George 'MACACA' Allen Wants To RUN for Senate AGAIN

[Segami]

" Former Virginia Sen. George Allen, who was coasting to re-election in 2006 until he called someone, on video, the obscure racial epithet "macaca," is prepping a 2012 Senate run for his old seat! Finally, things are returning to normal.


George Allen calling his opponent's gaffe-tracker a "macaca" was the original "YouTube moment" in politics, where saying something really racist on tape derails an entire campaign. But that was four years ago! Now George Allen knows everything about the Internet. He even has one of those Facebook thingies that Hollywood's always making movies about:


POLITICO has learned that Allen, the Republican who was ousted from his seat in 2006 by Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, recently huddled with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn to discuss a prospective bid. He is also burnishing his profile through a series of public events, spreading cash through his political action committee and has even launched a Facebook page.

A poll last year showed that many Virginians wanted their old racist Senator Allen back, so fair enough. Bring on the Restoration! This whole "Democratic Virginia" experiment over the past few election cycles clearly could never last.

1. Webb has been a disappointing timid Democrat

but Jeezus, Senator Macaca, WTF. Hard to imagine but possible I guess.

3. He must have been inspired with all the open faced racist candidates running. I guess he figured

whats a little ' Macaca ' slip of his racist forked tongue next to some of the hate-filled comments being lobbed by Tea Party/Republican candidates who are still in the running? It must give him a warm sense of re-newed hope.

2. Of course he does

Racists slurs have become all the rage within the republican/tea party. It has become so acceptable that now you are questionable to them if you don't make a racist statement.

4. he's tame compared to the teafuckers of today....it's a sad world

5. Funny thing is, many Indians were upset that he went down for saying that

because they knew that he was going to sell out American workers to India

They're pretty pragmatic, his actions meant far more to them than one word

it was funny to see their frustration in blogs over it

6. Saw this coming a mile away

As somebody who lives in Virginia and has watched Allen; he wants to be President. Scary.

7. He spouted off a little too early. If he had said Macaca NOW, he would have been showered with roses

and bon-bons.. The teabag people have proved that there is no lower limit on bad taste and iniquity. he will fit right in with the "new kids"..

8. After this year and some of these candidates, Allen will be back.

[la la]

9. he thought 'we'd' forget..

but the teabaggers make it okay now, to be an idiot in public.
