Look folks, like Kat, I get e-mails on an almost daily basis telling me what a horrifying presidential candidate Barack Obama is because he isn’t named John Smith born to white, Christian parents.
Now, we’ve got a firestorm here in Tennessee because the Republican Party issued a press release entitled “Anti-Semites for Obama” as well as making sure to use his middle name in everything they release. (See Volunteer Voters for a full recap of the entire clusterfornication.) That to me is horrifying.
I stated my $.02 worth on it over at Mack’s site, but I’ll reiterate it here for good measure…
My first inclination is to say who gives a shit what his middle name is? For all I care it could be Barack Hitler Obama…Being named Barack Hussein Obama no more makes him a terrorist Jew hater any more than me being named Ginger Lynn makes me a porn star.
(Yes, that is my name…let the jokes begin.)
I mean…that is just how ridiculous this whole thing is. He didn’t get to name himself…that was his parents’ doing…so are we really going to stoop to these elementary school level antics?
Come on, Republicans…you can do better than that.

Right on, Ginger, I totally agree.

My middle name too, my dear. Can I just change it to Hussein?
I think we should all change it to Hussein.
It’s just a name, you know.
I always feel so Southern though with the middle name thing which kinda makes me smile.

I must say that I loved the Ginger Lynn reference and the hating on Obama by MY party is pissing me off. I hope ‘Coma did fall over again with seizure.
Oops, I meant I hope she DIDN’T fall over again…
I thought “Backdoor Bonanza 12″ was some of your best work.
Obama is going about this all wrong. If he was smart, he’d shave his head into a mohawk, start wearing lots of gold chains, and start calling himself “B.H. Obama” in a nod to everyone’s favorite 80’s black guy, Mr. T. He could even go one step beyond and start calling himself “B.H. Obama, aka Mr. B.” and thus be the only man to ever chance the slogan on the national seal to “I pity the fool.”
The stupid-assed thing is that Hussein (in countries with an Arabic language tradition) is a common name. It means “the fair one” or “The handsome one”
Romantic and Gaelic language equivalents of the name are:
Beau
Devon
Kyle
Cullen
Angus
and….
John.
Actually “John” means “beloved of God”.
In the Arabic tradition when one is “handsome” that person is considered to be especially beloved of God.
So when you get down to brass tacks, “Hussein” and “John” mean the same thing. And are both common in their linguistic worlds.
hello Ginger, Talk about you. I would like to know it better.
A kiss with care
“Ginger Lynn” does easily lend itself to some rhyming porn-film titles.
Though, it also has a drink thing working for it. For example, at a restaurant, a parent might say, “I’ll have a Diet Coke and the children will all have Ginger Lynns.”
Or, it could be something harder. Maybe in a biker bar you’d hear: “I’ll have a shot of well whiskey with a Ginger Lynn chaser.”
