It doesn't take much to anger John McCain, and true to form he got angry in the third Presidential debate:
Let me just say categorically I'm proud of the people that come to our rallies. Whenever you get a large rally of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, you're going to have some fringe peoples. You know that. And I've — and we've always said that that's not appropriate.
But to somehow say that group of young women who said "Military wives for McCain" are somehow saying anything derogatory about you, but anything — and those veterans that wear those hats that say "World War II, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq," I'm not going to stand for people saying that the people that come to my rallies are anything but the most dedicated, patriotic men and women that are in this nation and they're great citizens.
Who exactly are these patriotic citizens of the Heartland?
The above video (available on YouTube) was filmed by Al Jazeera, singling out no doubt the kookiest Americans to make a point. Still, they seemed authentically American to me, and no dubbing was needed to put those vile and ignorant words into their mouths. One of the least bigoted comments was actually the most revealing:
I don't like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash.
Now why on Earth would he ever think that?

I saw that video elsewhere, without any accompanying remarks. It was a perfect cap to hear, at the end, that it was from Al Jazeera TV.
We're all America-haters now, baby!
