Rethuglican Senator George Allen showed his true colors yesterday by refusing to denounce his supporters' attack upon a liberal blogger. The blog writer, W. Michael Stark, was attacked after he asked the senator detailed questions about the circumstances surrounding his contentious divorce. Stark, a first year law student, was shoved, punched, knocked to the floor, and his head was nearly was pushed through a plate-glass door by Allen's rabid supporters.
Stark filed criminal charges with the local police but said he did not know the names of his attackers. (I'll he can pick them out of a police line-up, especially since the incident was videotaped and, oh look, here's another video source).
Allen was at a campaign stop in Charlottesville when Stark was attacked. As for his response to the incident, Allen claimed that his democratic opponent, Jim Webb, had provoked the incident.
Ho-hum .. so it goes.
