"His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."

Always the same fear schtick. Only the names change.

I only found this story because I was just trying to post it myself. And before anyone gets the wrong idea, I wasn't going to post it because I did, or did not agree with it. I simply thought it might just be interesting to see the comments that would be posted on this kind of story.
One thing I will say is I wish people would stop trying to use Obama's middle name to try to make people think he's a Muslim and not a Christian. Well I am far from being a Obama supporter, or for that matter a supporter of either of the other two candidates still in the running, I just think the use of his middle name in an attempt to make people think he's Muslim, to use the prejudice of some to try to influence how they will vote is just very, very wrong.

The Al Qaeda types approve of Obama not because of his middle name, but because of stuff like this:
"After more than a year of heated political wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory Tuesday by voting to broaden the government's spy powers after giving legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping program.
The Senate rejected a series of amendments that would have restricted the government's surveillance powers and eliminated immunity for the phone carriers, and it voted in convincing fashion - 69 to 29 - to end debate and bring the issue to a final vote. That vote on the overall billwas an almost identical 68 to 29."
Check out who DIDN'T vote on the final bill, even though he DID vote to hold phone companies legally responsible for complying:

Read some of the foreign press and bloggers if you want to find out what they think about Obama
Turkey:
Arab Bloggers and the Obama Phenomenon (By Will Youmans)
While support for him among chattering classes in the Arab world runs high, according to ABC News, Arab American writers are often ambivalent.
Arab Americans have reservations despite his call for change â;; a slogan many agree with â;; and his past association with Chicago-based Arab groups. Even the circulated picture of him seated next to Edward Said has not won him wide support.
Lebanese professor of politics, As'ad AbuKhalil, of the blog Angry Arab, offered criticism of Arab news coverage of Obama. He wrote, "Al-Jazeera is covering Obama as if he is the political equivalent of Muhammad Ali."

It's not difficult to find opinions about Obama in the Arab press. All you have to do is look

What I fail to understand is "Why bother?" It's not like spreading this racist fearmongering around some more is going to net you a few MORE gullible racist converts that were, you know, going to vote for Obama to start with, before they read this stunning revelation that somehow a midwestern US senator is going to be sympathetic towards terrorists because of his middle name or the fact that he had a multicultural upbringing. Bewildering.

I am more worried about his connections than his name. I hope he wins the democratic nom. because we definetly do not need to have Billary back in our white house. I do not believe our nation needs to be run by two families for ove 24 years. Bush, Clinton, Bush and then a Clinton again. Please NO WAY!
Once he has the party nom. we really need to put him and Mcain underneath the magnifying glass. What is his connections with Islam. Why would the so called christian church he attends honor some one who is spreading Islam? ( L. Farrakan was honored by Obamas church. What businessdoes he have with those threating America and Isreal? Alot of questions need to be asked. I hope that they are.
