"He's not an Arab he's a good man." Ben Affleck brought up this statement by McCain on last Friday's Bill Maher show. He made the point that just labeling someone an Arab is basically saying they are somehow a bad person. We all know how this came about but I think it behooves us all to fight against the urge to stereotype people we don't understand. I'm glad Mr. Affleck brought it up.
Also on the show were Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont (I) and Martin Short. Senator Sanders had a long list of good talking points, one of which was about McCain's robo calls. He said that if McCain wins there will be millions of Americans who are angry that McCain used dishonest means to get elected and if McCain loses there will be millions of Americans who think their president is a Muslim terrorist.
Below is an excerpt from the show.
