George Allen and his bigotry has sunk to a new low
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 12:30 AM by BrentTaylor
This guy and his RSNC have a ad running here in NC attacking Bowles on immigration. Saying Bowles and Clinton helped immigrants get benefits when our own citizens need them.

It goes on to say that Bowles now wants to help immigrants with College tution when our OWN people need help with tutition.

Do these people even try to hide their bigotry any more? Bowles is in serious shit in this state. I've never seen such an outrageous ad in all my years of following politics. Unreal

Just reading around it looks like Bowles is trying to get them to stop running the ad

2. George Allen attended Palos Verdes High School in 1970
in Palos Verdes, Ca. He was caught spray painting racially inspired commentary on the exterior walls of the school. He actually had to get on the school's PA system one morning and apologize. I believe he also had a confederate flag affixed to his car. He was the quarterback of the varsity football team and his father was head coach of the LA Rams. I am sure enough people are still around that know of Allen's background which will prevent him from any further political ambitions beyond the Senate.

4. This guy is headed for the U.S. SENATE? Running against Bowles?
Sorry to be so ignorant of NC politics. Do you think this is common knowledge there?

5. George Allen is already in the U.S. Senate.
He is a former Gov. of Virginia and defeated Chuck Robb in 2000 to become Virginia's Jr. Senator. He is also a horrible human being. I was in his high school graduating class and witnessed firsthand what the poster above alluded to. He spraypainted anti-white graffiti on the walls of the high school in an effort to stir up racial animosity toward the students at a predominently black school our team was scheduled to play. He was probably the only kid in Southern California to proudly display the Confederate flag on his car. He left for Virginia shortly after graduation and never looked back.

Members of our class contacted the media in Virginia about Allen's racist past, but to no avail. The whores weren't interested in following up. I also personally contacted the Robb campaign, and urged them to contact others in the class for corroboration, but not sure they did so.

6. Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the least
I was watching pompous George Allen on CSPAN in a senate preview show when I stumbled onto this thread. Allen looks like a guy whose smug face would be a splendid recipient of my left fist. He's standing behind Jon Corzine right now as I watch this, with an idiotic little grin.

He's been giving the standard crap about every GOP senate nominee, how wonderful they are personally and remarkable legislators. DeMint sounded like the best person on the planet, if you listened to Allen. And Tom Daschle is the number one obstructionist in the history of the senate.

Allen is always verbally pummeled when I watch him on political shows. Corzine is now lecturing Allen on litigation realities, trying his damndest not to laugh at Allen's ignorance.

8. I haven't seen any Corzine ads
Bowles is being outnumber 6-1 when you count Burr and the RSNC together.
