21. Last night on the Ray Taliafero show, a rightie caller called him
"Osama Obama". We're starting to see just how racist this country is!

22. How about "Insane in the Membrane" McCain?
The inclusion of Cyprus Hill in this discussion seems to add a lot.

4. They also purposely mispronounce his first name.
I saw a panel show on Fox where most of the participants referred to Obama as "BEAR-rick Obama".

What do they feel is the advantage in saying his name wrong? Is it just because he's in the "Democrat" party?

5. How about Bob Dole?
Or, ask the average person on the street ... Ronald Reagan's middle name?

The W in Dubya?

8. Next time anyone watches Faux News they should be incarcerated.
This fake news channel should not even be taken seriously. It's like comedy central. Their viewership is so small is really doesn't matter. They are irrelevent.

11. Have you ever been around some Faux fans?
They have all the patter memorized and swap it back and forth like a fraternity handshake. I had to listen to a couple refer to Al Bore inventing the internet. It's pitiful really. Minds so dead and closed are bound to be easy pickings for Alzheimer's!

13. Morning test
If you can when the Today show is outside, watch how many people are lined up to be "seen".

Than switch to FUCKED News morning show with those retards includinfg Brian Killme and see how many Fox and Friends are outside their window.

14. On the other hand, Dems swooning over Obama makes me sick
I mean, the guy is GREEN and doesn't take a position on anything! He rides the fence so much, I wonder if the guy has any giblets.

Is this who we really want as President?

He has less experience than * had! (And recall our collective complaints about *'s "lightweightedness" in 2000)

Methinks we need to look for someone with MORE experience, not LESS.

17. All true. His other major problem is one that Kerry had.
He talks and talks and talks and talks, and when he's finished talking and talking and talking, you can't even remember what the question/topic was.

He might impress some people with this alleged eloquence, but there's not a lot of substance there.

16. McCain's middle name is Sidney, Reagan's was Wilson, Dole's is
Joseph, Bill Clinton's is Jefferson...

Lots of political junkies know the full names of the major politicians, and they are sometimes referred to with their full name, especially when running for President. I don't see the big deal.

19. The big deal is that the freepers are pointing out in a childish way...
that Barak Obama's middle name is Hussein, as in Saddam Hussein.

They are being a bunch of bigots, that's why they say his middle name.

18. If they're going to do it, better to do it now and innoculate everyone rather
than pulling this stupid shit later in an actual election.
