Howling Latina: Remember the Pain!

Remember the Pain!

Remember the Alamo!

Okay, what does the Alamo have to do with Sen. George Felix Allen's latest racial gaffe?

Nothing...except for an indignity suffered by the better man.

How about Paula Jones? Howling Latina was thinking that suppose this poor kid is forever scarred by his Macaca experience, just like poor Paula Jones when Clinton accosted her?

And...he'll be forced to abandon his once-promising college career, pack up his school bags, move back home to family where hopefully he'll receive the emotional support he needs to overcome the shame and trauma.

Will the poor student-volunteer whose only crime was to want to help the best man win an election ever overcome the emotional wounds from Allen's sinister insult? One can certainly envision the painstaking and expensive hours of therapy and nightly sobbing and flashbacks.

Sue the racist bastard! Secure your mental borders!

And make Allen pay for the disgraceful remark that once again confirms his vulgar worldview -- sentiments that are the hallmark of his contemptible political career from the moment the goober began glad-shaking for votes to now.

George Allen is a bigot! From cradle to tomb, he'll remain a Dixie flag-waving Southern wanna-be and rhinestone cowboy; and that's the heart of the matter.

I personally know the man who was called Macaca, and he's a well adjusted kid who went to my high school and then to an elite university.

He's not going to drop out of UVA and he's not crying. He can handle the insult.

But still...

FUCK RACISM
FUCK GEORGE ALLEN

Watch the video on YouTube.

Barbara Boxer for Pacforachange is doing emails about this.
I got one.

Dear Ricardo.
By now you've probably heard about the remarks recently made by Senator George Allen at one of his campaign events, aimed at a young Democratic volunteer who was attending and videotaping the event.
which has a link to the video on Youtube.

Move on Org also sent me an email.

Dear MoveOn member,

On Friday, Republican Senator George Allen sank to a new low. At a campaign stop the senator singled out the only non-white member of the audience—S.R. Sidarth, a young Indian-American volunteering for his opponent and called him "macaca" (a racial slur meaning 'monkey').1 He went on to say, "welcome to America." As it happens, Mr. Sidarth was born and raised in Virginia.

Republicans have used racism to try to win over voters for decades, but this kind of pandering has absolutely no place in our politics. That's why we're standing with Color of Change to ask the Republican National Committee to withdraw support from Sen. Allen. We need to send a strong message that America won't tolerate bigotry.
