NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. – “John McCain! Not Hussein!”
So goes the latest popular chant on the campaign trail with Gov. Sarah Palin, demonstrated at a morning rally in central Florida.
Ms. Palin was midway through her stump speech when a group of supporters began shouting it in unison, drowned out a few seconds later as Ms. Palin talked over them.
A similar chant, “Vote McCain, not Hussein,” was heard at a campaign event for Ms. Palin in Williamsport, Pa., earlier this week.
Senator Barack Obama’s middle name is Hussein, a fact that some of his opponents say proves that he is a Muslim. Mr. Obama is, in fact, a Christian.
After the rally in Florida ended, two of the people leading the chant explained why they did so.
“Because it rhymes,” said Shirley Mitten, 64, a volunteer at a pregnancy center and a resident of Brooksville, Fla.
She said she does not know if Mr. Obama is a Muslim. “He says he’s not, but we have no way of knowing,” Ms. Mitten said.
Her husband, John A. Mitten, 64, took credit for starting the chant. “I was trying to get it going!” he said. “I just do not want Obama to be elected.”
Mr. Mitten said he could not trust Mr. Obama because of his past association with William Ayers, the 1960’s radical, and because of his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. He also pointed out that Mr. Obama’s father was a Muslim.

Great photos! I guess that is what a drag on the ticket looks like, huh?
McCain/PALIN 2008!
Right, Hussein is the guy’s name, they have nothing to complain about. Even a shout, Vote a Hero, not a Zero is also literally correct.
Is that sarcasm? I hope.
SARAH is the best, I am going to help her be elected POTUS in 2012.
Did Obama’s parents get him circumcised?
I know that Muslims circumcise at a later age than Jews...
There you go, you can call me Racist
His adoptive name was Barry Soetoro, but I'm under the impression that he willingly had his name legally changed back to Barack Hussein Obama. If people can't repeat his middle name without being labeled a racist, then I guess I'm a racist...and proud of it.
Vote Palin not Lenin!
Not "mulva".
Let's fact-check the NYT:
1) "Senator Barack Obama’s middle name is Hussein" - True, but Team Obama has forbidden the MSM to mention his middle name.
2) "a fact that some of his opponents say proves that he is a Muslim" - False.
3) "Mr. Obama is, in fact, a Christian." - False. Obama's 'testimony' denies the exclusive salvation power of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Instead, Obama claims that all religions are equal and equally good. Therefore, by his own confession, Obama is not a Christian.
Just out of curiosity has the NY Times condemned the hanging of Palin in efigy in pro-aids west hollywood? Yeah I didn’t think so.
Trig’s Momma, not Obama!
Don’t you just love how this gets the NYT’s shorts in a wad!?!
Not that I would like to know, but the "One" and I are about the same age and when you where born in the USA back then it was pretty much universally done for hygienic reasons rather than religions reasons. If the "One" is uncut, he probably was born in Kenya
Maybe if the "One" medical records were released we would know.
Because, though Americans are slower on the uptake than people in Islamic nations WRT such things, Americans started to catch on, and he just couldn't allow that.
Excellent point.
Good one!
Wait:
John McCain and Sarah Palin, not Barak Hussein and Vladimir Lenin.
I am glad to hear this, I am going to freep biden tomorrow, if I can get some company this will be GOOD!
Any time you can piss off the Old York Times is time well spent. Very clever chant!
Pray for W, Saracuda and Our Freedom Fighters
Well of COURSE they were, in their own twisted, 1960s way:
How else would you explain his mother "marrying" first one foreign-born black, and then another?
And but for racism, would his father have married a psychotic white woman???
I'd find it hard to believe that they were soul-mates...
I guess this is another racist chant to be blamed on Sarah and John. The news media is so obvious, I don't know why anyone would believe anything they say, but of course many dumb a**es do.
