Didn't George Allen apologize repeatedly for the word 'Macaca'?

Was this Hillary's 'Macaca Moment'?

Did the LMSM repeatedly bring up Allen's statement even though he apologized for it repeatedly? Should this, therefore, be dealt with again, even though Hillary apologized for it? Would that be fair?

What about "The Kiss"...Sura Arafat?

What about the article, "Lazio Camp Rips Hillary For Pedophilia" found at National Review Online?

There so many more things that she should apolgize for and have regret for that this little incident is really nothing. But she’ll get some good mileage out of it, no doubt.

Noooo... never realized that...

Yes, I realized that.

I knew that someone would bring this up, and you get the prize.

You do realize that in presidential elections that the entire record comes up, don’t you?

While crediting Clinton and her husband, former President Clinton, as long having "supported the Gandhi message," Naef said Saturday's remarks "could be incredibly harmful" in perpetuating racial myths.
Well, Naef is naive on both counts.

The Clintons do not "support the Gandhi message", unless that message is "grab everything you can get your hands on and be the boss of everything else".

And the Beast's stupid attempt to break out of her beastliness and show she has a sense of humor did indeed fail miserably, but the stupid joke will not "perpetuate racial myths".

Zero points for Naef.

BTW, in presidential elections, nothing is old. The LMSM realizes that, and so should you and everyone else. They won’t be shy, you can count on that.
