Not that I'm any kind of McCain fan, but he sure got that part right.

Even in front of hostile Tea-Party crowds McCain didn't let that crap slide:

McCain seized the microphone from the hands of a woman who called Obama "an Arab," and scolded her.

"He's a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues," McCain said, to scant approval.

McCain can also be seen correcting kooks on-camera, in Alexandra Pelosi's documentary Right America: Feeling Wronged - Some Voices from the Campaign Trail.
