What a gross generalization so as to not even be serious. I made no such comparison and said nothing about "all" whites, blacks, hispanics, Spaniards, Americans, Chinese, Italians, Jews, Christians, or anyone as a race or ethnicity. I did not even reference actual people. Have you never seen The Godfather and Godfather II? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_GodfatherThe American The Godfather and its sequel Godfather II are rated by scores of critics as perhaps the greatest movies of all time. It is a work of fiction and often seen as just one movie with a partition, kinda like the Star Wars trilogy.

That very movie referenced by the analogy states:

"...Mr. CHAIRMAN, ... These hearings on the Mafia are in no way what-so-ever a slur upon the great Italian people. Because I can state from my own knowledge and experience -- that Italian-Americans are among the most loyal -- most law-abiding -- patriotic, hard working American citizens in this land. And it would be a shame. Mr. CHAIRMAN if we allowed a few rotten apples to bring a bad name to the whole barrel. Because from the time of the great Christopher Columbus up through the time of Enrico Fermi right up to the present day -- Italian-Americans have been pioneers in building and defending our great nation. They are the soil o' the earth and one of the backbones of this country.

[GEARY walks off in applause. He poses for a picture.]

CHAIRMAN

I think we all agree with our esteemed college."

If I write that I agree with the sum and substance of what the Senator wrote, you'd probably also tell me I'm stereotyping.

How about you not miss the forests for the trees and get back to discussing CCME. Or are you just upset, possibly, that the CEO appealed the NASDAQ finding?
