George Allen (R- VA) Refuses To Answer The Jewish Question

Allen's "attack the reporter" stunt is liable to backfire... Dick Cheney Big Time.

The important question about being Jewish: So what?

Yesterday, a local DC reporter asked Allen when his family converted (Allen has said that his grandfather was incarcerated by the Nazis), and All Allen Hell broke loose.

"It has been reported," said Fox, that "your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?"

Allen recoiled as if he had been struck. His supporters in the audience booed and hissed. "To be getting into what religion my mother is, I don't think is relevant," Allen said, furiously. "Why is that relevant -- my religion, Jim's religion or the religious beliefs of anyone out there?"

"Honesty, that's all," questioner Fox answered, looking a bit frightened.

"Oh, that's just all? That's just all," the senator mocked, pressing his attack. He directed Fox to "ask questions about issues that really matter to people here in Virginia" and refrain from "making aspersions."

But why? Why did George Allen go ape shit? Why is being Jewish "making aspersions," George?

Hm.

Could it be that Allen's noose-admiring, Confederate flag-waving, CCC card-carrying Cracker constituents might not vote for a Jew-blooded candidate?

On a personal note: When my family came to the United States, the Jewish-sounding family name was changed... to an Irish-sounding one. It was a pretty common occurrence.

But, of course, I have nothing to hide.

How about you, George "Macaca Man" Allen?

Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
