Ha! They pulled the exact same crap on me when I made sure to say the entire name for Barak HUSSEIN Obama......pretending as if saying the man’s actual name were an insult and therefore against the rules of the forum.
Barak HUSSEIN Obama,,,,,,Me, too.
That was a directive from the McCain Campaign HQ.
I was County Chairman at the time and one of McCain’s proxies (”a war hero”) repudiated me from the podium for saying Hussien in his introduction.
I stood up. Took the mic back. Said in this county we did not hide Obama’s full name.....and if he didn’t like it there was the door. The crowd roared.
He backpedaled, gave his speech about “John” and winced when every speaker said Barack Hussein Obama, emphasizing “Hussein”
McCain was a moral coward, an elitist and held us in contempt. His treatment and disparagement of Palin was horrendous.
