John Kennedy was asked about HIS Catholic background. Bigots were terrified that the Pope would be running the country. Kennedy had to assure people that was not the case.

Allen knows his being Jewish will cost him some redneck Repugnican votes.

Whoa, Ichy. Kerry's catholic background was a very big deal in 2004 because of his position on abortion and the church's position on him (some calling for him to be denied communion). He was asked about it repeatedly.

Being catholic has always been fair game for political questions...
