Did they accuse him of disparaging "blacks" and Jews? (Link to article didn't work for me.) If so, then we can add "slander" to the list of charges against race-baiting demagogues OLYMPIA MEOLA AND PAMELA STALLSMITH.
Duh ... it's right there in the first sentence.
I don't believe the man intended to disparage Jews, it was something along the lines of that "ham sandwich" thing, or Byrd's infamous "white n*****s" remark - trying to come across as accepting, but fumbling badly and ending up perpetuating a stereotype. As far as ancestors having a slave, I seriously doubt that any of us could honestly claim to have none. Bondage was an accepted part of existence for the vast majority of human history ... doesn't make it right, but doesn't make it go away, either.
