Hussein means handsome in Arabic

Because the purpose of it is to falsely allude to him as being a Middle Eastern Muslim like terrorists.

It's a method to trigger racism in racists.

[KostasKouvalis]

They're trying to say that he's Muslim and therefor an enemy of the state

It's more about the birth certificate conspiracy. Then ignoring all evidence of said birth certificate. that then turn into saying the whole name "just because." Wink wink.

Don is not sly in any way. You are even worse. This sneaky racism is what gets you guys in trouble. Don't be a coward and be openly racist. Tank the punch in the face and people will respect you more.

At the same time we do have the second amendment. So maybe the cowardness is justified.

This is commonly called a dog whistle. The whole point is not to be noticeable except for the intended audience.

For a common audience one "dog whistle" dosen't have racist overtones. You need multiple like a history of racist objections. Then you clean it up give a dog whistle into the clean up version. Wink wink, remember everything else i said and never apologize for? Wink wink.

"dog whistle" - very good. I did not know that. I must remember that.

[NaultD]

Dog whistles have been falling out of favor in favor for the last decade because it's acceptable to be openly racist because of don. They're lines that they won't cross.

The truth isn’t bigoted. Stupid people just use that as an excuse.

Who made up that rule? It's the first time I've ever heard of anything so stupid. Besides, his name is Barry Soetoro.

[strateguy632]

because his middle name is hussein and we are not allowed to say anything about islam.

[DonaldDarko]

I never heard that but I wouldn't be surprised if some weirdo said it.

[jjr23]

well its truth. and people in law always use full names

[Anonymous]

Because it's irrelevant to whatever point they are making

[SmokinAces2000]

Because we aren’t stupid and the plausible deniability isn’t so deniable

[Dargil]

Making him into a victim.

[slatyb]

Because they don't do that with anyone else.

[exitseven]

it was Obama who was the real bigot.

[loveslongnails]

They're just magats. Pay them no mind.
