in an editorial published yesterday and captioned "grandstanding in the big easy" (see link) we noticed how the first line began:
"U.S. Sens. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Barak Hussein Obama of Illinois paid a visit to New Orleans Monday."naturally, we are curious as to why the editors chose, in this instance, to use senator obama's full name -- after all they didnt use senator joseph isadore lieberman's full name. it seems that the editors by printing "hussein" are subliminally suggesting that senator obama has some connection to saddam hussein or muslims (sen. obama is not muslim) or terrorism etc. tacky, tacky. especially when one considers that just eight days previously on 22 january 2007 the ouachita citizen's editor, sam hanna, in his editorial here practically called everyone who doesnt vote for or support la. governor candidate piyush "bobby" jindal a racist.
