Republicans decry use of 'Hussein' in Obama's name (Wimpy GOP determined to lose)

[Nonstatist]

McCain just wants to run a clean campaign on the issues, where his record is stronger than Obama’s.

Actually, he wants the base to stay home so he can fight for the "moderate" vote with Barry Hussein and maybe pick off a few Democraps along the way.

[uncbob]

Keep decrying etc etc and when the MSM reports it etc etc

It will insure that many more people find out

[RFEngineer]

“Would Barack H*ssein Obama be acceptable?”

Or...

Barack “I’m not a terrorist” Obama

Barack “Not Saddam” Obama

Barack “H_______n” Obama

.....the possibilities are humorously endless.

[Nervous Tick]

>> McCain just wants to run a clean campaign on the issues

OK. We’ll see if he has the brains, balls and organization to meet Hussein forcefully, on the issues... or if he rolls over and exposes his soft underbelly at every “news cycle”, huddling with his PC consultants before his every move. So far, that’s what I’m seeing.

You probably think I’m gratuitously ripping on him, but I’m dead serious. I DO NOT want President Obama... but unless and until John McCain proves himself worthy of the nomination, support for him is NOT on “auto”.

I’m a conservative. Impress me, John. You have about two months. (Yes, there’s eight months until the election... but John, you need the money and buzz tap turned on well before that if you really want the job.)

No one is trying to win by using his middle name, his middle name is what it is and the GOP doesn’t need to be chastising anyone else for using it. A lot of Conservatives have questions about his middle name and the fact he wears a turban so well.

[dandiegirl]

BTW, this little anti-semite needs to be hit from all sides, including his middle name, his true commitment to Christianity and his previous drug use

I’m worried that MCcain is going to call these investigations “smear tactics”. We already have had a good dose of what’s not going to come out of the McCain camp. I don’t think he wants to offend his buddies in the democrat party.

[unspun]

There is plenty of evil to point out, in Barak Obama.

One needn’t dance on the line of racism.

[Nervous Tick]

>> McCain’s people and the GOP should have done all this quietly and behind the scenes.

Yes. THAT’S the point.

[RushLake]

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Lyndon Baines Johnson

Common means of designating those individuals. But you better not use Osama's middle name, refer to him as a liberal, or question his non-flag waving brand of patriotism. That wouldn't be right.

[tobyhill]

“Hussein” racism? His name is what it is.

[Sloth]

Is “Hussein” a race?

[democratsaremyenemy]

I am so sick of these wimpy Republicans ALWAYS apologizing to the Democrats ( their ‘’friends’’ across the aisle )
John ....these people are NOT our friends....

Wouldn’t it be great if we would have a candidate that would really go after the Socialist, Marxist Left-wing Democrat candidates who want to destroy OUR Country?

....This is a war John, a war for the future of OUR country....

I’m so damn sick and tired of people like McCain playing kissy face with our ENEMY...

McCain nees to hire Bob Dole to stir up the crowds!
And Kemp could always come out afterwards to apologize if Dole got too rough with the Dems

Now it’s politically incorrect to use a person’s middle name?

[Lancey Howard]

Meanwhile, that scumbag Barack Hussein Obama will continue to litter his speeches with subtle references to "old". The inference is clear and the tactic is no surprise at all. Politics is a bloodsport with no rules and no mercy. The sissy Republicans, as usual, are running scared.

The GOP gets sand kicked in its face by the bully on the beach and then, instead of taking the Charles Atlas course and getting stronger, apologizes. And so, my checkbook remains closed and unopened mailings from the RNC continue to fill up my trash can.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

McCain is socialist lite thats why he wont fight he would be hurting his own !

[Bigun]

Is “Hussein” a race?

That is a DAMNED good question!

[Oldhunk]

That’s fine, but I just think that from a political standpoint, their response is best.

[unspun]

Is “Hussein” a race?

No, but making a big point of it in this case is pretty much racism -- trying to get people to think negatively about him by the racial and cultural heritage he was born of.

McCain has had frontpage coverage for two days in a row for his attacks on Obama's willingness to leave Iraq to Al Qaeda.

Did you miss it?

[I_like_good_things_too]

What’s funniest about this is that the more they mention the “controversy”, the more people hear the name Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

[AmericanInTokyo]

CONSERVATIVES!

DO....NOT.....SEND....ANY!.....MONEY.....TO....THE....NATIONAL.....REPUBLICAN....PARTY....IN.....WASHINGTON.

Donate ONLY to local GOP or Conservative Third Party candidates whom are both conservative, and have your personal knowledge and trust to stay the course if they get elected. Then, tell the RNC THIS is where your money is going to go.

They will get the message.

Wusses.
