Racist, Anti-Semitic Hall of Shame

First was Mel Gibson. Well, okay, he is sooooo last week and has been done to death by folks far more eloquent than me.

Then, we have Senator George Allen and the Macaca Incident.

This fellow over here with the yellow shirt - Macaca or whatever his name is - he's with my opponent," Allen said. "He's following us around everywhere.

After mentioning that Webb was in California on a fundraising trip, Allen exhorted the crowd: "Let's give a welcome to Macaca here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia."

Then today, wowee ... a triple-threat, a vertiable hat-trick of celebrity biogotry at its finest. This time? Hooyah! Former Atlanta Mayor, Civil Rights Activist, and recently quit WalMart spokesman, Andrew Young. I'll let you read his rant verbatim.

Beauty.

Mel can blame his demons with the bottle ... Senator Allen simply plays stupid ... but Andrew? He wasn't drunk or stupid, so what's his excuse? Old age?

Ah - that would be "racist." He can say he isn't all he wants, but when you pull out the race card the way he did, what other explanation is there?

Nothing that man will every say will convince me otherwise.
