Macaca Allen expects a whopping crowd of 1000 at his "minority unity rally"

[Happyhippychick]

And I do believe that he is being WAAAAAAAY optimistic on that number. Oh I hope there will be cameras....

Northern Virginia Republicans, realizing they need to improve their appeal among the region's large ethnic population, will stage a "unity" rally Saturday that they say will draw 1,000 people.

Organizers said the annual rally, which has grown in recent years, is particularly significant this year because ethnic minorities represent an increasingly powerful voting bloc that will help decide which presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain, wins the state Nov. 4.

1. Again, Republicans believe people are stupid

As if this will bring any minorities to the Republican side. They really ought to give up.

[Happyhippychick]

2. Of all the people to do it - the one who called someone of color "macaca". What ijits.

[vaberella]

18. I thought it was his gofer/asisstant he called that. n/t

[Happyhippychick]

32. No, it was a young man asking a question who is Indian. There is a video of the whole thing.

[rurallib]

3. Maybe if they give away a meal and beer?

Maybe Miss Buffalo Chip would pony up for some free Buds?

[wilt the stilt]

4. who's bringing the confererate flag and noose

n/t

[IndianaJones]

5. didn't the guy apologize for saying that? nt.

[Happyhippychick]

7. No, he denied that he meant "monkey" and that he's a bigoted a-hole.

[vaberella]

17. Which we all know he is since I believe he visited the area regularly & new what the term meant. n/t

[IndianaJones]

30. I believe he did apologize to the person involved. nt.

[skooooo]

6. How could the minorities ever unify without him??

:shrug:



:rofl:

[AspenRose]

19. Oh, they unified all right

Unified to vote his a** out of office :rofl:

[skooooo]

26. kick that effer to the curb!!

:thumbsup:

[Vinca]

8. Minority unity and George Allen - that's a joke, right? nt

[L0oniX]

9. Maybe they should try having a few beer kegs there to increase the crowd size.

[dgibby]

10. WHAT minority? KKK? nt

[firedupdem]

12. Not really familiar with Northern Virginia...are you saying that

the KKK would be outnumbered there?

[AspenRose]

16. Absolutely

NoVA is incredibly diverse and democratic (metropolitan DC area)

It gets more "red" the further outside the beltway you get

[dgibby]

20. Yes

Northern Va. tends to be much more liberal, more "northern" than "southern". I'm from the middle western part of the state, but went to college at George Mason U., was stationed in the Tidewater area with the Navy, and there are marked regional differences. The area where I grew up trends red (except for my family,who's still there doing missionary work for the Dems-lol), Tidewater is somewhat mixed-large military population. As far as I can tell, it looks like the state may be trending purple. It's still a toss-up, but still winnable for the Dems.

11. Think about it

If he hadn't said that one word he would be Senator and Webb would be out.

He was the favorite to be the nominee and he may not have won but his entry into the race would certainly have narrowed it to a 3 way race with Romney Allen and McCain.

If he didn't get the nomination he almost certainly would have been the VP pick - Rep right to lifer Senator from PA - couldn't pass that up - there would have been no Palin.

All because of one word. lol

[ClarkUSA]

15. Liberal bloggers can take a bow for his fall.

If it weren't for us driving the raging story/YouTube viral video relentlessly, the MSM would never have picked it up, much less run with it.

[Happyhippychick]

33. Not only that, he was THE guy the pukes were grooming for the White House.

His macaca comment is what set the whole Republican primary into dissaray.

[ClarkUSA]

13. He wants to run for governor after Kaine's term is over -- probably against Terry McAwful

That should be an interesting race, to say the least.

[vaberella]

14. He won't get 500, unless he kidnaps them.

As I've heard the Repubs have been doing at their rallies, not allowing people to leave until it's over.

[dgibby]

21. OMG!

Wouldn't that be considered kidnapping? Point me to the next repuke rally-I LOVE the smell of republican money!

[vaberella]

25. Hah. Yeah, in the rally when Palin was picked.

A poster came and complained here about it. She was at the rally because they wouldn't allow people to leave once they were in. I think it was in a school gymnasium and everyone in the building was stuck.

[LynneSin]

22. I guess if they count the protestors that will show up - they could get near 1000

outside of that it will probably end up looking like this:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. He'll need to borrow Palin's tanning bed.

[RichGirl]

24. LOL!

Set at 400 for half an hour...ready!

[rvablue]

27. I was lucky enough to have the honor of voting against this asshat!

[Happyhippychick]

34. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Nikki Stone1]

28. Good luck on that one.

LOL!!!

[Nikki Stone1]

29. Good luck on that one.

LOL!!!

31. Lord Macaca is doing a "minority unity rally"?

Fuck, I just bought a new Irony Meter--and the fuckers have to snap the needle off it.

[RagAss]

35. 1000 ? Are they passing out crack ?
