McCain corrects woman who says Obama is an “Arab”

John McCain took the microphone away from a woman at one of his rallies this week after she said Barack Obama was “an Arab”.

This is an interview with the woman, 75 year-old Gayle Quinnel, done by a live streaming cell phone. Interviewers include Noah Kunin, Senior Political Correspondent from TheUpTake.org, Adam Aigner of NBC News and Dana Bash of CNN.

Quinnel said that she obtained the information on Obama being an Arab at “her local library” and from a pamphlet obtained at a local McCain campaign office (provided by a fellow volunteer not the campaign itself). She has taken it upon herself to redistribute the information as widely as possible by making copies of the pamphlet and sending it to random names in the phone book.

    I saw the first part of this clip on CNN and applaud McCain for correcting this woman. This video just shows how ignorant people can be. And what’s worse is that people like this are able to vote.

    Stop ignoring the despicable behavior of NObama, Nobamathugs and the kool-aid drinking MSM that have bombarded the American people with this fraund NObama ie. John Lewis, civil rights leader and NObama surrogate, played the race card at the urgence of NObama and NObamathugs; and compared McCain to segregationist George Wallace which is so upsurd and a far cry from the truth. Please abandon this destructive behavior of continuing to be gullible for this con-artist NObama! Even when NObama is hauled off to jail in handcuffs, NObama supporters will still behave like a cult member insisting their MESSIAH has clean hands when NObama’s hands are filthy! America and its people deserve better, McCain/Palin, Country first, not Obama’s self interests!
