McCain Supporters Combat Anti-Muslim Intolerance in their Midst

Monday October 20, 2008

When I saw the Huffington Post headline, "Muslim McCain Fans Confront Intolerance At Rally," I figured it would be a video showing a mob of intolerant McCainiacs. The video actually reflects very well on most of the McCain supporters featured here:


On the other hand, this video would seem to indicate that the use of the Muslim=Terrorism=Obama formula is a bit more common among McCain supporters.

You made a remark about rednecks, what was the purpose of that? Except to show your ignorance about what a redneck is. Most would consider me a redneck because I live in the middle of nowhere, I have a country accent, and I like to hunt and fish. However, I am top of my class at the University I attend. My G.P.A is 4.0 and I volunteer on a regular basis at homeless shelters and other places. Redneck is not the word to describe those people. There just plain dumb.

So you just assume that McCain supporters are intolerant racists, before you know any facts?

Interesting. That says far about your own prejudices than it does about theirs.

Who's responsible for all this hate? It's the media. This is what you get when you spread hate through Islamaphobia. People simply start hating anyone that's different from them. Instead of blaming these poor "Foxheads", we must go after the "Savages" who are bringing our country down.

Disgusting behavior! It is hard to believe that in this day and age in America we can have so much ignorance and such uneducated people in our midst! Clearly, we should educate our own people a little more.

Hate can only be spread to those that are stupid enough to take it and not question it. I guess our government is not any different than many other governments (ones that our country puts down all the time??) that count on its people to be dumb and then brainwash them with all the misinformation in the media.

This is after all an election period and I guess the least thing, Democrats or Republicans alike want is to alienate themselves from voters and potential voters from any and every faction of the population.
