I'm changing my name to Kevyn Hussein Jacobs

Even though I voted for McKinney, I really dislike this nasty habit some Republicans have of calling Obama by his middle name -- as if Hussein was somehow a 'bad' name. Or a scary name. Or something like that. It's really, really distasteful, and shows just how petty, small-minded and ignorant many Republicans are.

Hussein, in Arabic, means "good," or "handsome." [source: Wikipedia] Doesn't sound that scary to me.

So, from now until the election, my name is Kevyn Hussein Jacobs.

Grow up, Americans.

(Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tianas_knife for pointing this movement out to me on Facebook!)

You're both good and handsome.

I think the Republicans are hoping that people are unintelligent.

Awww, thank you!

> I think the Republicans are hoping that people are unintelligent.

Yep. The whole system is predicated on people not being informed. So only people like me, who actually WORK to be informed have any idea about what's really going on.

The greatest threat to the imperial oligarcy that is the United States is an educated populace.
