willravel - You're right, IMHO. I mean, a bad quote or two is something that anyone in the spotlight is bound to have. But regular and constant quotes that show ignorance of your native tongue is generally considered to be due to lack of intelligence.
roachboy - I'm not sure I follow your thought line. First of all, by saying that you've been around ivy league schools just makes you a non-candidate for that argument to those that believe something there IS amiss. Also, how do you draw the conclusion that the assertion of political sway between the Saudi Royal Family and the Bush Family are somehow racist? It's nothing against the Saudis, or Arabs or any other group... it's a family with a lot of wealth and power (and interest in the US) that seems to hold a larger share of the political pie, behind the scenes, than most people would like to see or believe. I grew up in Detroit... Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit (and not far from where I lived) has the highest Arab population outside of the Middle East. I've been around Arabs as much as Blacks, Asians, Brits and pretty much any other group of people. I don't have any racist inclination toward any of them. *shrug* It seems to me that the racism card is a smoke screen of sorts, or that you don't really understand the argument being made. Is this a valid assessment?
