That's where I think you're wrong. When Cunningham called Obama by his full name at the McCain rally (who McCain actually had met prior to then, though he denied it), it had much of the same effect that the NY Times story had on McCain. Some of the conservatives jumped to his defense even though they didn't support him, just because they viewed it as an attack from the left. Even Rush Limbaugh defended him. Rush Limbaugh defended John McCain!
Karl Rove even stated that using Obama's full name would be a bad idea, and I think it would have much the same would happen if McCain or the GOP in general started using his full name. They wouldn't do it because they figured out really quickly how bad it backfired the first time, so they won't even think of doing that again.
And what in the world gave you the idea that Barack Obama is Muslim? He is a Christian, he was sworn in on the Bible, and has talked about it in debates and has it's own section on his website.
