Ha ha ha -- George Allen's Macaca Damage Control Pisses off his Base!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

U.S. Sen. George Allen once again is being told to lay off the Confederate flag.

But this time, it’s not from the people who abhor the Dixie symbol. It’s from the people who revere it.

State leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have scheduled a news conference Thursday to criticize Allen’s recent acknowledgement that the Confederate flag can be seen as a symbol of hate.

“George Allen was a good friend of ours and we don’t appreciate him turning on us to get out of political trouble,” said Frank Earnest of Virginia Beach, commander of the Virginia division of the SCV. “He’s degraded us, the flag and our heritage.”

Poor Senator Macacawitz. In trying to pretend he's not racist, he's alienating the racists whose vote he used to count on!

:rofl:

[tularetom]

1. Hey Jeeyews can't hide behind the confederate flag

It was o-tay with them before they found out Macaca was Jewish.

[VeggieTart]

6. He's what we call a shanda fer de goyim

And what is it with Civil War reenactors? I don't see the British reenacting the Revolutionary War. And just what "heritage" is it you're talking about?

[Journeyman]

8. Whatever do you mean? Judah P. Benjamin was the Confederate's. . .

first Attorney General (1861), then its Secretary of War (1861-1862), and finished as its Secretary of State (1862-1865). He was the son of Sephardic Jews who later formed the first Reform congregation in the States. Throughout his life, Benjamin neither hid his heritage nor renounced his religion.

[VeggieTart]

11. George Allen is the shame.

I think it sucks that his mom is Jewish. He's one famous person I'd rather NOT claim.

[Imagevision]

29. Allen and Santorum, both liars, no place in government for racists!

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. It's best to stay away from the confederate flag altogether

bad juju.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Whoops. George talked about the fight club.

Now he's got to turn in his hood.

[LTR]

4. Uhh... last I checked the Confederate flag is not the official flag...

...of our country.

What are these idiots, 150 years old?

Methinks they watched too many Dukes of Hazzard episodes.

[w4rma]

14. It wasn't even the official flag of the Confederacy. (nt)

[9119495]

17. Yeah, but the damn Mexicans with their flags have to be deported

So if the Mexican flag is treasonous in Southern California and Texas in the eyes of your psycho republican, then why is displaying the Confederate flag not treasonous in the south?

[FredScuttle]

5. "He degraded us, the flag and our heritage"....LOL

So, he degraded a bunch of treason apologists, the flag of a loser secession movement and a heritage steeped in racism and ignorance.

I'm actually starting to warm to Felix Macacawitz-Bergstein

[stevietheman]

21. Yeah, a heritage of affirming slavery is not one to be proud of.

And by the way, the Union won, so if people can't accept that after 150 years, they need to leave the country. (what's good for the goose is good for the gander)

[Leopolds Ghost]

7. The First Rule of the Confederate Flag Club is...

Nobody talks about the Confederate Flag.

The second rule is, Nobody talks about Macaca.

The third rule is, onle one racial epithet at a time.

The fourth rule is, only one man to a white sheet.

The fifth rule is, you run a Senate race, you lose, you tap out. The race is over.

;-)

[npincus]

19. Friends of Allen

[underpants]

30. The fourth rule is, only one man to a white sheet

:rofl:

The republicans should use that for their gay bashing campaign.

[ourbluenation]

9. Macacawitz! Oh my.....

:rofl:

[bklyncowgirl]

10. Senator Macacawitz, I love it! What a jerk.

Pisses off the Sons of Confederate Veterans as he desperately tries to hang on to those people who don't still think that the Civl War is still going on.

Oh I feel a cartoon coming on and I better do it before Senator Macacawitz disappears into the dustbin of political trivia.

[longship]

12. Oh, this is so, so-o-o-o-o sweet.

Macaca reaps the whirlwind.
Truly there is justice in the universe.

[Ashy Larry]

13. It was this picture

that really pissed them off.

"You've changed George. You've changed."

[LibDemAlways]

26. That picture brings to mind an Allen story

a former high school classmate of ours, who also attended Univ. of Virginia with Allen, told me. One day before class Allen and some other guys were talking about a football game in which a black player missed a pass in the endzone in the final seconds. Allen's comment, "If it was a watermelon, he'd have caught it." That's who George Allen is - racist to the core.

[Ganja Ninja]

15. I knew they'd turn on him after they found out he's part Jewish.

Looks like all the winking and back slapping with the Klan is over for George. His social schedule is going to be a lot less hectic from now on.

[rateyes]

16. One question about his sentence from the racists;

“He’s degraded us, the flag and our heritage.”

How in the hell does one degrade a piece of shit?

[civildisoBDence]

20. I'm gaddamn proud of my ancestors, as I'm sure you are

I'm not getting into a flame war over my heritage, but the piece of shit you refer to is between your ears.

[rateyes]

22. Hello there, fellow Georgian...

welcome to DU! What Allen said about the Confederate Flag (though it was politically motivated designed to get him out of trouble) is true. For some, it's a symbol of torture, lynchings, and hate in general. You can be proud of your heritage, and I'm glad you are. But, it's the "flaggers" who demean their own heritage, not those opposed to the Confederate Battle Flag.

Now, I will overlook your damned stupid insult.

[classysassy]

24. Name calling

is counter productive,but when it come down to racism,if your ancestors were racist,shit is what it is.

[adamuu]

18. ROFL

:rofl:
nutjobs.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Tie a pork chop around his neck so his dog will play with him...

I think that's what his Mamma had to do!

[Zambero]

25. Allen has painted himself into a corner

Unfortunately for him, the paint will still be thick and wet come election day!

[fascismsucks]

27. "Poor Senator MACACAWITZ"!!!! :rofl:

Oh Gawd!! That quote was so funny, I HAD to repeat it!
"Poor Senator Macacawitz. In trying to pretend he's not racist, he's alienating the racists whose vote he used to count on!"


:rofl:

[sendero]

28. Me too..

... laugh out loud funny. :)
