As the video posted on this blog earlier showed, McCain attempted at a rally yesterday to tamp down the strange insults being hurled toward Obama. Politico reports that one supporter even referred to Obama as an "Arab," which McCain quickly corrected:

"Come on, John!" one audience member yelled out as the Republicans crowd expressed their dismay at their nominee. Others yelled "liar," and "terrorist," referring to Barack Obama.

McCain passed his wireless microphone to one woman who said, "I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not he's not uh -- he's an Arab. He's not --" before McCain retook the microphone and replied:

"No, ma'am," the Arizona senator assured. "He's a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign's all about. He's not [an Arab]."
