I wish to associate myself with Ericka Anderson's post. I saw the video today of those that one McCain voting jerk, and the Muslim guy for McCain standing up to them. Good for him. And God bless the sacrifice of Cpl. Khan (see the photo of his widow at his grave on Ericka's post). Here's the confrontation:

I first saw the video on samefacts.com (a decent if IMHO often conventional lib/prog website) and it almost brought tears to my eyes. First time in months that there has been anything about the McCain campaign I could be proud of. I know, I know, I'm overreacting to one vivid moment of decency, but still, peradventure ten [righteous] shall be found there [in the GOP].
Great point, Franklin. As always, the devil is in the details. In this case, pinning down "promote" and "discrimination".
Also, the cries of racism on the one hand, and invoking crypto-muslimhood on the other, are often proxies for legitimate points. So people making those charges are just being lazy. Or they think the real points they are trying to make are too complicated for the grubbies and sweaties to understand.
Whatever the motivation, I'm sick of it.
This plus Powell's statement are encouraging. It will be even more believable when Republicans stop using Obama's middle name in such an obviously exaggerated manner.

Daniel Zubairi, the Muslim guy for McCain was to do an interview on CNN yesterday with Rick Sanchez. The McCain campaign cancelled it at the last minute.
Rod will be calling for Canadian-style HRC's next.
Look, the vast majority of our troops killed are not Muslims, not Jews. They are Christians (at least nominally). That is the way this country was founded and settled. We really don't need more of a religion that every where it establishes a foothold, it causes problems. No doubt the first Muslims into Holland were great guys too. Now look.
