Excellent WAPO LTTE smack-downs of cacaforbrains Allen....
Can't get a link so I will post excerpts:



It is quite shocking for a person of Mr. Allen's caliber who is running for president in 2008 to point a finger at a young lad of 20, bullying our grandson, R.R. Sidarth, and calling him a derogatory and uncalled-for name. Sidarth was only videotaping the event.

In the 1930s Sidarth's great-grandfather accompanied Mohandas Gandhi to London as his secretary to the Round Table conference on political reform in India. We come from a heritage of nationalists and seekers after truth. Hence these remarks hurt all the more, and we are personally affected by such an attack.


:applause:

Another one:



I'm a constituent who has lived and paid taxes in Virginia for more than 30 years, yet a staffer told me that I "did not sound like I grew up in Virginia". This ad hominem attack came after a long and detailed discussion about the senator's vote on legislation concerning stem cell research.

A letter sent to the senator suggesting that he had a staff problem when constituents are treated in such an inappropriate manner also received no response. Now it looks as if the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

:headbang: :woohoo:

1. Unfortunately, most of his constituents are as racist as he is.

4. That's what he'd like to think anyway...
there's a big difference between constituents and supporters, which, much like the idiot-in-chief, this assclown doesn't seem to grasp.

I've had the same experience with his office. If you are not lock-step with his beliefs, he puts you on ignore. He is the worst kind of panderer there is.

I know someone who is involved in the Virginia chapter of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, a rather large organization. They sent him a letter about some legislation they were trying to get him to support, and NEVER REPLIED TO IT. That kind of stuff eventually comes back and bites you on the ass.

I think his race with Webb is going to be much tigher than what the polls are indicating right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

8. Not this one.
And although I am a constituent, I'm not a supporter. I despise him.

2. I need a new outrage meter,
one which starts at overload and goes up from there.

The asylum needs new management.

3. Excellent responses.
Mr. Sidarth's family must be quite prominent. His grandfather's association with Gandhi is impressive.

The Allen staffer is just like Allen: a stupid and dumb as a rock. Allen didn't grow up in Virginia either. I would be enraged if a staffer treated me like that.

10. Probably not...
he named his kid after a one of the first leaders of the KKK, and his only claim to fame is that his father was a football coach.

6. Hell, Allen grew up in Southern California!
His accent is just as fake as that of the Chimp!

7. Yes, and the irony is...
he's trying to paint Webb as a "Hollywood" outsider. Webb was born and raised in Virginia. What a joke!

:silly:
