Political correctness has now been injected into the mix when referring to Democrat presidential candidates by name. It is no longer politically correct to use the candidate’s middle name! Right-wing Cincinnati radio host Bill Cunningham is getting beaten up because he referred to Senator Barack Hussein Obama as just that, Barack Hussein Obama. Yep, he had the audacity to use Obama’s middle name, Hussein! That is the crime Cunningham committed… he used Barack’s middle name! Cunningham used the name, Hussein, when introducing McCain. Johnny immediately denounced the use of the middle name!

Oh, the horror of it all. He should lose his show for using Obama’s middle name!

How frigging politically correct can this nation be? What the heck ever happened to common sense? I guess that Barack and the rest of the Democrats don’t like his middle name being Hussein. Maybe Barack should change it to Al or Jesse or add Reverend to the beginning!

What a bunch of BS…

It all comes down to motivation!

Funny, he didn't refer to the guy he was introducing as "John Sidney McCain III"



Some people don't hear too well, and they think his middle name is "Sissy"



...gjd

I'm getting a flashback here....



Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. is a character created by comedian Bill Saluga. His schtick is to become annoyed when addressed as "Mr. Johnson", exclaiming in a loud voice, "You can call me RAY; or you can call me JAY", and so on listing other names he could be called, until finally finishing, "but you doesn't hafta call me JOHNSON!"

He was a funny guy. A one horse pony, but a funny guy!"

So?

It comes down to motivation, or at least PERCEIVED motivation! And, of course, the politically correct Nazi party sees an evil motivation in using a man’s middle name. That might be because those PC Nazis are disclosing their own prejudice! That is my bet!!

ahhhh, is there another Obama running in this race? otherwise why use the middle name at all.....and when was the last time that any candidate or president for that matter was introduced with anything more then their middle initial....not their full middle name. face it dis, as a right wing announcer (you said it yourself), the guy used his middle name not as tribute but rather a slur.....i guess you'd be alright if he just referres to him as the black candidate......it's not a politcally correct issue so stop beating your drum.

.....so mccain is a PC nazi for denouncing the use of the name??? I think mccain knew quite well what the guys motivation was and nipped it in the butt

....me thinks that he was playing on prejudices of his own party, to rile the crowd....

I have this unsubstantiatable (if that's a word!) feeling that McCain knew about it beforehand. The intended slur was made, and John Sidney McCain III could disown it, while still publicizing it. Damn! I thought only the Bushes and the Clintons were that Machiavellian. . .

Where's Willie Horton when you need him?

While I agree that using Obama's middle name to "scare" voters is lame, the expression you wanted to use is "nipped it in the BUD".

Seriously Dis..lol. I know you're smart enough to see through that.

Sac, I believe I gave a full disclosure when I described Cunningham as a right-wing radio host. I am neither hiding anything nor spinning the situation. I simply find it humorous that the politically correct folks are so bigoted that they attacked Cunningham for using Barack’s middle name. Politicians never use three names? How about Hillary Rodham Clinton?

McCain admitted that he didn’t hear the introduction but apologized for it and denounced it based upon what an aid told him.

Dick, I bet you are under the impression that the Republicans brought up old Willie. But it was (I believe) Al Gore that brought Willie’s name to the media.

DJ, see through what? I have no biases against the name Hussein, so to me it never really mattered. But then again, I am not a PC Nazi. I still have that commodity called common sense! This is not a big deal but I bet Cunningham will ultimately be suspended for using Barack’s middle name. Time will tell.

I think that this situation has brought the bigotry and biases of the left to the surface. They fear Barack’s middle name! They are showing their stripes… and they appear to be yellow.

first, i believe rodham is her maiden name not her middle name (her middle name is diane)....and she may use it hyphenated

second i find it very ironic that you call the dem. party "nazis"....since in not the far past it was the GOP that started screaming (in a pc way) at the dems demanding an appology for being labelled nazis....

DJ; I'm a far right wing conservative (a sad day indeed with the passing of one of my mentors, William Buckley Jr.) and I like Cunningham, but I believe that one reference to Obama's name would have gotten the point across, but 15 was way over the top. It's funny though because in 92 The Democrats were calling Bush 41 George Herbert Walker Bush, implying that he was born into privelege, and no one raised an eyebrow. Double standard indeed, however I disagree with you on this one.

Brian

B-Rocks minister has some pretty racy views.

Sac, re-read my post and I never mentioned Hillary’s middle name. I wrote, and I’ll quote here so I don’t need to type it again, “Politicians never use three names? How about Hillary Rodham Clinton?” So, you missed that by a bit but I do understand the meaning of your post.

I am not calling the Democrats Nazis. If I were, I would have voted for all Nazis in the primary here in Massachusetts. However, I am calling those that are playing the PC card and thereby showing their own biases Nazis. I believe that those that play the PC card in order to curb our freedom of speech, the term Nazi is accurate. These folks want to suspend my freedom of speech whenever I say something they don’t like. Yep, to me, Nazi fits pretty well.

Brian, and in the past two elections, the Democrats were calling our current president ‘W’. And they pronounced it so as to be an insult! But use Barack’s middle name and suddenly the Nazis come a running and forcing everyone back in line! Face it, they live by double standards. Otherwise, they would not have authorized attack Dubya to be in their platform!

Why can Democrats abuse the term Dubya while the right can’t even use Barack’s REAL middle name? Double standard, eh?

Cmon, you know exactly why he was using his middle name, Hussein. The same reason Coulter calls him B. Hussein Obama.

It's a subliminal message to all the Bush lickers, armchair warriors, and ignorant people to say "See, he is a terrorist. Look at his name."

Give me a break.

I don't understand the uproar here. So, some right wing loudmouth used Obama's middle name over and over and over and over...you get the point. WHO CARES? After all, the man with the microphone speaks the loudest.

It was a cheap political scare tactic aimed at the ignorant out there who still are on the fence. Yes, Dis, just like when the Dems used dubya as a dumbing down of the President's middle initial. IMHO, both cases are ridiculous and childish and any educated person will see right through it. Games, that's all it is, childish games.

Oh boy, it looks like another "Nazi" has spoken:
