"This is politics. If Allen can be taken out this early, he will be, because his enemies have no reason NOT to--would we go easy on a democrat if this kind of thing were in his past? No, nor should we."

So you are saying we should tolerate leftwing McCarthyite guilt-by-association attacks on GOP politicians, because ... well, because they happen anyway?

My #1 concern is that when we let the politics of presonal destruction work for liberals, they only lust for more of the same. It's very useful and helpful to defang these allegations so this strategy loses its power.

We need to make their allegations lose their power.

And btw, I've heard plenty of liberals call "Bushitler" a chimp and worse, deliberately and with malice aforethought,
so it hypocritical BS on their part to complain about it.

"If he can beat back this crap, he'll be in good shape"

And if not, the media will have their vultures for the other
candidates ... Divorced Guliani, Mormon Mitt Romney, mentally unstable McCain, etc.

Search the word "Plame" on the Nation's website and you find 2 year's worth of Cheney/Rove/Libby being blamed for "outing" Plame. And now David Corn admits it was Armitage!

HA!

He's damaged goods as much as Gingrich is.

He's obviously not racist.
Scroll thru the photos yourself:

If this is an example of your reading comprehension, I'm not impressed.

I'm saying exactly the OPPOSITE. I'm saying the left isn't just going to sit on this stuff--neither would we if we had it on them--so it's up to him to FIGHT.

God, learn to read what someone actually writes instead of looking around for an opportunity to get on your high horse.

George Allen BUMP.

I'll support him if for no other reason than to stick a thumb in the eye of the communist media, which hounds conservatives when it thinks they have made a slip of the tongue (George Allen, Trent Lott, etc. ad nauseum) but are unconcerned with the likes of Jesse ("HymieTown") Jackson, Ray ("Chocolate City")Nagin, and all the rest of the left-wing figures it supports.

Going after Allen because he attended a CPAC is a bunch of macaca.

But I have to say his handling of the whole macaca affair indicates to me he's not ready for prime time.

The Rats and MSM are going to great lenghts to trash Sen. Allen.

I assume that they're afraid of him.

You are exactly right. Allen needs to show his toughness and fortitude now, and I think he will. I still don't see him losing to Little Jimmy Webb

Great point!

The Smirking Chimp is one of the main Bush-bashing sites on the web! Is it only racist to call a medium-toned Asian- Caucasian a monkey and not a light-skinned European one?

Their logo proudly mixes a monkey image and a bush image. Can't get much clearer than that.

And even more damning The Nation is linked directly from the racist Smirking Chimp site:

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/links.php?op=viewlink&cid=7&min=60&orderby=titleA&show=10.

I await the denunciation of this racist site by the Nation editors and a request from their lawyers to remove this link!

And not a word on the KuKluxKlown Senator Byrd

I don't want him to say a word. It takes him 3 hours to read a 10 minute floor speech.

Well, no, they're going after Allen because he's pictured with RACISTS.
