One sided news networks...

You guys do realize the Fox news is owned by Rupert Murdoch (through News Corp) and Murdoch has backed Obama, right? His daughter even does fund raisers for him!

At least Fox News has opposing opinions and brings on a LOT of Democrats on to their shows. I was watching CNN host their show from Denver and the entire cast were former Clinton advisers or huge Obama fans. They were gushing over Obama like a groupie. I doubt you will see Fox News faint when McCain walks into the room. :)

No it does not mean something is wrong with the name it means there is something wrong with the individual getting scared.

And in that case, there is nothing wrong with calling Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama...it's his name...

I never said there was but I can see how misguided individuals would be swayed because they fail to do their own reading and research.

That makes this issue no different than most political issues. Most people don't understand the whole of it.

I'm not at all obsessed. I disagree with his policies just as much as if his middle name were Howard. I just hate when people say it's not fair to say a guy's name. That makes no sense. It's his freaking name.

Hussein.
Hussein.
Hussein.
Hussein.
Hussein.
Hussein.
Hussein.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....if his middle name were Howard, you surely wouldn't be referring to him by his full name

Also, I'm not saying it's not fair...I just think it's funny

We can only speculate as to the truthfulness of that comment since his name is most definitely not Howard.

It is, in fact, Hussein. (OMG MAYBE HE'S LIKE SADDAM HUSSEIN OR SOMETHING!!!)

[RedGoneWILD]

HAHA...Saddam & Barack are first cousins....on his dad's side right?

Actually we know the truth...How many times have you heard John McCain's middle name used? Or John Edwards? Or Hillary Clinton (Rodham is her maiden name, not middle)? Or Al Gore? Or Fred Thompson? Or Mitt Romney? If it's so common place to use middle names, why are their middle names never used? Yes, it is just his name and there's nothing wrong with saying someone's name. But if you are only saying one person's middle name and it just happens to be the candidate who many people incorrectly speculate is a Muslim and whose middle name just happens to be Hussein...I don't know how it could be any more obvious. Man, I'm against Obama just as much as you are, but that's pretty blatant...don't be naive.

No it does not mean something is wrong with the name it means there is something wrong with the individual getting scared.

That is exactly correct. And there's something wrong with news channels playing on those unfounded fears.
