> Not sure what tribe it is, exactly, that you belong to, but while alleging that every Jew in American politics whose name you can remember (including a Greek Orthodox man who got included in the list somehow) are potential Jewish Traitors because their names sound Jewish to you and they’re in politics… well, it’s somewhat curious that you find a need to mock Jews by joking about how you’re one of them. Something tells me you might not enjoy the accusation that you’re a potential traitor because of your ethnicity. Of course, that seems to be the point.

Wonder away. Bothers me none.

As for the rest of the dribble contained in your post, keep digging.

Cheers!

Why don’t you post another fake transcript about it?

Of course, for those reading along,[this is Red’s view on all those “dual-loyalty” Jews](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12163142&postcount=204), where everybody with a Jewish sounding name in US politics just might be a Jewish Traitor. Never did find out what his reasoning was for accusing them of potential treachery.  
Must be some sort of good reason for such an accusation.

I tried to leave this open for some final comments, but since most of you appear to be more interested in pissing in each others’ cornflakes, this thread is closed.
