McCain supporters do the right thing

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Bravo to those McCaininites for standing up to the religious and racial bigotry of one of their own.

Of course, this happened at a McCain/Palin rally in Northern Virginia, which the McCain/Palin campaign has said isn't the "real Virginia".

"The McCain camp doesn't endorse your campaign, sir"



That's awesome

[Zkribbler]

Good for the McCainiacs. Special cudoos for the campaign chair who says he's a Muslim.

This election should be about issues, not about stirring up ethic and religious hatred.

They must have dug deep to find a Muslim who supported McCain given the outright xenophobia of the McCain campaign. Especially via their talking heads.

I(a Jew!) saw McCain give that response to that racist old woman…. ugh. I wanted to go to the nearest mosque and hug a muslim in solidarity. I could not believe he said it :/ Incredibly racist and offensive.

She says Obama is an Arab and McCain's response is that Obama is a good man and a familly man.... you racist piece of ****. The response you should have given is that he is not an arab but it does not matter, that this is the United States of America where race and religion do not matter. I would have respected you for that. Instead you show your true inner core, you racist piece of crap.

I am ashamed that you are a member of my nation, let alone a famed politician with supporters.

Great video.

Saw this video earlier, it was quite refreshing. Young people shaming their bigoted elders is always fun to watch .

They said they were Turkish; it's easy to imagine Turks supporting the party of nationalism and militarism. I'm not even dissing them; I love the Turks. But I'm just saying...

Anyway, fantastic video.

Let's not be so quick to generalize.

I'm sure they got a good laugh when the lady holding up the bumper sticker towards the end said that she didn't want to talk to the press because they distort things. I sure did.

speaking of supporters

In a world that‘s rushing toward the end times prophecy, God will bless the true Christian leader, if we choose wisely. The Prince of Darkness’ blood runs through the veins of the evil doers.

We have been given the blessing of free will to choose our own path for good or evil. This Presidential election is unlike any we have ever had before. Choose wisely!

Pray for this country and that God gives you the will and wisdom to vote for a leader who has the experience, knowledge and intestinal fortitude to lift these United States up and set it back on the true course of Godliness that it has slipped away from in our homes, schools, churches and, most of all, our government!

guess who they support

Yeah, a good video. Goes to show you that there's plenty of reasonable people in all camps. I think it's a good thing to whip your own, rather than let them fly as "rotten apples" or you know, they're idiots but they're our idiots and that everybody has them so we don't care. The best thing to do, IMO, is to whip them yourself, which is exactly what these people did and they did it well. I wish we'd see more this kidn of action inside all groups though. So good for those people

THis is way more constructive than poinjting out idiots in other camps. You can't do anything to change that. What you can do is try to make sure that your own base is better. Let that stand out for you, let it speak for itself. When you clear your own side from maniacs, then you can really point your finger and say, listen, you've got some crazy maniacs right there, and they can't respond. Otherwise people just point other camps saying look, weirdo right there. And they all do that, and that's just silly. Just clear your own base basically, if everyone would just try to focus on that, it would be very constructive. So thsoe people were doing the right thing

I honeslty think that it is better for a campagn even to show that kind of action being done. Not pointing your finger to give an image of "other side has maniacs". But this is way more powerful IMO. It is very good for the campagn. It's not about saying listen, we have crazy people in our ranks, but rather listen, we take care of it. What about you? We are here for the issues, what about you?

They don't think you're a real american unless you are a hick from one of these red states, even then you have to be from the "Southern" part.

McCain is still some what close in the popular vote dispite having no chance to win in electoral votes. That's because he's getting a large majority in the red red states where all these prejudice rednecks live.
