Using name now Disparaging

Now wrong to use someone's whole name.

CINCINNATI — Senator John McCain apologized Tuesday after a conservative radio host who helped introduce him before a rally used Senator Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, three times, while disparaging him.


What he did…

Mr. Cunningham lambasted the national news media, drawing cheers from the audience, as being soft in their coverage of Mr. Obama compared to the Republican presidential candidates, declaring they should “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama.”
He went on to say, “At one point, the media will quit taking sides in this thing and start covering Barack Hussein Obama.”


McCains response. At first it looks like he is just being a nice guy and not going to stoop to dirty “name calling”

It’s my understanding,” he said, “that before I came in here a person who was on the program before I spoke made some disparaging remarks about my two colleagues in the Senate, Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. I have repeatedly stated my respect for Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, that I will treat them with respect. I will call them Senator. We will have a respectful debate, as I have said on hundreds of occasions. I regret any comments that may have been made about these two individuals who are honorable Americans.”


But then he caves to PC pressure…

He also said that it was not appropriate to invoke Mr. Obama’s middle name.


Not appropriate?!? It's his freakin NAME! Now, I will concede that the reason alot of these politicos are using his middle name is to get anti-muslims and racists riled up against Obama,not that Obama has been forthcoming about his name though.His camp knows that it could hurt him by people knowing his middle name is Hussien. It's stupid, and racist to judge someone by their name (unless it is Asshat McScrewyouover), but people will do that, it's just the world we currently live in. But to sit there and write that the use of someone's full name is wrong and makes you a mean person, that is the epitome of stupidity.

Nothing is going to change in this country until we stop listening to professional politicians and start hanging them.

Does this now mean that every mom in the US is going to get in trouble when they are chastizing their children in public?
