Can you believe that political correctness has finally come to this? The movement has always been about silencing people, regardless of "freedom of speech". You have freedom to speak, just not those words!
Now there is a big flap over a political rally that was held for John McCain and the conservative talk show host from Cincinnatti who used Barack Hussein Obama's complete name. It's his friggin' name, for Christ's sake. Now we can't use people's names and if we do, it's an attack? Give me a BREAK!
Barack should change his name then. Either that or (stop the presses) tell people, "Hey, it's my name. Forget about it! Get over it!"
And McCain, true to form, has issued an apology! Instead of looking like a strong president he looks like a craven coward. What a joke.
Several thoughts came to me this week... McCain should be outraged that people are using his first name, John, because it harkens to a toilet, and that's insulting. He should also be outraged that people are using his last name McCain because it rhymes with "insane" and, incredibly, like "Hussein"!
In the other political party, Barack should be upset that people are using his first name because it rhymes with "Iraq", and we know what a negative connotation that has with liberals and Democrats. We already know why we can't use his middle name, Hussein. That leaves his last name. But we can't use that because Obama sounds too much like Osama! Even Ted Kennedy couldn't get it right.
So what are we left with? That young, black guy against that old white guy. Hey, that's a good bumper sticker.
