Video-McCain Finally Defends Obama Against Hatefull Remarks

Posted on 10 October 2008

I have to give John McCain a little credit today. (Yes Really).  After a week of total disgust for the way he has ignored the disrespect coming from the supporters at his and Palin’s rally’s, John McCain finally stood up and put a little honor back into his campaign, and defended Barack Obama against hateful accusations from audience members.

McCain and Palin only have themselves to blame for winding their crowds into a pissed off frenzy with all their rhetoric about Obama’s trustworthiness, and insinuating ties with domestic terrorist, being Muslim ( as if that were a crime) and have literally spending millions to scare voters onto their side.  It is a hate against Obama that John McCain and Sarah Palin have created, and now find themselves in a position to have to talk down their supporters from the ignorance that they have been feeding them for so long.
It seems ( at least in this once instance) that John McCain seems to understand that he has created an unfair rage against his opponent, and standing by and allowing it to continue is a direct reflection of his own honor as a Senator, and as an American.

    credit for putting (or at least trying) down the fire he and palin created. and only after they’ve seen how disturbing their behaviour has become not only to democrats but to any decent american. this is abuse of the first amendment. they instigate people to become wild animals. and once you bestride this wild animal it is hard to alight because you are in danger to become its pray.

    I gotta say I totally agree with you. They have been sitting idly by while whipping their crowds into a hateful frenzy insinuating everything from being a Terrorist, to a Muslim Extremist.
    At least McCain made some effort today to restore some honor to his campaign.

    Of course it won’t do anything to stop the commercials that are sure to continue over the next 25 days.
