The Daily Show had a great segment last night about this.  First one
about the crazies his campaign seems to be inspiring:

And the next a segment about McCain's response to this yahoo--where he
refutes her claim that Obama is "an Arab" by saying, "No, Mam: he's a
good, family man."

I'll admit that, when I first saw the interchange at the rally, I was
so distracted by the yahoo and the fact that he had to defend Obama
against her--but his meaning--that I had overlooked his actual words,
which were as inflammatory, if not more so.
