to jon:
forgetting for a moment that even different Jewish groups have different answers to the ‘who is a Jew’ question, I still have not found a single source that lists Allen’s mother as Jewish. She is usually described as French Tunesian who speaks several languages, including Arabic but not Hebrew. Her father was French-Italian and it is said he spent time in the Nazi camps. Maybe that makes her Jewish.

To menot
By definition, a jew is either a convert or one’s mother is a jew. This is universally accepted in jewish law.
Allen’s mother is a french jew but allen is a practicing christian. I could be wrong but I venture to speculate that allen is a self hating jew.

Jon’s comment is rather comical, given the fact that as far as I can tell George Allen is not Jewish. Once again the pot is calling the kettle black.

It is downright pathetic and outright disgrace to see racist remarks coming from a jew.
America and the world want Virgina to get rid of this racist from our government.
Allen represents racial intolerance and bigotry.

Hilarious. Colbert and Stewart are the best shows on television.
