CLAUDE ALLEN's Replusive Resume ( presidential advisor and Target thief)

snip >>>>
Known as Rove’s enforcer, Allen wielded a heavy, censorious and punitive hand at HHS. In November 2001, Thompson loyally toed the Rove-Bush line when he put Allen in charge of supervising HHS’s audit of HIV-prevention spending. Allen led an HHS witch-hunt that investigated all of the AIDS service organizations (ASOs) receiving any federal funding (like New York City’s Gay Men’s Health Crisis) whose staff members had disrupted Tommy Thompson’s speech to the 14th Annual International AIDS Conference in Barcelona; they were there to protest Bush’s lethal do-nothingism about the AIDS pandemic. These audits were designed to intimidate ASOs into abandoning AIDS advocacy. A number of ASOs, like San Francisco’s Stop AIDS Project and half a dozen other California AIDS-fighting groups, were ultimately purged from receiving U.S. funding by the Allen-led witch-hunt because Allen didn’t like their science-based sex-education programs. Allen ordered Advocates for Youth, the leading national coalition for safe-sex ed, audited half a dozen times.

Moreover, Allen was the driving force to replace science-based sex ed with the failed policy of teaching that only abstinence prevents AIDS. A black conservative and religious primitive, Allen helped bludgeon the Centers for Disease Control, which reports to HHS, into purging safe-sex materials from its Web sites and into adopting mandatory new rules requiring AIDS-fighting groups to teach that condoms don’t work in preventing the spread of AIDS, as I reported in the L.A. Weekly last year ("Condom Wars," June 25–July 1). When a federal judge found that a federally funded Louisiana abstinence program "illegally handed out Bibles, staged anti-abortion prayer rallies outside women’s clinics and had students perform Bible-based skits," Allen refused to have the program audited, while continuing his repeated audit persecutions of effective AIDS-fighting groups teaching condom use.>>>>snip

Allen’s history as a gay-baiter goes back to his days as a top aide to the notorious homophobe Senator Jesse Helms. In 1984, Allen accused Helms’ Democratic challenger, then-Governor James Hunt, of having links to "queers," "radical feminists," socialists and unions (Hunt was, in fact, a Bible-quoting right-wing Dem.) And Allen forged his odious reputation as a black capo for the racist right when he continued working for Helms despite the senator’s militant opposition to making Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a national holiday.>>>>snip

bring all this out. Perhaps I just haven't read the right places, but as an LBN mod for a year and one-half you would think I would have seen his name before. I hope he gets humiliated and that this incident will open up even more discussion of the type of creeps Bush has around.
( I can dream )

he implemented.

:hi:

What a waste of a human being.

regurgitated the right Bible quotes. The ugly truth -- and I know this from having lived in the Bible-belt South (which has always been a defacto theocracy) -- is that Christian Fundamentalism attracts hypocrites in the same way that carrion attracts vultures.

and deeds of this man are revealed...this is the quality of people that Bush has hired... immoral henchmen

.... of moral leaders.

I remember noted last Feb., when he quit to spend more time with his family that it didn't pass
the smell test.

when in the hell are people going to realize that scum quotiont is a requirement to be this WH.

this is one of the oldest tried and true shopping scam..just a bit higher on the scale of stuffing your purse or coat.161,000 a year and he`s scamming target? the dude has a mental problem....

couldn`t happen to a better guy!!!

instead he hangs out with the president of the united states and gets tapped for a lifetime appointment to the fed bench.

which is why they kept him on after Jan. 2, which is when they found out about his incident at Target.

i mean, honestly----how many more uber-conservative 'moral, religious' types have to get caught up in their own hypocrisy before people start to learn? let me guess: i bet he was one of the 'tough on crime' types as well

:rofl:

like he was waiting to get caught and get off the hypocrital merry go round life that he's been living.

His id perpetuated a crime to mirror his true self.
good point BlueManDude

hearing his name or seeing his mug before...

From what I understand, Allen's resume and experience was neck and neck with Miers' in what it lacked.




What freaked me out was the possibility of history repeating itself.

Just another yes-man who did what he was told. That equals merit with the criminal Bush cabal. The Bush administration operates like a criminal syndicate, in which loyalty is the most important quality, not merit, intelligence, or character.

It is frighhtening to think how many unqualified and unprincipled assholes like this guy have been appointed to the highest positions in our government and military.

This Nation will be fortunate if it ever recovers from these years of republican dominance and corruption.
