RUTHERFORD Hayes; Warren GAMALIEL Harding; Franklin DELANO Roosevelt. We've had Presidents with

[Aristus]

weird names before. It's not like Barack Obama is that unusual.

[madinmaryland]

1. What would William Shakespeare say about the debate?

:hi:

[Aristus]

2. Will might have said of McCain:

"His humour was nothing but mutation, aye, and that from
one bad thing to worse."

Cymbeline, Act IV, Scene 2, Lines 132-134.

[Zomby Woof]

3. and GROVER Cleveland!

[elshiva]

4. I like "Gamaliel." Wasn't that St. Paul's teacher according

to the Book of Acts? :hi:

[Critters2]

5. He was! Also found in the Talmud. Same guy. nt

[elshiva]

7. Thank you.

:hi: :yourock: :hug:

[Oldtimeralso]

8. All this time I thought it was a town in Arkansas.

[UTUSN]

6. That was my point in my thread about 5 or 6 Black presidents BEFORE:

Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Coolidge (can you beLIEVE it?), Harding, Eisenhower.



A poster said the thread was "unhelpful." Au contraire: It DEFLATES the CORE opponents of OBAMA, the closet racists, because it makes race irrelevant: 3 brilliant (1 with qualification), one totally fucked, and one mediocre.

9. During Roosevelt's era the right wing tried to say

he was Jewish and that Roosevelt was really an Anglicized form of Rosenfeld...Oy vey!

Little has changed in the hate arena.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. Did they say the same thing about Teddy Roosevelt?

Who was in their party (though admittedly not as vile as most Repukes)

Actually I think I remember reading some white supremacist crap several years ago that implied Hillary Clinton's family name was actually "Rodenhurst" and not "Rodham". This was before there was an internet (at least as we now know it) so I can't imagine a bunch of shaved heads with two digit IQ's actually doing whatever research was needed to uncover such a thing. :shrug:

[old mark]

11. What the fuck kind of name is "Rodenhuirst".

Can't these jerks even make up a better psuedo-jewish name?

[ikojo]

15. If they had any brains and knew anything about Jewish surnames

they would realize that most came from what the person did for a living (Glazer), their father's first name (Abramowitz for example), or the town they came from (Moskowitz, Berliner, Belzer etc).

[old mark]

18. "If they had any brains"....Listen to yourself.

If they had any fucking brains they would have been Democrats.

[noonwitch]

13. FDR descended from the same Mayflower passenger I did

Richard Warren. That doesn't exclude a jewish ancestor (I have a few, much closer than we used to think, on my mom's side), but it does establish his northeastern blue blood fairly well.

[rug]

12. Milhous.

[Richardo]

14. Baines

[terrya]

16. We had a President named Millard, for goodness' sake.

[skygazer]

17. Beat me to it

Not many names stranger than Millard Fillmore.

[Taverner]

19. Hey - you gotta admit - Ba-RAWK just sounds fucking cool

If we are just talking about the sound of the name, Barack just SOUNDS sooo cool....

[Crabby Appleton]

20. Rutherford Birchard Hayes
