The big issue here is that he and others keep repeating Obama's middle name Hussein. While calling him by all 3 names is not insulting him in any way, the reason they are doing it is to confuse people into thinking he is Muslim and hoping that the general anti-Muslim feeling among many Americans will cause him to lose votes. And I can tell you it is working, especially in the Jewish community.
My parents had some company over a couple of weeks ago -- all Jewish people in their 50s and 60s and all educated retired professionals. When the subject came up, about half of those in the room said they would not vote for Obama because he is Muslim. When I told them he is a Christian, they said they did not believe that and expressed that they believe he is really Muslim and has been hiding it in order to get elected. A few of them also said they believe he is an anti-Semite and is a supporter of Louis Farrakhan.
Now where do you suppose all of these intelligent people conjured up these beliefs? It is obviously a result of misinformation by right wing hacks like this guy.
