HUSSEIN HUSSEIN HUSSEIN!!

[panader0]

So what? My middle name is Eugene. So What? Doesn't Hussein mean "shining star" or something like that? OMG!! Isn't it the same name as that bad guy from Iraq? You know, the one who bombed the twin towers with weapons of mass destruction?? I say, get it out in the open, shout it out, maybe then it won't be an issue.

[Cant trust em]

1. Hussein? I think you mean "He who must not be named"

[shraby]

2. Trouble is, Saddam Hussein from Iraq didn't have

anything to do with the twin towers. That was Osama bin Laden from Afghanistan, who moved to Pakistan when we invaded Afghanistan.

8. Uh, yeah, I was being sarcastic

[shraby]

11. I thought you might be, but I wanted to clarify it

for any freepers that might be snooping around.

3. Honest to god it's as common a name as William or Robert in the anglo world.

A guy named John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer.

6. I read that Barack meant "blessed", Hussein meant "handsome one"--

So Blessed Handsome One is a pretty cool name.

7. Plenty of voters will react badly to that. Consciously or unconsciously.

Let's not pretend that reason has anything to do with it. It's simply an issue that Obama's campaign will have to grapple with. They sure as hell aren't going to make it go away.

10. I agree. That's why this card is being played against Obama

Maybe if it cones out more into the light, people will learn. If it's not going away, turn it around. Why not be proud of your name?
Unless it's Fudpucker or Huckabee or something like that.

9. I'm personally more afraid of anyone with Lee as their middle name

Just something I picked up watching too many hours of American Justice. ;-)

12. forget it

anyone who uses his freaking middle name as a reason to vote against him is a hopeless idiot who would vote for roadkill if it had an "R" on it.

just ignore that blather and pay attention to something important.

13. My friend at the auto parts store is named Osama.

It's printed in huge black letters on his name tag. He said some people can't even look him in the eye when ordering parts. I feel so sorry for him.
