There should be a political “glass house alert” because partisan stone-throwing on race has become a shattering game of catch. Democrats are dancing euphorically as they watch Republican Virginia Sen. George Allen’s downward spiral since referring to one of his rival’s campaign supporters as “macaca,” — an apparent European racial slur likening to monkeys those from South Africa. The focus on this has been staggering with Allen’s once robust lead now reduced to five points in front of Democratic challenger and former Reagan Navy Secretary James Webb.

*** an apparent European racial slur likening to monkeys those from South Africa.***
facts dont bother these people. Allen isnt European and probably thought he was making up a new word, and he didnt say it to a South African but to an Indian.
Much to do over nothing. blown out of all proportiopn by the media who ignores such slipd by democrats.
The democrats who made comments about people from India (like Hillary's statement that Ghandi is now running a gas station) aren't still being whipped about it.
A whole presidential campaign went by and I never heard the mass media refer to Al Sharpton's antisemitism (things like "Jew them down").
All conservatives and white males have to bear in mind that the left is listening to all that you say and is looking for some innocent word to sink you with. Nothing you say is safe. If you didn't say anything, they will get you for quoting someone. If you don't quote anyone, they will make it up. You have no defense.
Perhaps, Senator Allen should have claimed he was simply using a substitute for "white nigger"...
Looks like the missing link or Bigfoot's wife.
