The cheapest political trick going
Posted by Moonage on 27 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Political Correctness
The guy who accused George Allen of using the N word now states unequivically he never heard George Allen use the N word. Instead, he now uses deductive reasoning to justify his claim:
My conclusion is based on the very credible testimony I have heard for weeks, mainly from people I personally know and knew in the ’70s," Sabato wrote.
In other words, he could have possibly cost Allen his career because of heresay. Now, because he used the N word, the media went bonkers and reported it as fact without checking on the fact that the whole contrived story was based on heresay.
There’s something bad wrong with that folks. It doesn’t matter that this butthole fessed up, this country is SOOOOO obsessed with political correctness and worrying itself sick over offending anyone for any reason, for a good while, and certainly until after the election, Allen is going to have that cloud hanging over his head whether it’s accurate or not.
That’s about as low as it gets. I wasn’t really too concerned with Allen’s race, but now I do hope he wins just to set an example to the NEXT person who wants to try to affect the outcome of a race by making stuff up and releasing it right before the election.

Do you know why, more than anything else, this smells so bad? Because in twenty years of elected office, none of Allen’s alleged racism EVER CAME UP. Not when he was Governor. Not when he was Senator. Not EVER. Do the Democrats really think we are so stupid as to believe they wouldn’t have seized on this issue earlier if they could have? NOT!

No, he said “macacca.”
The coaches’ son may have lost his re-election campaign with that one slip of the tongue.

Excellent point.
It just bugs me that this tired old trick still has suckers leeching it for all it’s worth. I saw several African-American “leaders” talk about how it was a shame all this still exists in people like Allen. This was even AFTER Sabato admitted he didn’t have anything to truly back up his claim.

Two different incidents Storm. The M word was a couple of weeks ago or so. The N thing was a guy claiming he used it, then today came out and said he didn’t have any evidence that Allen actually had said it. And, one thing I can definitely vouch for, the Average white Southern American male doesn’t have a CLUE what macacca means. I had never heard the word in my life till all this happened. And quite honestly, still don’t.
