The Senator, the Monkey and the Nana

Senator George Allen has been having a rough time since he called a college student a "Macaca." Macaca is a common racist term used in France, where Allen’s mother is from. His once large lead in the polls is rapidly slipping. And now he is being forced to change his planned campaign stops to avoid protesters, including two who dressed up like a monkey and a banana.

On Friday Allen was at an event at a Holiday Inn when a University of Virginia law student asked an important question no media member has the balls to ask:


“Have you ever used the word nigger?


The student then went on to ask why Allen had once displayed a noose in his office. Handling it like a politician, Allen smiled, put his hands on the student’s shoulders and said they could talk about it later. His aides then escorted the student out. Allen turned to the nearly all-white crowd of Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce members and said,


“Once in a while you get ambushed, that’s OK. That’s part of it.”


Part of being a racist? Or a politician?

Allen then made for his bus and got the hell out of there. His next stop was supposed to be City Hall where protesters, supporters and city officials were waiting. But Allen made the wise choice and did not show up. The banana and monkey photo op was apparently not a good one.

I call politician on this one. Id wager he's covering his ass in case he said it before and forgot.

He should get together with the bus driver in Texas who forced ten black kids to share two seats so two white kids could sit at the front of the school bus.

The monkey is fab, but that banana is somewhat creepy. I'd've avoided it.

Ironically, FTR identifies this as racism yet when it's reversed as in an earlier post - it doesn't exist and is merely a coverup for a religious issue.

This assclown/monkey boy's job was to follow his boss' opponent around with a video camera. And he's not a monkey? Wait, I get it...you call anyone who's not white a monkey - it's racist. If you call them a monkey and they're white, it's just an insult. Gotcha.

No.

I'm pretty sure every politician would welcome anyone's vote. It's not about ethics or concern; it's about numbers - regardless of their party affiliation.

It's called opposition research. Every campaign does it. If you think that Allen doesn't have staffers or interns doing the same thing, I hope you didn't bump your ass falling off the turnip truck.

The difference is that Allen's opponent isn't stupid enough to mock people because of the ethnicity, nor does he have a hardon for the "old south". Allen spent they heyday of the civil rights movement with a confederate battle flag lapel pin. He's a fucking tool.

Indeed, that was my analysis. I can't help it if you are not smart. It is very difficult to explain to dumb people even slightly complex thoughts. SInce day one that I began writing here you have constantly written the most obtuse and obvious posts, totally neglecting any sort of complexity that might encompass the world, while at the same time blathering on in a horriflying lame policially correct manner.

And you have a soul patch.

Since day 1? I've only been a member for a few months and if you look at my comment history, rarely post in the poltics boards. Wow, someone fixates waaaaaay too much. You obviously have quite the social life. No wonder you won't post your real pic.

By the way, it's evident that you are overly sensitive and defensive as in yesterday's post. Maybe you can find some online self-esteem courses or find some fat chick in Yahoo chat to go cybersteady with. smile
