Geez louise! Just look at the photos. These are nearly all white rallies with only a few token minorities in them. It is disgraceful. I can’t see how any minority would pose with this racist.
September 12th, 2006 at 12:52 pmOh my god. This has got to be someone hacking his website. That is just too awful.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:00 pmThis is a sure sign of desperation. After the MTP debate next week, Webb will wrap it up.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:07 pmOK so you’ve been on the campaign trail and these are the “only and best” ethnic shots you got. So it seems as if Allen does really avoid minorities, and this is the proof.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:10 pmMighty ‘white’ of him. Don’t bother, mister, you have been exposed. Loser.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:10 pmYeah, vote for Allen, he steals all the best legislation, and puts his signature on it just for you. /snark
September 12th, 2006 at 1:10 pmHahaha! I just finished looking through his whole gallery at the Ethnic Rally. There are like 10x as many white people in the background as the photo-op token non-white people. It’s really amusing how they couldn’t even take pictures that didn’t have so many white people in the background. That’s just sad. I wouldn’t post pictures when it’s that obvious how staged the whole thing is.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:24 pmSegregation in your political rallies much?
September 12th, 2006 at 1:26 pmHey, maybe George Allen should try this as his new campaign song:
I’m macaca, you’re macaca,
September 12th, 2006 at 1:27 pmHe’s macaca, she’s macaca
We’re macaca … wouldn’t you like to be macaca, too …
Is this along the line of someone who just slammed someone for being a different race and then saying “But I’m not rascist. Some of my friends are black.” Hey Mr Allen, your fly is open and your little rascist is showing.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:41 pmMaybe he won’t get re-elected, that would be a positive for our country.
September 12th, 2006 at 1:47 pmIt’s sad – but more funny – how George Allen’s life is resembling Stephen Colbert’s art.
September 12th, 2006 at 2:05 pmThere is always some token Black guy that will help Republicans > do not ask me why? Even some Jews helped Hitler, so just call minorities who help the GOP brainless nuts!
September 12th, 2006 at 2:12 pmThere’s a related diary on Daily Kos today entitled “George Allen Was Against Immigrants Before He Was For Them.”
The diary contrasts the “ethnic rally” with what the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group endorsed by Allen, has to say about non-Europeans coming to the U.S. The diary is at:

“Bush League”
September 12th, 2006 at 2:20 pmWe need not say more !
I was in one of those pictures!! Sen. Allen paid me $100 bucks to pose with him!
September 12th, 2006 at 2:26 pm#7 – So did I! What a pathetic moron.
September 12th, 2006 at 2:33 pmI have real trouble believing that this is the son of one the best football coaches ever. Even when George Sr was coaching Long Beach, they rocked.
This guy must be the black (no pun intended) sheep of the family.
HAHAHAHAH!!!
September 12th, 2006 at 3:25 pmAHHH HHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Oh my f*cking god, Sen Allen….STOP DIGGING!
Too funny….
September 12th, 2006 at 3:40 pmAllen will now foist this as evidence he’s not a racist, that he held a ‘macaca’ rally as proof.
September 12th, 2006 at 7:32 pmDo these racist morons also have racist morons running their campaigns? Do they put out “casting calls” for photo ops?
September 12th, 2006 at 8:20 pmDo they ever consider that they might look as desperate as they really are?
One can’t change the way an entire lifetime has been conducted to fit into an election campaign. Allen was brought up a raciist, he is a racist, his life, his clubs, his friends, his associates all are rife with racism – now he and his managers think a false photo will change the minds of some voters?
What an insult.
Is it just me who thinks “Ethnic Rally” sounds really racist?
September 12th, 2006 at 10:15 pmSounds like a Klan meeting.
September 12th, 2006 at 10:46 pmIn a similar vein, Tommy Tancredo spoke at a League of the South function. Seems those secessionists love him. I do believe he bit off more than he can chew. Political suicide.
September 12th, 2006 at 11:19 pmWatch the video I filmed of the crowd on YouTube.
George Allen’s Speech
September 12th, 2006 at 11:50 pmJames Webb staffers responded by holding a “Monkey Fest”:

See what happens when you try to beat the Gramscians at their own game?
September 13th, 2006 at 12:19 am#22, you’re right. “Ethnic rally” sounds pretty racist to me. That and clearly a desperate move. I don’t see how anyone who knows Allen’s history and saw the video can conclude anything other than this man is a blantant racist.
