I so hope this new George Allen-is-a-racist story gains traction...

[marmar]

I read some excerpts from the Salon story. A fellow teammate says that one night after hunting he sought out a black neighborhood so he could leave a bloody deer's head at someone's home?
Not only is Allen a racist, he's clearly a psychopath. And this was one of the Repug favorites to run for president in 2008? They're going to change their acronym to GOWP - the Grand Old Wizards Party.

1. Agreed! Allen is, IMO, one vile excuse for a human being.

Webb's still a little too conservative for me, but he's a great improvement over an overt racist.

2. I hope it motivates liberals and people of color to vote.

3. It sure seems to be. Even among republicans....

4. I want to google th article about him that his sister wrote. Anybody know

her name? Or maybe already have a link? A person's sibling bad-mouthing him as strongly as his sister did, is very interesting.

12. Nice guy...huh!

Charges by Allen's sister Jennifer
Allen's younger sister Jennifer Allen Richard alleges in her memoir Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter (Random House Publishing, 2000) that Allen attacked his younger siblings during his childhood. <45> She claims that Allen held her by her feet over Niagara Falls,<46> struck her boyfriend in the head with a pool cue,<47> threw his brother Bruce through a glass sliding door, tackled his brother Gregory, breaking his collarbone,<48> and dragged Jennifer upstairs by her hair. In the book, she wrote, "George hoped someday to become a dentist…George said he saw dentistry as a perfect profession—getting paid to make people suffer."<49>

7. There's a constituency for racism, but, yes, it's sticking. nt

8. True, there is a contingent for whom this story and "macaca"...

are badges of honor....But I am glad it's sticking. People are now thinking: "Where there's smoke, there's burning crosses."
