Muslim McCain supporters confront the crazies

At a McCain rally.  Here is the video. A lot of Mccain supporters confront them too.

 

Re: Muslim McCain supporters confront the crazies

  • That was extremely gratifying to watch.  Events such as this are what give me hope that my party hasn't completely caved to wingnuts.
  • I thought my conservative friends would like it. Wink  I also found it extremely gratifying and it gave me hope.  Yes, a McCain rally gave me hope.  What is the world coming to?
  • What those supporters did was great! 

  • I like that it was the seemingly middle-class supporters with rural and/or southern accents who were doing the confronting as well.  Yay for debunking stereotypes!
  • Very, very cool!  Thanks for posting it.
  • I'd read about that and hadn't gotten around to watching the video right now. I really liked that actual, real live Muslims (ohmigod, they're PEOPLE, too?!) confronted these asshats. I hope it helped de-"other"-ize Muslims for them.

    My favorite line was: "Are you deliberately trying to lose us this election?" ZING!

  • That's great.  In other "the crazies don't outnumber us" news, the woman someone on E08 posted about, who wrote a letter to the editor denouncing some of the wackos at an Ohio MPC rally not far from me, was in the newspaper again this weekend.  She reported getting lots of positive feedback from her neighbors saying they appreciated her gesture and didn't want their town to be portrayed as bigoted. If only the crazies didn't talk so LOUD, few in numbers as they may be!

  • Awesome video!  If my crazy uncle emails me again, I'm responding with that.

  • That was very interesting, and I agree, inspiring!  To be honest, if the MPC took that approach from the get go, I bet the polls would be much tighter right now.

  • Very heartening.
  • That was awesome!

  • I can imagine how incredibly pissed off those Muslim voters must be considering they had their religion put on level to and paired with communism. The man with the stickers has probably never left a 100 mile radius of where he was born, and has never encountered (considering all his knowledge comes from TV) a Muslim man dressed in western clothing or a Muslim woman without a headscarf on.
