more racism and rage

At a rally in Minnesota on Friday, a woman told McCain: "I don't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's an Arab."

McCain shook his head and said, "No ma'am, no ma'am. He's a decent family man...[a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. That's what this campaign is all about."

Wow, racist much. I can't even begin to process this shit.

Yeah, I happened to walk into the living room when they were covering it on CNN earlier today. It's just sickening that McCain's commercial people are totally encouraging that sort of thinking. I know he's said he doesn't agree with it, but that just makes it worse since one of his commercials states Barak's name as "Hussein Barak Obama". (Yeah, with the middle name first). And linking him with that guy who turned out to be a terrorist long after he had known him. Even worse the CNN crew caught up with the lady after the event. And she said she didn't like Obama because he was Muslim. They had to correct her and tell her he was Christian.

It's just spooky how prejudice people can be.
