    John Methuselah McCain

    See...the other side of the aisle has the ability to be tacky also.

    I support McCain, but I do NOT want to see him win by smugness and arrogance. I would rather he win in a campaign where we don't fake cleverness in playing with people's names in an attempt to villify.

    I don't see anything wrong with calling him by his middle name, just like we lovingly call bigtexxx 'tex' and basso 'ass'.

    No logical person finds his name offensive - only people who use it in the hopes that it inspires some redneck's thinking process into proposing, "Hu...ssein? Barack...Hussein? Didn't we knock that a-rab off 'a his sand dune a few years ago?" You'll never admit it, but that's your thought process. Because his middle name is Hussein, it must stand as a clear indication of his direct involvement with Islam, terrorism, and hitting small children across the face with a Koran will burning their Bibles. Until you start calling John Sidney and Hillary Diane Rodham by their proper names, your tactic is blatantly obvious at face value.

    But, again, you don't understand.

    I'm glad that McCain spoke out how he did, and that he pledged not to have it happen again.

    That being said his campaign did choose who introduced him, and he does deserve some flak for choosing that guy to introduce him at his very own campaign speech.

    no, I must disagree




    they know *exactly* why they are doing it.


    I assume most figure out the Bobbsey Twins(The Conquistadork and bigsexxxy) and basso's tricks and dismiss them as any sane person interested in civil discourse does, so let this be a heads up to ya if you hadnt already figgered it out.

    you will notice that only a couple of diehard headbangers still attempt to argue with them.

    How can a guy feign ignorance to names when he deliberately misnames Obama's last name as Ubama?

    I sense a NewYork style collapse coming soon.

    Ubama more closely approximates the arabic pronunciation. Same thing for Usama, as opposed to Osama.

    It's an African surname.

    McCain has so much more class than Team Bush, it will be a genuine relief to look at someone whom I respect as an opponent. Too bad the megadittos will hate him for being sensible and mature.

    It will be interesting to see what comes of the Karl Rove Wet Dream supporters - the fearful, cocky, and poorly informed bigtexx's and so forth. When their candidate is actually a smart and dignified human being, and denounces the poor instincts of the party's bottom feeders, where will they go? How does it feel to, essentially, be called out by your own presidential candidate?

    osama/usama is an arabic first name

    obama is an african/kenyan last name

    why do rednecks always compare the two lie they're the same thing?

    First off, let's keep the D&D civil and not call others rednecks, vlaurelio.

    Secondly, I'd like to serve you a warm slice of PWN3RSHIP pie. You are mixing languages with countries, here. Arabic is one of the languages spoken in Kenya. Specifically the Omani and Hadhrami dialects.

    LOL! I'm going to be voting for McCain but I must admit, this is the first time I wouldn't be upset over a democrat winning the white house. ....of course I'm referring to Obama....not....yuck....Clinton.

    I like both John and Barack.

    sorry if it hurt you :D but not too fast

    again is the last name obama arabic or not? is it Omani or Hadrami? TIA

    I don't care what dialects they have in kenya

    Obama is from the Luo tribe in Kenya and they speak the Dholuo language, which belongs to the Western Nilotic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family spoken by other Luo-speaking peoples such as the Lango, Acholi, Padhola and Alur (all of Uganda).
