Apparently, using Hussein DOES mean something. There was a clip of one of the leaders from the Mideast saying that Barak HUSSEIN Obama will lead America and he was overly emphasizing Hussein and the crowd cheered!

There was no mention in the article of using Hussein being a crime.
Actually the title of the BLOG was:
Feds investigating sheriff after 'Hussein' remark
and the excerpt was:
LEE COUNTY: Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott may have more to worry about than just the court of public opinion.
Federal investigators are now looking into whether Scott broke the law by campaigning for John McCain.
Officials with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel say they have received so many phone calls from the public that they launched an investigation into Sheriff Scott on Tuesday.
The question is - did he use his position as sheriff to influence an election? If so, he could be in violation of a federal election law called the Hatch Act.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office receives more than $1 million in federal grant money from everything from human trafficking to bullet proof vests.
But if Sheriff Scott is found in violation of the Hatch Act, the feds can pull two years salary worth of federal funding - the equivalent to $300,000 for the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
