"GREENFIELD: Virginia Senator George Allen says he had no idea that the term macaca, that he aimed at a volunteer working for his rival, is a common racial slur in parts of North Africa, homeland of the senator's mother."
"George Allen is again saying that he regrets using the term "macaca" to refer to a Democratic campaign volunteer of Indian ancestry in 2006."
"Now the word 'macaca' is synonymous with not only Sen. Allen's failed re-election bid, but with the power of online video in politics."
