How is

[TexasHSFB]

"Hussein Obama" a word play on Barack's name? That is part of the man's name, correct?:thinking:

It isnt a play on his name. It is part of his name. I say because it humored during the campaign, not a single mainstream media outlet would call him by his name. They would occasionally use the full names of some of the others. Never his though. Wonder why?

BEAST because alarmists ignorant idiots would associate him with terrorists and witless politicians would exploit it. How many times in Bush's administration did people call him Walker Bush

[BEAST]

They referred to Bush quite often as George W. Bush. So much so that he was given the nickname W, dubya. It was never Barak H. Obama. Just Barak Obama or simply, Obama. I mean nothing by it, as I said, it just humored me. Did it hit a nerve? Wasnt meaning to.

BEAST actually not at all, as a matter of fact when people use it while making a point I feel it diminishes it. But again, I never saw anyone use "Walker Bush" yet I wonder why "Hussein" Obama would be different? :thinking:

outright and intent aren't the same

[Electus Unus]

George W. Bush was called that because his dad was George H. W. Bush.

LMAO.

You can refer to Bush as "Dubya" but noone else is allowed to even mention Barack's REAL name or else it's a word play.

What's John McCain's middle name? Sara Palin's? Joe Biden's? Nancy Pelosi's? How often do you hear that referred to?

H. Ross Perot used H. because he went by his middle name.


Hill-dog only uses her because she wants to show her feminist side, and even most of the time people still call her by HC...or Hill-dog.

Using Hussein isn't wordplay only if the same parameters are being used for each person you speak of. Does he go by Hussein? No. How many other politicians that go by their first name are referred to by their middle? Only W (and the reasoning is explained above). Calling Hussein is purosefully trying create a link to Obama & Sadam, which is ludicrous.

Persoanlly I've never heard of anyone refer to him as "Barack Hussein Obama," I'm just wondering how it's a word play if the middle name was mentioned. You have a good point.


Although I'm not making any direct comparisons to Saddam, you do have to recognize the "coincidence." :eek: :devil: :p

It's what he's called in his circles is it not?

And I'm certainly not using his name to connect him to some policy I dislike or terrorist organization....lmao you tell Farmersfan to stick to politics perhaps you should stick to opening up dumba$$ threads as such!

I'm going to stick up for the right side here on basically the same principle. I don't see an issue with George W. Bush, but 'Dubya' was created by the liberal side of media (I believe there's both side to it, and you can't convince me otherwise) to portray him in the Good Ol'Boy view. Some people call with Dubya just because, but the main reason for creation was to put a negative, uneducated slant that was picked up to a point that it became commonplace and some may not realize the negativity attached to it.

I feel, to be fair, one cannot demand one side to refrain from using Hussein and still type or refer to 'Dubya' instead of George W. Bush. The W. is for distinguishing between another person, and not a nickname.


As always, JMO.

As far as I can see, you are the only person saying anything about terorist connections. BTLH mentioned something about it, and I jokingly replied.


And, maybe I should. I'm not one to take a liberal moron's advice though.

As always, JMO. well, you'll have to exclude me from that line of thinking, it was my understanding that it was how he was referred to in his circle. I normally use W. as a short hand. Either way, big difference in how I refer to him and the purposeful use of a name to stir the passions of a xenophobic populace in order to win an election. McCain was bigger than that, they even asked him to expand on that talk, but he calmly quieted that "muslim" talk.

You refer to Bush as "dubya" because that's how he is "referred to in his circle" (not because it's degrading) and anyone who mentions "Hussein" is using nothing more than a word play.


Am I the only one who sees the irony? Maybe it's because I'm young and dumb. Yeah, that's gotta be it. It couldn't be because what I say is even partly logical. After all, I haven't read enough liberal way of life books.

Big difference in being portrayed to a xenophobic populace as a terrorist....

...and being portrayed as a uneducated, xenophobic person who wants to 'blow up'or 'destroy' those not like us? (like a terrorist?).



Just saying, I can see both sides, and to me, it's not a huge difference. Each side pandered using wordplay to make the other person seem like a bigot.

When people called Obama 'Hussein' they are trying to connect him to a terrorist organization(mainly the conservative side during the election).

LOL well if talking like that means one's a bigot, then so be it, almost all my friends talk with a southern accent and I certainly don't associate them as bigots, by nature of my association with them. Does the term mean something else to people in other parts of the country perhaps. But I never use it or any variation of it to expand a point I'm making as I've seen here repeatedly with Osama-Obama, Hussen Osama blah blah

dude come on..it is not that they say because his name is that he is terroist..it is the connotation and relaitionship theory that when u hear something u correlate it to a certain image.

The first time I ever even heard of Mr. Obama, I heard his name in the media as Barack Hussein Obama. Heard it on CNN, Fox, CNBC, ABC, NBC, and everywhere else. The guy can't help it if he has a familiar sounding name. They all get nicknames.

I can remember a few.

Dubya
Slick Willie
Poppy
The Gipper'
"Jimmy" Carter
"Jerry" Ford aka Mr. Nice Guy
Tricky Dick
LBJ
The King of Camelot
Ike
High Tax Harry
FDR
Honest Abe aka Happy Jack
Mad Tom
King John II
The Father of our Country

Don't know what will stick to the new guy. I hear BHO a lot.

The first time I ever even heard of Mr. Obama, I heard his name in the media as Barack Hussein Obama. Heard it on CNN, Fox, CNBC, ABC, NBC, and everywhere else. The guy can't help it if he has a familiar sounding name. They all get nicknames.

I can remember a few.

Dubya
Slick Willie
Poppy
The Gipper'
"Jimmy" Carter
"Jerry" Ford aka Mr. Nice Guy
Tricky Dick
LBJ
The King of Camelot
Ike
High Tax Harry
FDR
Honest Abe aka Happy Jack
Mad Tom
King John II
The Father of our Country

Don't know what will stick to the new guy. I hear BHO a lot.

I can see him being called Barry by friends and relatives. Probably called that as a child.

I think something more hip since he's black would work better.

Like Bam Bam or Snoop Doggy Obo:D

BHO is used A LOT.

LOL well if talking like that means one's a bigot, then so be it, almost all my friends talk with a southern accent and I certainly don't associate them as bigots, by nature of my association with them. Does the term mean something else to people in other parts of the country perhaps. But I never use it or any variation of it to expand a point I'm making as I've seen here repeatedly with Osama-Obama, Hussen Osama blah blah

Just curious, was you born in Texas?

I saw it and when the guy mentioned Hussien the crowd was very fired up . To me its the same thing as if this happened. Imagine if President Truman's middle name was Adolf. and then Dewy started to continuously use his middle name as if to associate Truman to Nazis or Facist.. It would be the same thing.

No it wouldn't. You say "Adolf", but "Hitler" would be a more accurate analogy(Adolf HITLER and Saddam HUSSEIN). Why would a crowd be "fired up" if someone used his actual middle name? He was born with the name, but the use of it was not PC during the election because of today's political correctness culture and a possible association with a terrible dictator. That is a reprehensible result of any media outlet and persons' response to today's political correctness based on not being able to trust that people can make up their own minds... on their own.

I've heard Barry refer to himself as "Barack Hussien Obama" when addressing a crowd on more than one occasion. Is his middle name used negatively? Of course it is. I don't think many people based their vote on it though.

Yes, Obama has used his full name much more recently, after the elections. He used it at will when addressing Muslim countries but here in the United States it is still considered "off-limits". Why is that? He himself sees his OWN name a liability at home(for elections) but chooses to use it at his political behest. Sad but true.:(
