I agree, but actually the woman in red said "He's an Arab", or "...a Arab". McCain properly (well, sort of) disabused her of her notion: "No he's not. He's a decent person", etc. which in and of itself is kind of odd, if you really think about it. He has not done anything heroic since, in my opinion. He punched the religious right in the nose once, (Falwell) then proceded to backpedal on everything that decent people would have liked about him, including selecting Palin and never admitting she was a disaster.
Republicans are stuck with the bigoted image because they cultivated it, cherished it, giggled about it, and pandered to it. They all deserve what they have brought about upon their own persona.
