Republicans decry use of 'Hussein' in Obama's name - CNN.com
in part:
Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan formally denounced on Thursday the Tennessee Republican Party's use of Barack Obama's full name in a recent news release questioning the Illinois senator's commitment to Israel.
....
On Wednesday night, the party removed both the photo and the reference of "Hussein" from the statement after Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander called to express his belief that using them had become a distraction, Tennessee GOP Communications Director Bill Hobbs said.
...
Hobbs said Thursday that the party will no longer use Obama's middle name in news releases.
"We're not going to be using the middle name now, because apparently, it's become a distraction," he said. "But I would note, not too long ago, I saw a wire story out of the Middle East that talked about how a lot of people there are hungry for Obama to win and, in part, because his middle name gives him a connection, and that story used his middle name, so we're not the first people to notice and use his middle name."
...
"The left always finds something to pick at other than to describe the issues; we're not surprised at all."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OK so it is true his middle name is hussein. The extreme right is drumming up "husein" to play on American's anti-muslim/anti-arab sentiment.. one conservative radio host uses it everytime he mentions Obama (or so I read.. I dont' listen to radio period). I think most conservatives now see it as more likely the biracial senator will go against mccain rather than mccain vs "the bitch" as one voter said to mccain.
How is the left responsible? It was their own party saying you've been bad boys, stop it. but it is politics everything wrong IS the other's fault... or so they like to say...
2 other points...
who uses 3 names? first middle last... not counting the married women who do the hyphen last name..
killers, prisoners, and mmmmm who else? (bobbi jo, betsy lou, jim bob we are too familiar with) but like Micheal Mark Mathews (made up that one)
among the list of notable people always mentioned in first,middle,last names
John Wilkes Booth
John Wayne Gacy
[SIZE=-1]Mark David Chapman[/SIZE]
Lee Harvey Oswald
lastly
Without looking it up, what are the middles names of Senators Clinton and Cain? who cares... it's politics everyone plays dirty, and there isn't ever a bath
MickeyMouse, DonaldDuck, BugsBunny, NoneOfTheAbove (Nevada) how comes those "people" can't run
I know one of them would, and win.
