George Allen and Jim Webb had another debate yesterday. Probably to the relief of many of you, I did not get to see it. But from the clip I did see, and the clip that everyone will see, Allen walked away from this fray the big winner. After running a sub-par campaign and his dreadful appearance on Sunday’s Meet the Press, Allen caught a huge break, a break that will likely turn the momentum of the race in his direction.
One of the panelists, a woman named Peggy Fox, asked Allen, “It has been reported 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?”
The crowd booed, and rightly so. Allen responded with angry indignation, again rightly so. And, I must say, he looked good doing so. The problem with a politician as programmed as George Allen is he often appears phony. This question showed the real man, and it was the best I’ve seen him look during the campaign.

This stuff has been going on for a couple of years now, I'm just glad that folks like me are beginning to notice it....
Libs villified Bush as "Hitler", while using Nazi-style tactics themselves. And now the racism and hatreds of the Far left are beginning to boil to the surface, more out of frustration at continued failure, than anything else, I believe...
Sorry...
I meant:"Folks other than me"
You've already had leftists trying to organize demonstrations to "Storm The Whitehouse" and Remove the President by force..
The farther these people sink into the swirling oblivion of history, the more insane they get...
The more they lose the more they're convinced there is a great conspiracy against them.
Barnett is delusional if he thinks she will suffer any consequences. She attempted to embarass a Republican, and there is no higher calling in the MSM. She'll probably get promoted.
Reminds me of the old "one drop" laws. Would this reporter ask someone if they had any black ancestors just in the interest of "honesty"? He should have asked her if she had any KKK in her background.
I saw the tape of this outrageous moment the other night. Incredible and monumentally disgusting.
The look on George Allen's face was a mixture of quiet rage and disbelief. The boos started in response to the question, and Allen reacted with measured anger: Perfect response.
Thing is, I agree that the "Jewish Question" thrown Allen's way will prove to be the turning point in this campaign. That imbecilic, anti-semetic, reporter took the "M" word right off the map for Allen, greatly smoothing his road to re-election.
Peggy Fox is a liberal, insensitive twit. Jan Fox is simply a liberal twit.

Throw the Jew down the well!
The thing that cracks me up is that the Dummies and their ilk think that the anything goes in free expression movement was killed by fundamentalist christians. Anybody in the workplace in the 70s knows the real murderer of free expression was feminism.
AMEN
