Macaca Man is back: George Allen: ‘Americans are not addicted to oil, they’re addicted to freedom.’

George Allen: ‘Americans are not addicted to oil, they’re addicted to freedom.’»

Today on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, former Virgina governor George Allen (R) scoffed at claims that Americans are addicted to oil, calling it “an elitist point of view.” Allen insisted it was freedom, not oil, that Americans were actually addicted to:

ALLEN: I love that statement, America is addicted to oil. What an elitist point of view. Americans are not addicted to oil. Americans are addicted to freedom — the freedom and liberty to move where and when we want.

Allen stands alone in his defiance. Alongside energy experts and progressive politicians, prominent members of Allen’s own party have long since admitted the truth. In 2006, President Bush declared, “America is addicted to oil,” and just this past June, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) said, “America is so addicted to oil it will take us years to wean ourselves from it.” Does Allen think Bush and Schwarzenegger are elitists?

1. This man's dumber than a bag of hammers.

Does he really think "freedom" is earned by buying oil from Saudi Arabia?

6. Allen

i'm so glad i helped "welcome you to the real world of Virginia" back in 2006.
thank goodness Webb is our senator now.

[lurky]

7. "America needs freedom detox!"

"We need to get the freedom monkey off America's back!"

[MiniMe]

8. Lets thank God that Webb beat him in 2006

If he didn't, I think Macaca would be the candidate. And I think he would have a better chance to win than McSame.

[Greg K]

9. Freedom Fuel? nt

[MikeNearMcChord]

10. So we 're addicted to freedom

Is that why the Bush administration was spending the last eight years by getting us to quit cold turkey, by the Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act, the FISA BIll and so on and so on.

[Alexander]

11. Remember when this idiot was the shoo-in for 2008?

My, how times change.

[djkevvy]

12. I've got a fever... And the only cure is MORE FASCISM!

[arcadian]

13. I like to do Freedom speedballs.

That's a mix of jingoistic false patriotism and symbol/flag worship. I shoot it directly into my cock. The same way Macaca does.

[saltpoint]

14. A debt of thanks is owed to the great Democrats who volunteered for

Jim Webb's campaign in the 2006 Senate race in Virginia -- from one end of the state to the other.

Without their support for Webb, that way-too-close election would have retained Cement-Head George Allen and likely propelled him to the Republican nomination.

Thank you, Virginia Democrats. Thank you for a MAJOR save.

[liberalpragmatist]

15. "Republican Frontrunner for 2008"!

Good thing Webb beat him. But it would have been fun to beat this dimwit this year.

[Odin2005]

16. This is the BS they are going to use to stop us freeing ourselves from oil. Just watch.

They are gonna be screaming "Environmentalists want to take away your cars and force you to live in inner-city ghettoes," out from the rooftops. :grr:

18. Except if you're a slave in Macaca Man's wishful world
