Allen is unable to control himself in public. He just admits that in this video clip. He is not fit to be in a public office. Actually, he is not fit to be in society.
Ok, I'll say this, I can understand him having a Confederate flag in his office and it representing heritage. I wouldn't entirely condone it, since, being a public figure, you wouldn't want to risk offending a large group of people, but still I can understand the flag.
Like Sidarth, I'm an Indian. I've been a proud U.S. Citizen for the 17 years of my young life. I won't lie; I've said some "racist or thoughtless" things in my life. But the difference between Allen and myself is that I don't go around preaching steriotypes. I don't care if Allen is a horrible person in his private life. What I call him an idiot for is calling out an individual, who was clearly not harming or bothering anyone at the time, with a racist term.
Jesus said, "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaketh." The problem with racists is they don't even realize it. It's like a person saying, "I know I'm not crazy."
This guy is sick and seriously disturbed! Maybe an argument can be made about the confederate flag, but a fucking noose in your office. What normal person does that
Tim Russert really pinned him to the wall on this one. He didn't let the man wiggle out of the questions or try to shift to another topic.

@classic14rider Well, I actually just took a two day long training seminar and handling interviewers and sometimes to answer a question fairly, you need to completely ignore it if it is slanted or framed. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Regardless, there's one less candidate for the elections.
Listen, once a racist always a racist. People like this need to be just laughed at because of their limited brain function and ignorance I JUST PITY THE FOOL because that is exactly what this ARSEHOLE is. Once an ARSEHOLE always an ARSEHOLE
This dude grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles just as I did. What the hell does he mean that the Confederate Flag was part of his heritage? What the hell does he mean about coming from "Virgina values" vs "Hollywood values"?
This is guy is just a full of shit racist who is too dishonest to just admit that fact.
he was raised in a rich white racist family, so no wonder he is racist, especially sheltered against minorities, if you grew up the same way he did, you would be saying racist foolish things too.
Its a shame, Im Indian born here, and consider myself an American like anyone else. And these type of people alway wants to push us away. Im glad that I never really had to deal with these type of people in New York..
I'm still confused as to how exactly an indian guy resembles someone from "Central Africa's Belgian Congo". Clearly Allen needs to get his racist slurs right.
mark levin is pimping himself for george allen the last couple of weeks. i'd go for the tea party candidate and not some re-tread politician. sorry mark, you're wrong on this one
I just don't even get this excuse. "Yeah, I just made up a name for this guy that sounded vaguely foreign, and by total coincidence he looks foreign - I totally wasn't trying to point out his being ethnically different from most of the people in the room. I would have called an Irish guy macaca!"
Now Allen's running again! OMG-plez do not elect this racist. Why revere & display a flag IN YOUR OFFICE that hurts African~ Americans? That's not 'heritage'-that's cruel. I hope all these interviews will be replayed on the news.
R.I.P. Tim Russet. "He being dead yet speaketh."~~ thankx for posting this ;)
George Allen should be ashamed of his behaviour given his Jewish heritage.
Is it those of races that've been the victims of racism become racists themselves in order to become accepted and deflect adverse attention by saying, 'it's not me- it's them' ?
Boy LOL,this *wattzoo* idiot just doesn't know when to quit huh?Your boy got caught using a racial slur *wattzoo* maybe you should pray to your god to give spiritual guidance to Allen,and yes repukes only care about the deficit when a half black(with overtly black facial features and boogey man sounding Muslim name)is president. If the conservatards care so much about the deficit how about getting out of Irak and Afghanistan huh?And how do you just make up a word like "macaca" out of the blue?
@coloniaIVU Nice try. Take a look at the most recent elections. The man you voted for president and his ilk took a flogging. The voting majority isn't buying your story. Since when is George Allen fluent in Arabic dialects? I'm not. I never heard a "mackakah" until the press decided that it was somehow offensive in "some Arabic dialects." What does the term mean? An annoying rude socialist heckler? Your guys lost this last election. And GA is back on the ticket! You lose, colonialVU.
George Allen played the consummate gentleman about it instead of defending himself and saying that he did NOT know what the word meant. Had Hillary said it, it would have been dismissed as a misunderstanding. George is telling the truth, but the ignorant majority bought the lie forwarded by the press.
what a liar!!!!!!! he knew what the term meant. im not indian, im white, but i still think that the word macaca is offensive. this guy is dumb and im glad he lost. racism doesnt do any good for anybody
@FlattsGirl7905 I'm not fluent in Arabic, nor is Senator Allen. Until someone decided that it was an offensive term in "some Arabic dialects" the press flew with it and the libs had a field day and a half. Such a shame that a good man's name was tarnished over a mispronunciation of a last name. The heckler got his way by pushing and pushing until the Senator had enough. He's not a racist; those that falsely accused him of it are the racists.
@wattzoo It was not a "mispronunciation of a last name", it was completely made up - the guy's last name was Sidarth and Allen didn't know it anyway. And your claim that Senator Allen is not fluent in Arabic is not quite correct - while he may not be fluent, his mother is an Arab from Tunisia. Surely it's not too hard to imagine that a child might learn an insulting word in his mother's native tongue, even if he doesn't speak the language?
@ImTheSecretSquare So, if the man was black he would have said on a loud speaker, "let's hear for Mr. N----r!" I don't think so. Were you as disgusted when Hillary told the cute story about a man named "Gandhi" who ran a 7-11? If George Bush made such a remark, there would have been media and political hell to pay. But she meant nothing by it, so its okay. GA mispronounces a name and gets skewered politically and that brilliant Jim Webb barely wins. That's how it works.
@wattzoo lol... So your argument is that because you claim he wouldn't have used another racial slur in a hypothetical situation, that he couldn't have used a racial slur? Utter fail. And your claim that he "mispronounced a name" is, again, a flat-out lie. Allen has never claimed that, has never even claimed he knew the volunteer's name, and to suggest that he mispronounced "Sidarth" as "Macaca" is ludicrous. You are simply spreading false propaganda.
@ImTheSecretSquare You fail. You did not respond to anything I said but take a fact and twist it as a lie. The only "propaganda" here is what those so desperately terrified of him running for president spread. He has ZERO history or racism and there was ZERO proof of any racial behavior here or in his personal or political life. So, it's only racism if a conservative mis-pronounces a name. What does "macaca" mean? Do you know? But if someone you voted for do this, it's fine by you. Fail
@wattzoo lol, ah I see, because he's never made a racial slur in public, he didn't do it now, huh? Fail. And again, the "mis-pronouncing the name" thing is a simple lie.
You claim if someone I voted for did this, it would be fine by me - since you have no evidence of that, it is an obvious lie to try to shore up your sad little propagandist's position. You're only saying that because you ARE fine with it and you have to pretend I would be to make me a hypocrite.
@ImTheSecretSquare I know he's not a racist and am not offended by a mis-pronounced word or name. His record speaks for itself. And so does that of those for whom you have voted. He believes in minorities and their abilities to do well. And that is an abomination to the left who want those for whom they say he is racist against to have them not think for themselves and be cared for and thought for because they think they're too stupid to do for themselves. George is a first class leader!
@wattzoo Alright, look - at this point it's pretty obvious you're a paid shill. You simply repeat the same lies over and over and over regardless of anything anyone else says, and then say things like "George is a first class leader!" This is without a doubt the most pathetic thing I've seen on the Internet.
I particularly love your little mispronunciation lie where somehow Sidarth "accidentally" became Macaca - to pretend as if Allen ISN'T racist, you have to insist that he's dumb as a rock.
@ImTheSecretSquare He is NOT a racist. "Paid shill?" No, I post the truth for free. I just like giving the left a taste of their own medicine. He did not become a popular and successful governor and senator by being a so-called "racist." He's not and has never been a racist. He made the mistake of letting a mean-spirited heckler interrupt him and called him on it. He unknowingly made a slip and apologized for the mis-speak. The left never apologizes for their racism and gets a pass.
@wattzoo lol, no, he did not become a popular and successful governor and senator by being racist.
He lost it by being racist.
(And of course your lies continue. Sidarth was not a "mean-spirited heckler" and he certainly did not interrupt Mr. Allen, because he didn't say a single word as his video shows. Allen specifically pointed him out because he was videotaping the speech for the opposing campaign. You again are claiming something that George Allen himself has NEVER said.)
@wattzoo mean-spirited heckler??? the video has been posted on youtube, go watch it and please provide the minute and second mark at which allen is being heckled...? he DID NOT make a slip, as he used the word at least TWICE, and then told him "welcome to america".... this is not a 'slip', this is a deliberate attempt to alienate someone using their race... a white man calls an indian man a monkey and tells him 'welcome to america' and you see nothing racist about that??
@wattzoo The guy just standing there was "interrupting" ?? So my just standing near someone is interrupting now? really?! he was not in any way interrupted. oo and george allen's mother is of Tunisian decent and he has been exposed to french and obviously knows what caca means. he just KNOWINGLY called that guy a black shit. not racist my ass.
@xxjp42xx So, if this taunting heckler was black, he would have simply called him "Mr. Ni**er?" Okay, then. Where was the rage when Hillary told the story about a man named Gandhi who ran a 7-11? Oh, let me guess. You know NOTHING of that story because the press buried it. Yet they took a mis-speak and twisted it and made up all sorts of other false stories of racism? The left is so damned desperate, especially when they knew he would give Hillary a run for her money. Then B. O. arrived
Couldn't George Allen come up with better words then some racist word. How about George Allen come up with the term my opponent was out in Hollywood accepting donations from pot smoking and there wouldn't be a Jim Webb from Virginia today. But no he used a disgusting word.
I'm Indian and I bet if the media didn't get on his ass about this comment he wouldn't have even apologized. I bet he knew what it meant. George Allen is full of shit and deserved to lose.
@MilVit he really looked like one..he had a ugly haircut, which looked more like mowhawk, and then his ugly beard..he didn't shave..he had it coming..!!!
@sloppyjoes7 look mate it is not whether people have heard it or not, it is that he comes from a french background and knows fully well it is an insult, and he used it. THAT IS WRONG
He didn't know it was an insult. If he knew it was a slur, do you really believe he'd use the word in public? The audacity of those who claim to read minds is astounding. No, you cannot read minds. So stop claiming you can.
@sloppyjoes7 hahahahaha reading minds nice one, his mother is from french tunisia where this insult was used against blacks, it has obviously passed on
@sloppyjoes7 What the hell is wrong with you, you must be a republican.
how many important people use "made up words", that would make them look dumb and why say that in a public speech. many people not just me speculate that this slur has been passed on french tunisian mother. if you don't know french tunisian used this against colours
@sloppyjoes7 what the hell is wrong with you, you must be a republican supporter.why would an important person use a "made up word" , how would he expect his audience to understand what he is saying, it would sound unproffesional and dumb. however most of the audience there are dumb just like you and don't know what he is on about. his mother is from french tunisia where whites used this to discriminate against coloureds. many people as well as i think this is where it has been passed on. i
@sloppyjoes7 you are actually sticking to that story? amazing. his mother just happens to be french tunisian where macaca is a racial insult. and allen just happens, out of thin air, to "make up" the same word and direct it at a guy with dark skin. i mean, what are the odds?
hat a redneck! lol...sidharth is born and raised in america. its these same republicunts who complain about minorities NOT integrated enough...and when you have someone like Sidharth speak with a perfect american accent and listen to american music and watch american movies and contributes to american technology/economy, this is how he gets greeted by this filthy redneck trash!
"macaque" is a type of monkey in french, and a derogatory word used by former french colonists for the darker skinned natives in the places they conquered. George Allen's mother was French Tunisian and would have known this and likely passed that onto him. It's not just "considered" racist, it IS racist.
go back to india! i can hardly imagine what i'd be called as a White Man going to india and just expecting everyone there to accept me as one of THEIR own...asshcle, which are YOU "indian", or American??? (Means nothing to me, really).
you are a douche! first of all, a lot of whites in india have good privileges...even if they never speak any indian language - they only speak english/european.
secondly, Sidharth spoke ONLY american english...and adopted american way of life since he was born here.
when has a white redneck ever made an attempt to speak fluently in another language...
@131488wolf131488 Educated people world wide look past race/religion/social status and antiquities like that . A politician must be a well informed and educated person and George Allen is definitely not one.
Sure, he may not have been racist, but how ignorant do you have to be to use a word that you don't know the meaning of... and say it on TV. Not too smart of him
Imagine the how humiliating it is to be racially abused like that in front of a huge crowd!!!
He points at that Indian kid and calls him out as "This Macaca" ( it both hillarious and very sad! ) I guess the Indians don't really matter as they never made a fuss about this.!
Imagine if he said "This nigger" to a black man!? There would be a riot on TV and he would be arrested or something.
I'm still waiting for Harry Reid's apology for calling Obama a light skinned man with no negro dialect. In making that statement does Harry infer that a dark skinned man with a negro dialect is undesirable. I think I will be waiting for a long time for that apology.
Clearly Mr. Allen is a racist. A coach that harass both black and white players isn't necessarily bringing up a non racist kid. He had a noose in his office. How could anyone tell me that a noose is not something that symbolizes racism against black people? What else was it used for? A noose is NOT southern pride.
He said it himself, "Welcome to the real Virginia." I'm from Louisiana and I know racism, and this state is dripping with racism. Black Virginians are crazy for staying in that state.
The man is a darn liar, for God's sake, he has a DISTINCTION IN HISTORY, are you telling me he did not know what the Confederate flag to represented to African Americans?
This guy is a complete and total moron. Does he think ONE person on earth believed he made up a word that also happens to be a racial slur? His mother speaks fluent french from which the slur is derived. Sad part is even after this incident he still nearly won...says a lot of about the people of Virginia.
and it turned out he was jewish. wonder how the citizens of "real virginia" thought about that. and what's up with his mom raising his son as a neo-nazi? ok, not mom's fault,but still.
Of COURSE he didn't make the word up! In Portuguese Macaco means monkey. It's from Latin. That is what the word is supposed to mean. It is supposed to be a racial slur.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is the man who should've been President. And honestly, whats worse off? Him saying macaca or having the President being a devout member of Rev. Wright's church? If Obama turns into Jimmy Carter II then its George Allen in 2012!
The 2006 Senate Race marked the end of George Allen's political career. Doesnt Allen know Indo-Americans represent the wealthiest ethnic group in America?
im half black and from europeand there is no way i would go anywhere near virginia in my lifetime.. thw whole southern states are just rascist.. why would black people live there?
Most of Virigina is just fine. It's more liberal than many former "union" states. West Virginia for instance fought for the North and now you see sooooo many confederate flags flown there. I live here in a diverse as hell community with more oppression or racism than anywhere else. Also I believe many regions of the Netherlands have issues with foreigners as well. Finally I don't think it's too fair to stereotype. e.g. Conclude that all of the former confederate states are racist.
What pisses me off (since I'm Indian) is that the people who were listening to this bastard were clapping when he called Sidarth Macaca. Figures that racist rubes like George Allen's supporters would stand to hear that kind of shit, and even applaud it.
And he seemed 'surprised' that it was an insult. What the hell did he think it was when he said it? A compliment. God Damn Republicans. But luckily their party's gonna die, 2012 will see the GOP fracture between Palin, Jindal, and Romney. LOL
I dont think they clapped BECAUSE he called the guy a macaque..... in their defense there is no way they are educated enough to know what a macaque is and that it is a derogatory term, they are Virginians after-all.
@fluffysalt i'm asian too..but it was soo funny...can't u take a joke...that guy 'macaca' or whatever he really looked like one..he had a ugly haircut, which looked more like mowhawk, and then his ugly beard..he didn't shave..he had it coming..!!!
@fluffysalt You have no proof of that. They did not even know what that phrase is. How many people there spoke Arabic dialects? NONE. He thought that was the guy's name. And you know he would not have said that had he known if it was considered an insult in that Arabic tongue. It most likely even isn't a bad word, but they twisted it to make it that. And Palin, Jindal and Romney are popular and successful, unlike B. O. - the guy you voted for.
He did NOT think that was the guy's name, you idiot. Also, Macaca is clearly an insulting word with Middle Eastern/African/Indian sounding phonetics. Thus, the people clapping recognized it as something that SOUNDED racist and Islamaphobic, and to these rednecks, anyone of brown descent is an Arab Muslim. And what makes you so sure he wouldn't have said if he knew it was an insult? He was trying to make fun of the guy's race for laughs from his supporters. And Palin is NOT successful.
@fluffysalt Even an "idiot" like me will tell you that the clapping was a result of him firing back at the heckler. The heckler got his way. You are a textbook liberal. Say what you WANT to believe. Palin IS a success, by the way. You don't want her to be, but she is....a conservative, Christian, pro-life, successful, experienced leader and family person. She's not your liberal, socialist, elitist, pro-abortion feminist from the Left coast. Sucks to be ignorant you!
Your last comment shows me you and I will never agree, for your standards for successful are conservative (hypocrisy at its height, for the deficit only matters when we have a black president, right?), Christian (close-minded shepherding belief based upon fantastical and unprovable tenets that only hinder our political process) and pro-life (the belief that illegalizing abortion will end it and make it safer for those who have to do it). Palin has no experience/success, she's just hot.
@fluffysalt It's the liberals who are hypocrites and the deficit ALWAYS matters to the conservatives, NOT the Pelosi-run congress (HELLO!). It's unfortunate that you're so ill-informed on Christianity and I truly pray you find Spiritual guidance and the way to His Love. (I am serious!) Palin has experience (UNLIKE the man you voted for president). She is a success (unlike the man you voted for president-no argument there) and I agree - she is HOT!!
@wattzoo If the deficit always matters to the conservatives, then why was the first thing the Republicans did when they took the White House in 2000 to cut taxes, turning a surplus into a deficit?
@ImTheSecretSquare The surplus was on paper only and the republicans are who pushed the balanced budget, not Clinton. But I agree, they didn't cut a damned thing. Bush allowed too much spending and the republicans got their clocks cleaned for over-spending. Now the tables have turned and the democrats were canned for over-spending and trying to raise taxes during a severe recession made worse by B. O.'s antics.
@wattzoo lol, wow, talk about revisionist history. In 2000 the Republicans won the House, Senate, and Presidency... and IMMEDIATELY cut taxes, sending us into massive deficits. The surplus was not "on paper only" and it was most certainly because of Clinton's insistence on balanced budgets. The Republicans ever since Reagan have realized they can just give away free money to the people in the form of tax cuts and they'll get votes - that's literally their entire political strategy now.
@ImTheSecretSquare Take Economics 101 and history. Socialism and entitlement governments go broke and fail! Look at France and Greece. Also history have proven that revenues go UP when taxes are increased and go DOWN when taxes are increased. Hoover raised taxes after an economic crash and that was a nightmare. This is revisionist history. For experts on that, talk to Nancy Pelosi.
@wattzoo France exited the recession before the United States, they've had six straight quarters of growth. Fail.
As for your comments about Hoover, feel free to show me where tax revenues went down after Hoover enacted a large tax increase in 1932. They went up consistently for six years. Fail.
By the way, the tax increases were to cover ENORMOUS deficits caused by earlier massive tax cuts during the 20s - the Republicans are today simply repeating the strategy that led to the Depression.
@wattzoo By the way, on this same ridiculous idea that revenues go up when taxes are decreased, United States revenue in 2000, the year we had the surplus, was 20.6% of GDP - after Bush's massive tax cuts, by 2004 revenues had dropped to 16.2% of GDP. Reagan took in 19.6% of GDP in 1981 - by 1984 it was 17.3%.
Another fun fact - Obama is the first Democrat (outside of WW2) to run a deficit of 4% GDP or more, while Bush was the fifth Republican (and the second Bush!) to do so.
Man...and he said Jim Webb was in lala land. This guy expected people to believe he made up this word after using it the way people used it. He expected people to believe he wasn't aware that people would be offended by his having a noose in his office? Please. How did this guy win?
The best thing that's happened for America is the Republican Party. Thank you Rabid Republicans for your Sarah "Shot Gun Wedding" Vanna White-Palin. Then you shit on yourself, once again, and your learned NOTHING with another "Macaca" type incident in handing out the CD with "Barack the Magic Negro". Keep 'em coming! Here. Heres a bigger shovel.
ahhhhhhhhhh noooo.The republicans only go for the rich.what about the little people?what about bush.Why our we in debt?(i dont .I live in the UK.) But i have family there.What has he done for them or you?Obama I think will be a good president.All this race stuff should stop.Also mccain was going to do what?Keep men and women in war?Obama wants to help get them out.
I'm an Indian and I want to ask whether white Americans really hate Indians a lot. White Americans, can you please tell me whether you hate us a lot? Americans, please reply
i don't think its hate, its just ignorance. indian culture is very different, the religion is different, the dress is different the language is different, the food is different. its hard for those who don't understand or lack the desire to understand these things to connect with indian people. once theyv'e assimilated to american culture they will only be treated poorly by the true racists.
Allen is unable to control himself in public. He just admits that in this video clip. He is not fit to be in a public office. Actually, he is not fit to be in society.

An annoying rude socialist heckler? Your guys lost this last election. And GA is back on the ticket! You lose, colonialVU.

George Allen played the consummate gentleman about it instead of defending himself and saying that he did NOT know what the word meant. Had Hillary said it, it would have been dismissed as a misunderstanding. George is telling the truth, but the ignorant majority bought the lie forwarded by the press.

what a liar!!!!!!! he knew what the term meant. im not indian, im white, but i still think that the word macaca is offensive. this guy is dumb and im glad he lost. racism doesnt do any good for anybody
FlattsGirl7905 1 year ago
@FlattsGirl7905 I'm not fluent in Arabic, nor is Senator Allen. Until someone decided that it was an offensive term in "some Arabic dialects" the press flew with it and the libs had a field day and a half. Such a shame that a good man's name was tarnished over a mispronunciation of a last name. The heckler got his way by pushing and pushing until the Senator had enough. He's not a racist; those that falsely accused him of it are the racists.
wattzoo 1 year ago
@wattzoo It was not a "mispronunciation of a last name", it was completely made up - the guy's last name was Sidarth and Allen didn't know it anyway. And your claim that Senator Allen is not fluent in Arabic is not quite correct - while he may not be fluent, his mother is an Arab from Tunisia. Surely it's not too hard to imagine that a child might learn an insulting word in his mother's native tongue, even if he doesn't speak the language?
ImTheSecretSquare 1 year ago
@ImTheSecretSquare So, if the man was black he would have said on a loud speaker, "let's hear for Mr. N----r!" I don't think so. Were you as disgusted when Hillary told the cute story about a man named "Gandhi" who ran a 7-11? If George Bush made such a remark, there would have been media and political hell to pay. But she meant nothing by it, so its okay. GA mispronounces a name and gets skewered politically and that brilliant Jim Webb barely wins. That's how it works.
wattzoo 1 year ago
@wattzoo lol... So your argument is that because you claim he wouldn't have used another racial slur in a hypothetical situation, that he couldn't have used a racial slur? Utter fail. And your claim that he "mispronounced a name" is, again, a flat-out lie. Allen has never claimed that, has never even claimed he knew the volunteer's name, and to suggest that he mispronounced "Sidarth" as "Macaca" is ludicrous. You are simply spreading false propaganda.
ImTheSecretSquare 1 year ago
@ImTheSecretSquare You fail. You did not respond to anything I said but take a fact and twist it as a lie. The only "propaganda" here is what those so desperately terrified of him running for president spread. He has ZERO history or racism and there was ZERO proof of any racial behavior here or in his personal or political life. So, it's only racism if a conservative mis-pronounces a name. What does "macaca" mean? Do you know? But if someone you voted for do this, it's fine by you. Fail
wattzoo 11 months ago
@wattzoo lol, ah I see, because he's never made a racial slur in public, he didn't do it now, huh? Fail. And again, the "mis-pronouncing the name" thing is a simple lie.
You claim if someone I voted for did this, it would be fine by me - since you have no evidence of that, it is an obvious lie to try to shore up your sad little propagandist's position. You're only saying that because you ARE fine with it and you have to pretend I would be to make me a hypocrite.
ImTheSecretSquare 11 months ago
@ImTheSecretSquare I know he's not a racist and am not offended by a mis-pronounced word or name. His record speaks for itself. And so does that of those for whom you have voted. He believes in minorities and their abilities to do well. And that is an abomination to the left who want those for whom they say he is racist against to have them not think for themselves and be cared for and thought for because they think they're too stupid to do for themselves. George is a first class leader!

@wattzoo Alright, look - at this point it's pretty obvious you're a paid shill. You simply repeat the same lies over and over and over regardless of anything anyone else says, and then say things like "George is a first class leader!" This is without a doubt the most pathetic thing I've seen on the Internet.
I particularly love your little mispronunciation lie where somehow Sidarth "accidentally" became Macaca - to pretend as if Allen ISN'T racist, you have to insist that he's dumb as a rock.
ImTheSecretSquare 11 months ago
@ImTheSecretSquare He is NOT a racist. "Paid shill?" No, I post the truth for free. I just like giving the left a taste of their own medicine. He did not become a popular and successful governor and senator by being a so-called "racist." He's not and has never been a racist. He made the mistake of letting a mean-spirited heckler interrupt him and called him on it. He unknowingly made a slip and apologized for the mis-speak. The left never apologizes for their racism and gets a pass.
wattzoo 11 months ago
@wattzoo lol, no, he did not become a popular and successful governor and senator by being racist.
He lost it by being racist.
(And of course your lies continue. Sidarth was not a "mean-spirited heckler" and he certainly did not interrupt Mr. Allen, because he didn't say a single word as his video shows. Allen specifically pointed him out because he was videotaping the speech for the opposing campaign. You again are claiming something that George Allen himself has NEVER said.)

And what makes you so sure he wouldn't have said if he knew it was an insult? He was trying to make fun of the guy's race for laughs from his supporters. And Palin is NOT successful.

@wattzoo If the deficit always matters to the conservatives, then why was the first thing the Republicans did when they took the White House in 2000 to cut taxes, turning a surplus into a deficit?
ImTheSecretSquare 1 year ago
@ImTheSecretSquare The surplus was on paper only and the republicans are who pushed the balanced budget, not Clinton. But I agree, they didn't cut a damned thing. Bush allowed too much spending and the republicans got their clocks cleaned for over-spending. Now the tables have turned and the democrats were canned for over-spending and trying to raise taxes during a severe recession made worse by B. O.'s antics.
wattzoo 1 year ago
@wattzoo lol, wow, talk about revisionist history. In 2000 the Republicans won the House, Senate, and Presidency... and IMMEDIATELY cut taxes, sending us into massive deficits. The surplus was not "on paper only" and it was most certainly because of Clinton's insistence on balanced budgets. The Republicans ever since Reagan have realized they can just give away free money to the people in the form of tax cuts and they'll get votes - that's literally their entire political strategy now.
ImTheSecretSquare 1 year ago
@ImTheSecretSquare Take Economics 101 and history. Socialism and entitlement governments go broke and fail! Look at France and Greece. Also history have proven that revenues go UP when taxes are increased and go DOWN when taxes are increased. Hoover raised taxes after an economic crash and that was a nightmare. This is revisionist history. For experts on that, talk to Nancy Pelosi.
wattzoo 1 year ago
@wattzoo France exited the recession before the United States, they've had six straight quarters of growth. Fail.
As for your comments about Hoover, feel free to show me where tax revenues went down after Hoover enacted a large tax increase in 1932. They went up consistently for six years. Fail.
By the way, the tax increases were to cover ENORMOUS deficits caused by earlier massive tax cuts during the 20s - the Republicans are today simply repeating the strategy that led to the Depression.
ImTheSecretSquare 1 year ago
@wattzoo By the way, on this same ridiculous idea that revenues go up when taxes are decreased, United States revenue in 2000, the year we had the surplus, was 20.6% of GDP - after Bush's massive tax cuts, by 2004 revenues had dropped to 16.2% of GDP. Reagan took in 19.6% of GDP in 1981 - by 1984 it was 17.3%.
Another fun fact - Obama is the first Democrat (outside of WW2) to run a deficit of 4% GDP or more, while Bush was the fifth Republican (and the second Bush!) to do so.

I'm an Indian and I want to ask whether white Americans really hate Indians a lot. White Americans, can you please tell me whether you hate us a lot? Americans, please reply

i don't think its hate, its just ignorance. indian culture is very different, the religion is different, the dress is different the language is different, the food is different. its hard for those who don't understand or lack the desire to understand these things to connect with indian people. once theyv'e assimilated to american culture they will only be treated poorly by the true racists.

well ... I'm AMERICAN ...
I was born and raised here.
I'm sorry for the way your ancestors were treated and how their land was stolen from them.
Not stolen but brutally taken.
I love you all ...
I love everyone ....
My best friend when I lived in Syracuse, NY was part Indian.
Screw any white man that doesn't like Indians or Black or Jews or anyone else.
