REPORTER ACCUSES CANDIDATE OF HAVING SECRET JEWISH ANCESTORS!!

During a debate between Republican Senator George Allen and Democratic challenger Jim Webb, a reporter "accused" George Allen of being of secret Jewish ancestry. Here's the video:

The reporter, Peggy Fox, doesn't see what the big deal is .

"I was shocked," she said after the event. Disclosing that her great-grandfather was a Mormon polygamist, she added: "Why would he get so angry at the suggestion there might be something in your background that's Jewish? I don't think that's a bad thing at all." Fox said her motive was curiosity. "I thought it was important to find out is this part of his heritage, because if it is nobody knows it. Do you deny part of your heritage for political reasons?"

Here is the article from the Jewish Forward to which the reporter is referring.
