Virginia GOP Plans Rally to Court Minority Voters, One Macaca at a Time

And since Senator Grand Wizard Lester Bull Connor Robert E. Wallace David Maddox Duke Thurmond Earl Ray was unavailable…

Finally — real minority outreach from the GOP. The Virginia Republicans have a big rally coming up this Saturday that's designed to reach out to minority voters in Fairfax County.

Guess who is one of the featured speakers?

George Allen. Yes, that George Allen.

…because in 2008, having only one confederate flag license plate on your Ford Mustang makes you 50% more qualified to talk to minorities than every other member of the Virginia Republican Party.

Asked whether "macaca" might cloud the message a bit, Scimeca said the whole thing was a smear-job by the Dems: "Anyone had to go on Wikipedia to be offended by it. And you know how people can mess with Wikipedia."

Well put. I'd always heard lots of stuff about segregation, but it wasn't until I keyed it into Ask Jeeves that I realized what a lousy gig that was!
