Senator Allen is no phoney, he is a real person. Authentic. Which is more than can be said for the author of this hit piece.
I think the problem with Allen is that he created his whole persona it's not genuine. I think the problem is that the Republican party also helped in making him that way too. BUT that being sai, If this is all they can find on Allen - it will blow over. But he should chill out with the redneck stuff - its a turn off to alot of folks and only creates controversy when there is none.
Allen campaigned against hate speech laws....but after he was elected he supported expanding them to cover gays. Phoney? Yeah....that's sounds about right....but conservatives seem primed and ready to be fooled again.
It is a hit piece.
