Attacking Obama’s name is infantile and just plain stupid. I can’t believe that any conservative does this seriously. I guess as a joke its ok, but c’mon, its pitiful to think its good policy. Its an embarassment to the serious conservative movement.

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.
