It's wrong when intended to draw attention to the fact that it's an Islamic name. Like when that dip%$%$%$%$ moring radio host Quinn says Barak HUUUSSSEEIINNN Obama, then mentions about how al Qaeda is out to kill us.
It's fearmongering and bigotry. I wonder how many even know what McCain's middle name is?

Newsflash - negative ads have been around as long as there have been political ads. And it's not just the Republicans, although some here would have you believe that.

I'm not here to say that the Dems don't distort or go negative, but the GOP has taken it to an artform. It's like a relentless stream of complete BS, then blame the media for reporting it.
