You have no idea who that woman is or what she believes. She is to you a "piece of sub-human filth", a "ululating ... whore" and a "terror loving bee-yotch" because she is Palistinian, and for no other reason.
Fuck you, you racist piece of shit. You are not worthy of my contempt.

In fairness to Penske (now, that feels odd) the picture in question is a pretty well-known photo of certain Palestinians celebrating the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. Note that the fellow next to her in the picture is offering some type of bread/dip -- which I've read is a traditional food for celebrations.
Thus, while his statements were offensive and over-the-top, he did not call her those names merely because she is a Palestinian.
I don't like what I see in the picture, but am unwilling to classify as "sub-human filth" or "whores" all those who celebrate the deaths of people they do not know but perceive as enemies (even innocents). Too many Americans fall into that mode sometimes, but certainly Nut Penske.
