Republicans are looking even more pathetic than usual as they attempt to make something out of the fact that Senator Obama’s middle name is Hussein.  It’s almost laughable in its stupidity if it didn’t speak to the hatefulness that runs through the Republican party these days.  What do these people hope to achieve by bringing this up over and over?  They’re not going to sway Obama supporters away just because he has a Muslim-sounding name and the same middle name as a despicable despot.  I doubt seriously it even has an affect on Republican voters because they’re not going to vote for him anyway.  I’m sure many of them are embarrassed to be associated with it.  My hat goes off to Senator McCain for speaking out aganst it.
