McCain booed after trying to calm anti-Obama crowd

[OneTimeSBX]

all i know is that the underlying racism that we have assumed was on the down low, is now out and vocal. Lynching? killing people? seriously, did it occur that maybe if more than half the country wants an "arab" as president, maybe you should move yourself, because whats worse than one "arab"??? several million "arab" supporters!...its sheer ignorance and i cant believe im hearing it. that mob mentality mentioned earlier scares the hell out of me! i have friends who live in predominately white areas who are nervous about voting now.

i do give mccain half a kudo for correcting this ignoramus, he looked disgusted lol, as if to say "lady, if there was any proof of that, dont you think we would have used it?" lol!

I don't see that the tone has changed in regard to race. I see the media giving coverage to some nuts who have probably been there all along. And again, I see Obama leading in the polls. How is that a set back?

Damn! Are we reading the same thread???

You could see he was aghast and embarrassed at what was said. Whatever he was responding to (Ms. Quinnell, the man who spoke before her, or the terrorist chants), he didn't want to be part of it.

America can't afford a muck up in the polls come November 4th

and here is the 'kill him' clip
