    Number of comments: 1
    I love how liberals loved to cry during the Presidential campaign when people would call Barack Obama by his middle name "Hussein." Yet now those same people are calling Gov. Bobby Jindal (R. - Louis.) by his name Piyush.

    It is obviously being used as a racial [...]
