I respect McCain a lot but also he is the catalyst for everything we have now. Palin was the first step.

I was always bothered that he made it seem like a Muslim can't also be a "decent family man"

My question to Aunty is, What is wrong with being Arab?

Honestly, I feel like McCain was one of the last few reasonable politicians

He really did not accept the premise, but tried to establish Obama as decent guy. Poor timing, I agree, but if you accept that he wasn’t great with rethoric you can’t just flat out state that he intentionally positioned himself against Arabs. Dangerous to draw the line like that.

I think that is a little harsh on McCain, I always interpreted it as him trying to speak the language of the audience when he defended Obama

I think Hasan is (very rarely) just wrong here. McCain is trying to appeal to her beliefs to see that Obama is a person. That’s why he uses terms like family man. He’s speaking down to her, not about Obama

this guys insistence that McCains answer to the question was attempting to temper the GOP was pretty nuts to watch, he doesn't even begin to realize why making "good family man" a contrast to "arab" is equally racist as what the lady said

Oooh, now I get it! She says Arabs are bad, and McCain kind of agrees with her, he doesn’t defend Arabs, he just says Obama isn’t one because he’s decent. I always thought this clip showed him being a good guy, but now I see he still reinforces the idea that being Arab is bad.

The man undermines himself to defend his opponent against his own supporter, to gain nothing but retain his own integrity, and this guy has to figure out *some* way to find fault with it. Just shows, the ‘us/them’? It’s not just them. 🥺

As someone who lived through this time, this is nothing more than McCain shutting down this line of questioning. McCain wasn’t one to push the Obama “birther” myth. That was Fox News and the far right. McCain wasn’t perfect, but he often chose decency over dishonest hyperbole.

This honestly did as much to elect Obama as anything else, and it’s something the current Republican Party would never do.

I think it’s good to have disagreements. We don’t have to agree but maybe just maybe we find true resolution on the side of compromise.

Italians are often stereotyped as deeply valuing family, I'm not saying they don't, but movies have certainly reinforced that image,Now guess who actually hold family sacred to the point of devotion, yet propaganda portrays them as violent extremists who abuse their own families

I mean McCain literally grabs the mike back out of her hand. So while he can be held accountable for lots of ther stuff, I think he genuinely was trying to tamp her down in that moment.

I’ve always read it as McCain is challenging her notion that he isn’t an American citizen.

I couldn't understand any sentiment regarding what McCain was doing here other than defending his peer that he cared about
