Wow. Allen’s thugs take down a questioner. Guess stuff like that happens in George Allen’s Amerika.
I think Allen’s wife was lucky he only spit on her. I’m glad she escaped from Macaca Man without additional harm.
UPDATE at Eschaton – the man’s name is Mike Stark who blogs at Calling All Wingnuts.
More on George Allen’s “character” here, from his sister.

NBC 29: Count on Us – Incident at Allen Campaign Stop in Charlottesville
Senator George Allen, (R) made a campaign stop in Charlottesville Tuesday morning and it was met with controversy.
As Senator Allen was exiting a ballroom, coming to talk to the media, a protestor started yelling and asking, “Why did you spit on your first wife?”. He wasn’t able to get near the senator as he was tackled by three men wearing Allen stickers, presumed to be staffers. He was pushed and manhandled and ended up on the floor, near windows at the Omni.
Senator Allen went back into a conference room and after the man was removed from the building, we were able to talk to Allen and asked him what he thought of the incident. He responded saying stuff like that happens.
