The "Obama is an Arab" Lady Follow-Up Interview

Mind boggling. It's sad how this granny has been, along with other folks, cynically mislead into thinking "dangerous" things about Obama. I wonder how much local coverage this is getting in Minnesota since she's from Shakopee. Both video clips on the link. (I hope the wing-nuts haven't started threating her either.) The whole interview is worth a read.

The Uptake: McCain Responds to "Arab" Epithet at Rally: "Obama a Decent Family Man" - Huffington Post - 10 Oct 08

"Aigner: So even though Senator McCain told you that he didn't feel that was true and you ought to be more respectful, you still fear that?

Quinnell: I still do. Yeah. I'm not alone. I go to Burnsville, the main Republican headquarters and I do a lot of work over there. A lot of sending out mail and talking to people. And all the people agree with what I'm saying to you about Obama.

Aigner :Then do you feel there are a lot of volunteers for McCain who feel that way?

Quinnell: Yes. A lot of them. In fact I got a letter from another woman that goes over there to Burnsville and she sent me more things about Obama.

Aigner: What was on the letter?

Quinnell: Oh all kinds of bad things about him and how, I mean I have to tell you to call me. It's all bad."

Of the 21 members of the committee, five have been engaging in these shady efforts."

"Watch what happened last week when 'Clean Election and Voter Fraud Committee,' member Tom Davis tells an audience of reporters at the National Press Club last week that Republicans don’t suppress votes. The reaction? They laughed! A lot!" [YouTube link]
