Quoting myself here but I would like to show that McCain has denounced some of the more extreme statements his supporters have been making about Obama.
Quote:
The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."
...
"If you want a fight, we will fight," McCain said. "But we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments." When people booed, he cut them off.
"I don't mean that has to reduce your ferocity," he said. "I just mean to say you have to be respectful."

McCain booed after trying to calm anti-Obama crowd
Here's a video of him (that Flasch might be referring to a few posts up) correcting a supporter who states that Obama is an Arab, followed by McCain saying Obama is a decent family man and some applause from the crowd.
