At a John McCain rally in Woodbridge, Virginia, three people handed out "Obama for Change"
bumper stickers with the Communist sickle and hammer and the Islamic crescent, saying Obama was a socialist with ties to radical Islam. Several moderate McCain supporters, Muslim and Christian alike, struck back - relentlessly bombarding the group distributing the flyers until they left the premises.
Man: I understand you're a Muslim?
Republican: No, I'm not a Muslim.
Man:
What are you?Informed Rational Republicans fighting back:- "This is wrong."
- "I'm with the campaign, and we don't endorse this behaviour."
- "You can be any religion and be for McCain."
- "I don't think it is in any way a bad thing to question Barack Obama's ties, but we need to do that in a respectful manner."
- "Shame on you guys because we're Muslims, and we're McCain voters, and you guys are taking votes away."
Peace,
