I had a roomate from Sicily who looked for all the world like he was from the Middle East. One night while walking home from work, a few teenage boys decided to lob a big rock at his head before they took off yelling "F*kcing Arab" (right after Iran started). These were kids who will probably never join the KKK or any overtly racist group, but they sure were loaded with hate and ready to patriotically engage in personal violence against the 'wrong people'. This is the very quality dubya seeks to nuture. It's a fine line between this and racism.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

Care to elaborate? Perhaps a specific example would suffice. I fail to see how some punk kid's ignorance can in any way be attributed to Bush. If anything, Bush has taken great strides to NOT point out the true identity of the Islamo Fascist, so as to not step on too many toes. 'Evil doers', he says, HA! I've heard Tony Blair make brilliant remarks as to just who the real monsters are, where they're from , what they're being taught, and why they're such a danger. W has far too much worry from the P.C. Nazis to dare call the Islamo terrorist out for who they are.

Rue didn't say that Bush caused this, only that Bush is aiming at nuturing this "quality." If I'm getting my assumed timeframe proper, I believe that this happened pre-Bush (right Rue?).
Perhaps you should re-read the post with a "trying to understand" mentality, instead of a "tying to find something to attack" mentality.
Oh yes, rasism == stupid.
