George Felix Allen Is A Racist
We have a DUer who witnessed his racism in a California high school.

We have 3 team mates who witnessed his racism in college.

We have the noose incident in his office.

We have the macaca incident.

We have him denying his Jewish heritage and considering it an insult for anyone to suggest that he's Jewish.

He's a racist, pure and simple. If DU can't agree on that, with all the evidence at hand, then what the hell can we agree on?

There's a pattern of racism, not just a 30 year old comment. He's recently used racial slurs, unlike his opponent. We have a right to expect our fellow citizens to not elect racists into OUR Senate.

Now does anybody really and truly disagree with this??

3. People argued in that other thread
I can argue about just about anything, anywhere, at any time. But to argue about these racist comments of Allen's, that's just beyond belief to me. I don't see how it gets any clearer, and it certainly isn't petty.

4. But of course he is!
More than enough evidence from the man himself. The game Felix is trying to play is the same old GOP game- let your base know you are one of them (wink, wink) while maintianing a public facade for the press so you don't get grilled on it. Works almost every time.

5. Whatever happened to the left in the Dem party
on this issue?

Have they been cowered by the Republican cries of "race baiting" and the "race card"?

It's time the left stood up and finally started calling these bastards out. I make no excpetion for the 9/11 conspiracy theorists who are in league with Neo Nazis either.

11. We have the head of a dead deer
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 08:11 PM by ProSense

Senator Accused of Using Racially Charged Term

Snip...

Dr. Shelton, a radiologist now living in North Carolina, said that on a hunting trip Mr. Allen had sought out the home of an African American and affixed the head of a dead deer to the mailbox...

12. I don't know of anyone on DU who doesn't think Allen's a racist.
My dad is not quite as liberal as I am and tends to try and find obscure explanations for people's words, but when the macaca issue came up in the MTP debate and Allen tried whatever excuse he's using these days, he immediately believed that Allen is a racist.

13. Regarding the "n" word
Some said he had used it a long time ago and it was petty. Others said Webb had made comments about women. Some compared it to Byrd. I was amazed that anybody could have an opposing view on something so blatant, but they did. :crazy:
