Allen (R-Macaca) Makes Questionably Anti-Semitic Remark

[JABBS]

Click here to check out George Allen's latest stupid quip.

It comes on the heels of an Aug. 25 article in the Jewish Daily Forward. Allen and campaign manager Dick Wadhams confirmed Tuesday that the article was correct, and that Allen's maternal grandfather, Felix Lumbroso, an Italian businessman jailed by the Nazis in North Africa, was Jewish.

1. Why can't you post the quip here? n/t

[JABBS]

3. i wanted you to read it in context

and DU frowns upon posting more than a couple grafs from a linked story.

Just trying to follow the rules.

8. Or you want to increase ad revenue

Considering that your DU user name is JABBS and the linked story URL is at jabbs.blogspot.com, I'd say you're trying to increase traffic to your blog. I can't imagine DU moderators complaining about you posting the full text from your own website.

9. That was my thought but, I am in a bad mood today, so I thought

it would be better not to respond. Its old news anyway. Here Felix thought he was a Southerner, but it turned out he's a Jewish-Confederacy-Loving guy from LA wearing faux cowboy boots. You just can't make these things up.

11. i've been told

to limit what I post here to two or three graphs. the fact that i'm linking to my own site is not unique to DU, and not wrong. my post on JABBS is original, not merely a copy of an AP story or some such.

5. Because the whole blog post is worth reading.

Every single word.

That's why.

2. This was real telling:

"What they put my father through. I always was fearful," Etty Allen said in a telephone interview. "I didn't want my children to have to go through that fear all the time. When I told Georgie, I said, 'Now you don't love me anymore.' He said, 'Mom, I respect you more than ever.' "

She even knows he's a bigot. What an douchbag.

4. "oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceieve!"

the racist bastard afraid he loose his aryan vote

6. Wow.

It's almost like he WANTS Webb to win.

7. But Rush said that he handled it well

Actually Rush played the AUDIO of the initial question. The Video is much more telling of how taken aback Allen was.

12. that was from the debate

10. Felix just can't catch a break

Whenever a wave of bad press ends he sticks is foot right back in his mouth and starts the cycle up again. If he keeps this up Webb won't have to say a word and he'll be elected in November.
