John McCain has received some rather odd praise for his response to a supporter who described Obama as an ‘Arab’ at a rally last week in Ohio. Correcting the mistake McCain responded:
No ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, a citizen I just happen to have disagreements with
Ah. Well that’s good to know. Because he couldn’t be a decent, family man, and an Arab, now could he? It’s strange to note how the inherent racism within McCain’s discourse (intended or not) has seemingly been overlooked by mainstream commentators…Still it gives us on the blogs something to talk write about I suppose.

It certainty does when don’t seem to know what to write about and prefer to engage in propaganda wars. Does CL really have nothing to say about the debates for example? What about the shape of an Obama Administration?
