George Allenstein
By JBC | September 20, 2006
I simply cannout understand the furor over the fact that George Allen has Jews in his family tree. He has not made an issue of it. Is there any big deal that some of his family were Jews from Northern Africa? Is that really newsworthy? He didn’t know this, according to his own account, until a few months ago. I guess some are trying to imply that he was hiding his ancestors in the closet. But, what could he really say? It seems that he knows very little about that part of his family, and doesn’t seem to be ashamed of it. What should we do next, try to impugn the character of John McCain because there was some trailer trash in his tree? Try to drag Howard Dean down because there are a few Reds in his bushes? Fatboy Kennedy has a whole family of drunks, rapists, murderers, and Nazi sympathizers in his gene pool…in fact, more than a few of these descriptions fit the Boston Bastard himself, but his huge arse still strains a seat in the Capitol.
This is not news. This is an attempt by those on the left to paint a Republican presidential candidate as an anti-semite, and a staunch opponent of the diversity/multiculturalism fad. I am sure that it is George Allen’s view that it isn’t important. He was raised a Christian, and his mother was raised a Christian. Who cares if his ancestors were Jewish? Does it make him an anti-semite if he doesn’t bare his soul about his entire family history? I am sure that there are more than a few pagans in his very distant family tree, probably some Catholics, and God forbid, more than a few protestants. But, does it really matter? We care what George Allen is. We care what George Allen believes. We could care less what his Tunisian great grandfather did in the desert. We could care even less what some liberal hacks think about this, or anything else.
George Allen is not my cup of tea. He seems to be a run of the mill Republican, a big-government “conservative”. As much as I dislike his views, his Jewish background means nothing to me, one way or the other. With all the cracks and faults in GOP policy, why do the Democrats and liberals need to resort to race-baiting yet again?
