Well, and it gets worse.
There was this "laudable" interchange yesterday at a town hall meeting in Minnesota:
Lady: "I don't trust Obama. He's an arab."
McCain: "No, ma'am. He's a decent family man, a citizen that I happen to have disagreements with."
So... Great, a step toward civility. Everybody's talking about how he's trying to reign in the crazies, etc.
But.... How he answered that gives us a little peek into the McCain world view: Arab != decent, family, citizenship. So much for the Arab American vote, I guess. But he probably wasn't going to get that anyway, aside from the US relatives of the House of Saud...
