After days of watching in silence, McCain calms the crowd at his Minnesota town meeting.

“I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”

Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”

After a woman calls Obama “an Arab,” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen

[LegendHasIt]

"I don’t think McCain wants to win anymore."

"I have never had the feeling that he ever wanted to win."

Oh he wants to win... but not at the expense of irritating or offending any of his Senate Fraternity Brothers.

Unfortunately he sees 0bama as a fraternity brother first, an opponent second and a Marxist chameleon empty suit---- not at all.

I hope America learns her lesson after this.... after having made the absolute worst choices possible for ALL of it's political parties; Major, minor and fringe.

I know Arab people that are certainly more decent than you, based on that comment.

Stop peeing your pants every time Mac says or does something that helps accomplish the #1 goal between now and election day.

Thank you.

Victory. Jaws. Defeat.

Hi’ya TXSleuth.

[tiredoflaundry]

over & over & over & over etc...........

THIS IS WHY THE MSM STILL HAVE SUCH POWER OVER US AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

Our guys NEVER stick up for us, never.

The MSM blackmails them at every turn, when it come to policies and legislation....they cave on us every time.

ALL FOR GOOD PRESS.

Where are the real men?

[Txsleuth]

Yes...pissant!

Doncha know that Obama will have an ad with McCain saying that done by tonight!

He gave Obama a danged KISS, instead of telling the truth.

[RoseofTexas]

I see the EMPEROR's team found a way to ignite and divide our party! The mediaPUKES are craving for McCain to lose his temper.....FOLKS THE FIX IS IN! Ozero's cronies have infiltrated the townhall meetings. McCain needs to change his style back to outdoor rallies. THE FREAKIN DEVIL NEVER SLEEPS!!

Deuteronomy 20:3 He shall say: “Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them.

[Sibre Fan]

Yep - you can expect that to start running - well, probably by Monday ?

Odd
(i’m being polite!)

[Hones]

Questioner told McCain he was afraid of the type of Supreme Court judges that Obama would nominate. McCain basically said not to worry and went into the “we shouldn't be scared rap”. I don't think it would have been too much of a stretch to think that the Rep Pres nominee wouldn't want a court dominated by activist leftist judges. This scares the crap out of me. What is McCain thinking??????????????????The only good this that will come out of this year is Gov Palin.

[pissant]

Unbelievable

[TADSLOS]

McCain never disappoints...to be bi-partisan. Even with his own campaign staff and voters in full attack mode. Ride that glue horse to the finish line, GOP.

The General McClellan of the GOP.

McCain was tougher on Romney in the primary than he is on Obama.

Ain't that the sad truth.

[Wegotsarah.com]

The worse part about this is the “arab” question- No one asks these type of questions- It seems to be a campaign set-up. Worse.

[weegee]

Time-Lies-Warner. Is that like Newsweak?

[tobyhill]

McCain seems to forget that he's trying to get voters to vote for him. Obama is a radical terrorist supporter!

[snarkytart]

And completely undercuts their brilliant ads these last few days. Man is this guy worthless.

Yep!!I don't think people here can quite grasp that his comment just lost this election, the base is NOT coming out for this guy now. No way. Forget Ayers...forget it. It's over. McCain just neutered his own effective ads that have been WORKING!! For gads sake.

[Azzurri]

Well, the good news is that it seems the base is fired up and angry and will walk over glass to vote AGAINST Obama...whether McCain likes it or not.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Forgive me for my denial, everyone.

It's not just a rivwer in Egypt.
