Methinks Macaca has some splainin' to do....
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 09:24 PM by CatWoman
Three former college football teammates of Sen. George Allen say that the Virginia Republican repeatedly used an inflammatory racial epithet and demonstrated racist attitudes toward blacks during the early 1970s.

"Allen said he came to Virginia because he wanted to play football in a place where 'blacks knew their place,'" said Dr. Ken Shelton, a white radiologist in North Carolina who played tight end for the University of Virginia football team when Allen was quarterback. "He used the N-word on a regular basis back then."

A second white teammate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared retribution from the Allen campaign, separately claimed that Allen used the word "nigger" to describe blacks. "It was so common with George when he was among his white friends. This is the terminology he used," the teammate said.

A third white teammate contacted separately, who also spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of being attacked by the Virginia senator, said he too remembers Allen using the word "nigger," though he said he could not recall a specific conversation in which Allen used the term. "My impression of him was that he was a racist," the third teammate said.

2. So Allen is counting on the black vote?
I mean, really. Is there a self-respecting African American in VA who was planning on voting for Allen anyway? I suppose I could be wrong . . . I mean, there were some gays who voted for W after all. But Day-um!

6. I guess that noose in his office wasn't just...
...an emergency necktie for last-minute formal occasions. Oh dear, oh dear.

Still, the way his career is going, he may get some use out of it after all.

7. Is he trying to beat Bush's 2% popularity rating among African-Americans?
I didn't think it was possible, but Allen may do that.

24. He'll be elected. We are talking about Virginia
He'll just pay some black folks to stand behind him for every photo op. The people who will vote for him see nothing wrong with calling black folks niggers. In fact, you are infringing on their first amendment rights.

25. You're talking about a stereotype of VA
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 08:08 AM by LostinVA
Quite a bit of VA is blue... or at least quite purple. Charlottesville is very, very blue, Richmond city. the majority of NOVA, etc.

And, like NC, it gets a bit more blue every year as demographics change.

13. Didn't any of this come up before he was voted in as Gov. and
Senator? I guess his macaca remarks finally got the RW Media to do their jobs.

11. his own sister has stated him to be a violent, egomaniac that will...
do & say anything to be seen as the winner of the moment; some of his professional references i.e. Howard Dean, are being kind when they state that he is congenially inappropriate, and has no business in public office

20. Even the crackers don't claim this asshole.
This creature is from California and Illinois. And his mama was a furreigner. And speaks FRENCH. FRENCH.

Well, being a rootless asshole makes him more amenable to his repukelican base; ever'one knows the real repukelican "base" is rootless, stateless capitalists.

16. Anybody who was ever around allen & paid any attention
to his nonsense knew this stuff. It would only get worse if he were to run for the presidency. Many people who knew about him back in day probably weren't aware until recently that he is a senator.

17. I take it this cat didn't have any black teammates?
Or did he just not care? Imo, he'll still get the votes because republicans don't care about the past unless it was a Democrat.

22. But at least he eats ham and pork chops!
So, he's square with the Jewish community, not. I'm curious what he's going to do with this round. I wonder if there is an ethnic group that he HASN'T insulted. It might be easier to figure out that number. piece of #$%& He better lose.:wtf:
