I have received a few letters telling me to stop criticizing Sen. George Allen, but it’s my mission to declare that the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes. Allen is sporting a smirk, fancy cowboy boots, but otherwise he is buck naked. He is devoid of intelligence, gravitas and common sense.
Virginia Sen. George Allen is a good old boy who embraces the symbols of racism. His high school yearbook shows him wearing a Confederate flag pin. No big deal in Virginia where Confederate flags are as ubiquitous as mullets and Golden Arches. But Allen attended high school in multi-ethnic California, where folks don’t take too kindly to racists. Only someone who is proud of his racist views would pose for ayearbook photograph sporting a Confederate flag pin.
Sen. George Allen has not outgrown or renounced his childhood racism, he’s as much a racist today as he was back in high school. He has a collection of Confederate flags and kept a noose hanging from his law office. My guess is that he didn’t have many African American clients.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
“The Nation reported in 2006 that Allen, as Governor, initiated contact with the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), one of the largest white supremacist groups. The CCC descended from the segregationist White Citizens’ Councils of the Jim Crow-era South. At a 1996 Conservative Political Action Conference attended by Governor Allen and CCC leaders, Allen suggested that the group join together for a photograph.The Nation obtained and published the resulting snapshot, which the CCC had printed in the summer 1996 edition of its Citizens Informer newsletter. The CCC is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, though the CCC disputes these claims.“
The citizens of Virginia deserve a senator who will meet with groups such as the NAACP that are working to bridge the racial divide, and not a clown who will consort with racist groups that are seeking to divide this great country.
The recent “Macaca Incident” left Allen with Macaca on his face, and his recent debate with his opponent, James Webb, exposed him as a wimp with all smirk and no bite.
After the good people of Virginia kick Allen out of office — he can always take solace by adding to his collection of racist artifacts.
