What pisses me off more than anything about George "Macaca" Allen

[Zavulon]

Racial slurs from Republicans bother me, but don't suprise me.

What pisses me off the most, something I really have to vent about - and forgive me for getting in late on this (and for the paraphrasing I'm about to do) - is that at first Allen said "macaca" didn't mean anything, and then he said he had a niece who had a nickname of "Maca Maca" - you know, as if we were all supposed to throw up our hands and say "Oh, well, in that case it's all good."

First of all, let's assume that his niece has that nickname. I'm not sure anyone on the planet does, but let's assume it. It's absolute horseshit, but let's pretend it's true. It's complete and utter laughable drivel which has not an iota of truth to it, but let's assume it's true. :rofl"

Even if it were true, what fucking difference does it make? He first said that the slur didn't mean anything.

Now, let's assume that the "niece" thing is, as I think we all know, unequivocal bullshit (to be honest, I'm leaning in that direction :rofl: ). If that's the case, then:

a.) he dragged a child into a media firestorm in order to save his worthless ass, and

b.) he is insulting the living shit out of our intelligence by thinking that such a claim will make a difference to the voting public (insulting the voting public is something that irritates me no end - for example, see my post here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2323707&mesg_id=2324238 ).

There's plenty to dislike about this guy - his voting record, his attitudes toward race, etc, but for some reason his lame attempt to get himself out of this shit by dragging his niece (and I'm giving him the benefit of the douby by assuming he even HAS a niece) into it REALLY irks the fuck out of me.

I realize that there are bigger fish to fry here, but the "Maca Maca" thing makes my blood fucking boil. :mad: Am I the only one who really got pissed off by this?

End of rant, apologies for my French. Thanks for listening.

1. What pisses me off most is a poll showing him with a lead over Webb

Makes me doubt common sense.

7. Yep, that pisses me off most too.

I agree with the OP too, of course. Using a kid as a human shield against the well-deserved scorn of civilised people is despicable.

2. The niece probably was slow to potty train, and they were calling

her a double babyshit...that was caca caca, and he misheard it!

Oh, and his name now, and keep it going, is Senator Felix Macacawitz!!!!

If anyone is full of caca, it's Feeeeeeeeeeeeelix!

Do whatcha can to GOTV in VA...we can win that one if enough Democrats work it.

3. I missed the "Macca macca" bullshit excuse,

but, what really fries me is the number of idiots who support this pile of crap in human form. The ones who will grasp and hold tightly to any bit of transparent garbage put out to defend such a useless creature as though it represents the revealed truth.

It leaves me breathless.

5. Allen

The truly sad part is that his audience was comprised of idiots who agree with his slurs and probably use much worse slurs themselves. The racial insanity is still tearing this country apart, fed by those that profit from it.

4. That video didn't bother you??

Hmmm, well that's interesting.

I'd never heard the niece excuse, but after everything else he's done, this just confirms what a low-life he is.

9. Which video?

I don't watch TV news so I probably missed what you're talking about. If it's on the Internet, could you give me a link?

6. I think a more astounding comment by Allen...

came after he called the guy "Macaca." He then said, "welcome to the REAL world of Virginia." THAT speaks volumes.

8. Macacallen is grateful

to Foley ...
