3. He's 1/8 Jewish I Believe...
His grandfather was Jewish and he married a gentile I believe....


The great anthropologist Margaret Meade said we're all descended from the Jews...

6. Okay, there really are people who are so incredibly stupid they shouldn't
be allowed to vote.

I actually don't believe that, I think even those with Alzheimer's and dementia ought to be allowed if they can understand the instructions (I'm a civil rights purist), but this is ridiculous.

8. Sorry to burst her bubble....
I'll bet she's never met an Arab-American. If she lived where I do, where the population is about one third Arab-Americans (Dearborn, MI), she'd know that they're backing Kerry about 95%, or better. In our city of almost a million people, as I said, about a third, or 333,000, are Arab-American. At the latest Arab-Americans for Bush gathering, approximately 100 people attended. Eat that, ignorant asshat.

16. Ask An Arab-American How Their Life Has Been Since 9/11
Or any immigrant of dark skin. These people were strong Bushbots in 2000 and got dumped on major. I'd be real surprised to see Bunnypants draw 20% of the vote in Wayne County.

One group I do see as big Bushbots are Hindus...many in my area waiving Bunnypants stickers...since so many are tied into the outsourcing business.

18. My husband is a lighter skinned Asian Indian, often misteken for ME.
A HindI (Hindu is a religion, but I know you meant no harm).

After 9/11, we did not go out in public together for a while, and he was terrified of taking our son out alone (our son is lighter skinned and with brown hair).

That's not so in my area, where there is a very active, very Democratic Indian community. Many still remain Conservative, but even they are po'ed at Bunnypants for not finishing what he started in Afghanistan, not taking out OBL, etc...

21. I Didn't Mean To Offend
I worked with the Hindu/Pak community (their term) in Chicago...and it was interesting how that community operated considering it was mixed between Moslems and Hindus.

There's a local family that operates several convenience stores that were physically attacked during the days following 9/11 and their kids took a lot of verbal abuse. One gentleman, who wore a turban to work, had to stay home for over 6 months since he wouldn't go to work without his turban even if he needed the money.

The cruelty of people is incredible...especially the stereotyping that goes on for partisan purposes.

I'd imagine many Indians would be PO'd at this regime for it's coddling of Musharaf (Bunnypants finally remembered his name) and letting Khan go virtually scott free in his nuclear program.

26. Extremely po'ed about Musharif.
Not to mention, to save his own ass, Musharif is coddling al Qaeda, I expect.

10. Kerry is NOT Jewish.
Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 08:22 AM by LynnTheDem
Do these people just pull this crap out of their arses???

Kerry's grandfather was Jewish who converted to RC.

Jewishness is passed down on the MATERNAL SIDE ONLY; Kerry's grandmother was NOT Jewish; Kerry's mother was NOT Jewish.

How does that essential Jewishness get passed down: Through the mother.

12. Um, Judaism is a religion
so how can Kerry be one-eighth Jewish? Does he just light one candle on a menorah? Does he try to follow 1.2+ commandments?

The original Jews, to my knowledge were a semitic people--but then so were the Arabs. Thus, Arabs and Jews have the same ethnicity. In fact both Arabs and Jews trace their ancestry back to biblical Abraham through different sons.

Oh, and Arab is not equal to Muslim. There are Christian, Jewish, etc. Arabs.

19. there are many Jews who consider themselves Jews for cultural
reasons. such as they were raised jewish and come from a family of jews. some of them even are atheist, agnostic or anything else which is not in line with the jewish religion. but they still consider themselves jewish based on where they come from.

25. Agreed, but wouldn't that still make it a cultural identification
and not a religious, racial, or ethnic group? Also, should there be such a thing as an athiesitc Jew? I would love to hear opinions from that person on the matter.

22. He's a Roman Catholic Jew
Now how many Jews do you know are Roman Catholic. Real Jews never convert . I have a niece who had to become a Jew to marry one. Now Kerry's nothing like that. Kerry is an AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!
