How I counter Obama's middle name

[greenbriar]

If Hussein is a band name so should Lee, Timothy and JOhn just to name a few.



People hate the name Hussein because of Saddam and what he was


well then shouldn't JOhn (John Wilkes Booth)
Lee (Lee Harvey Oswald)
Timothy (Timothy McVeih)


also be horrible names to have???



That is what I tell anyone complaining of Obama's middle name

[galadrium]

1. I tell people...

I don't care what his middle name is, if it was Barack Hitler Obama i'd still vote for him.

2. I tell them...

the only thing Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden have in common is that their names rhyme. That's it.

If someone brings up his middle name, I remind them that Hussein is a very common name in many parts of the world - it's as common as being named Steve.

[SKKY]

3. I don't care either...

His last name isn't Bush- that's all that matters. His name could be Fatty McCrackerhater and I wouldn't care. Well, a little. I mean, "Ladies and Gentlemen. Please welcome President McCrackerhater!" That would be kinda funny.

4. King Hussein of Jordan

was one of the only "good" mid east leaders and a staunch ally of the USA.

5. Ask people if they have a problem since his name isn't Anglo-Saxon?

That puts others in a weird position because then they're admitting their own bias and xenophobia. He has an African/Arabic name...and people like to attack him and mock him because of it.

7. That's a good one!

My husband has taken to calling everybody by their full names and making their middle name Hussein.

So we've got wolf hussein blitzer, Keith Hussein Olbermann, Barbara Hussein Boxer, Peewee Hussein Herman, Stephen Hussein Combert, Star Hussein Trek, and so forth...

8. Jesus Hussein Christ

Jesus H Christ


works for me

[Cha]

10. I always wondered what the H

stood for. :)

[calimary]

14. ROFL!

[cynatnite]

6. I never make an attempt to counter it because anyone who...

attempts to use it gets a laugh out of me. I laugh at them and tell them how idiotic they sound and how shallow they are for doing it.

9. Prescott Bush helped Hitler and tried to over-throw the U.S. Government.

Yet, George W. Bush's family keeps naming children after him.

11. Hussein means Handsome. WTF is so scary about that?

[Jed Dilligan]

12. Hussein is a band name?

They sound good--metal with Middle Eastern influences.

13. I usually just mention Gaydolf Titler

15. Funny. I Just Say "Who Gives A Shit What His Name Is You Bigoted Fuck".
