I hear his middle name is "HUSSEIN" as well.

You mean Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

Lionel Mandrake: You mean Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

No. You mean Barack HUSSEIN OSAMA.

FTA: "an Edwards campaign ambassador approaches. "What do you guys hang from the ladders at firefighters' funerals?" he asked the men in yellow. An awkward moment ensues. "The American flag!" he answers his own question. Then, he points right at Mrs. Sorenson (an Obama precinct captain), and declares: "Obama doesn't salute the American flag." For good measure, he adds that Obama was sworn in to the Senate on the Koran."

That is classy... when the truth isn't sexy enough you can always make crazy shiat up.

And he refuses to wear a Chinese-made American flag lapel pin!

How can this man possibly be presidential material?

Here in Canada, I don't think I've ever seen a single politician - or anyone for that matter - saluting the flag with the exception of World War vets. Maybe it's because we've only had it for 40 years, but it just doesn't seem to be the sacred object that the American flag is.

Obsession with patriotic symbols is the mark of people who don't have real patriotism.

I heard Obama also has some black children.

Lets hope that this backfires and ends up burying Edwards chances of getting elected. Political muckraking like this should get people thrown out of the race.

All of this has already been debunked. Why are we still talking about it? Could anything possibly matter less?

Etchy333: I heard Obama also has some black children.

I heard he is half a Negro himself.

Hillary got her ass handed to her in Iowa, and some of her comments afterwards were pretty snippy. Much to my surprise, we might see Obama get the top spot in the convention and win the party nomination. Which would piss off Hillary to no end, as well as kicking Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in the 'nads. Might be worth it for that alone, but if I were Obama i'd start watching for assasination attempts from his own party.

All of which is academic at this point tho - it's still too early to say for sure who is going to be the candidate for either party. But Hillary can't be at all pleased with how this fight is turning out.

Afternoon_Delight: Maybe the American flag represents just a little bit more than the Canadian flag does.

Of course, to leftists, the US flag is an offensive hate symbol anyway. A smug, arrogant liberal has no use for it. But young angry leftists and muslim mobs do enjoy burning it.


It's pretty obvious that B. Hussein Obama thinks of the flag as a childish, annoying symbol - beneath someone of his stature and intellect in this modern day. That doesn't make him unusual. Rather, it marks him as the perfect figurehead for modern left-wing thought.

Code_Archeologist said it best: "when the truth isn't sexy enough you can always make crazy shiat up."

On top of your game once again! You'd been slipping recently.

Good Lord...WTF are these people stretching so far for? The trite innocuous crap they are coming up shows little more than their willingness to to out themselves as ass-backward yokels.

What's next?

"HE DOESN'T LIKE CELERY IN HIS STUFFING!!!!"
"HE DOESN'T DOUBLE DOWN ON ELEVEN!!!"
"HE WEARS WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY!"

I mean, at the very least come up with something original or at least mildly bizarre. How about:

He has a tail and is actually from the third moon of Neptune

He once pulled out an old lady's chair out from underneath her...just to watch her fall.

Afternoon_Delight - Your Troll-Fu is powerful indeed. Your hands must be as impressive as Anne Coulter himself's.

Hussein!
HUSSEIN!
HUSSEIN!!!

Every time some total douche slips that into a comment I am reminded how desperate and pathetic the neocons are. The best you can do is attack a middle name given to him by someone else? I have never witnessed more FAIL in a political thread.

A President who wipes his ass with the Constitution? No prob.
A candidate with a funny middle name who doesn't wear a lapel pin? OMFG!! PROBLEM! PROBLEM!!

Even if he was sworn in on the Koran, so what?

B Hussein ObamaOsama must be doing something right if Edwards supporters are resorting to GOP tactics to try to get the best of him. And what's funniest about the whole thing is that it's not really very damaging at all, especially on the Democrat side. Sure, the Republican base would be livid about this, but they're all racist redneck morans anyhow. I have a feeling this kind of attack won't work around for the more educated on the left.

Lionel Mandrake: A candidate with a funny middle name who doesn't wear a lapel pin? OMFG!! PROBLEM! PROBLEM!!

I wish we could get a "Libs! Libs! Libs!" crazy guy yelling about B Hussein Obama

Ah, nice... Bush voters Weaver95 and Afternoon_Delight are here to give the rest of us advice on choosing the most qualified candidate for President.

That's like Britney Spears giving advice on raising children.
That's like Rosie O'Donnell giving us diet tips.

Zarkin Frood: All of this has already been debunked. Why are we still talking about it? Could anything possibly matter less?



The point of the story is that the lies are being repeated by his democratic rival's campaign. That actually does matter to some degree.

Ya know, I'm reminded of something... what if, say, someone ran for president of France. And his name was something that the French were unfamiliar with, like Charles Ramirez.

They would boot up their computers and see that there was a serial killer with the last name Ramirez and another one with the first name Charles and their extremist politicians would brand the guy a murderer, no matter how stellar his voting record.

It's like McLovin said in Superbad, "Muhammed is the most common name in the world." And Hussein is also common. But it's like comparing John to Muhammed and Richard to Hussein.

Sit on that one for a while.

Hilldog, Huckster...

We need a good nickname for Obama. Where are Matt and Trey when we need them?

From my understanding, it wasn't anyone from Edward's campaign that said it.
It was some Douchy McDoucherson holding an Edwards sign (which is what the caucus supporters amount to).
It's just some dude with AOL dial-up who opens every "FWD:FwdFwd:FWD-Fwd-RE:" that lands in his inbox and believes it wholeheartedly."

You could cleary see the thermite during his acceptance speech in Iowa.

In contrast to the willfully ignorant right-wing pedants who worship the symbol while embracing the desecration of everything it represents.

5000_gallons_of_toothpaste: Lets hope that this backfires and ends up burying Edwards chances of getting elected.

as if he had any chances to begin with

"Barack Obama, fresh from his victory in Iowa, now holds a ten point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the race found Obama with 37% of the vote while Clinton earns 27%. John Edwards is the only other candidate in double digits, with 19% support. Bill Richardson is the choice for 8%."

Election 2008: New Hampshire Democratic Primary (new window)


/game set match OBAMA

Afternoon_Delight: It's pretty obvious that

the depth of your absurdity has no limits.

Absurdity: the state or quality of being absurd.
Absurd: Ridiculously incongruous or unreasonable. See Synonym: foolish.

KramericaWallet: Hilldog, Huckster...

We need a good nickname for Obama. Where are Matt and Trey when we need them?

"Bama" is the one I hear most.

Obama will get the nod. He's got the ability to sway Republican voters and Independents. I was listening to the radio yesterday and was amazed at all of the Republicans who called in and said they would vote for Obama. This is what our country needs. We cannot continue to be polarized like we are.

Bickering over lapel pins? Calling everyone a terrorist? America's talking heads have stooped to the level of 10th grade girls and the people who listen to them are like the impressionable 9th graders who follow the older girls around mimicking them and wanting to be cool.

Afternoon_Delight: A smug, arrogant liberal has no use for it.

I've been looking everywhere for your picture of a smug, arrogant liberal. Have you got it handy?

Johhnyc

For some reason I don't like Bama as a nick-name, too close to his real name and doesn't sound that great.

But it gave me an idea: Bam-Bam.

KramericaWallet: But it gave me an idea: Bam-Bam.

Personally, I like "Mr. President" :D

Afternoon_Delight: Maybe the American flag represents just a little bit more than the Canadian flag does.

Maybe the American flag represents a golden idol to be worshiped at all costs.

Of course, to leftists, the US flag is an offensive hate symbol anyway. A smug, arrogant liberal has no use for it. But young angry leftists and muslim mobs do enjoy burning it.

Of course, to rightists, the US flag is the most holy symbol in the world. A smug, arrogant conservative worships it like a golden calf. But old, bitter rightists and the Christian Taliban will be certain to crucify anyone who dares offend their Fabric Allah. Made in China of course.

It's pretty obvious that B. Hussein Obama thinks of the flag as a childish, annoying symbol - beneath someone of his stature and intellect in this modern day. That doesn't make him unusual. Rather, it marks him as the perfect figurehead for modern left-wing thought.

It's pretty obvious that Mike Suckabee/9u11ani/Ron Fail/Mitt Mormony thinks of the flag as more important than the actual Constitution, laws of the nation, or civil rights. That doesn't make them unusual, it makes them as the perfect figureheads for modern right-wing "thought"

That was fun. Can we go again?

Disgraceful.

">

downstairs: No. You mean Barack HUSSEIN OSAMA.

*gives a quick glance*

Me: "Hey Babe, looks like Barack Obama is related to that Osama Hussein guy"
Wife: "Who is Osama Hussein?"
Me: "That guy who attacked us on 9/11, the president of Iraq."
Wife: "So we can't vote for Barack?"
Me: "Nope, his name has Hussein in it."

My snowball of ignorant retardation, let me roll it downhill at you. EVERYBODY RUN

You know someone that liked a lot of saluting...

Just saying...

Sorry, I used to support Obama, but after watching footage of him, I noticed something: he both signs his name with his left hand and shoots a basketball with his left hand. I personally don't think this is acceptable, and I'm not ready to vote for a left-handed handmonger.

DO NOT VOTE OBAMA unless you want to be wearing left-handed gloves, writing on left-handed desks and more.

Not much different than Hillary's group's tactics at my caucus. After the non-viables were decided, her supporters immediately went over to them and started saying anything they could to get people over. One was a woman who claimed she had gotten a text message from Joe Biden's campain--they realied they were not viable and wanted all his supporters to vote for Hillary.

Classy.

The best thing I like about Obama is watching Freepers trying to generate a coherent narative.

"Barack Osama is a flaming liberal that will legalize gay marriage and provide abortion on demand and is also a crypto-muslim who will implement Sharia law as soon as he is elected"

What?

Afternoon_Delight: Maybe the American flag represents just a little bit more than the Canadian flag does.

Maybe your country would be better off if you started valuing substance over symbols?

I've been very surprised by the types of people who secretly support Obama. I've spoken to lots of hardcore right wing nuts, Libertarian fruitcakes, and even Bush voters who've said they wouldn't mind Obama because he seems like he would be good for the government as a whole. He has support nearly across the board. The only thing that irks me about him is that he feels the need to talk about religion.

Etchy333: I heard Obama also has some black children.

I laughed.

With intrade.com's traders assessing Edwards' probability of winning the Dem nomination at 3.7%, I wouldn't worry too much about what he says.

btw, it's best not to feed the trolls.

You are dead on, here is another leftist not paying any respect to the flag

Shaggy_C: B Hussein ObamaOsama must be doing something right if Edwards supporters are resorting to GOP tactics to try to get the best of him.

Well, to be fair, ONE Edwards supporter is reported (By the NRO) to have said these things.

I think it is a little early to be saying "Edwards supporters, or to think this is a conscious effort by the Edwares team.

10/10

Gangway Fathead: The point of the story is that the lies are being repeated by his democratic rival's campaign. That actually does matter to some degree.

By one member of his Democratic rival's campaign.

And reported so by a hardly unimpeachable source.

Zarkin Frood: Ya know, I'm reminded of something... what if, say, someone ran for president of France. And his name was something that the French were unfamiliar with, like Charles Ramirez...


This same thing happened to me at work. Some guy started saying "Why would anyone vote for him...his middle name is Hussein and his last name sounds like Osama."

Well, his name is Scott, and he's always desparately searching for a woman. I said "Why would any girl want to date you...your name is Scott. That's just like Scott Peterson. You'd just murder her."

He shut his trap.

JohnnyC: KramericaWallet: But it gave me an idea: Bam-Bam.

President Barry has a darn nice ring to it.
