveOn.org & I get e-mails about events like this with petitions, here's the information on this one: http://political.moveon.org/withdrawallen/


I'm disappointed about John McCain rallying by this guys side, but hey I guess the Republicans will do as they do. Anyone else hear about this?

    I just watched it--what the hell?
    "Or whatever his name is ..."
  • the guy's a tool.
    but really, you expect more from a republican senatorial candidate?

    invading iraq, ignoring kartrina victims and clearing brush, while committing treason and embezzling millions should be pleanty. one republican cannot do it alone; it's really a team effort to piss off entire globe. the players, like allen, cannot truly earn a key role without displaying the ability to properly exude careless arrogance, just like the president or karl rove.

    these past electeions have yielded not only a conserviative house and senate, but a congress who has spent the least amount of time in session when compared to any in the history of this country. FDR didn't take a vacation during the war, but dubya and his cronies need the months off for general relaxation and bbq's. meanwhile, they feign sadness for the men and women fighting and dying in iraq. neat trick, as this coincides with blatantly lying to the public, claiming they never publically propagandized a 9/11 connection between bin laden and hussein.

    allen is only living up to the true potential of his party and the current administration. his comments, arrogance and general demeanor are no surprise. he'd not be a true dubya conservative without those attributes. entertaining, is the pure idiocy behind using the term "macaca." my five year old displays better manners and faster wit.
