This is all about keeping black voters on the Democrat plantation. If they lose the black vote, they have no chance of winning anything anymore. If they can't prove those Republicans are racists, they'll just make stuff up! They'll keep voting for Democrats even though they aren't doing a damn thing to deserve their votes.
It's also probably designed to get to black voters in the D.C. suburbs in Maryland who are thinking about voting for Mike Steele.
I actually disagree with that - if you want my take, check out this post on another thread:

That is absolutely true - IMHO, that's always their general strategy. The specific strategy is to blow up Allen by any means necessary.

I agree with that as well - Steele is a real threat to their lies.
I certainly intend on voting for him, at least at this point and if I have the opportunity!
Given that the Washington Post is the hometown paper for the DC suburbs it is a near certainty. They know that the stereotype that blacks have of Republicans is that they are at best closet bigots, and that any black who would associate themselves with them is either stupid, self-hating, or both. The Allen controversy plays into that without directly going after Steele.
