Messed up Obamamaniacs, Example #17
Ann Althouse"'My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name,' said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who changed her name online 'to show how little meaning "Hussein" really has.'" She's one of those young Obama supporters who've adopted "Hussein" as their middle name. I assume they see themselves as good-hearted and idealistic, but: 1. How did you become estranged from your own name, to regard it as opposed to yourself as vanilla, white, female, and American, and to think of that combination in a negative way? 2. Why do you think the name "Hussein" has little meaning and that people who have that name appreciate your demonstration that is has little meaning? You're propagating the idea that "Hussein" is a dirty word associated only with Saddam Hussein that ought to be deactivated by repetition, as opposed to an honorable name within a respected tradition. I assume Ashley Hussein Whitebread-Vanilla will be roundly condemned at Obama's "Fight the Smears" website for propagating the slanderous meme that Obama is a closet Moslem.
