McCain: Obama is a decent person

John McCain was booed by his own supporters during a rally on Friday after he described Barack Obama as a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States. McCain was responding to a town hall attendee who claimed he was concerned about raising a child under a president who cohorts with domestic terrorists such as [Bill] Ayers. Despite the fact that McCain and his campaign have repeatedly used Ayers to hammer Obama in recent days, the Arizona Senator tried to calm the man. [Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States, he said, before adding: If I didnt think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldnt be running.

>he's a Muslim

Earth calling Mars ... check your facts.

He isn't.

And even if he was, it should make no difference.

>Arab is the new word for nigger..

Agree.

Im more concerned by the point that calling someone an Arab can be used as such a stereotype than that Obama was insulted.

Perhaps "Arab" = Dirty Jew for the 21st Century.

Theres no place for any of it.

@mattwardman You agree ?

Hundreds of thousands of arabs kidnapped from their homelands, taken to the US to work for free under the whip, stripped of all human right and put in the back of any bus ?

Africans didn't do shit to deserve what came onto them, they didn't fly planes into buildings because satan/god told them to, they hadn't declared war on civilisation since 1400 years ago ...

You better think again, fool.

That's the same lady from Harold and Kumar that yelled, "TERRORIST!!!!", when Kumar took a hit from that bong.

Based on just her hair, you know that's the one you don't hand over a microphone to, unless you want some comedy. Yes, give 'crazy lady' the mic and let the laughter begin.

Just some uneducated old lady i noticed these oldies believe anything u tell them and hate arabs for reasons they dont even know i just hope this conflict ends i remember my trip to america being nice with kind people i dont want to go there and see people like her.

She does not say anything good about Republicans because she hates them.

Fox does a lot of straight news and people usually have a beef with Hannity and O'Reilly as you demonstrated.

The difference between a Hannity, who is a conservative and a Olbermann is that Keith is far-left. Called Bush all kind of names.. dispicable. Hannity doesn't lie, he just presents a conservative commentary. Keith doesn't care about the truth only his ideology.

O'Reilly is more of a mixed bag.

Yeah, it's a pretty good bet that Rachel voted for Obama (I'm not sure if she's ever said so). And yes, she is fairly liberal. Of course, the news network you watch does the exact same things as MSNBC does. If you're going to put Rachel (and, I'm assuming, Keith Olbermann) up as an example of left-wing unfairness, I can easily counter with Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly as examples of right-wing unfairness.

Finally, notice (again) that Rachel acknowledged that McCain corrected the Arab comment.

What remarks are you talking about?

It's obvious this woman voted for Obama. The beef a lot of people have with her, and MSNCB channel, is that they don't even try to be fair. They're pushing ideology. For example: rarely do you see a conservative mentioned in a positive light. I've never seen it. If you find any evidence of that I'd like to see it.

It was a very corageus thing he did, yet it's an incident and they use an grumpy photo of him.

I don't watch Faux Noise, I watch Fox News.

[eruleptanero]

You seem to think that the few instances when McCain reined in his supporters outweigh the many instances when he let them shout disparaging things (and made a few remarks of his own). The real world, however, doesn't work that way.

Also, listen to the clip again. Rachel says nothing bad about McCain - in fact, she acknowledges that he refused to let this particular slur stand. There was no negativity directed toward McCain here.

Finally, let me ask - you don't watch Faux Noise, do you?

[xleax]

Huh? McCain defended Obama and yet this anchor still manages to spin the story to shed more negative light on McCain.

Remember, he defended the guy who this anchor was in the tank for. And what does he get? More bad press. It's not news. It's MSNBC.
