If this is a sign of what kind of people McCain will put in the White House, no thank you I don't want it. Everyone knows that Barack's father was from Africa, so it's not far fetch that he would have a name that's native from his fathers country. This country and Republicans talk about patriotism they must remember Barack is an American born citizen. This kind of dirty talk doesn't sound patriotic to me. Why aren't the talking heads calling this kind of action unpatriotic? This is very hypocritical behavior! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

McCain pretends he runs an honorable campaign, but expect to see this kind of ugly, racist sleaze around him for the next 7 months.

Sorry McCain, as the saying goes, "Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are"

This isn't "typical right-wing", this isn't a normal, average, everyday conservative. Trust me on this- I am one. This is a hack on the air who is spewing his own personal opinion. Yes, it was an official campaign event but McCain's campaign cannot control what the guy says off the cuff. John McCain was right to shut the guy down. Lesson learned- the jock should never appear for McCain again. The Republican-bashing here really needs to stop. This isn't "typical right-wing", this isn't a normal, average, everyday conservative.

He just replayed what he said and I don't think its half as controversial as what he usually says. I agree with what he says. What's wrong with calling someone by their full name? You never hear anything bad on Obama in the media, he's the media's darling. You hear about McCain and his fling with the lobbyist all week but nothing about "Brokeback" Obama's supposed drug-induced fling with Larry Sinclaire, why is that? Cunningham also mentioned in his introduction of McCain about Obama's dealings with Rezco(reported by the Chicago Times) and no other media outlet acknowledges this.

Unless John McCain, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama actually say something shallow or offensive about another candidate, I don't really care and don't hold them accountable for stupid actions of one of their millions of supporters. One person's rant should not reflect their party or candidate, because everyone's supporters are ranting. Isn't everyone tired of media furors over insignificant news?

Men like this Cunningham fellow are only the beginning. The Republicans will attack Obama because his father was a polygamist, he was not raised by a "single mother", but by his mother and his stepfather. The Obama campaign is "faith-based", which is suprising, since most Democrats chide the Republican right of making decisions based on faith. Because the adoration Obama supporters is not based on logic, but on "hope" it will not stand up to criticism by the Republicans, or anyone with facts concerning Obama's record or past decisions.

I dont care what his middle name is anytime his name is on a ballot in front of me he gets my VOTE everytime no questions asked. He can't do any worse than any other white man who has come before him. Have a blessed day. I have never heard Barack cry or complain about people using his middle name.
