I Love Black People!Posted on Aug 28, 2006
In an apparent attempt to control the fallout of his ostensibly racist “macaca” remark, Virginia Sen. George Allen has updated his website with a picture of him embracing a woman with dark skin. But the damage has been done. He’s losing in the polls to his rival for the Senate (and Allen was until recently being touted as presidential material…). (h/t: HuffPo)

I fervently hope that Jim Webb will defeat George Allen. This country desperately needs men like Jim Webb in office in Washington—he’s Naval Academy grad, served with honor as a Marine officer in Vietnam—unlike our president and Allen, Jim Webb knows war and the terrible cost it exacts. Read his books about Vietnam. You won’t forget them. And Jim Webb won’t be a one-issue Senator; he’s a lawyer also, so he can analyze legislation from the legal angle. Jim Webb has the intelligence, the determination and the INTEGRITY to be a great Senator. You can be sure he won’t be calling people by offensive names. Jim Webb learned in the Marines and Naval Academy that good people and patriots can come from any ethnic group.

It doesn’t take much for people to do the math on this one. Surely, a Republican from Virginia should be more careful. Check out this guy’s profile, he’s about as extreme as they come:

You are who and what you are allen, whatever damage control ain’t gonna change who you are and you are one racist senator.
Allen is the shame of America.
