A New Explanation For "Macaca?"

Hotline On Call ^ | August 16, 2006 | JONATHAN MARTIN AND MARC AMBINDER

It's between a Mohawk and a mullet...

Looks more like macaca.

"I don't know what's worse; calling this innocent

"innocent"? "INNOCENT"? Pah-lease. He was an operative using aggressive guerilla tactics. What he did was not illegal or even wrong, but he's not innocent. Why is it that Democrats cannot issue a sentence without lying?

The term was used to demean him.

Awwwww, poor baby. If he doesn't want to be demeaned, then maybe he's better suited for envelope-stuffer. BTW, this kid is a journalist. Have ANY of these stories mentioned that he's a senior staff writer for the UVA newspaper? Todd said Webb "just wants to get beyond all this" and focus on issues.

Yeah, it tells me that the Indian community is not so keen on such obvious and ham-handed race baiting.

[AmishDude]

I heard that in Swahili, it also means "end table". And I think "strategery" means "Harry Reid has sex with goats" in the ancient Aztec language, and...

[AmishDude]

I guess I would have called him "Forrest Gump" but that's just me.

[AmishDude]

Mama always said "stupid is as stupid does".

[Niteranger68]

Oh for goodness sake. The guy probably is a g**d*** monkey. One with very tender feelings I might add. Maybe his mom was an ape and his dad was a gorilla, which makes him a mixed-breed monkey. Just how many bananas does it take to say "I'm sorry"?

[BallyBill]

When I was a baby I smeared MaCaca all over the walls once. Mom was mad too!

Rush just played a montage of Democrat slurs and asked 'where's the outrage?'

Transcript & audio should be up by 5:00pm

"I don't know what's worse; calling this innocent 20-year-old a "shit head" or a racist slur that was debatable that it wasn't," she said. "This is a kid that had done George Allen no harm. The term was used to demean him. That's the bottom line."

Wow. This kid is such a victim, he might be a good candidate for the Black Macaucus. He'd fit right in and hit the ground running.

[Suzy Quzy]

Let's call him what he is..a STALKER!!

Do the Republicans have Stalkers...NO they don't because they are adults...the Dems are childish asses.

[Suzy Quzy]

LOL!! Macaca happens!!

[Kenton]

Not if you, like 99% of Americans, have no idea what a macaque is.

Well, I guess that 99% of Americans would have be be unable to use Google, which is how I found it out. I knew it was a word I'd heard, but I had no idea what it was, unless it was some kind of parrot. But it really does have a meaning.

I think the speculation that it was intended to mean "sh*t-head" was pretty stupid, esp. coming from other Repubs. Some people just need to learn when to open their mouths, and when to keep them shut.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The only reason the media is pumping this up is that the victim is a Republican. They always IGNORE worse things said by their own liberal leftists.
The double standard.

[Gone GF]

"Do the Republicans have Stalkers...NO they don't because they are adults.."

Don't be naive.

"I don't know what's worse; calling this innocent 20-year-old a "shit head" or a racist slur that was debatable that it wasn't," she said. "This is a kid that had done George Allen no harm."

He wasn't innocent he was working for the other campaign. The mere fact that he was present at the Allen event meant he was intending to cause harm. Screw him, he's an adult. Maybe an adult with a bad haircut but an adult all the same.

[HawaiianGecko]

The term was used to demean him.

Big deal! If the guy is such a pansy he needs to find another profession.

Choose the meaning that fits your mood from below.

pansy

n 1: large-flowered garden plant derived chiefly from the wild pansy of Europe and having velvety petals of various colors [syn: Viola tricolor hortensis]

2: a timid man or boy considered childish or unassertive [syn: sissy, pantywaist, milksop, Milquetoast]

3: offensive terms for an openly homosexual man [syn: fagot, faggot, fag, fairy, nance, queen, queer, poof, poove, pouf]

 

[TaxRelief]

I really thought he said "more poo-poo" or the equivalent. Most people pronounce the monkey word: mu-kok or ree-sus.

[TaxRelief]

Either way, he looks like Wilson:


or a thistle head:

[mrsmith]

He didn't say "macaque", he said "macaca" which has no meaning in english, the language George Allen uses.
I wish the media would make up people's minds whether to criticize Allen for insulting the guy in a language Allen doesn't know...
or for mispronouncing "macaque"!

" It was a play on the loser's nickname: "Mohawk", for his mohawk haircut. Someone who was there will eventually reveal what was really said.
I'd guess Allen said "moh-caca".

I can't see a reason to ignore the obvious.
