On Ebay--"Choose new middle name for Barack HUSSEIN Obama"
this was put up by a freeper


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220207403338&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123

scroll down to the bottom of page, under "other options" click "report this item" and read their description under "prohibited items (banned items)" and then "offensive and potentially offensive items" and then "hateful, discriminatory or racial language in an item description"

their Offensive Material Policy they state: "Sellers may not list items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance, or items that promote organizations with such views." if you click on the show line it states: "eBay will judiciously disallow listings or items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance,"

no matter which candidate you support--this kind of crap is offensive. imo it definitely glorifies "hatred" and "racial or religious intolerance"


please contact ebay customer support and report this auction:


ebay item # 220207403338

1. What's wrong with Hussein?
It happens to be my middle name.

i was reading douggie's little q&a section and i actually learned something new! we are referred to as the "RAT underground"



Boon: Jesus Christ! What happened? You look grotesque!
Otter: Some Omegas danced on my face.
Boon: Who was it?
Otter: It was Greggie and Douggie...and some of the other Hitler youth.
Boon: What did you do?
Otter: I don't know. They're just animals, I guess.

3. Freepers are stupid. There is nothing wrong with the name - but Obama has encouraged
that thought by calling out anyone who uses it.
