Your going to believe a man that is coming out of the political closet after thirty years to do a character assasination?

Do you have reading comprehension difficulties? Where did I say I believed the accusation? What I do know is Allen called someone a macaca in public. Since the guy he called macaca wasn't white, Allen's done. He could have coasted to re-election and planned for '08 if had been at all careful.

I dunno. The kid he called Macaca was working for the dems and got his rocks off spreading the tale, i think the kid was macaca.

On Friday, August 11, 2006, at a campaign stop in Breaks, Virginia, near the Kentucky border, U.S. Senator George Allen twice used a word that sounds like "macaca" to refer to S.R. Sidarth, who was filming the event as a "tracker" for the opposing Jim Webb campaign. Sidarth is of Indian ancestry, but was born and raised in Fairfax County, Virginia. The incident has resulted in a significant reduction in Allen's lead over Webb in most polls, and cast doubt upon the outcome of the November election.

This incident is an ALLEGATION, made by a supporter of his opponent.

On August 16, the National Journal reported that two Virginia Republicans who heard the word used by Allen's campaign staff said "macaca" was a neologism created from "Mohawk" and "caca," Spanish slang for excrement. "Said one Republican close to the campaign: 'In other words, [Sidarth] was a shit-head, an annoyance.'"

Which Sidarth most probably was.

Easy to see why you were banned in the first place.

So, here's your original post: What pisses me off is Allen should know better than to compare anyone to a monkey, or whatever he did. Now all these accusations at least have people thinking. I was all for Allen '08, now I'm having to rethink. Anyone got an opinion on Mitt Romney? Surely he can't be as dumb as Allen's remark was.

And what pisses me off is by making the statement quoted above you are believing what the liberal media throws at you. I could ask the question again, "Do you believe..." but I'll just let you think about it a little longer.

The guy he called "macaca" is white ~ probably much more so than most Freepers who think they are white.

The problem for Allen is not the accusations, it's the way he handles them. He is simply not quick enough. Romney is very smooth. He can answer an accusation and make it sound like it was nothing and is believable. He became a Republican gov. of the most liberal state on the East coast and he wasn't even from there.

I think Evangelical Christians will not be too concerned about his being a Morman because they know that Mormans usually try to live moral lives. These days, if a politician has a sense of Christian morality, Christians will accept his method of worship. I have predicted that Romney will be the GOP nominee. He is the only man out there with the necessary talent to win. I may have to eat my hat, but that's my "feeling" and I'm sticking to it.
