However, let's not paint all McCain supporters as being as ignorant as these folks. I know that wasn't the intent. There are going to be ignorant people no matter what party there involved with.

So true redsk1. I think we can also say there are going to be ignorant people no matter what country there involved with. Living in southern Germany I was a little surprised how much the Turkish immigrants were reviled. Crime: everybody blamed the Turks. Weak economy: the Turks were driving down wages/incomes. Your wife cheating: she's f*ck!ng a Turk. (Ok the last one I didn't really hear from any Germans)
Seriously, bigotry and racism is a terrible but common piece of human nature. Really big when special people can help bridge the gap i.e. Ghandi and MLK Jr. Maybe Obama could be another but it's hard to say.
