Now, this is all in the past and isn't really significant to Daimler today, but if I were MB I would be very cautious about swatting this particular hornet's nest.

Would you give the same advise to Ford if they were in F1?]]>Apr 3rd 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/
Oh, yes. Certainly. There's some dispute over the breadth and depth of Ford's anti-Zionist sentiments in light of his being a fairly devout pacifist, but yes, there's a skeleton in that closet.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/

Not very. A commonly overlooked fact is that Arabs are Semites too. It's not their fault that many people mistakenly believe that only Jews are.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/
Even if you wish to argue technicalities and ignore modern linguistics, Bahrain's generally racist attitute also covers other Arabs and non-zionist Jews. What I stated, as a joke, still stands technically correct.

Sorry that offended the apologists.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/
But racist or anti-Semitic? Not really, no. He wasn't furthering the spread of hate, just indulging in a kink. Yes, it's disturbing and potentially offensive, but it's not, by the book, a hate crime. I think people need to learn to distinguish between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism (which a whole ugly can of worms that I do _not_ want to get into), as well as between anti-Semitism and simple historical allusion.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/Apr 3rd 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/Apr 3rd 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/Apr 3rd 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/Apr 3rd 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/
Every company and country has a past but it doesn't mean they can not denounce it now. Sorry, wearing a swastika, speaking German, and using the deaths of millions as the premise to your sexual pleasures is clearly outside acceptable behavior in modern society. To write it off as "private" behavior once discovered is morally and socially irresponsible. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/Apr 3rd 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/persona-non-grata-carmakers-attack-mosley-as-kinky-fia-prez-is/
