That boom you are hearing is the Allen campaign imploding

Stories depicting a candidate as an overt racist are bad enough. The killer here is Allen’s recent statements that he learned tolerance from his family and that he never used the “N-word”. It was, of course, utter bullshit but it was at least plausibly true. If we are to believe Michael Scherer’s Salon article, Allen was provably racist while in college and a huge liar right now.
