What's John McCain's middle name?
What's Sarah Palin's middle name?
What's Joe Biden's middle name?

Re: ***Its a CRIME to say HUSSAIN!****
 

Right.

People really shouldn't have to be ashamed of their midddle name, should they?

What is funny is there is a movie comeing out designed to paint George W. Bush as a moron. Its called W (Dubya).

Dubya is used by the left to pove their point that dubya is a bumpkin.

but you cant say Hussain or the special procecutor will come get you.

Re: ***Its a CRIME to say HUSSAIN!****
 

And they're saying that John McCain was being racist when he called Obama "That one" the other night in the debate.

Offensive, well yeah -- but nothing racist about it.

Re: ***Its a CRIME to say HUSSAIN!****
 

Actually according to the article YOU posted he is being investigated under the Hatch Act.

For using his office to influence a political campaign.

I don't see a logical co-relation between that and the heading of your thread

(BTW its spelled Hussein)

Re: ***Its a CRIME to say HUSSAIN!****
 

I really don't care how its spelled.

So you read the article and didn't get that the sheriff is being investigated for illegally influencing a political campaign because he used the word "Hussain"

really?

That's what your saying?

LEE COUNTY: Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott is standing by some controversial comments he made at Governor Sarah Palin's rally on Monday - comments already gaining national attention.

While speaking on stage, Scott referred to the Democratic presidential candidate by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.

"Ladies and gentleman, there are three types of people in our country today. There are people that make things happen, there are people that watch things, and there are people who wonder what happened. On November 4, let's leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened," said Sheriff Scott to the crowd at Germain Arena Monday afternoon.

Sheriff's comment scorches phone lines

FORT MYERS: The phone lines lit up at the Lee County Sheriff's Office this morning after Sheriff Mike Scott's comments at the Sarah Palin rally Monday.

In urging voters to choose John McCain in the November election, Scott used Barack Obama's middle name - "Hussein."

Both the Obama and McCain campaign's immediately criticized the statement. McCain's camp said it distracted from their message, while Obama's office said Scott was trying to stoke the fires of a whisper campaign claiming Obama is a Muslim, which is not true.

Re: ***Its a CRIME to say HUSSAIN!****
 

I believe when you read the two other articles it becomes clearer.

It wasn't that he announced McCain to speak that he's being investigated, but that he used his middle name to insinuate he was Muslim.
