Allen wasn't suggesting that calling someone a decendant of a Jew was "casting aspersions" because he thinks there's something bad about jewish blood.
He was nailing the reporter's motive for bringing up jewish ancestry. She was the one whose frame of mind was at issue. Not the Senator, who was the innocent, intended victim of her totally inappropriate question.
That is so obvious at least to me, that I'm shocked that anyone attributes wrong attitudes about jews to Senator Allen.
And not much can shock me anymore, so that is saying something...
Correctamundo.
Imagine a black candidate being asked if it was true that he was his grandmother was an octaroon.
It is race baiting at its worst.
