Thank you

This was clearly a nasty comment, and to see folks who can rise above partisanship to see that makes me long for less partisan days.

In return, I will double my efforts to call out someone from my side of the aisle when he or she does the equivalent.

Let’s face it, with the partisan atmosphere right now, there’s little someone on one side of the aisle can say about someone on the other, no matter how true, that won’t get dismissed as mere partisanship. In somewhat less partisan times watching each other worked, but now the fight is getting so nasty it fails.

We both have to work to keep our houses clean.

MACAQUE is pronounced Ma-Kack

NOT Macaca

—jester

Jester,

By the way this is also from the NationMaster list of of ethnic slurs

Makak
(Belgium & the Netherlands) a Moroccan; derived from macaque

What American uses the term “macaca?” What America has that word easily on their lips? Even if you wanted to insult or embarass someone there would a wealth of other names to call him. Well in turns out that macaca and macaque are worlds used in the racist white power subculture. In fact, it’s a word you can use to say [tasteful edit of the n-word] without people knowing that what you mean.

And now we learn that this so-called Republican, part of God’s own party in America, supports the baby-killing industry? I would ask if anything was sacred anymore, but I think we all pretty much already know that the degenerate liberal elite, lording over us hardworking real Americans from their ivory towers, have managed to subvert even our Republican politicians in Christ-fearing states.

This is truly sad and I for one cannot tolerate it anymore. It seems to me these America-hating “business” Republicans are undermining the great strides we’ve made toward social conservatism. And they do it all in the name of profit. I have a good mind to find another party, one that does not allow those with black souls in, and I recommend you follow me to it if you really care about this once great nation’s youth.

What matters is that Allen made a spectacle of himself by calling out the only person who was not white, implied he was not an American and did it deliberately.

He is not only damaged goods for 2008, he probably just destroyed his chances for Senate in 2006.

We don’t need people like this in the Republican Party.

The tone of his words, the look on his face, the accusatory pointed finger, the blatant intent on humiliation — are there for any viewer to see. He reeks contempt for the Thomas Jefferson high school graduate and student at UVA. It is disgusting.

If James Webb had done this – how many of you cool aid drinkers would be crying fowl? You’d be aghast. This country needs it’s voters to have at least a semblance of objectivity. Do you think his comments were Christian? Is this how Virginians are supposed to treat one another? If you condone it, you are as bad as George Allen.

There is no place for this kind of condemnation of an innocent person in this county’s leadership. I hope George Allen is defeated.

Go back to the lush hills of Palos Verdes, California George Allen- stop giving the South and the great state of Virginia a bad name. We aren’t all racists and those of us who dip are mostly trying to quit. Give up the act-we all know that you are a carpetbagger anyways.

If he’d come out and said “Look, I forgot the guys name, I apologize, no idea where that Macaca name came from” I’d think it perhaps disengenuous but not completely unreasonable.

But the whole Mohawk/Mullet explanation makes no sense at all, and I don’t know why they’re pushing it. At best, it means they’re making fun of the guys hairstyle, which seems a bit schoolyard. At worst, it means they’re lying, and it’s either a known insult or a nonsense name designed to make fun of someone foreign looking. Either way, Allen looks bad.
