1. I'm surprised Allen didn't toss him a banana.
Welcome to Allen's America - where if you look muslim and you're carrying a camera you can be shamed out of a gawd-fearin' legitimate group of White Murcans.

4. I still think he's going to be the nominee in 2008.
I've felt for a long time the fundie-pubs who control the party think he is the "perfect" safe replacement for El Shrubbo.

6. It's my understanding that Sidarth
was born in this country and therefore a US Citizen..

The focus of this controversy is on the word "Macaca" - but I think we are missing another "message"

"Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia," -- George Allen

Allen assumed that Sidarth was an immigrant. Would Allen have said the same if Sidarth were blond/blue-eyed?
