Well, what do you think about this?
NPR posted a video of Muslim supporters of John McCain standing up to supporters trying to link Obama to Muslims.
I guess I'm surprised that any Muslims are supporting McCain, considering that that campagin seems to oppose any diversity of religion, race, or culture . . . and when you think about it, I'm surpried that ANYONE supports them. I really thought I country was more mature than this, but I'm very glad that some McCain supporters have enough decency to stand up to these jerks.
The problem is that Sarah Palin and others from the campaign seems to be encouraging the jerks.
What happens when Muslim McCain supporters go to a rally and encounter other McCain fans making anti-Muslim comments and handing out modified Obama bumper stickers with an Islamic crescent? And what happens when a McCain staffer intervenes in said encounter?
The whole thing was caught on tape. View below the fold:
Here's the video. I think it speaks for itself:
UPDATE:
Otheruser reported this comment from over at Huffington Post:
Daniel Zubairi, a Muslim McCain grassroots organizer who told racist rally attendees in Woodbridge, Virginia that the campaign didn't "endorse that behavior," was for some reason not allowed to talk to CNN about the incident.
So what's up with this? I guess the McCain campain is behind the Jerks . . . ? Surprise!
