@ KStone
AKA Smith has a point though. At best, it was tacky and claims of sensitivity are rich coming from people who've been claiming for months that anybody who says Obama's middle name is racist.
First, as far as I can tell from her comments, AKA Smith wouldn't know a legitimate point if it slapped her on the ass and called her "sugar."
Second, as has already been mentioned, nobody posting here has any idea what sort of relationship McGovern has with the Clintons. Maybe the only reason he and Hillary are acquainted at all is because of his association with Bill. You know, sort of like Hillary and the rest of America.
Third, I don't think that obsessing over Obama's middle name is racist. I think it's a transparent attempt to push the "secret Muslim" meme and capitalize on the racism of bigoted morons, but it's not racist in and of itself.
