Perhaps you’d like to explain the "jokes" behind this tidbit in her book:
"Referring to George’s early leadership skills, Jennifer wrote: “We all obeyed George. If we didn’t, we knew he would kill us. Once, when Bruce refused to go to bed, George hurled him through a sliding glass door. Another time, when Gregory refused to go to bed, George tackled him and broke his collarbone. Another time, when I refused to go to bed, George dragged me up the stairs by my hair.” [Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach’s Daughter, page 22]"
You essentially accused the Huffington Report of distorting the story by cherry picking.
It seems to me you have done exactly that.
But maybe I’m just humor challenged about throwing someone through a glass door and dragging someone by their hair.

It doesn’t really matter, he is not going to be the nominee, in fact though, I think he will be the front runner to be the VP. |

rjw, I think you missed this part: she said the book was written from the perspective of a young girl surrounded by older brothers and a larger-than-life father. She called it "a novelization of the past." |

Reasonable people can differ about whether calling a dark-skinned person a monkey is racist?
Whatever you’re smoking, pass some this way. |

Reasonable people can differ about whether calling a dark-skinned person a monkey is racist? Reasonable people can disagree about whether he knew the meaning of what is, frankly, a pretty obscure word — you know english, but do you know every obscure english racial epithet? — and whether he used it as a racial epithet. If one assumes was familiar with the word, wouldn’t he be familiar with its target? It’s a racial epithet addressed to blacks from Northern Africa. Sidarth is neither.
If I verbally called you a ’brona’, and you informed me that the word ’brona’ is a racial epithet — and I assume I just made the word up — could reasonable people disagree about whether it was racist? Yeah. And since the intent was not racial, then it would not, in fact, be racist — although, you would certainly feel slighted, and an explanation would be in order. |

"A novelization of the past"???
Just what the heck does that mean? Novels, of course, are at least partly fiction. Is she confessing to making up some or all of that stuff? |

I can think of a million reasons why the sister is now changing her story, and most of them have to do with the backlash of being honest about it in public. It’s not a tenous thread. It’s his sister, being very detailed and specific in her allegations.
She called it "a novelization of the past."
Was she lying before, or is she being pressured into lying now? |

I was rather surprised at the line "about which reasonable people may disagree". To me it seems the only ones who’d disagree are some very creepy people, but then they fail on both counts of reasonable and people, don’t they?
For me, i am more ashamed at the efforts of the rep hacks who are trying to whitewash (no pun intended) the affair. |

Jon Henke -
How disengenuous.
Allen is fluent in French. His mother speaks French and he studied it the language in college. The word he used was a French word. He surely knew the meaning - both times he said it.
Even if he didn’t know the meaning of the word, then why follow the phrase with "Welcome to America"?
Why would you insult someone with a word you just ’made up’?

More than a french insult, it’s particular to Northern Africans. Mr. Allen’s mother is a native french speaker from tunisia, in Northern Africa. The odds of such an obscure insult being known to me, here in N. Va. are slim indeed, but the odds of someone of Mr. Allen’s upbringing knowing the word and it’s use are quite high. Reasonable minds can differ, but here it seems likely he knew it and used it that way on purpose. |
