BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Republican Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign disavowed an introduction here yesterday that included Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein.
William Platt, chairman of the Lehigh County Republican Party, twice referred to "Barack Hussein Obama," which other supporters of McCain and running mate Sarah Palin have used to link the Democratic candidate with Muslims. Obama is not a Muslim.
McCain has disavowed the tactic, most recently when it was employed earlier this week.
"We do not condone this inappropriate rhetoric which distracts from the real questions of judgment, character and experience that voters will base their decisions on this November," campaign spokesman Paul Lindsay said in a prepared statement.

If Obama wins this election it will be America’s last election (except perhaps for some “show” election).
And you misunderstood my post.
The irony........Oliver Stone has just made a movie entitled “W” which has been Bush’s nickname for 8 years. But remember that he was originally given this nickname in order to make fun of his Southern accent and imply that he’s a hick.
Apparently, some folks think that what’s good for the goose ain’t so hot for the gander........
(By the by......only white folks are “hicks”, does that make this nickname racist?)
Would you people stop it!!! Their “we do not condone using Obama’s middle name of Hussein” is smart. IT MAKES SURE HIS MIDDLE NAME GETS OUT IN THE SPOTLIGHT! HEHE!
said he “Looked like Yosemite Sam after the dynamite failed to explode”>>>
Where do I send the bill for a new monitor? LMFAO
i'm sorry... ask Romney if the press disregarded his religion while he was on the campaign trail. considering he was asked about his mormon faith each and every time a camera was in his face... i'm guessing he won't be sympathetic to barry's predicament.
hey b.hussien obama... how about answering the questions about when and why you changed your name from barry to barak. what's with all the middle eastern types in your campaign? how did you get all these middle east connections?
Is there some way we could jettison McCain and let Palin take over? He’s nothing but a liability.
I'm here to complain about dems using John Sidney McCain inferring that he is a radical Australian.
OK Let’s not use his full name, we should call him Barak Hussein.
I’m serious when I say this...now would be a great time to have him hand it over to Mitt Romney...this way we would know we had a guy who had no problem calling someone out on global television.
Romney called McCain out all of the time. But this is what happens when you have next to zero southern states vote first in the primaries. We get stuck with blue state style voting.
We demand that everyone refrain from using the term “Bush” to refer to the current President. It is a derogatory term for the hair which covers female genitalia cooked up by the “Good Old Boys” network to demean and belittle. Every time that Name is uttered is an affront to all women, young and old. It’s time that the cycle of bigotry and gender-bias come to an end. We will not longer be reduced to pubic hair.
We demand that the President be referred to as George Walker Qutun, the Arabic equivalent. As we all agree there is nothing offensive in using Arabic translation. In fact, it’s good practice for our assimilation in the coming years.
Maybe because it is late, but the only place I actually see it is in the title.
“Here is my question...is he going to oppose the use of it on the general election ballot?”
In two states I know of, you can run under whatever name you like.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, William Jefferson Clinton, Richard Milhouse Nixon, George (Walker, W., Dubya) Bush...

But the FR doom-and-gloom drama queens will be crying about the sky falling as if it is some earth-shaking event. I think they enjoy it.
McCain was tougher on Republicans in the GOP Primary than he has been on Obama.
It’s disgusting.
