I just learned that McCain's middle name is Sidney.

I'll stick with Hussein.

Though, Obama is not MUSLIM now the lineage still works through him energetically. Those worlds and that particular practice can be rough and if "it" wants "its" deeds done. The Jinn will find a way

I have so many questions for you brendalou...

Do you remember why George HW Bush always referred to the leader of Iraq as Saddam? It was because he didn't want the barely informed American public to confuse him with our ally, King Hussein of Jordan.

And why do you believe being Muslim is necessarily bad? Muslims, Christians and Jews have all done horrific things in the name of their religions, and right now it's mostly Muslims who are doing so. A small, dangerous minority of them.

Are you a religious intolerant?

Do you know how to release your caps lock key and stop yelling?

Did you know that Hussein is a common name in certain parts of the world?

If his name was Joe McVeigh would you oppose him because he shares the name of a terrorist that struck against America?

Since radical Muslims are the largest threat to America, and there and many millions of Muslims who could be recruited to join them, does it not occur to you that it would be helpful to have a president of the US who could help sway the majority of Muslims to consider that America and the west are good and not their enemy?

Have you ever heard of the United Church of Christ, the church that Barack Hussein Obama is a long time member of?

Do you believe people of all religions have a place in America?

I could go on...

Is Obama going to increase welfare?
Is Obama going to cut our military
to pay for more welfare?
Is Obama going to increase taxes...and if you believe it's just on ONE class...what does that tell you. People are losing their homes because they bought homes on welfare.
If you don't work....don't expect the
USA to bail you out any more! But HE won't say that.
He recently said that if you are behind on your charge cards...he'll help you. If you can't pay for your home...he'll help you. Where is he getting this money???? What happened to people living within their means?
I'm sick of the welfare situation...
these people are the ones that are destroying our health insurances!
Look hard at Detroit and Atlanta people!

The two posts before this one are purely racist, yet the last post calls Oprah racist? How ironic. And sad.

Seriously folks, I'm amazed to see such ignorance as that shown by this blog poster and many of the people who agree with her here.

Please Wake up America,
Start talking to your seniors and your young voter’s educate them
On the importance of their vote and the conscience on casting the wrong vote
Just to be cool! Ask them not to vote a straight ticket, they should take their time and vote out the politicians that did not listen to us or help us in any way.
Explain the Grand Amnesty to him or her and that each person that is granted amnesty can legally bring in #270 family members a piece!
O’bama looks like a big bright shining light of hope and in sound but, when
He speaks of change, change of what? Obama speaks of hope, hope of what? He needs to explain himself in detail to become a Presidential nominee. He needs a Q&A debate!
You have to take a good look at his record, the books he wrote, what he has said, in one of his debates he said he helped co-write the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill and that he will give drivers license to illegals. Our young ones are great at surfing the web; challenge them to find info on the blogs or u-tube.
Tell them to look up illegal immigration and they will see the impact it has had on our country before they vote. The new saying for the new voter and our collage students is “Don’t tell Mama you’re voting for O’bama”
Tell them that our tax dollars paid for $700,000.00 anchor babies last year alone.
Explain to our love one’s that our Economy, Jobs, Housing, the war on terror and, our nation’s security is nearing the breaking Pointe, were in crisis mold. Were also in danger of becoming a one party system.
In addition, once that takes place no one in Washington will never listen to us again, our voice will be silenced, (Stonewalled) We need a two party system to keep congress on their toes (check and balance)
Inform them what the MSM has been doing and, that they are trying to silence talk radio.
We are in real trouble here; we have to move quickly before it is too late!
“This is not a personality contest” This is a vote for the next President of the United States of America.
It is not cool to ruin our country!

That's not good enough for me, actually. Throwing out vague, unsupported accusations of unsavory behavior doesn't serve any kind of truth.

We, as Americans, have the profound privilege of choosing our leaders: Each one of us has a voice in that decision. And, not to go all "Spiderman" here, but with power comes responsibility. As a voter, you should want to cast your vote based on known, proven truths instead of (possibly, probably) false rumors.

I'd feel the exact same way if the person in question were, say, a Republican. That's why I'm critical of (unproven, unproven, unproven) 9/11 conspiracy theories, even though, politically, I'm pleased with anything that weakens George W. Bush.

I believe that truth transcends our politics, but that politics should never, ever "transcend" truth.

Feel free to offer documentation of a "shady past" in this forum. Expect that vague and unsupported accusations -- no matter where they come from across the political spectrum -- will be challenged every time.

"he has too much of a shady past"

Elaborate, please.

"I'm not accusing Obama of being muslim - but I wouldn't vote for anyone with the name Hitler either. Would you? We do not know enough about the man is all I'm saying."

Brendalou is trying to have her cake and eat it, too. But it doesn't stand.

She wants to make a big deal about Obama's middle name, implying that it means something pernicious about him. But when people (correctly, I think) name what she's implying, she denies responsibility ... then embraces it again with the "Hitler" comment. It doesn't wash.

I'm not sure what more we need to know about Barack Obama, but his religion is one thing we're very clear about. Go down and read where I re-posted Ben's comments. Barack Hussein is not a Muslim. Barack Hussein is a Christian.

No, a candidate named "Hitler" probably couldn't win a vote in this country -- but given that we know nothing about the candidate or his/her positions aside from the name "Hitler," we can safely assume that the name has *nothing* to do with whether that candidate would be a good officeholder or not. In other words: It's all PR and no substance.

The same goes for Barack Obama and the kerfuffle about his middle name. The people who keep saying "Barack Hussein Obama" don't have anything real to offer except fear. We can do better than that.

it's funny how the title of the post is all lower case.

Hi brendalou:

I agree with kevinkind: Nobody cares about Hillary Clinton's middle name. And since Obama isn't Muslim.

My friend Ben has posted this before, and I think it's worth reposting:

*****************************

Please, let's put this preposterous rumor to a rest. Barack Obama is not a secret Muslim.

See here, here, here, and here.

I'm not a Barack Obama fan at all. But peddling these rumors and conspiracies does his opponents no honor. Stop it.
