That's true, but couldn't Allen have just ducked through some door leaving the guy yelling like an idiot? Or maybe some pre-planning could have avoided the confrontation. I don't know what I would have done, but the anti-Allen forces are going to get some mileage out of that video. I'm guessing he had some sharp words for his campaign people after they got away from the media.

As for macacca being on Webb's payroll, so what? Allen has people doing the same thing. There's nothing wrong with it. Macacca is just a college kid committed to a political cause. Based on everything I've heard, he was never disrespectful to Allen. Why did Allen single him out for ridicule? It's not the crime of the century, but I don't think it's right for a U.S. Senator to demean a young person who shows that much interest in the political process.
