"Outraged" is incorrect - but Repos have been targeting it
since last year. Why? Cause it's "Hussein"; remind you of anybody? Here's just one recent sample:
On the April 12 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, Richard "Bo" Dietl, a private investigator and former New York City Police Department detective, repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) middle name while discussing controversial comments by Don Imus on the April 4 edition of Imus in the Morning. Referring to Obama's call for Imus to be fired, Dietl, who was a regular guest on Imus' program, stated: "Obama Hussein. Barack Obama -- what's that guy's name? The three names? The full name?" Fox News business correspondent Rebecca Gomez answered, "Oh, I'm not even sure," and Dietl said: "Hussein. Hussein's his middle name."
[...]
As Media Matters for America noted, The Washington Post in a January 28 editorial described the needless use of Obama's middle name as a "sleazy tactic." The Post noted that Obama does not use his middle name and argued that people "who take pains to insert it when referring to him are trying, none too subtly, to stir up scary images of menacing terrorists and evil dictators." The editorial stated that using Obama's middle name "would be merely juvenile if it weren't so contemptible," adding that those who employ it "embarrass only themselves."
As Media Matters documented, on the February 2 edition of Imus in the Morning, executive producer Bernard McGuirk claimed that Obama has a "Jew-hating name."

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Well lets see
Moore sat next to a former dem President at the convention. Jackson was a dem candidate for President.
Please find me a reference to Mr Dietl outside of "frequent guest of Don Imus".
I beg of you.
That makes 2 that have never listened to Imus by my count.

I *NEVER* claimed to have listened to Imus
and I never have.
0o0o0hhh someone ran for President. (Cause you know that [link|http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7430681/|Dietl] never ran for the 6th Congressional District or was endorsed by Reagan, Bush and others)
As for attending national conventions...[link|http://www.reflectionsorders.com/view_event.asp?EVENTID=5990|Senator Santorum and Bo Dietl Event 2004 NYC GOP.]

Attend or be featured in prominence?
You're point is getting pretty thin.
Imus made Dietl.
You'd know that if you knew what you were talking about.

You asked for proof
So an "Event" isn't being "Featured Prominently"?

I never have listened to Imus
nor am I "bringing up Bo Dietl as a repo spokesman". I referenced one online article about how The Right is focusing on Obama's middle name to use as a smear against him and as a rallying cry to their herd. Try checking out some of the political blogs for a sample about how The Right brings up his middle name every chance they can create.
And ask yourself "why aren't they talking about anyone else's middle name?"
