Well it looks as if the orgininal question has brought the RWNJs out in full force. Never miss a chance to whine and of-course post your usual rhetoric and propaganda. I almost feel sorry for them, almost.

Interested in how we know that this is a bogus claim and that the real motivation is racism?

Just think back to how many times you took delight in calling Clinton "William Jefferson Clinton", or Carter "James Earl Carter". It didn't happen, because there was no mileage to be gained in using a typically white middle name to refer to those two white presidents.
He knows that just using the tactic of deny deny deny. Maybe if they use stop stop stop things might get better.

you claim it's 'racist' but can't even being to explain why? do i have that right?

since you keep neglecting to respond when i ask why you are unable to answer any of the questions i posed previously, i'll anwer for you:

if you actually had to answer them, it would blow a gigantic gaping hole in your entire 'racism' premise.

that is why you will continue to ignore them

There is no hole in my arguement. I responded, you didn't like my answer, so you continue to say I haven't responded to the question. You won't except any answer other than for me to say its not racist.

Dont try to stop now. Use his full name like before. I meant to type are not ashamed of being racist. You can try and deny deny deny all you like. Until you stop stop stop it is seen for what it is.

serious questions:

1] if GWB's middle name had actually been Enos, Cletus, or BillyBob, do you honestly think his political opponents would haven't mentioned that now and then?

2] would that have been considered 'racist'?

i await your response with bated breath.

if you feel like cheating, you can click below.

Spoiler
1] of course they would have, at every opportunity. far more often than the right mentions the name 'hussein.'

2] of course not.

Being called racist is a badge of honor in the right/tea party world.

you responded, yeah, but you ignored the questions.
in case you've forgotten:

Quote:
did it ever occur to you that the middle names of those presidents was too boring to make note of?
Quote:
but for the sake of argument: how is implying that obama is muslim or not American 'racist'?
here's another: why was it ok to use BHO's full name at his swearing-in ceremony, but forbidden otherwise?

was justice roberts being 'racist' when he dared to use the h-word?
