Hows’ this for hypocrisy: If you don’t support Barack Obama, if you dare mention his middle name, you’re accused of fearmongering. If you support Obama, and mention his middle name, you deserve a freakin’ medal:
Barack Obama’s middle name Hussein has been used in some corners as a rallying cry to cast false aspersions against him, but in a growing movement, some of his supporters are adopting his middle name as a show of solidarity with the candidate.
The New York Times reports that those who are adding Hussein to their name tags — at least online — come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including Jews and Catholics, Hispanics and Asians; and from all over the country, from Oklahoma to Washington, D.C.
[…]
People are changing e-mail accounts and adding Hussein as their middle names on social-networking sites like Facebook, the Times reports, to deaden the effect the name “Hussein” has on some people who see it as a negative trait.
Well then, if they can call attention to it, from now on, I’ll just call him by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.

Robert Ferrigno, author of “Prayers for the Assassin” and his latest, “Sins of the Assassin” has an article of what an Obama presidency may look like, in the eyes of Mahamoud Ahmawhackjob. Read the whole thing.
I had a correspondence today with Mr. Ferrigno, in which I compared Obama with the movie, “Being There,” with Peter Sellers playing “Chance,” the cognitively-challenged gardener (Chauncy Gardner), who at the end of the movie is being considered for a run for POTUS.
Mr. Ferrigno responded,
“Leo
you nailed it with the Being There analogy. amazing. the guy truly is a blank screen on which people project their deepest desires. we’re in for some rough water, i’m afraid.
Robert
Is Barack Obama a life imitating art in this case? One would think so.

‘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.
