If it wasn't offensive, then why was it out of character???

Wow, the GOP is really imploding.

Er, Wikipedia? Not, like, a dictionary? Or someone from the region?

Although we all know those n..atives can say anything just like the Wikipedia, don't we, Mr. Scimeca?

It's not just McCain who doesn't get it. This is bound to drive the few minorities voting for the party away. It's.....brazen.

I remember reading somewhere about VA Republicans holding a rally in Richmond for black Republicans, renting out a convention center that could hold six thousand. Nine people showed up. Based on that (allegedly in 1994), it's kinda hard to not improve...

That's the real point. Macaca-man probably is the best they can do. Especially in the wake of a convention that had the smallest minority presence in decades.

Can't the GOP step back every once in awhile and see themselves how everyone else sees them?

Every day I shake my head and think, "They can't top this," and then they do. I was incredulous when McCain made the centerpiece of his agenda stopping earmarks, and making sure we'd "know the names" of those who request them, with the Earmark Queen standing next to him. I was perplexed when he shifted his focus to taking down the fat cats and lobbyists who run Washington, forgetting that they run his campaign. They topped it this week when they touted the endorsement of the Rothschild who lives on a 3,200 estate in England, who claims she can't support Obama because he is "elitist." The Allen participation in the "Diversity Rally" fits perfectly into this pattern.

This is beyond irony. "My friends," we've fallen down the friggin rabbit hole.

There is only one reason why Allen would put himself in that situation. Undoubtedly he and his supporters are planting the seeds for Allen's 2012 presidential campaign.

If it wasn't for the Macaca moment being caught on video, I have little doubt that Allen would presently be the republican nominee.

"His whole career, his whole life have been a testament to a guy who's treated people equally across racial lines, across every kind of line."

I see. So he's an equal opportunity asshole.

Hahahahaha. I never cease to be amazed at the Republicans. If he's the best they got to reach out to people of color, they really are a bunch of fucktards.

The Republicans truly are completely incapable of self-examination. I wouldn't let 'macaca man' anywhere near my kids. The wingnuts of the modern repugnican party should just get it over with and call themselves the W.S.P instead of the G.O.P.

W--white
S--seperatist
P--party

They're really not even trying at this point.

Is being a football coach really his main qualification?

I am sure that "outreach" means Allen will ensure state voter databases are cleansed of unwanted voters.

All I want to know is who is the genius that thought this one up!

Are these people idiots? I must have missed when as a state senator, George Allen voted against establishing a state holiday for MLK. I must have missed all those Confederate Flags in his law office. I must have missed that noose in his office.

OK, this is proof to me of what I have long thought: the Virginia GOP are all crazy as loons.

Who's the new guest Ho' gonna be??

Seriously, last time these good ol' boys held an 'event' they called it a Hoe'down/fundraiser, and chose as their featured guest speaker big media Ho' Laura Ingraham.

You could hear the macacas cry for miles, they were laughing so hard

But it gets better.
Does anyone remember the poster they created to advertise that event?? I have it framed for posterity ..It's a bright shiny red classic pick up truck parked in front of an old whitewashed building once used as slave quarters.

Coach George Allen's son has shown himself to be a bigger jerk than his father. If that is possible!

Of course Allen would be their minority outreach specialist...

...in exactly the same, cynical, in-your-face, "we don't give a s**t about your creamy-soft-center sensitivities" way that Palin was chosen to attract the "disenfranchised" female vote.

It is the manifestation of all-things-Orwell made flesh. The Ministry of Love wages war, the Ministry of Truth spews lies and rewrites history on-the-fly.

Remember, these who literally screwed this country into the ground in every way -- political standing in the world, economy, outsourcing the core functions of the federal government, putting dysfunctional cronies in charge of our safety and health -- are now "reformers" too.

But, then, they have been re-forming this country in ways it was never meant to go for almost 30 years now.

And the creamy-soft-center of the voting populace, the "swing voters" lo these past 30 years, have been happily lapping up this milk of human meanness, while the vast majority failed to go to the polls.

That has given them a comfort and confidence that allows them to make such obvious moves, transparency of such poke in the eye audacity.

So, to stay with the trite, we have an honor bound obligation to put truth to the tired old concept that pride goeth before the fall, eh?

They are school-yard bullies who have literally been stealing our lunch money for way too long. It must stop, and it must stop now.

Well, okay... in November.
