Man, when Salon does original reporting, boy do you drop bombshells. I very much enjoy that you've (apparently, at least) shown all your work.
I don't agree that this is Swift-Boating. There's no question that George Allen is racist and thus unfit for higher office. The evidence before this article was already plentiful, and he has not said or done anything since his alleged awakening that convinces me that he has any real new grasp of history or change in attitude.
Maybe I'm optimistic, but I hope that this new information convinces at least some voters who hadn't already been turned off by his past demonstrations of white supremacy--or his policies, more than sufficiently objectionable in themselves.
