Why he's getting a free pass on a supposed pro-gun board while others with much better records than his are torn to shreds with impunity I'll leave an as exercise for the reader.
He's certainly not getting a free pass from me. I think he's another product of the Daley machine, an ultra-liberal borderline Marxist with no substance, and I'd rather gargle broken glass than vote for him or see him in the Oval Office.
However, I think of all the reasons to oppose him, his middle name and his daddy's religion are among the least important, and trying to hammer the point home by constantly referring to him by his full name is an insulting exercise in agitprop.
The guy has so many other issues that can be legitimately attacked that harping on his name, or the fact that his daddy was a Muslim, is is just about the least intelligent approach imaginable.
Me? I think there's a remote possibility that Obama's cultural heritage should be a candidate for discussion.
And what "cultural heritage" is that? The guy was born in Hawaii, and spent most of his childhood there. The "Obama is teh Muzlim" crowd makes a big deal out of the fact that he spent four years of his childhood in Jakarta with his mom and step-dad, but from all I can read in his biography, his heritage is as unremarkable as anyone else's running for the office this year,
save the fact that his daddy was a.) black, and b.) a Muslim.
Do we now go back to judging people not by their own opinions and actions, but rather by the actions of all their ancestors? There's a word for that kind of attitude, and it's terribly misused and over-used these days, but it fully applies to those who wouldn't vote for Obama because of the way his daddy looked, or the way his daddy worshiped.
