Democrats, The Anti-Aspersives

From Max Sawicky, Allen's campaign finally - at last! - plays the race card. Max runs with it. It's a new strategy for Allen - he can now call his critics anti-Semites (but... would that be a non-aspersion? Huh...).

Latest from The Post: A field organizer for Democratic congressional candidate Al Weed resigned yesterday after it was discovered that she referred to Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) as "Macacawitz." . . . Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager, said Ibis's e-mail "fits a pattern of anti-Semitic behavior" by Democrats.

Let's see. We've got a Senator with Stars and Bars, lynching noose, severed head of deer in black stranger's mailbox, palling around with white supremacists, calling an American of South Asian descent a monkey, taking a question about Jewish descent as an "aspersion, and his aide is offended.

On the other hand, there is no ethnic or religious slur implied by calling the campaign manager "Dick-wad."
