Sen. Allen to Be Depicted as Racist by New Republic

My hopeful 2008 presidential candidate Sen. George Allen (R-VA) appears to be the subject of a soon-to-be-released article in the New Republic in which Allen is smeared as a racist because of his attitude in high school.

Usually people wait for the announcement of a candidacy before they start smearing a person. Even if he did display the confederate flag in high school, I'm pretty sure that's not as bad as being a member of the Ku Klux Klan...but Sen. Byrd's fans might disagree.

*Update*
