Romney confuses "Sikh" with "sheikh"

[yves]

"I was in Chicago earlier today. We had a moment of silence in honor of the people who lost their lives at that sheikh temple. I noted that it was a tragedy for many, many reasons. Among them are the fact that people, the sheikh people are among the most peaceable and loving individuals you can imagine, as is their faith."

Seriously Romney? Seriously?

Even Barry at least takes five seconds to roughly find out the cultural nuances of who he's trying to talk to first before flapping his gums.

Though I suppose if he didn't misspeak earlier as the article implies, then he was just tired.

I still don't get how its easier to say shiekh than Sikh though

I don't feel the usual outrage.

It's a non-issue?

I don't want to sheik the tree, but maybe he's sikhing attention?

I agree with you, it's ridiculous that stuff like this gets reported but you started a thread just like this one when Obama accidentally said "Polish Death Camps" - http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...m-ceremony-Whi

I wasn't as sick of the petty BS then as I am now. On both sides.

LOL. This should be good.

lets speculate like we always do with barry, do you think romney made a Freudian slip? He somehow connects SHEIKS with SIKHS?

This definitely hurts his foreign policy credentials with india. blah blah blah.

Silly, now on to the next trivial matter...will Obama say Santa claus isn't real?, will Romney say Wisconsin is full of cheese eating **** heads?, will somone catch Obama on his knees looking for a contact lens while pointing towards Mecca and say it's proof he is a Mohammedan, Will Romney say he thinks Justified is crap....
