64. The local news just ran the video and asked for viewer input.
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 05:08 PM by Virginian
I wanted to tell them that this is par for the course with George Allen. He has a long history of racism. And of course, he is getting off the hook yet again, by dismissing this as just a made up nick name. You can imagine the name he might have made up if Sidarth had been black. The name was bad enough, but the tone he used was so condescending to wards the young man.

Trouble is they wanted the viewer input in video format.
WRC, NBC4.com.


I think Allen misspoke a little when he told Sidarth, "its great to have you here and you show it to your opponent because he's never been there and probably will never come."
I don't think Jim Webb is Siddarth's opponent, he's Allen's.
Allen must be lost. It seems he had a little problem realizing he was "here" and not "there".

edited for clarity.
