BTW, still waiting to find a Nisei who sent his or her kids to school to learn the Japanese language.
Apparently I missed the news that Der Stuermer has purchased a controlling interest in al-AP.
LoL.....
Many many survivors of the Nazi genocide hid their pasts from their children out of fear of future anti-semitism.
I don't even pretend to know much about Virginia state politics, but your reply is the best I've heard so far.
The entire episoed has been completely crazy, is there a real anti-Jew politician voting block in the Republican heartlands in Virginia? Or is this some warped tabloid media adventure into an abyss of racial slurs to garner ratings? WTF is going on down there?
And his Jewish heritage is relevant to politics in what way?
Bringing this up would be a gross overreach by the lady reporter in a political column, much less blindsiding someone in a political debate.
"Your mother was a Jew!!!"
These Demo-fascists become more brazen every day.
Something vile this way comes - and it's the liberal media.
Good interview with Mrs. Allen.
Clears up why the Senator didn't talk about it and appeared not to know.
Think this will help him.
SO WHAT!! Good grief!
The dinks in the press evidently think this will reduce support for Allen, when in reality it will probably increase it, on several levels.
It increases name recognition, getting his name in front of people who hadn't thought about him. It humanizes him. He seems to have handled this fairly well, he seems to be a man of integrity despite press insinuations.
Christians won't care, because Christianity isn't an ethnicity, they care only about what you believe. If he says he's a Christian, and generally behaves honorably, thats all they care.
Republicans don't care about ethnicity, they care about where you stand on the war and the constitution.
Knowing his grandfather was persecuted by the Nazis is a net plus.
Its bizarre that the retards in the press would think his jewish ancestry would embarrass him, or make a hill of beans worth of difference to anyone. In the end he stands taller than he did before this incident, and they are revealed yet again to be the slow kids, not ready for prime time, and not ready for the adult table.
