McCain warns supporters, calls Obama decent man

These overheated people will turn on their own if that person tried to talk reason to their mob. Scary stuff.

It's a bit late in the game, after encouraging his running mate and her attendant brown-shirts, to pretend to be civil.

I appreciate McCain's willingness to try and calm down these crowds. These crowds scare me so bad and they make me fear for Obama's safety, African Americans safety, and the safety of any Obama supporter.

I'm a 35 year old male (and a huge Obama supporter!) who was born in a small town in Minnesota. A lot is said about "Minnesota Nice", but I can attest that, like everywhere else in the Midwest, there are far too many ignorant, set-in-their-ways racists that are going to make asinine comments like these, mostly out of frustration. By my experience however, the bark is almost always worse than the bite, and I feel confident that cool heads will ultimately prevail. Kudos to Senator McCain for scolding these buffoons rather than further inciting them or using these instances to further his campaign in a 'dirtier' way. Now let's make sure he and his Alaskan running mate never make it into the Oval Office!!

The anger and hatred McCain encountered is the result of the fear and hate-mongering he has allowed the Republican machine to engage in in his name. I believe he's a decent man, and I wonder if even he's starting to question the deal he made with the devil to win this election. The racism and ignorance of the hyper-conservative sheep hasn't been obvious because they've been in power, but now it's starting to show. I can only hope that all moderates will realize that the true extremist element we need to be afraid of isn't coming from the Middle East, but from within our own country. God help us all.

McCain seized the microphone from the hands of a woman who called Obama "an Arab," and scolded her.

Good for McCain ... finally. But he should never have let it get to this stage and he conceded all legitimacy with his Palin pick anyway.

>>scared…to bring a child up" under an Obama presidency.
Because he's:
A) Democrat
B) not white-skinned
C) Liberal
D) less than 50 years old
E) ALL OF THE ABOVE

So which is it? Did this person not leave their house for 8 years under the Clinton administration too?

I don't know about you, but the sight of wet, tired and hungry people in New Orleans and unemployed, tired people leaving banks on Wall Street made me more afraid than pretty much anything Barack Obama could screw up.

Isn't the next president sort of in Sarah Palin's debating position- that even just maintaining the status quo would be considered success?

McCain's ads stoke the fires of all this not so latent bigotry. Now he wants to play good cop to his vile bad cop ads. H.L. Mencken once said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." He might have just as easily inserted bigotry instead intelligence.

This recalls the kind of man we once knew McCain to be - before he won the nomination and caved to the pressures of the extremist wing of his party. Welcome back John McCain! Democrats and Independents will never forgive you for contending that Sarah Palin is a legitimate choice to lead the country, but this kind of rationalism proves that your legacy does not have to be completely trashed because of temporary insanity.

sadly, most of the people in from this town meeting (and, others as well) will never read this article.

I HAVE to say I respect McCain. Whether or not people do not like him to be president this going around must be grueling for all the candidates and after awhile kind of sickening. He said the right thing here and does not want these people to get out of control.

While I remain an Obama supporter for policy reasons, I have to admit that no other comment made by any other candidate throughout the long primaries and now the general election has increased my respect for that candidate more than these comments from Senator McCain. It takes real strength to stand up for what is right and decent, when doing so is so clearly not in your own best interest. I salute you, Senator McCain, and, although you haven't won my vote, you have certainly earned my respect - a tougher task, I assure you!

John Mc Shame ought to hide his face in shame.
He claims "country first " yet he is the first to divide America along racial, demographic and religeuos lines.
I"ve got news for you McShame, get ready to go jump into the Lagoon cos all your hatred and incitements will not work against an innocent citizen like Obama.
Because of the quest for power Mc Shame has sold his soul to the Devil.

Now that is a leader. Someone who shows courage and respects his opponent. Lets discuss issues and concerns. This election yesterday sounded like an election that takes places in uncivilized countries. I will still vote Obama because I can understand his solutions better. BUT I give a lot of credit to McCain today.

There was some applause in the audience at McCain's remark, which I found heartening. As an independent who frequently votes Democratic, I have been shocked at some of the anti-Republican and anti-Bush vitriol I have seen during the Bush years. Thank goodness McCain finally spoke to people's fears that the far right was about to go off the edge of that same cliff (some would argue that they have already gone over it).

I hope the people who clapped in his audience continue to educate their friends on the right. Judging from what I've seen on the left in the last eight years, I am not terribly confident they will succeed.

Most notable is the fact that it seems obvious that MCain is startled at the ugliness that has been unleashed by his campaign handlers.

It really is psychologically fascinating to watch him squirm uncomfortably at what his campaign handlers have been doing (and forcing him to do). I think he is a truly decent man who is very conflicted these days.

Isn't this all a non-issue? ACORN has rigged the election for Obama, there's no reason to bother with another debate.

Since inciting violence, especially murder, is a crime, and McCain and Palin have probably been warned that they woould be held criminally responsible if anyone got hurt, they would be insane do to anything but to back off from their incendiary rhetoric.

I am a Canadian watching from a distance. We as a nation did not understand why it was necessary to invade Iraq when the issue was with Saudi-Arabia terrorists who were holed up in Afganistan. As a nation, we supported going in to attack the terrorists...but we all watched in shock as the US pushed its way into Iraq without the approval of the UN or the world.
I lost any respect I had for the USA at that point. Now when someone who comes in and speaks with objective and logic they are labeled as "anti-american" I really wonder about the credibility that the US has. I am so happy right now that I am on this side of the border. Our politics are not perfect...but our imperfections pale in comparision to what I am seeing right here, right now...

yes, welcome back john, you are sure to put osama in the white house with this
wussified attitude!!!
He needs to go get em'. We are mad as hell and arent going
to take it any more!!!!!!
The Liberals have screwed us enough!!!

I almost cried when I saw McCain finally stand up against those wackos. I won't vote for him, but I was a great admirer of his work on campaign finance reform and his fight against the US government's use of torture. Yesterday when that guy yelled how mad he was, McCain's response was to focus on bipartisanship once he's elected. I think he is genuinely uncomfortable with the tone of these rallies.

You have to be careful when stirring up the mob, because it can get out of control and away from any control you give it, a mob with a leader is called a party. Kudos to McCain, this is the John McCain I used to like, sadly the way he has changed to get the nomination has created this beast and he ignored it for too long to get this way. Too bad for him, but by letting this get out of hand he's shown what kind of leader he is willing to be, and its not one I want leading my country.

every good farmer knows, "you reap what you sow"

I rooted for McCain 8 years ago and was mad as heck when Bush used racist strategies to discredit him among his supporters. I cheered at all the good work he did along the way, but then he changed. Like so many have said, he sold his soul for power and he lost himself. Today's actions are a far cry from redemption, but I sense the McCain that I had admired for so many years. It's only a first step. He started the fire, he's got to be the one to put it out. Otherwise our nation will never be United. Our country is being ripped to pieces at a time when we need to be one.

WOW, good for senator mccain! as an Obama supporter, I am so proud that he finally set them straight. way too late, and someone needs to slap a muzzle on that Palin, but he got my respect.

As a Canadian, I must apologize for Iahdekorpi's very parochial remarks. Most Canadian, as evidenced in her writing, do not understand the basic issues facing this election in the U.S. So when they have an opportunity to speak on a specific moment in the American election cycle, Canadians like Iahdekorpi, rather than contributing to the specific dialogue, instead try to assert some sort of moral superiority via recitation of the "global" view of America's recent lost of prestige on the global stage. She doesn't seem to realize that this race is precisely about maintaining America's status quo or regaining America's stature as a global leader, a position, that has in the past benefitted Canada greatly, whether Iahdekorpi realizes this or no.

"The Liberals have screwed us enough?" What is wrong with you people? This kind of rhetoric is unamerican.

You need to put yourself in check. This isn't a right wing extremist nation. Get out if you can't handle that.

Um... everybody keeps saying what a decent man Senator McCain is. In my book, a truly decent man would have made it a ground rule of his campaign to refrain from race-baiting/Muslim-baiting/terrorist-by-association tactics, and would have immediately come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who breaks that rule. Senator McCain clearly did NOT do that. Instead he has waited until things have really gone too far. Death threats against Obama, are you kidding me? That should be the domain of the KKK and American Nazi Party, not the Republican Party. Have Republicans lost their minds? Correct me if I am wrong, but Senator Obama has run a squeaky clean campaign and to me this is the sign of a TRULY decent man.

Ninety-nine and 44/100ths?!?!

Oh, please. They got their hatred of Obama from McCain and Palin, now he tries to pretend he's separate from it.

Give me a break!

I will vote for Senator Obama as I prefer his policies to Senator Mc Cain's. Iam all for free markets etc. but not at this time in our history. We do need the government to step in & there has to be some regulation to get our country back on track on a lot of issues.
After seeing Senator Mc Cain's/ Sarah Palin's rabble rousing rallies on tv, Iam absolutely sure that this is not the team I want at all.
Thank you.

Obama is the Manchurian candidate with much scary stuff behind the scenes.
What he does NOT know would fill volumes. What he and those who TRULY brought him to where he is is frightening. He has only thrown them under the bus when he absolutely HAD to.
He has NO honest bone in his socialist, UCC body.

The world is in the position that it is now because of the ignorance of folks like those in Minnesota. Stay at home and don't vote if you can't look at the real issues and the stance that each candidate stands for. This is not about left or right - it is about WE the American people. Get a clue folks.

I agree with GR. It isn't racism at all. Obama is a marxist who plans to redistribute the wealth. I urge everyone to read his website. The facist "bailout" has put the tools in place. We are afraid and saddened as we watch the demise greatest country in the history of the world. Obama is not the messiah; he is big brother.

I would have respected John McCain for saying these things had he said them months ago. It is hard to take these words seriously given the past few months of race-baiting, Muslim-bashing and terrorist name calling on his part. He incited, pandered to and tried to exploit this racism and viciousness and now that it is turning against him, he is trying to take the high road; it's a bit too late for that. He is backing away from this behavior because he now has the little pit bull known as Sarah Palin to do that particular piece of dirty work. By the way, notice that just underneath this article is one about Sarah Palin urging McCain to be more aggressive and attack Obama's character.

WHY IS EVERYTHING WITH LIBERALS ABOUT RACE. ONE PERSON MENTIONED IN THEIR COMMENT THAT BLACKS NEED TO BE AFRAID BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE. I GUESS SHE MISSED THE TOWN MEETING YESTERDAY WHEN A BLACK MAN STOOD UP AND ASKED MCCAIN WHEN HE WAS GOING TO START ATTACKING OBAMA BECAUSE HE THOUGHT OBAMA DESERVED MORE SCRUTINY. IT'S NOT ABOUT COLOR AS MUCH AS LIBERALS WANT TO BELIEVE. IT'S ABOUT SOMEONE'S POLITICAL VIEWS. STOP WITH THE RACE BAITING AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY CONSERVATIVES ARE TRULY ANGRY.

If anyone had paid attention to the origin of the Manchurian Candidate theory (circa 1959 Richard Condon novel), it was a Military Man who was the son of a prominent military family who was brainwashed as a POW IIRC. That would make McCain the perfect Maoist Manchurian Candidate.

But all that nonsense aside, I think McCain is screwed. If he tries to act "decent" at this stage of the game Limbaugh & Hanitty will skewer him and the extreme right radicals will abandon him. If he continues on this bile & hate direction, his personal reputation will suffer and he probably can't live with that. Add to this Palin is now found guilty of abusing her powers as governor and it just couldn't get any worse.

I would be terrified to show McCain a Queen of Diamonds.

For years I have listened to crazy right wing extremist bents insulated within the activist religious right of the Republican Party though I can sympathize some with those having to deal with the ignorance and passion of those sort of fanatics, in that the Republican Party has reputiated its moderates and both Democratic and Republican parties have become polarized in the service of the corrupt entrenched leaderships I especially must take exception and make note of how the Republican Party specifically has enjoyed benefits by its unholy alliance with those elements: and specifically also take note that John McCain's rebuke of the woman in his audinece that called Barrack Obama an Arab as unjustified, just as also a male audience member earlier insanely refered to the Democrats as Socialists but it seems all too little, too late though I salute Mr John McCain for doing so.

Yes, but have you ever seen that crap at an Obama rally? And would Biden or Obama ever stand by and smile with negative comments being hurled? Never to both, because they want to be better than that. I am glad McCain reacted the way he did; perhaps now he should get a legitimate running mate.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

i want every McCain supporter that preaches violence to heed the words of JFK.

We will not stand for your threats. Obama supporters are true Americans and we stand untied to take our country back . God Bless America!

PS As far as I am concerned anyone yelling "kill him" at any presidential candidiate's rally should be promptly arrested by the SECRET SERVICE but where has the SECRET SERVICE been?

If the SECRET SERVICE has not arrested such provocateurs and terrorists they are in subversion of their duty, and the constitution and the president of the United States and should be immediately releived of duty, and court martially be found guilty and spend long time in prison.

1- People are frustrated that Americans are poised to elect a Leftist man, whose personal world view is more pro-world, than exclusively pro-American.

2- People are frustrated that the tinge of Socialism is all around the United States, aided and abetted by the present administration, no matter how important the bailout was.

3- People are frustrated that there is no oversight in Congress, to get to the bottom of this scandalous situation.

4- People are frustrated that media have a cone of silence around the Obama campaign, and refuse to do their jobs, that is, to investigate his past fully once the Democratic primary has been over.

5- People are frustrated that they their own Party have selected a Republican-in-Name-Only candidate to run for the Presidency in 2008.

6- People are frustrated that said candidate refuses to address aspects of his opponent's character and associations, which would shine a light on his past.

7- People are frustrated that a woman who has the potential to be the future of her Party, has had her side of the campaign bungled.

8- People are frustrated at the treatment given said woman, by media, and the opposition's supporters which smack of elitism, and are frankly sexist.

9- People are frustated that they see prominent Republicans jumping ship, when their side needs support the most.

10- People are frustrated about the lack of leadership shown by all their leaders, from economic to political, in this country.

In an increasingly polarized country, the McCain/Palin Himmleresque incitement of fear is a shameful ploy. At one time McCain appeared to have some attractive qualities but the forge of this election has stripped those away to reveal a small, peevish man grasping desperately for victory. Why is he even bothering to run if what he wants to bring is merely an updated version of the racist jingoism of Joseph McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, Jesse Helms and George Wallace? If McCain/Palin represent change, at best, they represent a possible change for the worse - a regression to a time of overt racism. Are we so ignorant and so proud of it that we will allow McCain/Palin to manipulate us and incite fear with such ease? We'll soon know; but let's hope that we are better than what McCain/Palin are trying to make us out to be. If we are not, shame on us.

Since the claim is that the Secret Service is monitoring McCain/Palin rally attendees for potential threats against Senator Barack Obama, McCain likely took the microphone from the woman's mouth before she said something stupid that would make her someone they'd have to investigate. Because he got up on stage and insulted Obama again, far from the immediate microphone and camera range of people in the crowd continuing as they had before.

Obama is scary and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. Here is why people should be scared to vote for that tool:

1) He's a liar, plain and simple.

2) His ties to the group ACORN which is well known to be involved in voter fraud. The allegations against that sick grou[ are coming fast and furious. He claims to have no ties to the group which is another one of his many lies. His campaign gave 800,000.00 to ACORN. He represented the group legally, Yeah Barack, whatever you say,

3) His ties to domestice terrorist Bill Ayers. You've got to ask yourself, why would a man like Bill Ayers who says capitalism must be brought down at any cost, likes Brack Hussein Obama so much.

4) His 20 year membership in a church that was led by a hate mongering bigot named Rev. Wright.

5) Change ? What change ? His platform is the same old Democratic liberal nonsense the party has been espousing for decades on end.

Anyone that would vote for Obama is either stupid, ignorant or both. His ties are with people that are of the Marxist/Socialist ideology. Of course that plays well in a left wing looney state like Massachusetts. Massachusetts would vote for Osama Bin Laden for President if he were listed on the ballot as a Democrat

Anybody that believe the bilgewater Barack Hussein Obama is pumping needs to have their heads examined.

McCain only did that because the FBI is investigating the "kill him" comment made.the secret service also warned McCain about stirring up these mobs by saying Obama is a terrorist.it's very dangerous in this day and age to accuse someone of being a terrorist or trying to link them to terrorism.
the secret service has had to put more protection on Obama and his family because of this hate mongering,Palin and McCain should be ashamed of themselves for endangering Obama and his family.
if McCain wasn't warned by these groups to tone down that kind of hate mongering he'd still be up there spewing that nonsense.

Go Obama!

We will show those Republicans. Republicans are generally represented by the four Rs: 1. rich, 2. redneck, 3. racist, or 4. retarded.

lol

Why is a candidate's religion even an issue? Palin baby, have you heard of separation of church and state? Gotcha! They didn't mean that and it was so in the past. We are looking at the future now and we see continuation of the destruction of the US Constitution. What is it that the VP does anyway?

I wish we had a muslim candidate. It would do more to stop terrorism than anything else. But it really does not matter and bringing it up is fascist propaganda.

To those who use Senator Obama's middle name as a way to scare people: Barak is a Hebrew name. Your ignorance is astounding. Did you not notice that Israel's Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001 was named Ehud Barak?

The angry mob mentality is something that John McCain first experienced close up and personal after his capture in North Vietnam. The realization that his Campaign seems to be triggering that in some of our fellow Americans must be profoundly disturbing to him.

Funny reading this. Most of you are fairly closed eyed and closed minded. Post by Rao: Wants the gvmt to step in and take care of problems. The Gvmt did step in. Clinton repealed Glass-Steagal. Frank and Dodd ran cover for FMFM. Now we're in the toilet. Next. Most of the posts in here lay claim that all Conservatives are racists. My take and many other Minnesotans is this: We are taxed to the hilt. We have one of the most liberal leaning states in country. The people you saw at that rally are fed up. They see an Obama presidency as an extension of the same. They also question his relationship with Ayers, an unrepentant, homegrown terrorist. They question his realtionship with Rev. Wright. Now there's an example of a true patriot. How about his business dealings with now jailed Rezko over his land dealings (hmmm, sounds Clintonesque). How about his lack of experience? Dems tout his Community Organizer past as experience, but rip Sarah Palin a new one. Keep in mind, Clinton was a governor too, of a lot smaller state with a smaller budget than Palins. How many of you have met Obama? Shook his hand? He is nothing but charismatic and an empty suit. As for Ari, my fellow Canuck's comments (I'm now a dual citizen living in my beautiful new homeland) and this is news to all of you since the liberal press won't say it. Hussein kicked out UN inspectors re. WMD's. The spineless UN, led by Annan and his son who was talking bribes from Hussein from the oil for food program, did nothing. Hussein had many chances to open the doors and allow the UN back in and called their bluff. Hussein consistently violated the no-fly zone launching missiles and locking on to coalition planes while we did nothing, at the behest of Bill Clinton I might add. Thank God Bush acted and got this torturing scumbag and his rapist scumbag sons in body bags. In closing, you may call us Minnesotans bigots or racists or whatever. We just don't want to see an emboldenment of what's already trashing our state.

Great McCain is going for Secretary of Defence under Obama!! Its all over!!! Lets get on with setting up the Obama team to run the White House. But remember you need to vote first ....don't sit back just yet!!!

Not sure it reaches Manchurian level, but GR is spot on in his description of Obama.
Thomas, you can't possibly believe McCain/Palin turned anyone into a ranting racist. It's funny how cop killers and other leftist radicals can back Obama, and it's ok when he says he can't control who supports him. In a heated environment, McCain confronts a hater straight on, and it's not enough.
WAKE UP AMERICA. I'm not thrilled to be on the same side as Republicans, conservatives and racists, but I know a lying weasel when I see one, just as I know a decent man when I see one.
Forget their platforms- Congress controls the purse strings- neither agenda matters, not that we're in any financial condition to bring about change. Nothing gets done in Washington because the parties block one another. Can Obama influence Republicans better than McCain can influence Democrats?
We are a divided country in a crisis brought on by greed and dishonesty. We need a leader that EVERYONE can respect.

Good for McCain. Now let's see what his next move is. He's already lost my vote -- or should I say Obama has won it? -- but he still has a chance to regain a portion of my respect if he conducts himself honorably these next several weeks.

What is it about the Republican party that attracts all the angry, ignorant, illiterate, brainless mutts in the country?

It really was very interesting seeing McCain being pushed into a corner yesterday. All week Palin and the surrogates have been making the most outrageous statements and now McCain had to defend the man "who was is supposedly so dangerous to the country". I have to wonder if McCain regrets his Palin choice every morning when he wakes up. He sold his soul to the James Dobson's and the Pat Roebertson's of this country and now is paying a very high price because not only are the Independents running from him but so are many "thinking" Repblicans.

I'm amazed at the amount of posts here admiring McCain for his "too little too late" statements to his supporters. Every bigoted, violent comment that has been made is entirely a result of what he and that bubblehead he has as a running mate have campaigned for. I do not see the reasoning behind giving a man credit for lame attempts to diffuse the bombs that he himself constructed.

I am from the Philippines and my country favor with Sen. Obama. And really happy to Sen. Mccain that he stand up and correct the facts about Sen. Obama, which only one person who should blame with this and that is Gov. Palin. Who call Sen. Obama a Terrorist.

No sale, McCain. Your comments are every bit as scripted as the vitriol your paid claque has been spewing for the past few weeks.

Obama is the Manchurian candidate ...

I thought that was Denzel Washington. Oh, that's right, he's black too.

I do not in any fashion advocate violence or inciteful speech but I agree with the man afraid to raise a child under Obama's leadership. His record IS the reason and his POOR judgment. 20 years in Rev Wright's church, 13 year close working relationship with Ayers, dishonest loan from Rezko, stated friendship with convicted felon and ex mayor Kwami Kilpatrick, his using US Senate money to travel to Kenya in 2006 to promote his cousin the violent Odinga, his multiple lawsuits against anyone who speaks out, his Truth Squad in MO and his ever changing stories about what he did or did not know or do should terrify everyone of all races who believes in American freedoms. WAKE UP AMERICA!

I find McCain's comment too little too late. What he has allowed to fly during the course of this campaign, particularly out of his running mate's mouth, makes me sick to the stomach. You ever play that game - Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Somehow somewhere, he can be linked to anyone else in movies? That's how this game goes. We live amongst other people, some of them are good, some...not so much. Both McCain, Obama, and for that matter, you, me and everyone out there can be linked to someone we'd rather not be.

I'm tired of this 'he's a muslim' stuff. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it matters so much anyway. Of course we all know he isn't, but what if he was? Are there no Americans who are muslims? So...we want to give freedoms to the Iraqis - that's the argument that we hear all the time - we're bringing them freedom. Apparently the freedom to be muslim is okay in Iraq, but in America, being a muslim is a bad thing??

This man is a family man, with two small children - he's a good man. You may not agree with him, but the rhetoric that borders on weilding pitchforks at Obama is dangerous to the point of leading to something awful happening to him. Do you not see what is happening? Can't we all calm down for a minute and realize the implications this kind of hatred could cause to his family? Don't we need to remember that we're all just fellow citizens? What has happened to this election? How about looking at each candidate's platforms - can we get back there? This is the lowest of the low points in our history as a country. I'm disappointed that things have degraded to name-calling and a Hitler-like condemnation of intelligent thinking.

Them ayerabs is gonna get the Whitehouse and make all us real AMERICANS become towel heads along with them. How can The GOP stand for allowing McCain to not expose O(s)bama for what he is. A TERRORIST with a capital T. Them dummycrats is gonna get us all killed by suicide bombers and make us all workship allaah. I too am afraid of Barrack Hussein O(s)bama taking OUR country, the Greatest Nation under GOD (not allah) on Earth. Then he'll make THE USA the middle east and we'll be doomed to H*LL becuase when the Rapture comes we'll be all named mohammed and be musslem.

the preceading rant was satirical. thank you

OBlahBlah supporters are way more "brown shirt" like than anything the other side has ever produced. The cult of personality campaign devised by Axelrod has been widely successful. Mainstream Media types applauding at the convention while they are supposed to be reporters? A tingle up my leg on air from a MSM reporter. Youth songs supposedly done by families but actually made by Hollywood types. ACORN rampant voter fraud. Attacks on Palin & her daughter. Etc. Please.
