So basically, you're saying it is a subjective thing. Those who want to see it as racism or as painting Obama as a terrorist will see it as that, and those that don't, won't.

No, I'm saying that one can often tell by the emphasis and repitition someone uses, whether or not it is used untowardly as a slur by culture/race.

Or they could just be making fun of the pretended 'offense' at his middle name being used.

I didn't use his middle name repeatedly before, but I do it now, simply because such a huge deal has been made about it. It's funny to see the looks on the Obama supporters faces.

I would remind you that pundits have used the middle names of both Clintons in a repetitious manner in the past, often for purposes of mocking them. Was that wrong?
