But I honestly don't get how the term "Scalito" is seen as a racist or ethnic insult, if it is describing his judicial philosophy. Seeing as how Penske has referred to Mrs. Clinton as "Hitlery" I don't know how many times, I think the criticism rings pretty hollow. Besides, if you're trying to be accurate (at least in your own deluded portrayal of her), "Hitlery" doesn't really work, does it? As I recall, I don't think Hitler was much a fan of leftists, was he?
Is "Scalia-lite" any less offensive/"racist" (or inaccurate).
I guess it's okay to throw those kind of barbs/bombs when it's not your guys who are the targets.
Frankly, I could do without the name-calling from both sides.

not racist (and as pointed out by T on FB, it would xenophobic, not racist). I'm sure sidd will agree with me that Ities aren't offended by it. The only possible crazed way to see it as racist is to assume that the term is only used becasue they are both Italian. In fact, it seems like it's more a philisophic thing.
