Back to Barack for a bit, this story shows again how the loony right is shooting itself in the foot with every attempted smear:
Quote:

At Cincinnati, [talk radio host] Bill Cunningham, according to the LAT, "introduced presidential candidate John McCain at a rally here today accused Barack Obama of sympathizing with 'world leaders who want to kill us' and invoked Obama's middle name -- three times calling him 'Barack Hussein Obama.' " John McCain repudiated Cunningham's low tactics and said that using the middle name like that three times was "inappropriate" and would never happen again at one of his rallies.

Rather an obvious thing to point out, that Middle Eastern/Semitic/Arabic names are all over the place. Therefore if you want to smear Obama and you try and suggest that it's UnAmerican to have one, you're smearing quite a lot of key historic figures, like Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin.
