Fer crying out loud it IS his middle name. How can it possibly be disparaging??
Yep. The first time in our history that calling someone by their name is disparaging.
McCain is turning into a wimp. He’ll probably lose bigtime unless he can get tough. (I’m strongly leaning 3rd Party anyway).
Good point, Doug. (Anybody wanna explain the HUGE, BIG, GIGANTIC distinction between what happened here and what happened during a 2-hour car ride re: Huckabee & some reporter over a dozen-word phrase uttered during that ride?)
Once again. Let's see if we have any consistency from the Romneyites.
The second week of December, Huckabee issued a dozen-word question that was just as true about Romney's faith as Obama's middle name and we got an ensuing wildly rage-filled thread-after-thread reaction lasting 2+ months!
So, let's see if we can measure the consistency level (or lack of it) from the Romneyites: Since obviously the "Hussein" reference, albeit a true statement, could be construed by the overly religious sensitive types, to be some sort of "disparanging" remark connecting Obama with the Muslim faith...Let's see how "true blue" the "let's protect religious minorities" are...
Please note that since the Romneyites from the second week in December thru the second week of February were posting vociferous FReeper posts in the name of...
...Protecting "Religious liberty"...
...protecting "tolerance toward the religious beliefs of candidates"...
...erecting some magical wall between "religion" and "politics"...
...pretending to protect Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution from some alleged threat of eradication...
...protecting Mormonism from a fuller revelation of its more unflattering mainstream doctrine...
...Let's see how "true blue" they are to "religious liberty," "tolerance," "anti-bigotry," so-called Constitutional threats, and aberrant religious minority beliefs and linkages...
(Come on. Rise up. Time to wave all those SAME banners again on behalf of Obama! Go ahead, crucify the McCain campaign like you did Huckabee! Silence just might be mistaken for overt hypocrisy)
