Mccain supporters do the right thing

[akhenaten]

When some obama haters passed out info and implied Obama was muslim outside of a mccain rally, some honorable Mccain supporters stood up fpr what was right and told them that their anti muslim message was not wanted !!

Good for them!!

(sadly I have seen Mccain supporters here on the dis with siggies that implied the same and I did not see any Mccain supporter come forward to correct them... too bad)

Did anyone see CNN covering the story yesterday afternoon? It was great footage. I'm glad people put that guy in is place. That hateful type of behavior only hurts the party. Good for those brave people who stepped forward!

Thank you for posting a nice thing about the "other side"

OP ~ thank you for posting a thread that differentiates between an Obama hater and a McCain supporter.

Exactly how many Dem Dissers corrected people for their attacks on Palin's family? That promulgated rumors that her special needs son was actually her daughter's child? That spread rumors about shotgun weddings and spead falsehoods about being a member of the AIP party.

Quite frankly, I have witnessed far more acts acts of understanding and corrections of wrongs coming from the right than from the left on these boards.

Throw in the attacks on Joe the Plumber, it's a landslide for the libs on false and misleading attacks.

I'm glad they did the right thing outside the rally.

WTH? This was a nice thread until you posted this

Thank you...and it was a good reminder to me also..that there are many, many mccain supporters.... who are not into the hate!

I have seen too much of it... a vocal minority I am sure.....

 

[crcormier]

Nice story. There are plenty of good people still out there. The bad ones usually drown them out.

no just a comment..not a slam.. i was surprised when I saw a siggie in the conservative thread with the same muslim symbols..used is such a negative way... and the person with the sig got nothing but support from the other posters..
it was an observation....



I think many on both side need to step back and really analize their actions....

Seriously, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Where were these guys when the cops were fighting with the violent protestors at the repub convention??

I didn't see ANYBODY on the DIS claim that Trig was Bristol's child. Some Democrat supporters did, but not DISsers as far as I know. I didn't see any of the posts that claimed that.

Todd Palin being a former member of the AIP isn't a rumour. It's a fact. Palin speaking at the AIP convention is also a fact.

It is nice that the McCain supporters are setting the record straight. I have also noticed in the last week that tv ads on both sides seem to focusing on the issues and what they will do about specific issues, and the candidates own track record. There seems to be fewer negative ads.

It wasn't a "slam on the other side"....it was a slam against some of the fanatical Republicans on this board with signatures perpetuating falsehoods, and the fact that no one on "their side" called them out on it for making the rest of them look bad.

Great clip! I loved how everyone banded together to send those hate-mongers packing. I bet they were hoping to make a bundle off those bumper stickers.

If you are referring to the signature I think you are you need to read the disclaimer. It's clearly anti-Muslin and not anti-Muslim. As for myself, I find that muslin wrinkles far too easily and I prefer Egyptian cotton.

Thanks for posting about this, ankhenaten. I'm glad to see people letting the fringe know that they are not helping.

I really liked the positive tone, and sorry to have to go on to the "other" issue, but the poster you are all referring to is not a "fanatical Republican" by any stretch of the imagination, and has already both said and put a disclaimer in her sig to reiterate that she hadn't even noticed the Muslim symbology in her sig picture and picked it out after a prolonged time looking at clip art because she agreed with the wording. Please just give it a rest. She is aware that Obama is not a Muslim plant, she just likes the verbage used under the name. If any of you are good with Photoshop, which I am not, perhaps you would offer to fix it for her instead of continuing to call her out about it? Wouldn't that be a really nice across-the-aisle gesture? Being sincere here.

Obama...half-man half-cloth..........LOL

sadly, i also think it would surprise a few of the M/P supporters who post on the dis to see that here are muslims who are voting for mccain...


I love what COLIN POWELL said....the correct answer is that Obama is not Muslim...but the right answer is what if he was.....

You obviously missed the hysterical posts from LuvDuke on that subject.

If i could help her take it out I would.... I can not photoshop...

but just a question... is she or any others who defend her picture...worried about obama having sat "in the pews" of reverend wrights church... because
it seems that if you can give her a pass for having such a negative image...since that is not her intent...
then you should be able to give obama pass for atending a church that did many,many good works but has a preacher who goes over the top at times....
I am sure there are many other anti obama images on the net .... ones that do not imply he is muslim or imply all muslims are dangerous...

OP, I hope your thread is not a roundabout way of reopening a closed thread. Just watching out for you, but when I first read it - well, some might think that's the case. Especially since a lot of posts afterwards are leading us in this direction.
