Obama "The Arab" Can't Be Trusted?

The Really: The Republicans have really done a bang up job at educating their constituents.

At one of John McCain's now INfamous Town Hall meetings he got booed by his crowd. A woman from the audience at a Town Hall meeting in Minnesota said Barak Obama could not be trusted because he was an Arab. John McCain stood there looking stunnded and saddened by what he had just heard. For one of the first times in this race it seems that the nasty tatics had caught up with him and you coudl see it all over his face. Well you get what you put of there John "The Maverick" McCain and what you have put out there is misinformation and fear during your bid for the presidency. The one redeeming part of this entire fiasco was that John McCain swallowed his pride and corrected the woman. When he said Barak Obama was a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States." you could hear boos from the crowd. The sad part of this story isn't the fact that this happened today, it is the fact that this type of ignorance happens everyday and the candidates do nothing to clear the air until it is too late. Shame Shame Shame, we know your name!

I am not quite sure how you can have one of the most pathetic and disgusting moments in American history along with one of the most redeeming but it happened today. And we wonder why some people dislike Americans?

  1. When he said Barak Obama was a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."


    i'm not an arab and i'm not even religious, but don't you think it's funny that instead of saying being a muslim isn't a bad thing...he made it sound like it was a bad thing, but don't worry! obama isn't one of THEM!
