What are you talking about? It's funny what people want to parse through these days.
This article is a perfect follow-up to his official release yesterday.
See, he acknowledged that his GRANDFATHER was jewish. Then the Webbies launched another round of attacks saying that he was admitting the answer to the question was "yes".
But the QUESTION was about whether his MOTHER was jewish. And Allen in this article points out that nobody has any idea whether his GRANDMOTHER was jewish. And by jewish law, you are "born jewish" if your MOTHER is jewish, not just your father.
The biggest non-connected blogger in Virginia, who was neck-deep in the m-word stuff, just got slapped down by the Allen campaign.
They are attacking a guy for having a grandfather who was jewish and imprisoned by the Nazis.
And you are upset because he made a joke about a ham sandwich and pork chops?
Actually, you probably aren't. You are afraid some idiot in the media WILL, and you want your candidates to cater to the stupidity of the media, maybe?
From the article:
Allen and campaign manager Dick Wadhams indicated that Allen's maternal grandfather, Felix Lumbroso, an Italian businessman jailed by the Nazis in North Africa, was Jewish. Allen said in the interview he does not know his maternal grandmother's religion.
Because Judaism is traced through the mother, children born to Jewish women are considered Jews. Allen said his mother, who could not be reached for comment, was raised as a Christian -- as was he.
and as well we all know(I lived my growing up years in the Clarke County)if you are a Christian there there are two meats for Sunday dinner,, fried chicken and or Virginia Ham
"The biggest non-connected blogger in Virginia, who was neck-deep in the m-word stuff, just got slapped down by the Allen campaign."
Who would that be?
BTW, the article is also great because Allen explains the "aspersions" comment.

Did someone get indicted?
