I am still trying to figure out that comment; if he has nothing against foreign doctors, how can a doctors name sound "too foreign"? Not that the comment follows from that alone; it also fits the general GOP candidate commitment to reconstructing the Berlin Wall on the Rio Grande and refusing to recognize social contracts between homosexuals also, to name just a few things off the top of my head.
I'm certainly not a fan of immigrant-bashing or political posturing about illegals (or of Herman Cain), but "Berlin Wall" is just stupid, and the additional leap from "Berlin Wall" to "Camp Concentration" is even more so.
And much as I support gay rights, when even in Europe the list of countries that consistently poll at or above 50% support for gay marriage is as short as it is, I don't exactly think one can draw big conclusions from a conservative's refusal to recognize social contracts between homosexuals. Hopefully in time American conservatives will come to see the inexorable logic behind David Cameron's evolution on the issue and follow suit, but I'm not holding my breath.
How is a Bigoted Ass clown still in the top 3 for the GOP nomination?

How is a reference to the Berlin Wall out of line when people are calling for a wall on the border?

Just because both contain the word "wall" doesn't mean they are the same thing.
