As an Italian-American and NIAF member I must say that they are trying a bit too hard to be offended by all this. No big deal, I say.

yes, but its good to get something out there like this early. my bet is that the Dems are already looking for any link between Alito and organized crime - not a direct link mind you, but anything. so if he had concrete poured in his home by a company that had "ties" to the family, they will smear him with that. or if he likes to eat dinner at an italian restaurant that is "connected" in any way.

remember, the average sheeple's view of italian-americans is what they see on television - the Sopranos and the Godfather. remember the phone call between Clinton and Flowers about Cuomo - that's the stereotype.

I somewhat agree but it is always pretty funny to see the left's very own tactics used against them.

They're not trying too hard. They are playing the game! ;)

The only reason that I would disagree with you is because the debate should not be allowed to sink to such low levels. Might as well make it clear at the get-go that gutter-sniping is not acceptable in this public debate.

Ditto and I couldn't agree more.

Anything to put the dems on the defensive

Got to use their own tactics against them
