"[Allen has] something against Jews."

"... 1) he's an anti-Jewish bigot, or 2) he's afraid he'll lose the bubba vote if people think he's a Jew."

"George Allen has a nasty, sadistic, vicious, violent streak... "

"What did [George Allen's mother] tell her son all these years, that her father was imprisoned by the Nazis because he was gay or a gypsy?"

p> WEBB TOO br> Supporters of Virginia Senate Democrat candidate Jim Webb apparently aren't satisfied with pushing the story to reporters about Sen. George Allen 's Jewish heritage. Late last week they were trying to attack his children. /p>

According to DNC sources, some Webb staffers deployed to the campaign by the party have been mentioning to reporters that it's "interesting" that Allen purportedly named his son, Forrest, after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a legendary Confederate general. But that isn't their only point.

"Bedford was a founding member of the Ku Klux Klan, and these Webb supporters were working reporters to push the KKK angle and link it to Allen's desire to have his son named after him," says a DNC source. "This is opposition research our own staff pulled together. Some of us are uncomfortable with it, others here aren't."

Allen, who had dealt with a series of controversies related to race, religion and family heritage, has never commented on whom his son was named after, if anyone.
