October 10, 2008: At a John McCain town hall meeting in Minnesota
McCain Supporter:
"I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not, he's not uh — he's an Arab. He's not American. He wants to bring socialism to America, and I'm scared."
John McCain then retook the microphone and replied:
"I don't know if he's Arab ma'am, we'd need to see the birth certificate to be sure." (McCain chuckles) [Crowd responds in uproarious laughter]
"But you are right to be scared about his ideology. Barack Obama and his supporters want to drastically change America as we know it in order to spread the wealth around, and we must do whatever it takes to stop that from happening."
