Well, some of us who at least appear to believe we are good conservatives may be a little dense.

What, exactly, does a Native American Indian tribe language have to do with the Allen gaffe that relates to a North African racial slur against an American of subcontinental Indian extraction? I'm thoroughly lost.

It's much more likely George Allen and his staffers know something of athentic Americana than of remote and obscure North African name-calling.

I suggest you catch up with me and George ~ redeem your Conservative credentials.

Besides the Democratic campaign staffer in the target hairs here is of Indian Indian heritage, and he really doesn't look like all that much of a minority ~ more like a heavily tanned Aryan, eh!

They got a billion more of 'em too!

Hi ED. How do we know how Sen. Allen would spell it?
Macaca
or
Makaka
or
Makacka
or
Mawkaka
or
Mawkawka
or
Maokaka
or
Maockaka
or....

Get my drift? Only the dims and media are giving us the spelling as macaca and after a few days came up with the definition.
