Democratic Staffer Meryl Ibis Resigns After anti-Semitic Remarks about Senator George Allen
Has MSM, CNN, et al picked up on this story yet? How many news cycles will this story play? No doubt the demlibs figure it isn't and her resignation was overkill and it will blow over. Is Nancy Pelosi drawing up her own resignation letter right now?
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."
In an e-mail sent last night, Meryl Ibis asked Democratic supporters to protest "George 'Macacawitz' Allen" during a Republican rally in Danville.
The term "Macacawitz" is an apparent reference to Allen's use of the word "macaca" and the recent discovery that he has Jewish heritage.
Weed spokesman Kurt Gleeson said the staffer "made a mistake in her language that was not sanctioned by the campaign." Weed is challenging Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr. (R-Va.) in the Southside district.
Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager, said Ibis's e-mail "fits a pattern of anti-Semitic behavior" by Democrats. Wadhams said Allen's opponent, Democrat James Webb, should be held accountable for Ibis's e-mail because she also was one of his volunteer organizers.

"So what, we are talking about Foley Foley Foley Foley and NOTHING else".
