McCain’s Anti-Arab comment…

20 10 2008

I recently heard about this incident:

“Mr. Powell also told reporters on Sunday that he was troubled that a number of Americans believe that Mr. Obama is a Muslim, although he did not directly link that supposition to the McCain campaign. At a recent town-hall style meeting, Mr. McCain told an audience member who said she thought that Mr. Obama was an “Arab,” ‘no, ma’am, he’s a decent family man.’”

I have to say I am not surprised. One of his greatest supporters is John Hagee, who is anti-arab and also an anti-catholic homophobe. This is the kind of mentality that most republicans have and that is the driving power behind their parts. I mean he didn’t have to say it, just his refutation for the woman’s comments shows what he really thinks of arabs. And, I guess since Arabs are a small minority in the voting arena, who care?

I always have felt McCain was left of the right but that just puts him right in the bigoted mindframe of the millions of Americans who put Bush, Bush and Reagan in to office. He definitely lost a whole voting bloc in Michigan. 

They can stress the Hussein as much they want, it hasn’t worked. Obama is still leading in the lead. I just want to see all those Americans in the bible belt who had never left their hometown after Obama wins the election. Although he is not my choice, I do prefer him over anything with Palin on the ticket. Although I also feel like Palin would be a great liberal had she not been preened in a suburban out-of-touch setting.

Atleast he knows Obama is decent, an adjective he and his party can never claim.

Wow look at that vein popping in his head!!!

As for the “Arab” comment, I think the bigger disgrace is the utter silence of the Arab-American community. Back in the days of old traditional media they could be forgiven for not being able to get their voice heard, but today with websites, blogs, Youtube and the 24/7 news cycle there is simply no excuse!!
