The hilarious part of this board is there are far more anti-Obama threads...yet every poll conducted shows most posters will vote for him. Its that loud conservative minority stirring the pot
Well if you look at the OPs, it's usually the same 4 or so people posting all the random anti-Obama threads.
For the last eight years, you guys have called George W. Bush every derogatory, cruel, insulting thing you can think of.
Throughout this year's campaign, you have come up with all sorts of variations on John McCain's name which are designed to cast him in a negative light, i.e. "McSame," "McBush," "McPain," etc.
Yet if we call Barack Hussein Obama by his full LEGAL name that he was given at birth, you get offended, claim it's inappropriate to use his middle name, and call us racists or xenophobes.
Where's the logic?
sticks and stones, but names don't really bother me
How you can defend this man who is following in Bush's wake, I can't imagine. The names he is called are all deserved. As others have pointed out, Barack's middle name is usually only used as a highlight to make him a suspected Muslim. And being a Muslim isn't necessarily a bad thing - there are many peaceful, God-fearing Muslims around the world. However, for some reason, connecting Barack with being a Muslim brings out bigotry in a lot of people. If he were a Muslim, he would have no chance of running for office. Muslims should be just as free in their religion as Methodists, but that is a fight we haven't had yet in the U.S. We have had civil rights battles and got laws on the books - but changing peoples minds is a different thing. Racism is still alive and well in our country.

McCain is fair game
