No, but only for the same reason that, were your Iraqi/Iranian comparison not a joke, it also would have slid by. And that's because - to my knowledge, there are barely more republicans than middle-easterners posting here.
My guideline is not to be unoffensive to everyone on the planet, but to be unoffensive to the people who post on the LoT. Hence my reference to Disney-geek bashing being bad.
(Actually, mindful of the proportion that 3 or 4 republicans represent on a board of roughly 55 active members, I would likely have posted a caution about a republican-smearing as well).
