Fox News ignores ‘macaca’ anniversary when interviewing Allen.
Today marks two years since then-senator George Allen made a racial epithet against S.R. Sidarth, a campaign volunteer of Indian descent for Jim Webb. Coincidentally, Fox News brought on Allen today to talk about campaign politics, but made no mention of the ‘macaca’ anniversary.
Raising Kaine put together a two-year retrospective here.

Comments were down for some reason. But now they’re back up. Apologize for the inconvenience.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:27 pmObviously, the FOX cameraman was white.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:28 pmExcept for being “Macaca” this is totally OT but I got a chuckle out of it.
The Democrats have announced their ticket for the coming election:
President: Barrak Obama
Vice-President: Sylvester Stallone
Secretary of State: Nancy Pelosi
Secretary of Environment: Al Gore
Secretary of Defense:John Edwards
Affectionately and for group recognition they will be advertised as: Sambo, Rambo, Bimbo, Jumbo, and Dildo.

Well, not really.
Coincidentally, Fox News brought on Allen today to talk about campaign politics
A loser , being interviewed by other losers.
All in a day’s work at FOX……………
August 11th, 2008 at 6:43 pmAllen is the perfect racist add-on to Fox. Next on Hannity: David Duke and George Allen discuss race in politics. And, to provide the fair and balanced promise of Fox, Strom Thurmond’s decaying corpse will take the liberal chair – and do as well a job as Colmes usually does.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:44 pmoooh! thanks faiz… then i actually DID see a comment fly off into the nethers… good to know i didn’t just imagine it…
…
listening to rachel maddow… and ONLY rachel maddow!!!
it’s like civics geek heaven! no SCREAMIN’GUITARS RUNNING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE tonight (pre-empted for the olympics)…
aaahhhhh…
August 11th, 2008 at 6:47 pmWho can forget macaca Allen and his infamous YouTube “foot-in-the mouth” racist comment caught on video. Man, Fox Clown network have certainly released the racist hounds this summer to discuss campaign politics.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:47 pmAnother well dressed sociopath . . . a suitopath.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:55 pmOld news. There must be something better than this to report on. How about:
Why Democrats still fund an illegal war
Why Democrats won’t impeach Bush
Why Democrats cover up White House crimes
There are many others as we all know. There should be a lot more cleaning of our own house than worrying about the numb nuts on the other side.

Not funny, flagged
August 11th, 2008 at 7:00 pmDid everyone catch the crap written along the bottom of Macaca’s pic ?
Does unrest overseas help the McCain campaign?
And who is it they’re posing that question to ? What foreign diplomatic credentials does Allen possess ?
And how can things going on over-seas help Camp Depends , when he doesn’t have the slightest clue on what the hell is going on in the US ??????????
August 11th, 2008 at 7:01 pmLooks like the only people that Faux can get to comment on the political scene are people who get voted (or kicked) out of office.
What a novel way to polish your credentials, ROger and Rupert!
August 11th, 2008 at 7:07 pmMCMetal:
Allen knows how to call foreigners funny names. That counts as credentials on the republican side.

Which explains why the MSM is creaming themselves over McDepends today ; he stumbled and was unable to pronounce the Georgian president’s name 3 DIFFERENT FRIGGIN TIMES.
And the GOP/Chimpy tools that post here wonder why they’re looked upon with disdain ; an unintelligible imbecile in the Oval Office for 8 years wasn’t enough for America and all Americans ?
August 11th, 2008 at 7:19 pmWhat exactly would you expect Faux Noise to do? Denying reality and living in a neo-con fascist dreamland is their stock-in-trade…
August 11th, 2008 at 7:26 pmand why in the sam hell should there be an anniversary of Allen’s stupidity? Isn’t there enough new stupidity in DC to report on?
August 11th, 2008 at 7:28 pmBuckie Boy Says: “Crusty Old Bastard,Not funny, flagged”
Bucky Baby I apologize for upsetting your sensitivities. The next time I will not refer to obvious sarcasm as “Macaca.” I will revert to your level and call it something you can obviously understand: bullshit!
August 11th, 2008 at 7:34 pmAugust 11th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Had to watch that clip again. He said his opponent is with a bunch of hollywood moguls. He is dealing in fact not fiction. Yea, hollywood makes movies like Stop Loss and Rendition, you know fiction.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:50 pmOle ma-CACAhead allen’s unemployment benefits must have run out thus, his appearance on faux noise. Once a parasite to soceity, always a parasite to soceity.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:38 pmJohn Kerry Says: “Any news on the John Edwards scandal…”
Who said it was a scandal? If we were talking about McImpotent it would be a miracle. Typical bushco response. You have been screwing the taxpayers for almost eight years and still can’t understand why you haven’t created anything positive.

Hey look, John McCain has learned to use the internet!
August 11th, 2008 at 9:56 pmI’d recognize that sense of humor anywhere……he even included the chuckle.
Good for you, Crusty Old Bastard!
John Kerry Says:
What??? Are you idiots even more wacked out than usual???? Who the hell cares about this????
Any news on the John Edwards scandal on this site?????? For some reason I can’t find anything!
News? You mean the word derived from the word new as in, def:of recent origin, novel, appearing for a first time,fresh
No sorry don’t have any “news”. That dead horse has been beaten so bloody that it is now just a stain on the ground, but thanks for showing such concern.
August 11th, 2008 at 10:04 pmFlavorino, we think alike, I think!
August 11th, 2008 at 10:10 pmEdwards; not in power, not in office, not running the government. Perhaps you miss what TP does…they cover things that relate to our government. Edwards doesn’t meet that criteria.
August 11th, 2008 at 11:24 pmCrusty Old Bastard,
Sorry, but the racist and sexist comment got a flag from me too. I know this thread is about the anniversary of the “Mecca moment,” however this thread isn’t meant to encourage more bigotry from the masses but instead, it is meant to point out how bigotry undermines one’s character…
… care to give it another shot?
Or are you sticking with what you’ve got?

It’s only a scandal (or interesting) for those with no sex life who have to live vicariously through others. I truly pity you.
August 12th, 2008 at 6:44 amMacaca audio is up here.

No John, You don’t recognize sarcasm, do you
August 12th, 2008 at 12:37 pmI’ll slow the next one down for ya, you Crusty Old Bastard.
