On Tuesday, political analyst Larry J. Sabato said he didn’t personally hear Allen use the epithet when they were classmates at Virginia. In a television interview a day earlier he had said he knew Allen had used the word....Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press: “I didn’t personally hear GFA (Allen’s initials) say the n-word. My conclusion is based on the very credible testimony I have heard for weeks, mainly from people I personally know and knew in the ’70s.”...Va. Racial Politics Still Brewing, Bob Lewis, AP, 9/27/2006
As of yet, MSM has yet to pick up on the credible accusations (and associated lawsuit by women affected) against Jim Webb, Democrat, that he encouraged an atmosphere extraordinarily hostile to midshipwomen at Annapolis when he headed the institution. Instead, he and his organization have put this fantastic story in play, where a political "analyst" (one may fairly read Jim Webb supporter) has made wholly unfounded accusations against Jim Webb's opponent in 2006, Senator George Allen, Rep., of Virginia, claiming at first to have seen and heard the Senator make nasty racial remarks and do nasty racial deeds when he was at university. Oh, wait, he didn't actually see and heard those things. He heard tales about them from reliable friends (it's fair to read people who agreed with him politically).
In New York, we have the spectre of HillBill Clinton, the Liars Duet, haunting the electorate. In Virginia, it looks like HillBill's friend Jim is playing the same phantoms game. If at first you don't succeed, lie, lie again.
