Edumacated people in Philadelphia don't speak English themselves.

Geno should learn Italian, and demand his hearing be held in that language.

ha.."probable cause"...oooooohhhh ..sounds so authoritative.

What is it the City Of Philadelphia finds "discriminatory" about speaking English? Its our national language!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

"Human Relations Commission" is no different than any other entity out there that wants to sue someone. Their...ahem.."findings for probable cause", if thats the way they wanna put it, is a joke. Isn't it like saying "I have 'findings' for probable casue that my next door neighbor is on my property line, so I'll sue.

Unlike Canada, we don't need any freakin' "Human Relations Commission" in this country, becasue we have the U.S. Constitution. Where the hell did all these things pop up?? What are they, the local ACLU with different colored neckties?"

Hey, screw the first amendment - we're leftists and we'll do whatever we want peasant.

Now buy Nancy Pelosi a plane...

[FreedomCalls]

He should hire a lawyer to present his case in some obscure language like Navajo. When the chairman of the commission interrupts and orders him to "speak English" -- case closed. If he doesn't get interrupted with such an order, he should continue to stare straight at the chairman, ask qustions in Navajo, and make hand gestures like he is expecting an answer.

"A lot hinges on perception," said W. Nick Taliaferro, executive director of the (Human Relations) commission.

Ah yes. A mainstay of Liberal Democrat principle:

Perception.

Vento was hanging-tough in a TV interview today, saying he wasn't going to remove the sign and making an excellent case that if his customers didn't speak English they were likely to be unable to order exactly what they wanted from his stand and might well get something they didn't actually want - the government's taking in much too much tax money if they have funds to spend on foolish crusades like this........

Why not a sign saying. . .

' We only speak ENGLISH'. .

.ORDER here, por favor Please:

[Major_Risktaker]

The highly charged dispute over the speak-English sign at Geno's Steaks is about to heat up.

The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations notified Geno's owner Joey Vento, blablabla...

Yo Commissioner, We Speak English!
