Muslim, Black, Unpatriotic, Un-American, Sexist: Just a few of the words used as insults hurled at Barack Obama since the inception of his presidential campaign. Despite Barack Obama's commitment to American politics, distrust of him runs deep in many parts of the US.

As if the previous attempts to slur Obama weren't enough, at a town hall meeting on Friday, one of John McCain's supporters took the bigotry to a whole new level when she stood up and claimed that Barack Obama is "an Arab."
