Great diary: it takes Barfbag DOWN so eloquently.

An Indian American Kossak utterly and completely smacks down Allen, while completely inspiring readers of the American Dream. If I could double recommend it I would. Take a look (btw, there ARE freepers on Kos -- take the vote -- only one good choice, but some chose the uglier words, which is either a mistake, sarcasm, or freepers).

1. Wow, that is a beautiful diary

Someone psoted that it belongs in a dailykos "diary hall of fame" and I think I agree.

I really wish they'd frontpage it.

2. I REALLY wish it would appear as an op-ed in my newspaper

People need to understand what it's like to be on the receiving end of such bigotry. To be honest, I was too busy giggling at what an idiot Allen was and watching Webb move up in the polls to really take to heart what had happened. This kid, who is a college student and a volunteer for a Senate campaign, was reduced to only being a "brown person". And by a U.S. senator, no less. I'm sure at the time he was thrilled to have the scoop, but man, that had to hurt.

It did get a small write up in Time magazine, but apart from the politics, I think more needs to be said about it, like this poster did.

3. Just saw this in another thread; the OP went to a lot of effort, and

does it ever show. Simply excellent; someone suggested every member of Congress get a copy. I agree, if only to warn them of Allen's character.

4. Outstanding! Thanks for posting the link!

I wish I could still recommend this diary. Have you posted the link in GD?

Lowell just posted this in the diary:

Allen pictured with some good old fashioned white supremicists. I tell you, this Allen is a racist story ain't going away anytime soon. You know why? Because it's true.
