I'm Italian and my Dad worked for American Motors. It was Rmoney's Dad that handed AMC to the French. Gee, he has quite a lot to do with the French...

robme is making sure he offenses all equally,bill is toast,obama is half irish, bill knew that ,but he has a sense of humor,robme has offensed the chinese,indians,muslims, etc

Romney really screwed the pooch with an Italian government deal with Bain. I'm sure there that will always be a hate-hate relationship.

zOMG....the Italians!!!!

had running water and paved roads while his people were living in caves and fighting over the deer hide.

The people of the Mediterranean have ruled the world several times; made incredible contributions to science, art, and culture; and we base our country on THEIR (not the Saxons) system of government.

Elitist fuck pisses me off. E vero!

Wanted to see it but the link doesnt work from your cspan link above...

The time of the statement is now 14:25-14:55

60 Minutes segment back in the spring featured the CEO Sergio Marchionne and left a very positive impression of him. He has dual Canadian/Italian citizenship and has been very dedicated and hard working in turning around Chrysler. Romney is such a cynical dishonest person to denigrate Italian contribution to saving our auto industry. Takes a lot of nerve to say the things he says about China and Italy etc when he has been the outsourcer in chief with Bain and has invested so many of his millions in overseas tax havens. As Clinton has said, Romney is counting on enough Americans being dumb to get elected.

Like many Americans, I have Italian immigrant grandparents who worked hard contributing to their community and raising a large family who have chosen various careers in education, health care, industry, government and military service. Their positive influence continues carrying on to subsequent generations.

Hoarse voice and I imagine somewhat tired from an exhausting campaign speech schedule, but he's out there.

I am unworthy to be in such a person's presence.

Germans are white and Italians ethnic? lol
Italians,Germans,French,British,are not a race but an ethnicitiy. all europeans are part of the caucasian white

North italy is an alpine territory and north italians are part of the alpine/dinaric people, so they aren't mediterranean
South italy and southern italian are part of the mediterranean. italy is a divided country,climate,culture,history,cuisine, and genetic are different from north to south

North italy border with Austria,Switzerland,Slovenia and France. go in north italy "south tyrol, courmayeur,valle d'aosta,milan,turin,brescia,veneto and many other north italian part

90 % of what you call "italians" in america are from sicily, sicily is an island like hawaii and puerto rico in america that became of italy in 1861. sicilians and southern italians are way different from north italians

go to check on youtube this north italian people "federica fontana, lorella cuccarini, alessia marcuzzi, paola barale, antonella clerici, maddalena corvaglia

now check on yahoo "germans rediscover its roman roots" and "racial reality italians"

check also "Ben Franklin on "stupid,swarthy germans" in the past british americans made up many lies about who was white and who wasn't and they forgot that uk was part of the roman empire for 400 years and many british are descent from roman like the rest of europe

all europe were part of the roman empire, uk,germany,france,hollande,luxembourg,switzerland,austria, etc were part of the roman empire

italians anyway are the fourth largest european ancestry in america. robert de niro, paris hilton, bruce springsteen, nicolas cage, john travolta, leonardo di caprio, hulk hogan, are all descent from italians

seems like you've thought about this a lot... hmm maybe you shouldn't worry about whether people think Italians are white or not. Besides most people just confuse you with Latinos anyway. Heck the Italian flag even looks like the Mexican flag! Tancredo... hmmm sounds like a Hispanic name to me.

I'm not making factual claims about European "races." It's not the damn 19th century. I'm explaining what we as Italian-Americans experience at the hands of people like Mitt Romney, whose contempt for Italians was fairly clear.

Get a hold of yourself.

and I suspect Italian, Greeks, Armenian's among others all fall into the ecru category

... this racist stuff.
Down with Rommers!

Romney likes to invoke his visit with Lech Walesa, all the while never referring to labor unions or similar, and of course R. also has kind words for Israel, and sometimes for the U.K., more specifically Tony Blair. But he bad-mouths Europe every chance he gets.

He is tone deaf and doesn't care. He has never had to care. With all that money and privilege he has gotten his way without consequence or hardship. That's part of the contrast with Obama and his wife. Two totally different upbringings.
