On August 17, 2006, I wrote an article titled: “Macaca and Terror Politics - America is headed the wrong way!” — in which I chastised George Allen, the former Senator for Virginia, a Republican Presidential hopeful at that time, for calling a student of Indian descent a “Monkey” in coded racist language.
Allen said: “Let’s give a welcome to Macaca, here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia………”
It has been reported widely that Northern Virginia Republicans, realizing they need to improve their appeal among the region’s large ethnic population, will stage a “unity” rally next Saturday — to attract ethnic minorities who “represent an increasingly powerful voting bloc.”
Organizers said the annual rally, which has grown in recent years, is particularly significant this year because ethnic minorities represent an increasingly powerful voting bloc that will help decide which presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain, wins the state Nov. 4.
George Allen among others is expected to spearhead this GOP “minority reach” event.
LOL!
This is the same man who has in the past:
1. Led the charge against a holiday for Martin Luther King - a prince of racial peace.
2. Is a key figure in fueling the rampant anti-immigrant mood in the country today - kick them ALL out (legal & illegal), they are contaminating our culture, taking our jobs, raping our women and introducing new diseases to our beloved motherland.
3. Had been dogged by numerous allegations of racial insensitivity for years as governor - his record as Governor of the state of Virginia (1994-1998) reeks of racially intolerant acts, including cavorting with white supremacist groups — such as the Council of Conservative Citizens.
4. Allen has bragged about stuffing a severed deer head into an African American family’s mailbox.
4. Has a past that includes a vociferous admiration of the Confederate flag (a symbol of racism) and an office that once displayed a noose.
Hey Allen — You are just another filthy bigot — stay in your “RAT HOLE.”
Someone at blacknell.net summed it up hilariously. He/she said:
LOL!
A word of caution to the GOP bigots — If Barack Obama wins this November 4th — it will mark the beginning of a long “layoff in purgatory” for the Republican Party.
An Obama win will signal the beginning of the minority/”young white” vote upswing — as they come of age in large numbers — most of who are less inclined to react favorably to Nativist/Racist Republican fear-mongering and hysteria, as do older white folk.
As these two groups and especially Hispanics grow over the coming years, and as the older “Republican Bigots” die off, America’s population will move toward a “minority majority,” and its political complexion will become more Democratic.
The GOP will have to re-invent itself, for simply appealing to the “bigot vote” will not be enough.
The Latino Factor — Elections ‘08
The Pew survey found that 66% of Latino registered voters backed Barack Obama and 23% supported McCain, results reported earlier. 
Those levels mark a swing back to traditional levels of Latino support for Democratic presidential candidates after a groundswell of support for President Bush.
Bush drew 40% of Latino voters in 2004, an unprecedented showing for a Republican candidate.
Latinos comprise 8% of U.S. voters, but a larger proportion in some key swing states, said Mark Hugo Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center: 35% in New Mexico, 14% in Florida and about 12% of voters in Nevada and Colorado.
Pew researchers found that the issue of immigration was playing a more important role for Latinos in this presidential election year than in 2004. Thirty-four percent of Latinos said the issue was extremely important, up from 28% in 2004.
Almost half of Latinos said the Democratic Party had more concern for immigrants, whereas 7% said that of the Republican Party.
When Pew researchers asked Latino registered voters which candidate was better for immigrants, 50% chose Obama, 12% McCain.
McCain wrote a 2006 bill with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) that would have given most illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
McCain distanced himself from that view in 2007, when he began campaigning for president. He has since said he would not vote for the bill…..[Click Here To Read More]
