Mishu is right. It is a lame, and childish political tactic. It is the sort of thing one expects from Fox News or Talk Radio, but not from an intelligent adult.
Lets come right out and admit what is going on here… it is a childish attempt to establish a link between Obama and Islamic Terrorisim totally because he has an Islamic middle name. By this same “logic” Omar Bradely was a deep cover agent for the PLO. Lord alone knows what the “Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine” have been plotting in thier secret meetings, those alleged “Children’s Hospitals” they run, and that “Circus” they run! Why that “Shrine Circus” has been known to travel the country visiting cities with ports, military bases, and potential terrorist targets!! (How many times was the Shrine Circus in New York before 9-11?? If they wern’t in New York, on that day, was it because they were WARNED?? What did the Elephant know and when did he know it???)
It is such a transparent attempt at a slur it only serves to make the person doing it look childish and stupid. (“He has an Arabic middle name!! He MUST be a terrorist!!”)
In fact nothing causes someone to loose credibility with me faster than using Obama’s middle name.
(And no, just because other people in the blogosphere act childish and stupid does not justify intelligent conservatives doing so… didn’t your Mother ever give you the talk about “If everyone else was jumping off a bridge…”?)
You want to go after Obama? GREAT examine his policies and find fault with them… shouldn’t be hard. You want to examine what he believes, (and from what I understand his Church has some rather unusual elements to it) go for it. You want to take him on for his remarks about the Sermon on the Mount and “an obscure passage in Romans” regarding Gay marriage, more power to you. All of those things will take work and thought, of course, but intelligent argument does that.
