When does your middle name become an political attack line?

[TheCoxwain]

When it reflects darker truths about our society.

When we cross over from being 'fair and equal' to 'unfair and unequal'.

I sense the trepidation among democrats when Hussein is hurled out as an insult...Common people - It is a name that his parents lovingly gave him - How can we let the repukes get away with this...

It absolutely violates my sense of decency that there are so many openly bigoted people and politicians who openly exploit this bigotry...


Thanks for reading my rant

1. huh? Did someone just refer to him by his middle name?

Or are you worried they'll start to? Not quite sure what you're getting at.

11. Jeez. That's pathetic! (n/t)

2. Thank you for this and the other long line of concerns you've expressed on DU

:hi:

3. Thanks for that rant...

Bush and the RWers helped by acting as if all Muslims are the same, and all "the enemy."

[knixphan]

6. Let's 'out' them all.

[FloridaGrl]

7. Also why is muslim a bad word?

There are radicals and extremist in most religions.

[jenmito]

9. Because Bush talks and acts as if all Muslims are "evil-doers" which is why so many

people were for the invasion of Iraq-Saddam HUSSEIN, Osama bin Laden, same thing. That's what they'd have you think.

8. My middle name is the same as two kings of England

guess that makes me unAmerican and unpatriotic.

And my father's and grandfather's FIRST names are the same as the king of England who tried to keep the American colonies under English control. They must be unpatriotic too!

[Dr. Death]

10. How about John SIDNEY McCain?

His middle name is a major city in a foreign country, one that is populated by the descendants of criminals and home to terrorists such as Ned Kelly. How much more unAmerican can you get? Nice try spelling it differently, John, but you're not fooling us.

[treestar]

13. Doesn't McCain mean "son of Cain?"

You can see where I'm going with this. :rofl:

[11 Bravo]

12. When you have nothing else and are stuck supporting A FUCKING LOSER!

[Overseas]

14. John Sidney McCain III, with $520 loafers and too many homes to count,

wants Senator Obama's middle name to be an issue because more Americans know about Sadaam Hussein than about King Hussein of Jordan.

That, and the RNC slogan -- Country Club First
