That "Obama is a Muslim" and "his middle name is Hussein!!!" crap is so sickening to me. not the racist undertones that get me mad, it's the fact that the Republicans happily condone such discussion, though without ever publicly saying so of course.
His name is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Calling him that has "racist undertones" in the first place? As far as the GOP condoning that, you're probably right. They have a White House to try a win. If it hurts your enemy, it helps you.

They know that literally millions of votes will go their way in November just because of idiots who think Obama is a Muslim. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they made any concerted effort to educate people in the name of fairness to Obama.
Again, you're probably right. The GOP is trying to win an election. So, why would the Republicans say, "He's not a Muslim"? They don't have to say anything, and people will still think Obama is Muslim, like you pointed out. Further, why would the GOP care about being FAIR to Obama? Do you think Obama cares about being FAIR to McCain? No! Both parties are trying to win and and they WANT people to look at the other candidate negatively. It's call Politics and it sucks.

Thank you Karl Rove for a Republican party that wants to get power at any cost.
LOL. Yeah, 'cause I'm sure EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT has NEVER tried to lie, cheat, or steal to get in power, ONLY the Republicans. All Republicans are evil. Every single Democrat is so honest and full of grace that they only care about gaining power in a fair, honest way. Sure. Again, I'll say it's call Politics and it sucks.
