George Allen Becomes a LIfetime Member of the NAACP
At a campaign event yesterday, George Allen responded enthusiastically to an invitation to join the NAACP - until he found out about the $750.00 price tag for a lifetime membership. After asking about other options, (and clearly being on the spot) he joined anyway. ROFLMAO!

Anyone have any suggestions for George as to the best use for his membership card? I have a feeling it will otherwise be gathering dust.

1. A piece of paper won't make up for what he's said and done.
Unfortunately, many voters won't understand this and vote for him anyway. :eyes:

3. The sad truth is that many voters will vote
for Allen because of what he's said and done.....

6. I don't live in Richmond anymore but
I heard that the Richmond Voice endorsed Allen. This can't be true! Anyone know?

10. This is crazy!
How could the VFW endorse Allen when Webb is the war vet?????

Did Allen even serve?

11. Will the NAACP allow Allen to wear his Klan Sheets and hood?
Will they let Allen bring a macaca to their meetings?

13. Allen never served. He was vacationing on
dude ranches and partying in college while Webb was in Vietnam.

2. Sounds like a set-up by a well-paid campaign strategist
And I fear it will assuage some feelings and help the idiot's campaign.

4. This should go over big with his racist buds
First they find out he's a Jeeeeyew and now this. He'll probably have to turn in his hood and sheet.

9. I guess Allen will support the NAACP's SC boycott
over the Confederate flag on statehouse grounds? I presume he won't be campaigning there or spending money in the state.

12. If Elections Were Held This Tuesday
You could be sure he would have a stop payment on that check. Let the NAACP use the money wisely.

14. You've got that right. It probably killed him
to write that check. I'll bet he's already billed his campaign for the $750.00. No way in hell he's going to pay for an NAACP membership out of his personal funds.
