True! Take Sen. George Allen (R-Va.). Allen recently came under fire for (repeatedly) uttering a racial slur during a press conference. Yesterday, at an event to kick-off his new campaign strategy, aimed at shifting focus away from his racist side and more towards “Issues, Ideas and a Proven Record”, Allen continued to show is true colors:

Allen took a handful of questions after he gave his speech, but deflected any questions about his past racial statements. He also seemed unhappy with questions about why, if he wants to talk about real issues, his campaign is still running ads criticizing Webb for statements about women made 27 years ago.

“It’s respect for women,” Allen said, hurrying to his car to return to Washington for a meeting.
