Comments on: Fla. Sheriff Plays The “Hussein” Card At Palin Event; Campaign Calls Remark “Inappropriate”

pickit - i think you missed the point, your comment was not racist, just as saying HUSSEIN is not racist. I must be slipping and the sarcasm did not come through. Why do I hesitate? Lack of experience, Rev. Wright,the fact that many people have gone out and registered to vote so they can vote Obama JUST because of the color of his skin. He needs to be elected for the right reasons. I have hesitated before every presidential election since I was old enough to vote because we are never given quality candidates. It is always the lesser of 2 evils. Democrat has nothing to do with it. I do not vote the party line. Back to the real topic . . . all the belly-achin'' about a middle name is a waste of time. ''nuff said.

Barack Hussein Obama, Barack HUSSEIN Obama. There. I said it.
It''s a NAME. How many hispanic men are named Jesus + they are not treated as the Lord?

Now the police officer is under investigation, he might lose his job because he BROKE the law by giving his speech in his uniform. He might even cost his entire department the funding.

Republicans are desperate! Resorting to childish name calling. Pathetic.

How is using a mans full given name racism?? Will it be racism if he wins and gets sworn in by his full given name?? Will the public be outraged at that? Why is everyone so outraged? Are the Obama supporters really that scared because of his middle name? That''s what it sounds like to me. I think people should be scared about both candidates, not their names for crying out loud!!

Cattle, Why is a Democrat like you only leaning towards voting for Barrack HUSSEIN Obama? What makes you hesitate?
And , about calling me nose picker- have you been peeking through my window? Naughty!
Also, could you help me out and explain how making fun of racism is racism?

Phyllis, how is using a man''s legal middle name racist? IT IS HIS NAME. How racist was nose pickers comment about picking cotton? You mentioned the man that killed his family and himself because of the economy. Things like this are happening and everyone is all wound up about the sheriff using a man''s name. Do you people really think that McCain and Palin are behind this comment or condone it? Do you think that McCain called Scott before he spoke and told him to say this? NO! The only mistake the sheriff made was to appear at the rally in uniform. It was not a racist comment, not a slur, not facist. IT WAS A NAME. Just to make it clear, I am not a McCain supporter. I am an undecided Democrat, leaning towards Barrack Hussein Obama.

ONE MORE NOTE REGARDING SHERIFF''S COMMENT AT PALIN''S RALLY: THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE "LOGIC" TO THIS AND SUPPORT IT ARE JUST AS BAD AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD AS AGREEING WITH THESE TYPES OF ATTACKS. PLEASE RE-THINK AND REVIEW WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO YOUR MIND. THIS IS RACISM. THIS IS THE YEAR 2008. DO YOU REALLY WANT THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY? GOD HELP US ALL IF YOU DO. GOD HELP US ALL. PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES. A MAN JUST KILLED HIS MOTHER IN LAW, WIFE, THREE SONS AND HIMSELF BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC CRISES THIS COUNTRY IS IN AND DON''T BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND THAT THEY''VE TOLD US HOW BAD IT REALLY IS.

I am not surprised that McCain/Palin are supporting this type of racism. They are running out of important words to say and the people are seeing them for who they are so they talk this person into calling Sen.Obama''s middle name out like he''s a terrorist and even that is not going to work. It just shows how afraid they are and the level of their intelligence. It''s a shame to see that Sen.McCain being as old as he is, to be still stuck in that type of mentality. I can say that this country/world will never rid itself of racism. Especially when we have someone running for President of The United States on the grounds of making racist remarks. The current administration has done to the people of this country what all the others have done and successfully...DIVIDE AND CONQUER. ARE WE STILL NOT SEEING WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS COUNTRY BEING IN DEBT IN THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAKE UP. I GUESS NEXT MCCAIN/PALIN WILL HAVE ONE OF THEIR SUPPORTERS YELLING "THE "N" WORD" FROM THE CROWD. CAN ANYONE ELSE IMAGINE HOW OTHER COUNTRIES ARE LOOKING AT US? THAT''S WHAT REALLY SCARES ME.

Lindac, You have a good sense of humor. I think you will adapt well to our new way of life after the revolution.
