Man, George really seems to have gotten his winky in a wringer.
SCV better watch out ... doe head in the mailbox time
Allen sounds more and more like a looseer, even if he wins.
I'm depressed.
Not too many candidates can alienate blacks and the Sons of Confederate Veterans at the same time.
WHere the heck does macaca come from anyway? I thought I knew them all - apparently that was one word I nver heard before.

I think it's time for everyone to step back and take a deep breath about all of this apologizing.
Actually, I think it may be time to have a good laugh about all of this.
I like Senator Allen, and I'm going to vote for him.
I think Mr. Webb is a garden variety Democrat who brings positively nothing to the race - except that he is in it.
Man, I could use a drink!
Is this scrapple face??
If not, this is funny stuff.
Man! It looks like everyone hates Allen these days. It's amazing that he's leading in the polls, huh?
Now an entire organization with over 4000 members throughout the South hates him too. I guess he's done for now, eh?
Geez, Allen can't catch a break sideways! Just goes to show how powerful these election-time attacks can be, regardless of how baseless they may (or may not) be.
I'm very disappointed in George Allen. He has demonstrated a lack of character in the manner he has handled these matters.
When did Conservatives turn into such a bunch of crybabies. Instead of DEFENDING their own against a transpeent smear job some Freepers are turning French and waving the white flag without a fight.
Really pathetic to see how utterly gutless certain segments of the "Conservatives" have become. All the Leftist have to do is scream accusations at them and they fold like cheap table cloths. Utterly pathetic
Allen needs to learn:
You can appease some of the people some of the time,
and you can appease all of the people some of the time,
but you can't appease all of the people all the time.
Now, they have him on the run -- from both sides.
As much as I love the SCV and the fight they've pursued for Confederate heritage, I do kind of wish that they'd pursued this a little more quietly. No, I don't think Allen should've embarked on the apologizing that he did, but in the current political climate I can understand why he felt like he had to.
I understand how they feel, though, I do wish he'd stood up more strongly against the macaca caca and not let people use the flag against him. But what are they going to do? Vote for Born Idiot?

Gee, Webb's campaign guru "Mudflap" Saunder is a member of the Sons of Confederate Vets. Could THAT have anything to do with this, hmmmm?
thanks for the ping Moose4
I am honored to be a long standing member of the SCV and UCV. However, the job of the SCV should be to honor those that passed and be the caretakers of the history and items that our ancestors left. Entering into the fray of racial or Civil War politics is a no win situation for Allen or the SCV. The SCV members of Virginia are only opening themselves up to ridicule and unwarranted scrutiny. This bonehead move by the SCV in Virginia will ultimately backfire. No one said that many of the members of the SCV were logical and politically savvy.
Good.
When are these people going to quit measuring by the ME standard. Everything with them is ME ME ME. Our country is in dire need of statemen like George Allan. Whatever he said 30 years ago or whatever "Macaca" means is absolutely nothing compared to who we need in the Senate to regain some semblence of reality and help President Bush elect another conservative to the Supreme Court. Otherwise our nation is lost.
