Tennessee GOP Pulls ‘Hussein,’ Obama Photo From Fiery ‘Anti-Semite’ Release

Fox ^ | 2/28/08

I’d be glad that all this “Hussein” talk is occurring now as opposed to this fall.

Hussein my go away in the media, but it will not go away in the minds of the voters.

[Condor51]

Simply wunnerful! (sic)

McCain, the RNC and the GOP in general are going by the Marquis of Queensbury Rules while the Democrats are fighting like Lenin's Bolsheviks overthrowing the Czar.

Yep, that's a winning strategy for sure.

I don't call him McInsane for nothing - he's certifiably nutz, 'My friend'.

I’ll keep an eye out for the update to Rush’s site later today to see if I can find it.

[OldSmaj]

The issue is that we'd not consider that fair...

Bull excrement. Then he should change his name or not get into politics. Fair or unfair doesn't enter into whether or not someone has the "PC" name for gaining or losing votes.

...so we shouldn't do the same thing with Obama.

"Shouldn't" is for nice folks. Nice folks finish last. I'll call him Barack Hussein Obama till I'm blue or I die, whichever comes first and I won't stop it just because it might not be "fair".

It's his damn name, ain't it? His father saw fit to give it to him, I see fit to call him that.

Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama.

RNC and John McCain be damned.

[JennysCool]

If we can’t say Barack’s middle name, then in the interest of fairness, “Rodham” needs to go, too.

[Salamander]

Gary Hartpence = Gary Hart.

‘Political expediency’ name change precedent set.

[TNCMAXQ]

Why is he embarrassed by that middle name? Don’t some polls show a good portion of Democrats think Saddam was less evil than Bush? I would think Obama would do himself some good linking himself with Saddam on some level. Too many Americans are brainwashed into believing the Iraqi butcher was a good guy who happened to be a victim of evil American/Bush imperialism.

Enough sarcasm for now.

They are certainly doing everything to guarantee an Obama win. McCain is a hack pol going through the motions. It’s nothing more than the meaningless tripe that transpires in the Senate, where these frauds all need chiropractors from patting each other on the back with their phony collegiality.

[Publius6961]

Did anyone manage to snag the web page before it was removed?

[Publius6961]

What about his first name? Barack (Buraq) is Mohammed’s Horse.

That has a nice ring to it...
South end of mohamed's horse Obama...

[isrul]

McCain is there now. Anyone supporting this RAT lite fraud has got to be out of their freakin’ mind with fear of the bogeyman which McCain obviously admires as one of his “good friends”.

[isrul]

McCain obviously doesn’t agree with you. And he would repudiate you for saying such a thing. Then he would apologize to his honorable good friend Obama for your unacceptable words.

[isrul]

Donating to them actually equates to donating to Obama. They are doing what they can to pt him in office.

[Lancey Howard]

As far as the GOP is concerned, my checkbook remains closed.
I can’t take the gutlessness.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The Tennessee Republican Party has toned down a fiery press release that included a controversial photo of Barack Obama and blasted the candidate on his stance on Israel.

Ah yes! We at Free Republic doing the job politicians won’t do....

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Political correctness truly continues to make all things even worse all over the place, including from within the Republican Party!

Who Pushed Hussein Angle First?

RUSH: ..."Wasn't it Mrs. Clinton who had to fire a couple people from her staff in Iowa who were sending out e-mails referring to Obama as a Muslim? I don't know any Republican doing that. I do not know any talk show host referring to Barack Obama as a Muslim. All these things that you're wringing your hands over, getting all worked into a tizzy over started in the Democrat primary campaign. By the way, we were right in there chastising them I think more so than you guys in the Drive-By Media were."

This is my worry:
Due to fear of being politically incorrect, Rush is using his power to prevent conservatives from speaking of the possibility that Obama is a Moslem within inches of becoming President. What if he is?

[Miss Didi]

But Rush also went on to say:

RUSH:…By the way, hey, Chris, who was it that released that picture of Obama in the Ayman al-Zawahiri garb? Chris, I think it was the Clinton campaign who put that picture out, was it not? And who first really made a big deal of Obama's middle name? Was it not Senator Bob Kerrey, a Democrat from Nebraska? And who, I might add, was it that ran around and talked about him selling drugs, and maybe being a coke dealer, could that have been Bill Shaheen, another Democrat in New Hampshire? And who was it, Chris, who started playing the race card? What of Bob Johnson, the guy from BET, what did he say?

Donna, I think it's best if Rush sticks with the issues on Barry, especially regarding the WOT. I also think that all this hoopla over the native garb, his middle name, etc. is just drawing more attention to it. Why doesn't the guy come out and say--yes, that is my name, my heritage, my family and I am proud of it. Instead, everyone has to tiptoe around him acting all PC? This will not sit well with the folks...fear not. ;)

Because Islam is going to take over the White House because Rush and everyone else won’t let us take it seriously?
