Why do a lot of you guys use the name "hussein" to reference Barrack Obama?
I've never really understood that.

A.) It's his middle name
B.) An effort to somehow paint him as an Arab or Muslim

Re: A Serious Question for Republicans
A lot of red-neck dumbfucks, Repugs (the party of racists), right-wingers, nativists, xenophobes, chauvinists, jingos, conservatives simply won't vote for HUSSEIN because he's too "foreign", too "risky", too "unknown", to un-American-ly named, and above all because he's too non-white.
NOT because of his policies or principles, which they completely ignore.
I use HUSSEIN to throw their bitgotry, ignorance, and bad faith back in their faces.

Yeah, it's just stupid. Not like they couldn't make a bigger dent refuting his policies, but todays world is a world of the one liner and insult comics (as boutons so reliably shows).

Barack prefers that people use his middle name to express pride and solidarity with his fallen half-brother Saddam Hussein.

For the same reason Liberals refer to Sen. John McCain as "McBush"; stupidity.

Re: A Serious Question for Republicans
Seems sort of narrow minded and almost racist to infer that the name "hussein" is some how a bad thing.
Almost comically stupid. But i guess never under estimate the redneck population in the country.

Re: A Serious Question for Republicans
His legal name is Barack Hussein Obama. If people hearing that are ashamed, who's fault is that? It is common to sometimes use a person's full name. Why should Obama be excluded?
We have all over time heard these presidents full name used:
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Lyndon Baines Johnson
Richard Milhous Nixon
Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr.
James Earl Carter Jr.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
George Herbert Walker Bush
William Jefferson Clinton
George Walker Bush

I've been following this election pretty closely, and I've never heard John McCain's full name a single time. I had to go to Wikipedia to look it up.

Re: A Serious Question for Republicans
Here are my questions for conservatives:
In Good Morning Vietnam did you think Robin Williams was the antagonist while the asshole sergeant was the protagonist?
If you didn't already feel like a dumbass for wanting to privatize social security, do you now?
It seems like there's an awful lot of your leaders who get busted having extra-marital, gay or pedophilic tendencies. It's not really a question, but that must suck for you- literally.
Do you find it frustrating that democrats get to gloat over the deficit sign being taken down under Clinton because he erased the deficit, while under Bush it came down because they had to add more digits?
How do you feel about being a party made up of dumb white trash with no morals and Christian conservatives with fake morals. I don't get how those two groups manage to reconcile their differences.
Doesn't it suck that you're going to lose this election and probably your ability to filibuster too? If our roles were reversed I'd feel pretty low about myself and my party too.
These are the questions I want answered.

Probably as bad as you feel being a part of the ignorant low income government dependent modern-day slaves (just gimmie yo vote) or the far-left liberal FREAKS who worship at the altar of Gore thinking the government is trying to actually do good when in reality they are pushing your agenda for completely different reasons. Then there are all the fake liberal celebs who have empty lives and no idea why they believe what they spew to the public...
Man, this shit is just too easy.

"If people hearing that are ashamed"
straw man. You're the first one to say ashamed, so you entire post is bullshit.
When right-wingers, such as yourself, use say HUSSEIN, it's clearly pejorative, to tie him to Saddam HUSSEIN, to Muslim terrorists, to everything foreign.

It's simple. All public figures get their names used in different variations. When they are respected, the form is used that is preferred. When not resopected, the form that causes grief is used.
It's so funny to see liberals get incited by the truth. This is one instance of that. I'm sorry if you guys are ashamed of his name. I'm sorry if he is ashamed of his name. As long as you let it get to you, it will be used.
You know what bothers me. Everyday, you hear people say "Mr. Bush." Like the man or not, that is disrecpctful for the media to say that. I get a bit mean myself at times, but notice, I almost always use the title when refering to president Clinton, president Carter, etc. even though I think of them as scum.

If you consider Jimmy Carter to be scum then get ready to rot in hell when you die. He may not have made the best president, but the man is an absolutely and genuinely decent human being.

I'll admit that scum is the wrong word for him. However, he is one of the worse leaders in history. So may problems started on his watch. He is a nice man, but absolutely spineless.

Uhhhh no, liberals are not ashamed of his name. A bit of projecting here??
We are just smart enough to realize that it's a weak ploy to try to link him to the Muslim faith and play on those fears with many voters. I honestly don't care what his name is, what color his skin is, what religion he practices, but I'm smart enough to realize that many people do care and won't vote for a person because of it. It's a cheap ploy and I know that you're smart enough to realize it. A bit dishonest but smart enough to see the underlying message. You're only lying to yourself if you think it's not some type of ploy to play and peoples fears against the Muslim faith in these times. You're a bit smarter than that.

I'm sorry, I'm just not one to be subdued by political correctness. It is his name. Yes, people respond to it. So what? You think it's going to make a difference? Seems to me that people are going to either vote for him or not. His saying "My Muslin Faith" is far more harmful than his name. We conservatives, loving this "melting pot" nation, know that a name is only a name.
Glad to know it can incite dumbshits. It fun at times. Keep it up if you and to be known as a dumshit.

Actually it's to get votes from the racists that seem to litter the Republican party. This is done to motivate the base, nothing more. And to be honest I have no idea what you are trying to say in that last sentence. Just ironic that you're using it to call somebody else a dumbshit.

Lol...what a reach you are making. I cant honestly believe that you believe any of your own BS.
I don't care for either candidate to be honest, but the deep seeded bigotry that the republican party seems to bring out in people definately helps me steer clear of that party.
I had this conversation with my grandfather just the other day. When the republicans can steer away from the relgious nuts, and moral crusaders...steer away from the bigots and racists, the democratic party probably would never stand a chance.

There are extremists on both sides, and I see more bogotry on the left than the right. Talk and action are two different things. I notice the poll of democrats not voting for Obama isn't released. Just watch, Obama's numbers in November will be less than the polls show, If he isn't up by 4 points or more before the election per state, expect McCain to win.
There are democrats I could vote for if they stopped supporting leftist extemeists.
