Are people that stupid? All you have to do is turn on a computer, read a book or watch to news to know Obama is no Arab. BUT, If he was, what does that have to do with not trusting him? Remember, this is a person that will be voting in November... makes me wonder, how many Americans are in the dark?  I like how the crowd quietly chuckles at her comment. It made me feel a little better.
ETA: John speaking of respecting Obama is the John I remember. In the past, he wouldn't have ignored these looney comments being shouted out in his crowds. I commend him for correcting that crazy lady and the man in the gray tee. Although, i think he's sending mixed messages-- Yesterday: Don't be scared of Obama, Today: He can't be trusted.

I think it's really sad that people believe everything they read on the internets like he's an Arab and he's a Muslim and all that other BS without trying to do a little fact-checking.
I think it's even sadder that they are discriminating against him because of what they think is true. Even if it was true, who the hell cares? Not all Arabs or Muslims or whatever do bad things.

This is true on both sides though. There's a lot of misinformation about Palin that gets repeated as truth, even in newspapers.

True but Palin isn't getting death threats because of it.

You know this for a fact?
Or do you just mean that no one is alleged to have yelled "kill her" at an Obama rally?

The link posted was so asinine that I replied with an equally lame response. I don't hold Obama responsible for his whackjob supporters and I personally feel that attacking McCain for what some guy said at one of his rallies.

She would be if she were on top in the polls. It's easy to be magnanimous when all signs point to an easy victory.
Just ask the Nebraska Cornhuskers (the 90's versions) 
If you don't think this angst and vitriol is on both sides, I guess you didn't watch the same left-wing protests surrounding the conventions. There's a lot of crap out there and a few nutbag extremists to lap it up.
To say that McCain's supporters 'typically' believe this tripe is about as accurate as saying that most Democrats are too stupid to use a butterfly ballot.

To be fair, I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that. If they were saying that, it would be pretty ignorant, but it seems like people on this board, for the most part, have been careful to sort out the nuts from the normal people when discussing McCain's supporters.

Everyone is not educated and some people stand behind their candidate of choice for the wrong reasons. Making rude, uninformed, ignorant comments does not portray this woman in the best light.
