John McCain Defends Barack Obama

[HunterHampton]

and the crowd are the same people who voted for bush and they're scared obama is going to be preisdent what the hell!

[He8MyCookies]

so basicly the first 1:05 of this vid says is

Old Lady: I Heard hes a Christian

Mcain: CHRISTIAN!? No, no, no hes a good man... THE FUCK? o.O

[Dynesty101]

This crazy lady makes me laugh , am sure shes benefiting from obamas health reform right now stupid bitch

[eamon4800]

you know u can be against somebody and still have respect for him and thats how i feel about mccain. i mean i never agreed with him but like i still dont hate him like i hated bush like he dickheaded reatard thank god hes gone. i hope him well in the future

[McSwagger830]

at least mccain is repectful....hes a good man even though i disagree with his political views

[incrediblehulkmovies]

McCain let Obama win. He sold out his party.

[aungnumbernine]

that lady was an idiot. stupid bitch

[olafsirpab]

I see this as a small glimmer of the integrity McCain had before he let neoconservatives hijack his campaign.

[darthmyst1]

McCain should have been nomitated 8 years ago instead of Bush

[tacosanyone34]

The same cockheads that voted Bush in for 8 years.

MORONS

[hydrademian]

wtf? woman: obama is an arab. mccain: no he's a decent family man!!! what does this say about mccain's stereotypes on arabs?

[TAPDoink]

As much as I'm pro-Obama and anti-McCain, I don't feel he has stereotypes on it, its just that it is difficult to think the response through entirely in that position

[bluemonk82]

Four big campaign mistakes for McCain: 1. appointing Palin as his running mate, big mistake that's come back to bite him in the ass, 2. suspending his campaign to go "fight" for us in Washington, 3. allowing his campaign to accuse Obama of being a terrorist, and 4. "Joe The Plumber," which nobody gives a damn about and for all we know could have been a Republican plant.

McCain has run one of them most hateful and erratic campaigns in the history of politics.

[bluemonk82]

You have to hand it to McCain for correcting these idiots about Obama. That woman who said Obama is an Arab is one of the problems with the Republican Party. I'm saying the Democratic Party is perfect nor is right on all the issues, but this shows that behind all the attacks, McCain has a guilty conscience for what has been happening in his own campaign.

[MamiiYankee]

I'm not for Mccain, but i DO respect him for that. Many candidates would never do that.

[shervman]

I can't believe the stupid NBC idiot who's actually making fun of McCain for standing up and defending Obama. As a democrat I have to say I'm proud of McCain and ashamed of the NBC guy.

[uwabbit]

Yeah, kudos to McCain for having the balls to correct his own supporters. He's in a tight spot - but there's no reason to completely drag the Republican party through the gutter to try to be president. Our politicians should be held to a high standard - we should all (Democrat or Republican or other) try to hold ourselves up with dignity....Oh, and go Obama!

[CharXiTh]

John Mccain's supporters are retards...

[monopita]

people should have cheered instead for his positive attitude, and then have another reason to vote for him... but 90% of people are too stupid to realize that.

[Calick]

Poor McCain, I think he just noticed that half of his supporters are totally retarded, like that woman.

I do not support him, but he did the right thing at denying those stupid rumors against Obama being an arab, or a terrorist.

[Shubael1809]

First indication to date of McCain being a "maverick".

Even John McCain must be asking himself "who the fuck are these idiots calling Obama an Arab"?

You reap what you sew Senator.

[GUALLACOL]

Backfire happens when the republicans try to attack character.

[GodzFlower360]

What a joke!!! He should've acknowledged and nipped that shit in the bud from the beginning!! To claim to want to hold a respectful campaign now, after the fact, makes him so much more insincere. For him to think people (besides his hateful supporters) can't see through that shit is DISGUSTINGLY INSULTING. Hopefully we'll see him and Carabou Barbie Palin burn for the fire they started and continully fanned on November 4th!!

[Starvy]

Exactly why literacy tests should be apart of voting

[gheldon]

Proof positive that a huge number of McCain supporters are idiots. I can have a little bit more respect for the man now that he is trying to keep things respectful.

[neuronsactivated]

Well done, Mr. McCain. Keep your integrity.

[izaak03]

That women was a retard.

[wehabiwatch]

American Arabs should forget to work in the Government job.

I feel sorry for American Arabs living in the land of freedom and democracy.

[mattbaiyee]

he messed himself up by calling Obama a terrorist since the begining of this nomination and now he is trying to tell his own people that he isnt an terrorist anymore...

And he is also losing 41% to 54% in the polls

Obama 08'

[jpope1313]

I believe Mccain is seeing the writing on the wall. He knows this election is over and is finally earning the maverick nametag. Palin will go back to Alaska and withdraw as gov.

[ochoastl]

did that anchor say "wecent weeks"?

[cannwriter]

This Obama supporter believes that McCain spoke up out of a sense of responsibility, which was good. When people feel scared and desperate, sometimes the ugly side comes out even violence. I believe the senator recognized this and also realized that he might be attracting some who have assumed an us against them posture, which could spell danger. Bipolar? Eratic behavior? Maybe just responsible behavior!

[linusowen]

Independent of McCain's attempt to backpeddle now, it's pathetic that being "an arab" would be held against anyone.

The right-wind "dittoheads" really are bringing this country down. I hold McCain and Palin responsible for the negativity that they've worked so hard to spread.

[williamherbert]

I give McCain a lot of credit for this; he was decent and saying Obama wasn't a Muslim and was a "decent" man was a decent thing to due, befitting of a human being. But he has to remember that he painted himself into this corner with the negative direction of his campaign, and any time you play character assassin, the crazies are gonna come out. This silly dipshit lady in red is just fulfilling the prophecy of fear-based campaigning.

[rustygaver]

Obama isn't an Arab, He's a Thug!!

[TheRealMacGurl]

HE whipped them up - now he's trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Good luck with that....

[Makkitotosimew]

Why is the rebuttal to the suggestion that Obama is Arab that 'he is a decent man?' It is a racist response, because it agrees with the premise that Arabs are indecent!

Sheesh. There's a little thing called the United States Declaration of Independence which states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL..."

People might want to read that some time.

[bluemonk82]

McCain defending Obama? What is he smoking? Is he feeling alright?

This kind of erratic behavior is not what the American people need in the White House.

What next? Will he suspend his campaign again because he's behind in the polls?

[sqreeze]

hes not defending obama, hes just making sure that people don't think hes a fucking terrorist, whats wrong with that.

[bluemonk82]

No, he's defending him, because he knows his campaign has taken some very nasty turns these past couple of months. First, it was picking that dumbass Sarah Palin, who will go down as the biggest joke in presidential history. Second, McCain's "suspension" of his campaign, Third, him not allowing Sarah Palin to answer questions from media, well maybe that wasn't a mistake. Fourth, McCain pointing to Obama during the Town Hall debate and saying "That one." Do I need to go on?

[VoiceOfReezun]

John McCain exhibits signs of having Bi-polar Disorder. And I'm being totally sincere and not trying to be funny.

[number1tactician]

"I don't not..." Listen to this DUMB bitch! This is the kind of trash the republican party is made of. McCain is so sad!

[cxc410]

Look at Senator McCain's face at 2:35 and on, he simply looks to be ashamed or dissapointed. I think this is the real McCain. Just like most politicians, he has been swept away by the tactics of his own party. To me, he looks disappointed maybe even saddened by what is happening.

[kryminalll]

New tactic??. LOL. That old Bitch is a REPUG! These stupid M*th**F**@#!s are so sickening. I guess this means the gap is going to increase.

Americans suffer from Arabphobia..lol

Obama/Biden 08

[SPOT187]

Dumb Rednecks should not be allowed to vote.Seriously I honestly feel that there needs to be a certain I.Q level in ordr to vote.

[DiscoPope2]

At last! The true face of Republicanism. And McCain is such a hypocrite - "this election is about issues". He's spent the last 10 days trying to make it about character. And we've got the video to prove it too! McCain/Palin ticket will prove a gift to the Democrats.

[Qazihussain666]

OMG this old lady remind me Sarah Palin in her 60's

[Qazihussain666]

I bet you both of these racists the guy and the lady are trailer park trash collecting welfare and food stamps coming out of my hard earn tax Dollars. I demand free media should investigate both of these imbaciles and give us report on there back grounds. CHEERS TO SEN McCAIN FOR SLAPPING THESE RACIST ON THE SPOT

[adi87tya]

I thought people were more worried about the economic crisis than negative campaign ads

[andetang]

What goes around, comes around....

[petehjr1]

Even if he was an "Arab" couldn't he still be a decent family man? Yeah his campaign for months has done nothing but try to show Obama as someone to fear. Now he is defending him? Uhmm Yeah. I was just talking to my coworker about this last night and now McCain is finally getting tired of the same campaign crap that tore him down in 2000.

[PaulSebert]

I believe McCain cut the crazy lady off mid sentence. I think she was about to say "Arab Terrorist."

[ezekielthemack]

The woman in red didn't appear to have a brain cell in her head; "he's an Arab"??? Who the hell told you that Obama was an Arab. It is things like this kind of myopic, ignorant and ill educated thinking that continues to tarnish the image of America as a nation. At least McCaine had the decency to refute her accusations.

[iamupnurhead]

If you keep spewing hate it comes home to roost. One McCain supporter yelled "Bomb Obama" others have said "hang him"-- others "He is an Atab"-with our country's history of elections being decided by a bullet than a ballot this is dangerous. People are more concerned about their pocket books and wallets than name calling. A man in England recently shot a black man for wearing an obama T-shirt (truth--look it up it is on UTUBE). What is next shoot obama?

[Ambushofblacks]

unbelieveable, mccain has started a hate group, people are looking at mccain as the KKK leader and now probably are shitting their pants to find out obama isnt as bad as he portrayed. i do respect mccain for sticking up for obama, its his dirty lobbylist and corporations running his campagin

[ajkella]

McCain showed a little bit of class, and his supporters booed him. Way to show respect to your leader. McCain supporters have been booing Obama's issues all campaign long, like it's a game. This is a serious time my fellow citizens.

[sabroo]

im surprised they even aired this clip

[sabroo]

this almost makes me want to vote for mccain now. its amazing how the crowd boos mccain. The ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me but i respect mccain a lot more after this. I also love how msnbc still finds a way to attack mccain after he went out of his way and pissed off his supporters to tell the truth. why didnt they talk about what this says about mccains character that he is willing to tell the truth even while risking losing voters. its ridiculous how biased they are

[petehjr1]

I do not think they "attacked" McCain, they just pointed out that after months of going negative and if not outright propagating outragious lies in the campaign, then at the very least not refutting them. Now that its(the campaign) turning ugly for McCain he is (and I do think John is a decent man)turning against the lies. The same smear machine that tore him down in 2000 against Bush.

[jessecambre]

Mccain finally spoke the truth!!!! Thats what made him a war hero!!! Now go endorse Obama.

[jmelvinjr]

Wow...that's scary, I'm just waiting for someone to call the guy the n-word. We have come a long way but we have a long way to go.
