I agree entirely. Ever since Republican politicians got control and abandoned principle, emotionalism is all they have had to rely on. Now it has infected the party from top to bottom. Emphasizing his middle name does absolutely nothing to hurt him. In fact, if anything his foreign sounding name is a draw. If it weren't, he'd be running as Barry Obama instead of Barack.
Seriously, this is like a half of a step above calling him "poopy-pants". It is driven by pure emotion, as there is no real point being made. Bill Cunningham himself has proven that he makes his political decisions based on emotion. His feelings got hurt, so now he won't support McCain. He can talk about principles all he wants, but the fact remains that a few days ago he was eager to boost McCain's campaign. McCain has been the same lousy bastard for quite some time now. The ONLY thing that has changed is that Bill got insulted, so he should stop acting as though he is principled.
Ok, but if his name were Barak Poopy-pants Obama, then calling by his silly middle name would still be calling him by his silly middle name.
If his middle name were PoopyPants then I'd be all for it. But come on! Hussein is his legal name.

Sad but true.
We should be attacking him on the issues. Instead, we have this childish nonsense. It plays right into his hands, making conservatives look like fools.
I guess it shouldn't surprise us. The GOP left its substantive issues in the dust a long time ago. But now's the time to reclaim them.
At least "poopy-pants" is funny, if scatological humor is your thing.

We need to get it through our skulls that what is good for a talk radio host/columnist/media personality is not necessarily good for conservatives. Bill Cunningham got himself splashed all over the news for this. But who can describe what (if anything) John McCain talked about after he handled this yesterday? I read the news and I can't do it. All of the discussion is about this. None of it is about what McCain said or was going to say until this came up.

We should all be so lucky as to be insulted in this way. Where can I sign up? There are 592 versions of this story on Google News right now. How many do you think there were for Bill Cunningham before this?
