Well, isn’t this a croc of ass served on a platter of weirdness…OK I have no idea what that means, but hopefully you take it as something being ironic, weird, or just wrong. The lady that is shown below, referring to Obama as an Arab actually works for McCain as a volunteer at McCain campaign headquarters. First, before I go on a rant and show the other video, heres what she told McCain during the rally,
Ok, I thought I’ll give my thoughts on the next clip your about to see. OK, this women works for McCain at his Headquarters in Burnsville, Minnesota. Do they not do background and psychological tests? Also, in the clip she says that she read about Obama’s background at her local library. My question is why would there be a book about Obama’s background in the library that would smear Obama like this, thats if shes telling the truth, because you know she is a whacko drinking the kool-aid.
Next, she said she got her information from a McCain campaign volunteer and from a pamphlet at the McCain campaign office. Also, she mentioned that a lot of McCain volunteers believe what she believes as far as Obama is concerned. Then she said she mad copies of this pamphlet and RANDOMLY goes through the phone book and mails the letters to people’s houses. First, I’d like to acknowledge that this lady has too much time on her hands. Then she said she got her grandchildren and other family members to believe what she believes.
So, basically there’s a kool-aid drinking idiot volunteering for the McCain campaign who harasses people by sending smear letters to their house and has convinced her family to also drink the kool-aid and believe smears about Obama. I suggest The McCain campaign start screening people, or setup some type of HR department for volunteers, I don’t know but they need to do something.
This women belongs in an old folks home…on an island…with no technology…and she given a beach ball called Mr. Wilson 
This idiot needs to be banned from volunteering with the McCain campaign as well as whoever is that volunteer that gave that pamphlet to this whacko. Ok so I’m done trashing the douche bag…she is old so I should probably show some respect, 
but anyways heres the video, once I find the youtube version if there is one then I will post it. Also the transcript is below, video and transcript is courtesy of HuffPo,

Here’s the transcript
Gayle Quinnell: I went to the library in Shakopee and I got lots of … three pages of information about Obama
Adam Aigner of NBC News: And what kind of information did you get?
Quinnell: I got to tell you, you call me. It’s a long story. I’m afraid of what’s going to happen to this country.
Aigner: What would you think would happen? Do you think it would become Muslim country and what would that mean?
Quinnell: It would be bad
Aigner: So even though Senator McCain told you that he didn’t feel that was true and you ought to be more respectful, you still fear that?
Quinnell: I still do. Yeah. I’m not alone. I go to Burnsville, the main Republican headquarters and I do a lot of work over there. A lot of sending out mail and talking to people. And all the people agree with what I’m saying to you about Obama.
Aigner :Then do you feel there are a lot of volunteers for McCain who feel that way?
Quinnell: Yes. A lot of them. In fact I got a letter from another woman that goes over there to Burnsville and she sent me more things about Obama.
Aigner: What was on the letter?
Quinnell: Oh all kinds of bad things about him and how, I mean I have to tell you to call me. It’s all bad.
Reporter: Are a lot of people getting this letter and are a lot of people believeing it and is that turning a lot of votes or support for McCain?
Quinnell: Yeah I sent out 400 letters. I went to Kinkos and I got them all printed out. And I sent about 400 letters. I went in the telephone book and sent them out to people. So they can decide if they would want Obama.
Aigner: Can you give me your name again?
Quinnell: Gayle Quinnell and I honestly think that these people hear about this Obama, they wouldn’t want him.
Aigner: Because they would know what you know in the letter?
Quinnell: Yeah, he read that letter. In fact when I was standing in line , there were about eight girls, young girls standing in line. And they said “what have you got.” I had one of the letters and they said “Give it to me. I want to read it. I want to read it” And they read it. And they just went (shakes head) . They hadn’t read it before and they didn’t (unintelligible) all that information. To me it’s bad news.
Aigner: So maybe if I call you you’ll give me one of the letters maybe?
Quinnell: I sure can!
Aigner: You don’t have another one on you now?
Quinnell: No I don’t. But I can give you what I got and I can give you what she sent me in the mail.
Aigner: I’d be interested to read it.
Quinnell: OK
Aigner: And can you spell your name for me?
Quinnell: Q-U-I-N-N-E-L-L
Aigner: E-L-L? And Gayle is just…
Quinnell: G-A-Y-L-E
Aigner: And where you from?
Quinnell: I’m from Shakopee.
Aigner: Shakopee?
Quinnell: Shakopee, Minnesota
Aigner: And and I’m sorry how old are you ma’am?
Quinnell I’m 75
Aigner: 75?
Quinnell: (Nods yes) And I got a lot of grandkids and a lot of kids, I’ve got five kids. I got seven grandkids and they all think the same way.
(PHONE NUMBER EDITED OUT OF CONVERSATION)
Noah Kunin (The UpTake): Do you volunteer at the Republican Party Headquarters or the McCain Campaign office over in Burnsville?
Quinnell: McCain. McCain Headquarters in Burnsville.
Noah: The McCain headquarters.
Quinnell: It’s out over by , over by that post station there.
Noah: Yeah, I know which one you’re talking about. And just to be sure to make sure we got your quote OK, you called Obama and Arab terrorist?
Quinnell: Pardon?
Noah: You called him an Arab terrorist? Is that correct? Why do you think he is an Arab?
Quinnell Because his dad is. If you… I’ll send you the paper.
Female reporter: His dad is Muslim His dad was Muslim. Barack Obama has never been a Muslim.
Quinnell: No but he’s….
Dana Bash of CNN: He’s a Christian.
Quinnell: He’s not an Arab either, he’s a –
Bash: His father was Muslim, and he’s a Christian.
Quinnell: Yeah, but he’s still got Muslim in him. So that’s still part of him. I got all the stuff from the library and I could send you all kinds of stuff on him. In fact….
Bash: What did you think about McCain said. He said he’s a decent person.
Quinnell: Well he did have didn’t have (unintelligible)… I think McCain wanted to (unintelligible) I don’t think he wanted to say anything against him. You know he didn’t want to cut him down. That was my way of thinking. I don’t think he wanted to cut him down. So he just kind of brushed me off.
Reporter: Plus he criticizes Barack Obama plenty himself, so why wouldn’t he do it now?
Quinnell: Well I probably brought up something that he didn’t want to talk about.
Reporter: Do you think John McCain thinks that he’s Arab? Do you think he knows this stuff that you’re saying you know is fact?
Quinnell: I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t want to bring it up then. I don’t know why. Is there some way I can get to you more information.
Bash: Can you wait for me for like five more minutes?
Quinnell: Yeah.
Bash: I want to an interview on camera. Our camera team is occupied right now. What’s your name?
Quinnell: Gayle Quinnell (Spells name again)
Bash: In case I lose you, you don’t have a cell phone do you?
Quinnell: No I wish I had it on me but I don’t.
Bash: See the pretty lady over there with red hair? That’s our camera. As soon as she’s done , we’ll be over there Ok
Reporter: What was your reaction when Senator McCain backed away
Quinnell: What was my reaction? Well when he didn’t want to talk about it…

Needs no explanation…..just ignorant people who don’t know the real facts or
just choose to ignore them because that’s what they are totally ignorant!!!
yeah, McCain/Palin have drawn some whack jobs. check out my latest rant on the ugly turn this race has taken when you get a chance:
http://expatforobama.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/mccains-last-hope-of-victory-drill-baby-drillinto-the-mother-lode-of-racism-in-america/#comments
Obama/Biden 08
People need to be aware..McCain / Palin have been using ” Plants ” since day one. Ask yourself..how come one member of the audience has that Mic., before McCain / Palin are even introduced. McCain’s Plants starts the hate ball rolling. In a recent rally a man stood yelling in the Mic at how mad he was..not against the economy. But how come the country was turning to socialism..blaming it on that ” terrorist ” Obama. Bloggers searched and found this man was a radio radio host. A coloured man at the next rally..by last name of Harris with that magic Mic. began the hate roll using a similar rant. Harris is also a Radio Host and a ” Motivational Speaker. ” McCain / Palin use those plants at all Rally’s. McCain’s Town Hall Meetings are full of these Plants…and those Republican Voters it appears are too ignorant to notice McCains tactics.
I totally agree that McCain has plants in his audience…..I found it very strange how that young black man happened to be right in the front row, so McCain could come up and hug him…..P..L..E..A..S..E.
This election is just a game to McCain…get in the White House at all costs and worry about the state of the country later!!!
It is so very sad that this woman is so very closed to hearing the truth. But then you have to consider her age & the fact that she is set in her ways. I have found that if a person has been a bigotted person when younger they don’t mellow out with age but just become more entrenched in their belief system. Sometimes they will even use their age as a rational for not changing a false belief. Sure makes me want to be more aware of my own issues as I don’t want to end up like that women. She is totally convenced that she is right,really scary.
That 75 year old woman who was planted in the audience at the McCain rally is an idiot. With one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel,its a shame that at her age she still thinks racial, pointing fingers and not knowing what she is talking about. I would think that people would age with wisdom instead of stupidity. Its terrible that her kids and grandchildren think the same, but then that is only because children learn what they are taught.
I said this was a plant right at the time I saw it on TV. I figured out all of these things that are happening at McCain rally’s are plants. Sad that some people still believe this cr.. that they spread about Obama. I think that the black group that went to Obama’s rally were plants also by the McCain campaign. Can’t prove it but I did search enough to find out they are republicans. I know campaigns throw dirt around on both sides but McCain as set a new low. In the climate we have now over the financial crisis this type of stuff is not what helps the nut jobs to hear at all. In fact I would not be surprised that this stuff being said isn’t what helped fuel those skin heads. All I can say is I use to respect McCain. Not any more.
