Palin Knocked for Dropping ‘H-Bomb’

The liberal Talking Points Memo issued the “H-Bomb“ designation after Sarah Palin referred to the President as ”Barack Hussein Obama.” Okay fine. Palin can defend herself on that count if she wants to. But I’d like to know the answer to the larger point Palin was making:

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 12:27pmI think it is a little disingenuous to suggest that use of Obama’s middle name is always some inoccuous recitation of “his whole name”. While it is certainly not true that any recitation of his complete name is by necessity grounded in an attempt to paint him as “the other”, connect him to Saddam, or denigrate him as “not very American”. What is also not true however is that those very things aren’t precisely why some choose such a reference.
And yes, it does matter who is using it and why. This idea that only “the right people” can use it is incomplete. I would suggest that anyone can use it,but the opposition is centered on any attempts.to use his name as some sort of message in and of itself.
It’s really the perfect scenario. I think people know precisely why it’s occasionaly opposed, but can then just hide behind the “dumbfounded” looks and “confusion” about what it so wrong with “just using his whole name.”.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 12:56pmSo could Talking Points Memo, Media Matters, or the reconstituted JournOList issue a daily memo, letting us know when it is or is not appropriate to use the President’s middle name? Maybe they can do an alternate day thing — it’s okay on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and alternate Sundays, but never on a Tuesday. Or perhaps simply issue an edict that only certain people (but obviously not those evil teabaggers!) are allowed to utter his middle name?
“kay, thanks!
Either it‘s okay to say it or it isn’t. You can’t have it both ways. Can’t be okay for some people to use it but not others. So stop playing the victim card with the man’s middle name. Hey, how about this strategy: stop playing the victim card, period.
As pointed out in the article, the left has basically reduced us to talking about the use of his middle name in order to keep folks from thinking about the validity of Mrs. Palin’s point. Which was their intention all along.
So enough about Barry’s middle name. Let‘s discuss how the MSM couldn’t be bothered to properly vet the guy before they decided to convince the country to vote for him, which, btw, the latter wasn’t their job…

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 1:39pm1.) I’ve never thought sarcasm was a good substitute for reasoned arguments.
2.) I’m not TPM or the liberal media. As such, you really didn’t address my points.
3.) This doesn’t demand a double standard at all. I have close friends who can say things to my wife (because I know them and precisely why they are saying it) that I would be infuriated if something else noted. It isn’t a double standard to suggest that the exact same words in different contexts and from different sources mean vastly different things.
4.) Here’s at least one viable response that gets to the heart of this faster then all of these “dumbfounded” responses. “I fully understand some use Obama’s middle name as a wedge and to denigrate him, but based on X and Y, I don’t think Palin was doing that at all.” Another approach would be to simply lay out why conservative leaders use his middle name and perhaps why Palin was using it here.
5.) People can use his middle name all they want. I don’t think it should be censored. All I’m asking is that people stop insulting the intelligence of the readers by suggesting this is all some innocuous recitation of his name disconnected from any other intent whatsoever.
My bottom line is this: The disingenuity is dripping off of many of these responses. You don’t have to insult my intelligence (general comment) to address the heart of the concerns above.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 1:41pmImputing sinister motives to others is generally considered low class and vulgar.
His name *is* Barrack Hussein Obama. It *is* the tradition in America to refer to a President by his full name. He *did* choose that very name for himself.
Whatever “message” exists is purely imaginary. To impugn the entire American population by suggesting they are pavlovian simpletons who can be swayed negatively by someone’s middle name is reprehensible, and gives a much more negative “message” about the person who suggests it.
Like yourself, for instance.

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 7:49pm1.) If people should be offended, by all means it should be a result of their positions being taken on in a transparent and direct way. That has nothing to do with using someone’s name as a wedge.
2.) I‘m not the liberal media and I’m not part of some amalgamation of “liberals”. I honestly believe that much of the divisive rhetoric could be lessened, were we to simply respond to individuals as contrasted with lumping everyone from “the other side” into one entity and then suggesting either implicitly or explicitly that each person can be attached to the worst elements of the grouping.
3.) Having grown up a conservative, I’m probably not that far removed from how conservatives think. I still have discussions with strong conservatives who I have a tremendous amount of respect for. (Who quite frankly would have absolutely no part of the tone of much of the above discourse.)
4.) I have no interest in specifically calling anyone a racist. What I will suggest once again however that I simply don’t buy some of this “dumbfoundedness.” as if the only reason anyone ever uses Obama’s middle name is out of respect or tradition. But yes, I absolutely believe it can be used in a racist manner. (Something that seems to never gain any level of concession.) I actually think there’s some middle ground here.
5.) It is certainly just my opinion, but yes, I absolutely believe that Palin was using his name for political expediency. I recognize however that it certainly can’t be proved one way or the other. And I’ll end where I started: I think that the frequent “I’m just using his whole name” defense is disingenuous.
You don’t have to listen to commentators on the left or the right to realize there seems to be a consensus that “nicknames” attached to “the other side” are beneficial to their cause. (Yes, I‘m fully aware Hussein isn’t a nickname, but it isn’t central to my point.)

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 7:56pm@Prospero (Generally)
.) “Imputing sinister motives” Beyond the delightful irony of such a comment in this context, it seems somewhat hyperbiolic. I don’t think that everyone who disagrees with Obama is racist. . .not even close. But I do however think that the degree of opposition from some is absolutely predicated on racism. It seems to follow based on your above assertion that such a statement would as well “impute sinister motives”. (Or be a very effective framework for simply shutting down debate.)
2.) As to “impugning” the entire American population. You either disregard my point or are erecting a straw man of your own. Here’s what I absolutely believe. Both liberals and conservatives are well aware that the words they use and the messages they craft will sway public opinion. It’s not an issue of moving everyone, but the reality that they can sway some. I don’t have to impugn the entire American population to believe that some can absolutely be swayed by a message that, in part, uses a foreign sounding name. If aspects of this weren‘t true Frank Luntz and many others wouldn’t have a job.
3.) As to sarcasm. If arguments peripheral to my point are “adjunct” and preclude the possibility of substitution then perhaps you have a viable point. As the point I was addressing had not “adjunct” “non-sarcasm”, I made the point I did.
4.) It seems that these argument tend to focus exlusively on the opposite poles. Either everyone that opposes Obama is a racist, or there is a complete denial that racism can even be a part of the equation. Similarily, one side seems to suggest that even using “Hussein” demands bigotry, while the “other side” suggests that it isn’t even possible to use his name in a divisive manner and the simple suggestion that this would absolutely work on a portion of the populace leads to the claim the entire American populace has been impugned. I’ll say it again. I think it‘s highly disingenous to claim that this doesn’t ever happen, just as it is also faulty to suggest that it’s use demands bigotry.
5.) It seems to me that using sophisticated phrasing, or words like “imputing” and “adjunct” gets rendered somewhat useful when you stoop to calling someone a *******. Fortunately, no one on this board or any American will be persuaded by this obviously irrelevant name calling.

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 6:29pmBelow are a couple of quotes from Saul Alinski’s book, “ The Rules of Radicals”. This book is the bilble of the progressive left, When they have no facts to back up their points, they attack and velify. President Barrack Hussein Obama ran as a unifier, and called himself the president of all Americans, Democrats and Republicans; as far as I’m concerned he has divided our country by vilifying everyone that disagrees with him.
A quote from L David Alinsky, son of Saul Alinski: “Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.” –Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky
A couple of quotes from Saul Alinski’s book “Rules of Radicals”.
“Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. … Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves.” p.126
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’…
“…any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?‘ When your ’freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments…. Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target…’
“One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.” (pps.127-134)

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 10:53amSo The Obamasiah has changed his name twice? If it was originally Obama, then he changed it to Soetero when he was ADOPTED by an INDONESIAN citizen, then changes it back to Obama in college (in his words “ to become a part of something larger”), then it appears that he purposely wanted the entire name to be applied to him. I would like to know how he is still considered an American citizen, when his father was a Kenyan citizen and his mother, being only 17 and incapable of providing him with citizen status in the USA due to her being a minor, married an Indonesian man who adopted him, (Now transferring his citizenship from Kenya to Indonesia), then he claims to be an American citizen without having to do anything to transfer his citizenship from Indonesia to the USA. He traveled to Afghanistan or Pakistan in the early 1980′s on an Indonesian passport (which implies Indonesian citizenship) when according to the laws of the United States, he could not have obtained an Indonesian passport legally if he was a US citizen. Dual citizenship is not allowed to US citizens, so did he commit fraud?
Report Post »The majority of Americans disagree with the placement of the mosque so close to the footprint of the twin towers. I saw a 60% figure posted. That is a safe figure as some polls placed it in the low to mid 70%. With the Muslims history of building “victory mosques” and with the “Cordoba” name associated with it, you only have to look at the history of Cordoba and the unjust treatment of the Christians by the Muslims after the Muslims conquered the area.
I think that PickUp is either a liberal plant, an 11thyear college student still living in his mommy’s basement, or he works for a liberal blog or other biased media. He has all of the talking point together, and he can only wrap his mind around the things that go with the approved media bylines. He seems to have the partial truths available to those in the MSM, but he doesn’t seem to be able to remember history (the “Dubyah” label for Bush being used to make him sound stupid) or investigate beyond the talking points to find out the complete facts about an issue that show most of the liberal rants to be erroneous.
Illegal immigration is a LEGAL issue, not a racial one. People of all races and nationalities cross the borders illegally.
Obama included Hussein when he changed his name in college, so any use of it is not racial, bigoted or defamatory. .

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 12:28pmThe “anti-colonialism” comes straight out of Obama’s own autobiography “Dreams from my Father”. The way his Kenyan relatives described the British authorities‘ treatment of Obama’s grandfather informed BHO Sr.’s attitude toward Britain. That BHO Jr. returned the bust of Churchhill before his chair in the Oval got warm confirms that he has internalized that opinion.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 12:28pmVIC138, the big deal and why people find it offensive is that there is a strong racial divide in this country as seen by the illegal immigration coverage and the debate over the Cultural Center near Ground Zero. The rhetoric that has been used against Muslims has shown great hostility between us and ‘them,’ even more severe than it was following the attacks of 9/11. And the sad part is that Islam is a part of modern American culture and we shouldn’t disregard. Mocking President Obama’s middle name is not simply in good fun, it is part of creating a caricture of ‘foreigners’ or those people who we call ‘un-American‘ that should not be based on one’s name or religion.

I think you’re missing the point– which is that Sarah Palin makes her living by creating division and saying things to get people hyped up. A lot of people on both political sides do this. So when she says Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama, is she saying it out of respect for the President because she really wants to emphasize his full name or is it because she wants people to view the President negatively? You decide. I do feel like its inflammatory though I’m not making a big deal about it. I do understand why people would think she is saying it to invoke negativity though.

Its sad but to address an actual point, VIC, I think its like what Mr. Beck said on his radio program not too long ago (I’m paraphrasing). “Why would the President go by the name Barack if he was trying to relate with Americans?” Glenn asked. And I think that is the reason people call him by his full name– to create this sense of separation between ‘normal’, ‘traditional’ Americans and the ‘other people.’ Concerning illegal immigration, I do believe it calls for discussion and I respect anyone’s opinion on the matter. All I am saying is that often times we become irrational in our emotions as they can become inflamed and often these topics which require a great deal of sensitivity are terribly mishandled.

First of all, Freelancer if that’s not the address then what is? And who cares? You make accusations about the funding of the project. Do you hold a group of American Muslims in New York City to the same amount of immense scrutiny that you do with the funding of any other church, mosque, or in this case, cultural center? Why not? Why not press to see the business dealings of any other private organization? Cause from what I can tell, there were quite a few crimes committed on Wall Street and a hell of a lot of Americans adversely effected. Or how about the private companies getting contracts in the Middle East and their connections with the media and the BILLIONS of dollars being made in profit during this war while American troops are maimed and killed. See, I have questions too. I’m angry as well. But do you see where all are focus and energy is going these days? Against a group of AMERICANS who have done NOTHING wrong and are simply being singled out because their MUSLIM? I never said Americans were dumb, and I agree, I wish more moderate Muslims would pubicly be heard fighting along side us in the war on terrorism. But let me ask you another question. Will you protest any Catholic church that is built within 2 blocks of a playground?
BUCK OBAMA, what links does the imam have with terrorist organizations? Name one. What does his personal condemnation of Hamas have to do with anything? The imam has continually spoken against terrorism and the crisis of Islamic sentiment toward America. And lastly you say it is a “victory mosque”? How disrespectful to the American lives that were killed on 9/11. Shame on you. Many of them were Muslim living in New York City and you ought to feel terrible for telling their families that a place for worship near where their loved ones died is a ‘victory mosque.’ Oh, and guess what? There already was a mosque on Ground Zero. It was in the World Trade Center. Didn’t know that, did you?
And yes, Broker I did that know that. And your point is what? I’m sure the American ashes of innocent Muslims are also on that building. You doing to desecrate them to?
If you call yourself a patriot, someone who would die for American values, let alone fight for them in simple discourse on the internet, please… defend the constitution. This is a nation of FREEDOM and a nation of LAWS. That goes for ALL Americans, not just the ones who belong to your faith.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 1:44pm@ Pickup,
What connection does “Hussein” have with the “anti-colonial stereotypes?
Also, I missed the part where anyone was mocking his middle name.
It’s funny you denounce rhetoric in one breath and spew it in another, highlighting the red herrings that have been the liberal talking points on the issues:
Perhaps the coverage of the illegal should have been like MSNBC accusing the Arizona Law of making illegal immigrants… illegal?
Debate over GZM has racial lines? Really? Somehow I was mistaken and thought it had something to do with common sense, courtesy and bridge-building. That’s not to say that there aren’t anti-Islamists, and obviously, they are going to resist the GZM too. But, I think it is safe to say that the majority of the majority (you know the 60% who oppose the GZM ) are just offended by the proximity of the mosque to the site where radicals of the same religion slaughtered nearly 3000 Americans. Maybe we recognize that those that dawn the mantle of a Holy War have historically and MAYBE COINCIDENTALLY (because coincidence is about the only thing that will save most lib talking points, including the defense of Obama’s anti-capitalist ties) built a mosque on the ruins of those they conquered and MAYBE we refuse to give them that satisfaction. Mind you, a lot of people here prayed and worshipped side-by-side with Muslims and celebrated the religious leaders INCLUDING IMAMS at our 8-28 rally.
Our problem is not with foreigners. Our problem is with the animosity toward the power, wealth prosperity and sovereignty of the United States. As a matter of fact you may find most of us welcome foreigners and L E G A L immigration. It infuses our country with a afresh appreciation of our liberties and with more diversity. Like my father. His country was taken over by socialists and fell into hyper-inflation (Chile in the 70’s). He knows what the rise of socialism looks like and truly values the freedoms we have here.
Racially divided? I mean I see Obama specifically calling out Blacks and Hispanics. It seems libs like labels like African-American and Hispanic-American redneck/hick. We rather just say American. Division starts with categorizing those that we want to divide.
The amazing people at the 8-28 rally extended nothing but love to my girlfriend and I (we are both what your ilk would refer to as Hispanic-Americans).
The rally was important to us because we were watching our world through the TV. We saw CNN/MSNBC saying one thing about Tea Partiers (racists/hate and fear spewers) and what Fox news was saying (Average Americans). We decided to go see for ourselves. God Bless the 100’s of thousands of people who declared in deed who we were.
Furthermore, I don’t think leaving Hussein out makes Barak Obama’s name sound any less foreign. Interestingly, the fact that someone named Barak Hussein Obama can be elected by the American People is further testimony against the very divide you invoke NOT to say his middle name.
I welcome dissent :) It’s what I am doing!

Following that logic then every time Reagan’s middle name was use it was done to insult the Irish. Or Nixon middle name was used only to insult the Quakers. Perhaps that logic professes even that Kennedy’s meddle name was used to insult Catholics.
It is easy to see how that logic is flawed beyond reason. By advancing such a clearly flawed concept you are showing your true intention is race baiting and hate mongering.

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 11:39amPICKUP whats the deal. Are you the first shift over there at media matters? What time does pubispencilman come in? I bet he’s got some great liberal talking points you can copy and paste from moveon.org etc. Also-please do your research about Newts ‘statement of his Kenyan’ origination’-It Never happened. If your going to just assume that based on an irrelevant statement Gibbs made in a press conference I’d like to see you actually quote what Gingrich said. Pubis was also on here yesterday trying to use out of context statements and one liners from the lefty websites ‘talking points’. Just a Friendly warning-These guys are well informed-and educated. They will shred you. So I suggest you ask your supervisor there at Media matters to give you an easier assignment. I would also state that it is the left’s attempt at making every issue in the public forum divisive by making everything about race and racists. Its just not working for you anymore-please refer to your little satanic Cloward and Piven manual for further instructions…

Sarah Palin, along with her far-right Fox News colleagues, has had a history of making bigoted remarks (example: defending Laura Schlessinger’s repeated use of the N-word), and her usage of President Obama’s middle name is only to re-enforce the “Kenyan, anti-colonial” stereotype of Mr. Obama that has been pushed by the likes of Newt Gingrich. To deny this shoes enormous naivety on your parts.
Question? Who is talking about shoes?? Read your last sentence, dingy!

He needs all the help in smearing his name. He isn’t doing a good enough job by himself.
