John McCain hosted a rally in Ohio today in which Cincinnati talk radio nutjob Bill Cunningham -yes, the guy who said on Fox News a few years ago that he wishes cops would beat up black men more often- introduced him. And said this:
Hussein is Obama's middle name, but talk show host Bill Cunningham used it three times as he addressed the crowd before the likely Republican nominee's appearance.McCain, to his credit, immediately apologized and distanced himself from Cunningham. How dare he disrespect talk radio!"Now we have a hack, Chicago-style Daley politician who is picturing himself as change. When he gets done with you, all you're going to have in your pocket is change," Cunningham said as the audience roared.
The time will come, Cunningham added, when the media will "peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama" and tell the truth about his relationship with indicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko and how Obama got "sweetheart deals" in Chicago.
I knew the "Obama-as-Chicago-machine-politician" meme would creep up eventually, after all the other smears failed. Real funny- like the legendarily racist old Chicago political machine would ever support a black man for dog catcher, let alone president.
You've got to be kidding. Do you mean that?
Why is it a smear to use a candidate's middle name three times, Stephen J. Silver, Stephen J. Silver, Stephen J. Silver? Is Hussein the man's middle name or not?
I'm practically an expert on diversity, and I just used your middle initial thrice. Was that a smear of you?
