[Ben Affleck:] You know what's interesting about this whole idea of this, this, this intolerance and this hate, and this terrorism thing, I, I
noticed from the
debate the
other, the
other day from, it wasn't the
debate actually It was this conversation he had It was this woman who said to McCain "Obama is an Arab" (right), and he said "No no no m'am he's not an Arab" Oh I
though this is wonderful he's repudiating this kind of intolerance and hatred He said "No no he's not an Arab, he's a
good man" (right) [Laughter] (He said he's a
decent citizen) Hold on, what if I
said to you, what if someone said "I heard he is a
Jew" and I
said ""No no he's not a
Jew, he's alright" [Laughter and Applause] "I hear the
guy's a
catholic", "Catholic? No, he's a, good decent guy" (right, yeah) Arab and good person are not antithetical as to one another (right, that's that was) [Applause] This idea of, this prejudice that we've allowed to fester in this campaign where this, we've allowed this idea where, denying the
fact that Obama, who yet is not an Arab, nor is he a
Muslim, we've allowed that denial to turn into the
acceptance of both of those things as a
legitimate slur, is really a
problem, you know what I
mean? (But the
irony of John Mccain) These are slurs, these are category human beings, they are not slurs of people [Applause]
