Racists at Think Progress ignorant of the Latin Languages
Trajan75 on July 10th, 2008
Think Progress is ignorant of Latin Languages. They bash Bush for Addressing the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Spanish. This is ignorance on the part of Think Progress. Italian and Spanish are related languages. They are close, so close that when I went to Italy 11 years ago I got around speaking Spanish. Bush used the Latin tongue he knew: Spanish and greeted another Latin speaker in a tongue that he would be familiar with. Silvio Berlusconi is fluent in Spanish (Castilian) and the words Amigo and Amico sound the same when spoken.
This was just an attempt by Think Progress to bash Bush by portraying him as ignorant; instead they make themselves look ignorant. Nice one Think Progress, I thought the Left wasn’t ignorant? Obviously they need to learn the history, culture and languages of Latins.
