Or maybe Iraqish. With a beard he could pass among any middle Eastern terrorist group without raising any suspicion at all.

LOL LOL LOL

And when my Kerry ancestors first came over to Massachusetts from the old country to find work in the New World, it was my English ancestors who refused to hire them."

Kerry's Jewish grandfather was born as Fritz Kohn and later changed his name to Frederick Kerry.

John F. Kerry's shameful attempt to deny and hide his Jewish roots is insulting and anti-Semitic.

What?.........Can't we play that game too?

Let up on Ketchup-Boy now, willya?

You know what we used to say in the Boy Scouts, "Never criticize another brave until you have walked a mile in his mocassins."

for your penance Francis Joseph, you are to walk a mile to a Boston political rally and sing all of the verses of "Was Your Mother Born in Czechoslovakia."

After just one try, you will easily see why the ardently pacifistic francophone war criminal, John "57 Varieties" Kerry may have tended to ethnically obfuscate. Ethics of course, is another matter.

The reason I love John Kerry, is that he is just like my hero, Ted Kennedy, but without the dead girl in the car. Of course, if you would only let the scales drop from your eyes, you would easily see that this qualifies him as President.

He tells people in Boston that he's Irish.

He tells the NAACP that he will be the second Black president.

I can't wait until Kerry speaks before the gay convention.

" Kerry's Jewish grandfather was born as Fritz Kohn "

So, does that make Kerry a Leprekohn ?

BTW- I agree with you about " John F. Kerry's shameful attempt to deny and hide his Jewish roots is insulting and anti-Semitic. "

He only hides them in Boston. In Brooklyn, he is vying to be the first HAsidim to be President, in Mississippi, the secong black President and in San Francisco, the first metrosexual President.

Kerry is all things to all people and has every issue surrounded.

Unfortunately he suffers from the same affliction as Al Gore, overload of hubris, underload of personality.

Such is life.

Kerry was Irish when he needed Irish votes to get into the Senate. When he decide to go for the presidency, he "suddenly" found his Jewish roots. The joke is Kerry got tonsured for Irish votes, and was circumsized for Jewish votes. Now he needs the gay, transgender, metrosexual vote.

They're gonna send out announcements after the election.

[Kenny Bunk]

Kerry's grandfather was born as "Fritz Kohn"

Lissen up as I am not going over this again,
The Name was

FITZ CONAN

Ya got that?

[dead]

[AmishDude]

That said, I'm glad he is NOT Irish since one of my ancestors is a "Carey".

Not the best genes you've got there, is it?

[dead]

I should have scrolled down to see that you already posted it! Ooops.

[Kenny Bunk]

So ya wanna know some dirt about Ketchup Boy?

When he was running against Weld, a story was written about the wonderful and funny reception Trick-or-Treaters got at Weld's house
as opposed to the shabby treatment dished out chez Heinz- Kerry.

This phony SOB! $500 Million in Condiment Money and this Irishman can't even get Halloween right?

[petitfour]

Kerry did not know his grandparents. His grandfather committed soooeycide in a hotel restroom. Blew his brains out. In the old Joe Kennedy neighborhood. Boston.com has a really long series on Kerry's past, including his family history.

[Khuey]

Kerry.....Isn't that a girls name?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

"Kerry did not know his grandparents"

Kerry can't get even this simple story straight.

According to the BBC on line, " Profile : John Kerry, " by Paul Reynolds, 02/25/04

" John Kerry says he remembers his grandmother as a practising Catholic. Although born Jewish, she had later converted."

His paternal grandmother, Ida Lowe Kerry died in 1960, when Kerry was 17. She came to America, at age 28, with her husband and firstborn son,( age unknown by me ) Kerry's uncle. My maternal grandmother died when I was 10 and I can still remember her lilting Irish voice.
So, I don't buy for one minute, that Kerry didn't realize that his grandmother and uncle were not Irish and that he couldn't recognize an Austrian accent. If one believes Kerry, than he must think Arnold Schwarzenegger is from County Mayo.
Your comment about the grandfather committing suicide reminds me-Kerry has a history suggesting depression and post traumatic stress disorder.
Might be a hereditary condition, but, since Kerry refuses to release his medical records, we can only speculate.

John F(raud) Kerry Kohn Job.

"...In Boston,the joke is John Kerry is Irish only every sixth year..."

In the rest of the country, John Fing Kerry IS THE JOKE!!!!!
