359. Because those who call him "Barry" now intend it the same way as those
who refer to him as Barack HUSSEIN Obama. They intend it to suggest that there is something untrustworthy about him. It's also like those who refer to the "Democrat" Party. The word "Democrat" is not in itself nasty, but in that context the intention is to insult. You should not be eager to adopt a right-wing meme.
