Retread but interesting.

[mabelkitty]

He's also French - not Austrian.
The aforementioned suicidal grandfather is French.
I would vote for Al Sharpton before I would vote for the filthy Frency.

[pfflier]

Who knew? Who cares!

On the other hand his Vietnam Vets Against the War activities, his false testimony to congress about atrocities and his collaboration with East German communists are not mentioned in anyone's campaign.

How odd.

[passionfruit]

What a coinkeedinkee! Hildabeast "discovered" her own Jewish roots when she was trying to win her Senate race. Seems like dems really do want to butter up the Jewish population during election years. Now all John Kerry needs to do is find his black and hispanic ancestors to sew up the election.

Good thing he managed to get Jewish grandparents in time for the New York and Florida primaries.

By the way... if his paternal grandmother was Jewish, then so was his father, by definition, at least at birth. If this is a genuine story, why is there no mention of his father being Jewish?

Call me cynical, but I smell a political ploy.

[Lady GOP]

Not much talk about this. Hadnt heard he was French either.

Nah if anything hed be trying to downplay it. This may well cost him votes.

[Howie66]

But, we ALL know that he IS a Viet Nam veteran war hero!

[TommyDale]

I wonder if Kerry and Hitlery are cousins?

[southernnorthcarolina]

In addition to having "discovered" his Jewish roots, I think I recall Senator Kerry mentioning that he served in Viet Nam. I could be wrong on this, however.

[WOSG]

Well as an Irish American, it is interesting that his name does not match his real roots.

[Dante3]

I can't understand why Madeline and Kerry have lied about their ancestors. Having Jewish ancestors is certainly noting to be ashamed of.

What did Clark lie about?

[Lady GOP]

Gee youre really up on things, huh?

[thoughtomator]

I doubt it this will cost him a single vote, in the net, and will probably gain him a few thousand in key states, which IMHO is the whole point of this (likely fabricated) exercise.

" By the way... if his paternal grandmother was Jewish, then so was his father, by definition, at least at birth. If this is a genuine story, why is there no mention of his father being Jewish? "

I'm with you. How hard would it have been for Master John to say, " Father,if we're Irish,how come we don't celebrate St Patrick's Day and why does Grandmother speak Yiddish ? " Either Kerry is extremely thick or he tried to hide his background. This doesn't pass the smell test.

[glock rocks]

I wonder if Kerry and Hitlery are cousins?

Holy cow, does that make our Vietnam Vet an FJB? Aggghh, the horror...

[GOPyouth]

The next thing you know, we'll be informed that he served in Vietnam or something like that. I heard somewhere that he served.

[Petronski]

Kerry, who is a practicing Catholic....

Bullocks.

paternal grandmother was Jewish,

Tell the Goy that Jewishness is not handed down through your fathers side, it is handed down through your mothers side.
