Presidential Hopeful Wows Crowd With Racial Attack on Cameraman

This is absolutely unbelievable. “Macaque” is a Belgian racial slur (in French), deriding North Africans. George Allen’s mother is a French colonial from Tunisia. He’s given no explanation for what he meant using the word twice. Be sure and watch the video, it’s chilling. It’s off to the right of the Washington Post story. “Mohawk?” Here’s a picture of the cameraman:

I call bullshit; Allen is a racist and he lost it, using a slightly-coded racial epithet as part of his showy racist attack in front of the crowd. Mr. Sidarth is born and raised in the USA. If Allen stays in the race for President in 2008, he’ll implode with another racist outburst before he makes it to the finish line.
