Nice long article regarding racist George Allen coming in New Republic

[The_Casual_Observer]

May Issue. Includes details about his high school "pranks" described in posts my me and fellow DUer LibDemAlways a few weeks ago. This is sweet.

Please take a look and e-mail it to your friends. Allen is busted!

2. I hope they talk about the noose/tree decor he had in his office

when he was the governor of VA. People need to understand that these folks are still out there, and some are in elected office. I'll never understand how a nice place like VA could have elected him for anything - I wouldn't let him tie my shoes.

3. It's all there, including the racist graffiti incident that

you may not be aware of. I linked to the article in my post above. Happy reading.

4. Thanks for the link, I think - why do people still tolerate this stuff?

"None of this means Allen is a racist, of course." - Right. They didn't hang bad guys from trees in the west, they had real gallows. My mind can't even speak English when I read/hear/have to deal with these kind of folks.

He needs to be publicly shamed to the point that he no longer feels comfortable leaving his home.

5. Well I went to high school with George Allen and saw with

my own eyes the racist graffiti he spraypainted on the walls of the school. Classmates are finally coming forward and talking on the record about this. George Allen was so well known for his racism that when the graffiti was discovered, school officials knew right away who was responsible.

I suppose it's just a coincidence that his son Forrest shares a name with General Nathan Forrest, an early well-known Ku Klux Klan leader.

The thought of this guy being taken seriously as a Presidential candidate is frightening. Then again, millions voted for the current band of criminals in the WH.

6. This is so sick

I hope it gets out to the media big time. Where does a racist come off from in thinking he should hold public office?

7. Aside from the race issue, we have yet another phony cowboy on our hands

I've noticed that every repub who makes a big show of being a shitkicking cowboy is a hundred percetn phony. Reagan, Bush, and now Allen. All filthy rich, pampered white boys born nowhere near the South and think they're John Wayne. And the people who vote for them don't appear to be perceptive enough to pick up on this, so I guess it works.

8. Yeah, they mount a horse

and the freeper types yell Yes! (As long as they are far right wing theocrats who hate gays)
