Senator George Allen may have hurt his chances for the post of President of The United States, when he decided to pick out the only person of color at one of his rallies and insult the guy, using terms others say are racial slurs. I write that because I've not heard of the term he used before.
The man at the party who was filming Allen is of Indian decent and an American. Allen pointed to this person and called him a "Meccau" and said "Welcome to America" -- and then says, "Well friends, we're in a war on terror."
What bothers me is that I know what happened: Allen got around a group of older Southern White people and thought it was ok to let his hair down. The result: another Mel Gibson style meltdown done without the aide of drink.
Have a look for yourself:
This is CNN's report on the George Allen problem:
