My Hypocrit/English English/Hypocrit
dictionary defines “Macaca” to be loosely translated as “typical white woman bitter gun clinger”

George Allen was a great Governor and a great Senator. He may yet have a future in politics. Fact is, if there was blatant racist baggage sitting around from his college days the Post would have already put it above the fold. I’ve personally heard secondhand that George liked him some heavy drinking in college, but that was the worst I’ve heard while in the world of lefty liberal arts schools in southern VA.

What is also at play in the Old Dominion is the large population of northern liberals that have migrated south for gubmint jobs. They ruined their own states by their voting habits and are hell bent on doing the same here. Other than being able to breath and walk simultaneously, I have yet to figure out what qualities Gov Kaine brings to his office.

As to macaca, a couple of “paid” bloggers on the left here found the gaff on video several days after it happened. They went to wikipedia and gave it a definition (which previously didn’t exist there) as a derogatory Morrocan word. Apparently Allen’s mother or grandmother lived there and this made it highly likely that his (possibly Jewish) family ingrained it into his vocabulary.

In my opinion, the only difference between Jim Webb and David Duke is that I don’t know where Duke is these days.

And your soul.

The Post targeted and successfully destroyed Allen’s career. The scary thing is that the NY Times is much worse.

Not to mention, Jim Webb has a great admiration for his CONFEDERATE ancestors. Which the Washington Post also conveniently felt was not news.

I’m sure they would have done the same for a Republican.

The story I’ve heard that makes the most sense, is that “Macaca” is how Allen bungled the pronunciation of “Mohawka”, which was his campaign staff’s nickname for the young man assigned by the Webb campaign to follow Allen around endlessly and videotape his every word. (Which Allen of course, eventually played right into; an incident Washington Post then amplified a thousandfold.)

There’s a photograph of the fellow here, and he indeed did indeed sport a rather rakish Mohawk-styled haircut back then.

In fact, after Obama loses I think we will see some serious recrimination on the Left that they nailed Allen in 2006. Obama would have beaten him like a rented mule.

By the way, somebody really needs to go back and dissect that Allen-Webb race someday. It was the first shot of the modern leftist-thug campaign that is in full flower now with Obama. Webb won the primary with thug tactics, including anti-Semitic smears of his opponent, and they trotted out a “scandal” about Allen’s mother actually being a Jew, which hurt him almost as badly as the ‘macaca’ thing. There aren’t many Jews in Virginia, but a lot of them were horrified by that campaign. That’s a big reason why Jim Webb is not on the ticket with Obama.

Maybe I’ll run next time. I could motivate the base more than the warm buckets of spit that ran the last two elections.

It means the MSM is going to keep floating and disparaging it until you KNOW that it is something rude, if not racist.

Amen! And good grief Gov. Kaine is just a mystery to me. What they heck is the appeal? I’m not living in Virginia right now, was he running against a Maple tree?

I can’t even find a satisfactory definition/explanation on the internet.

My collie says:

Maybe Mork from Ork invented the term.

One word and the all out full frontal attack from the MSM kept this man from being our front runner.

Good to see the McCain/Palin campaign learned from this. Make no mistake about it, we have the absolutely worthless Jim Webb in the Senate now because the Post torpedoed Allen.

his replacement is a douchebag.
