Incident at Allen Campaign Stop in Charlottesville

Reported by Henry Graff
October 31, 2006

Senator George Allen, (R) made a campaign stop in Charlottesville Tuesday morning and it was met with controversy.

As Senator Allen was exiting a ballroom, coming to talk to the media, a protestor started yelling and asking, "Why did you spit on your first wife?". He wasn't able to get near the senator as he was tackled by three men wearing Allen stickers, presumed to be staffers. He was pushed and manhandled and ended up on the floor, near windows at the Omni.

Senator Allen went back into a conference room and after the man was removed from the building, we were able to talk to Allen and asked him what he thought of the incident. He responded saying stuff like that happens.

1. Reptilian bastard...

God forbid that one should be allowed to exercise free speech and question the candidate for re-election. I honestly do not see why this guy was tackled for asking a question that rightly deserves to be answered. Allen is a soft chicken-shit redneck goon. :mad:

5. He was assaulted and should definitely file a suit n/t

"Why did you spit on your first wife?"..... He responded saying stuff like that happens.

It sounds like he's talking to the media right now

He's very busy, I won't tell you what he's doing until he tells everyone himself.

The Allen camp is WAY off it's rocker.
