Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on Saturday thanked Republican nominee John McCain for quelling the hostility toward him that has grown increasingly nasty among McCain audiences.
“I want to acknowledge that Sen. McCain tried to tone down the rhetoric yesterday, and I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other,” he said at a rally in north Philadelphia.
McCain, he said, “has served this country with honor and he deserves our thanks for that.”
At a stop Monday in Albuquerque, McCain rhetorically asked “Who is Barack Obama?” A man from the audience shouted “Terrorist! ” The same day, at a rally in Florida, McCain running mate Sarah Palin was criticizing Obama’s ties to 1960s radical Bill Ayers when a supporter said “Kill him! ”
McCain tamped down the acrimony on a visit to Minnesota on Friday.
He was taking questions from voters when a woman called Obama an Arab. McCain, according to news reports, was visibly stricken and shook his head. He took the microphone from her and said, “No, ma’am.
He’s a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”
