...Since Sen. John Kerry discovered a year ago that his father's father was Jewish-born, he has struggled over whether and how to talk about his Jewish background...

My father's father was a farmer. Does that mean I have a farming background even though I never lived on a farm?

Does it now follow that "The Passion of the Christ" is a direct attack on Kerry?

Now I'm supposed to believe that John Effing Kerry, a member of the most arrogant and snobbish bunch of elitists in the USA, suddenly "discovered" his grandfather was Jewish and that he had relatives die in the holocaust? His geneology was a mystery until just last year? Just at the time he decided to run for president. How convenient.

He doesn't get to wear the bloody shirt, but he thinks he can wear the yellow star, eh? What's his tattoo say... 666?

How does Kerry having Jewish relatives killed in the Holocaust square with Kerry abandoning the War on Terror and seeking negotiation with the nations that sponser?

Can you say Vichy France. Don't offer any resistance to the Germans and round up as many Jews as you can find to ship them to the concentration camps.

Why, is he afraid he'll lose his Muslim donors?

Didn't Hillary have a Jewish grandmother by marriage?

And, won't leave out Hillary.

I once went to a Bar Mitzvah, and I'm circumsized.

Look what all Mad Madelyn Albright found out about how much more clout she might have had after she discovered some of the folks she might have been kin to that might have helped her get some perks she might have been entitled to through a little ancestor checking chicanery

Didn't help her much she still is as revolting and "ugally" as ever.

With the mountains of short comings Kerry has I don't think he has time or the credible evidence to help him much either.

Besides look how revoltingly "ugally" he is.

While I am personally opposed to gassing Jews, my objections to gassing Jews are derived from my deeply-held religious convictions. Others do not share those religious convictions, and it would be a violation of the important principle of separation of church and state for me to try to impose my convictions regarding Jew-gassing on others, whose deeply-held convictions tell them that the choice to gas Jews is the best choice in their own personal circumstances.

I thought the Jewish faith has matriarchal lineage, not patriarchal. Thus just because his father's father was Jewish, that does not mean that John Kerry should be considered as being Jewish. Besides, he converted to Catholicism decades ago.

Sounds like a PR ploy to go after the all important Irish-Jewish vote.

You're right. It's matriarchal. While it's nice he wants to research his Jewish roots, he's considered about as Jewish as a Ham on Rye Sandwich.

BTW, don't underestimate the political pull of the McHorowitz's!
