My friends and occasional collaborators Davin Hutchins and Lagan Sebert dropped in on a McCain rally in Virginia. Apropos of Colin Powell’s remarks about the anti-Islamic ugliness on display at these rallies, Davin and Lagan confronted one such purveyor of demagoguery, and soon enough, a bandwagon joined them. Watch Muslim McCain voters — and non-Muslim McCain voters — stand up to this crap.

Good on the campaign for lining up folks to respond to those kinds of morons. Of course, one wonders whether they would’ve bothered had there not been a camera on hand.
This made me feel good inside. Really, it is nice to know that not everyone is a raving loon.
Now maybe these “journalists” can go confront the haters wearing the “Sarah Palin is a C**t” tshirts. Oh no, wait, that kind of hate is ok with “progressives.” Maybe next century, huh?
Where was this level of contempt when McCain used called his wife a C**t? This is a heartening video demonstrating that this country may not be as polarized as we may think. I am so glad that people of all races, religions and genders feel as offended when racist bigots try and co opt the national dialog with their ignorant fear mongering.
Fantastic video. I am Obama voter, but I admire courage of those young McCain backers who are Islamic and stand against the bigotry. I guess slowly Americans are learning what Indians and Turks know for quite long – separation of religion and state. Indeed at times Americans can be dumb not to know the basic Constitution as well. So sad. But with this video it is clear that many Americans are ready to throw this non-sense.
