The Libertarian Oddity John McCain on the Environment

Barack HUSSEIN Obama

May 12th, 2008 at 07:04pm Mark Noonan

‘Cause he started it, himself- from NRO’s The Corner:

Who Started the “Hussein” Business?

I didn’t know this until I read Bret Stephens’ WSJ column yesterday. Who said the following?

“Well, I think if you’ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that’s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush.”

Answer: Barack Hussein Obama.

Bret recounts:

Sometime before Barack Obama’s middle name slipped into the realm of the unmentionable, it was supposed to be a selling point of his candidacy. “Well, I think if you’ve got a guy named Barack Hussein Obama, that’s a pretty good contrast to George W. Bush,” Mr. Obama told PBS’s Tavis Smiley on October 18, 2007. “If you believe that we’ve got to heal America and we’ve got to repair our standing in the world, then I think my supporters believe that I am the messenger who can deliver that message.”

Of course, that must be before someone in the Obama camp poll-tested “Hussein” and found it to be political poison - from that point, it became an act of pure evil to mention Obama’s middle name. Well, I’m not having any of that - its his name, and there’s an end on it. If Obama is ashamed of it, he should let us know. For the record, my name is Mark Edward Noonan, and you can do with it anything you like as I’m proud of the whole thing: “Mark” for St. Mark; “Edward” for my grand-uncle Edward Diggins; “Noonan” for my family, which stretches back into the mists of Ireland.

    Yep. I posted this at B4V a while back. Barack HUSSEIN Obama is the one responsible. Imagine that!

    Read what the NEW YORK TIMES posted today: “President Apostate?”
    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/12/opinion/12luttwak.html?_r=1&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin

    NYT: As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant.

    Of course, as most Americans understand it, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written convincingly to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him.

    His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason. Indeed, it is the worst of all crimes that a Muslim can commit, worse than murder (which the victim’s family may choose to forgive).

    With few exceptions, the jurists of all Sunni and Shiite schools prescribe execution for all adults who leave the faith not under duress; the recommended punishment is beheading at the hands of a cleric, although in recent years there have been both stonings and hangings. (Some may point to cases in which lesser punishments were ordered — as with some Egyptian intellectuals who have been punished for writings that were construed as apostasy — but those were really instances of supposed heresy, not explicitly declared apostasy as in Senator Obama’s case.)

    It is true that the criminal codes in most Muslim countries do not mandate execution for apostasy (although a law doing exactly that is pending before Iran’s Parliament and in two Malaysian states). But as a practical matter, in very few Islamic countries do the governments have sufficient authority to resist demands for the punishment of apostates at the hands of religious authorities. …

    Because no government is likely to allow the prosecution of a President Obama — not even those of Iran and Saudi Arabia, the only two countries where Islamic religious courts dominate over secular law — another provision of Muslim law is perhaps more relevant: it prohibits punishment for any Muslim who kills any apostate, and effectively prohibits interference with such a killing.

    At the very least, that would complicate the security planning of state visits by President Obama to Muslim countries, because the very act of protecting him would be sinful for Islamic security guards. More broadly, most citizens of the Islamic world would be horrified by the fact of Senator Obama’s conversion to Christianity once it became widely known — as it would, no doubt, should he win the White House. This would compromise the ability of governments in Muslim nations to cooperate with the United States in the fight against terrorism, as well as American efforts to export democracy and human rights abroad.

    Mark-

    I am sure you read Newt’s article last week at Human Events about how if the GOP wants to lose all they need to do is focus their campaign against Obama as the “Rev. Wright, He’s Black, Secretly Muslim and Did you know his middle name is Hussein and last name rhymes with Osama.” This stuff works with the dopes and mouth breathers but not with swing voters, who as you know decide elections.

    Newt thinks that poltical campaigns are won by the person with the better ideas. How novel. Also, what do think of McCain’s speech today in Oregon on Global Warming?

  • 3. Mark Noonan  |  May 12th, 2008 at 10:05 pm

    Jerry,

    Who is proposing that? All I’m pointing out is that Obama, himself, brought up the Name That Shall Not Be Mentioned.

  • 4. js  |  May 12th, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    really…they need to expose more of obama’s endorsement of his cousin the muslim radical in kenya that vowed to impose islamic sharia law on the entire nation, that is 90% non muslim…..

    wright only scratches the mohagany of the story…wright didnt really teach Christianity as much as he taught racist activism under the guise of a Christian Reverend….but his cousins people filled up a Christian Church with Christians, and burned it to the ground….

    lets really work on that….

  • 6. Jeremiah  |  May 13th, 2008 at 12:30 am

    That middle name - Hussein ryhmes with Insane.

    Just put the insane, before the Hussein, and you have the truth of the matter…and more fitting.

  • 7. Gaijin  |  May 13th, 2008 at 1:35 am

    Could you guys please tell me McCain’s middle name. Fred Thompson’s, Rudy’s, Hunter’s. Certain people are trying to use his name to scare middle America that he is a secret muslim.

    I really don’t care. Say his name, shout it from the roof tops if you like. It doesn’t matter to me as long as you support our President Hussein starting next January.

    I would also like to ask how Freedom1’s post is not off topic. It makes no mention of Barrack’s middle name, is something he copied from the NYT and goes on about about what muslims believe.

    Peace, Gaijin

    I would not lift a finger to harm him….but i doubt that obama would live long enough to see 4 nov come around if he is nominated…there is just too much screwed up in his story….to many facets in the US and around the world would go to great lengths to insure he doesnt rise to power….every time he turns a corner…he has to disavow long term relationships…and the outfit that runs Chicago…well..nuff said….

    Barack Obama ‘understands’ why Hamas supports him - NYdailynews.com

    While maintaining an ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, Barack Obama says he understood why a top Hamas adviser voiced support for his presidential bid.

    “It’s conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, HAS A MIDDLE NAME OF HUSSEIN and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’” Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.

    “That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for Israel’s security,” Obama said.

    Obama’s election as President will spell war in the middle east and the possible demise of Isreal as the muslims will believe that he will take no action against them.

    It will also mean the integration of Taiwan into China, via invasion. As the Chinese know that Obama will not lift a finger to stop them.

    It may also result in the re-integration of some of the former soviet bloc states back into Russia.

    And it will confrim to the world that the US has gone from Super Power to Paper Tiger.

    And it will confrim to the world that the US has gone from Super Power to Paper Tiger.

    America got there phnx the instant it decided to go to war in Iraq without the effective number of troops to do so for political reasons and its unwillingness when faced with its inability to rotate troops in the proper numbers a failure to institute a draft in the winter of 2004. Had those things been done 400 000+ troops could have been kept in iraq for the three years it would have taken to win the war and the peace. Alas, 2004 was a presidential election year and seeing young men burning draft cards, again, would not have contributed to building a “permanent majority,” would it?

    Very scary post, and I fear that you may be correct.

  • 20. phnx  |  May 14th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    Cavalor,

    Your post falls far short of proving your point that the US is a paper tiger.

    1) 50 million people freed from oppression.
    2) Free elections in two muslim nations for the first time in history.
    3) 90% of al Queda dead or captured, the rest in hidding.
    4) No new attacks on the US since 9/11
    5) No country willing to face off against the US military.

    You greatly misunderestimate the military strength, effectiveness, determination and readiness of the US military.

    If Obama becomes President you can expect some very cold winters for Eurostan, as Putin manipulates the gas supply to influence policy in the EU.

    Who ya gonna call when reality comes knocking?

    I hope you have a coal burning stove. They still do mine that in the UK don’t they?

  • 21. Cavalor Epthith, Esquire, D.S.V.J.  |  May 14th, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    20. phnx | May 14th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    You mean Medvedev but your point is taken. Yes cold winters in Europe as they were in 2002 when the supply was cut off ans 2003 and 2004. Nothing new here as long as Putin and his allies control Lukoil, Soyuzplodoimport and and Neftgas what is to be done?

    As far as coal burning stoves sure they are around and there is coal in abundance in many places other than the UK but I don’t think anyone really wants a rogue America trampling the globe to take resources. nations that do that always get put down. I would point you to the history of Imperial Japan from 1899 to 1945. What began as patriotic nationalism after a victory over the Russians in 1903 ended in an atomic pair of fireballs in 1945. Inbetween was a march to destory those “inferior” to them in Korea and China in Burma and Micronesia in the name of . . . what? The throne they worshipped and the man that sat there, Hirohito. To fuel their economy they needed resources and they waged war to get them. Draw your own parallels to Imperial America.

  • 22. phnx  |  May 14th, 2008 at 9:45 pm

    Cavalor,

    No I MEANT Putin, Medvedev is his sock puppet.

    What is the point of your history lesson? Your anaolgy to Imperial Japan is laughably ironic. May I remind you of your own Imperial history.

    We have enought coal reserves to last the next 400 years. More than enough to create oil from coal. In addition we have large untapped supplies of oil, which the public will soon insist be exploited.
