mccain to supporter: no ma'am, obama is not an arab
Published Oct. 11, 2008
As noted below, today's McCain event was awfully surreal, and here's some video of the best moment -- McCain grabbing the mic away from a woman who says she's scared of Obama because he's an "Arab"...

One thing that's intriguing: How quickly the crowd goes from booing McCain's demand that his supporters respect Obama to cheering his claim that that's how politics should be conducted in America. The crowd swung from booing the sentiment to cheering it in seconds.
Also: It's hard to see how his current appearance today doesn't cut against him, should his campaign amp up the attacks on Ayers (and, potentially, Wright) in the home stretch. But he was boxed in and had no choice but to do this.

You can't have it both ways, either the Republicans are smart and control all the money or they are dumb. At least McCain's rallies don't sound like gospel church sermon. I wonder at the end of Obama speaking that someone doesn't get up and say "Can't I get an Amen, for out savior!?!"
