The RACISTS Are Out In FORCE!
So, Virginia is being humiliated yet again by Republicans and Republican senate candidate George Allen is being haunted by his Macaca moment, through no direct fault of his own this time.
The official Facebook page of a Virginia County Republican Party that helped promote an event for Senate candidate George Allen, the Republican running against former governor Democrat Timothy M. Kaine, got busted yesterday for having super offensive (read straight up racist birtherism) images on their Facebook Page.
See a few here, some of which remain:
Embarrassed after a Democratic group supporting Kaine brought it to their attention, a very nervous state GOP tried to order the Mecklenburg County affiliate to take the images down including images of President Obama as a caveman and a thug. But as of late last night, R. Wallace Hudson, the chairman of the country committee who runs the page, was having none of that. If you are offended by Obama dressed as a savage, well, too bad for you! You have no sense of humor! Chortle.
Hudson told The Washington Post, If that group is that sensitive, Im sorry, theyre just not human, he said, chuckling. Its not American. If theyve got a problem with it, were not going to change what we do. Hudson took the bullys refuge by accusing the offended of (sing it with me), Playing the race card. Its not the conservatives who are playing the race card, see? When they suggest Obama wasnt born here and show him as a savage, thats just fun. If you are offended, then you are playing the race card. Shame on you, you savages! You are not American or human.

(14,923 posts)2. Knocking George Allen out of the Senate race ( once again ) will
be a welcomed payback response. Let the racists heads explode and go fucken nuts ( as they are doing ). Hopefully, they will take down the rest of their hate-filled, rethug/tea banging party along the way.
