Looking for photos of McCain with a minority (who is not a member of the Congress, the U.S. judiciary, or the Executive Branch) taken he won the nomination. That is, since all his competitors bowed out of the race.

I want to give the guy a fair break.

Please post the URLs only of your findings in this thread.

I've only found two so far.

This one also doesn't count. Ellen Degeneres is a lesbian (minority) but is a celebrity. Those don't count either.

Why. Will it actually prove something or just help support an unfounded accusation to bolster a prejudice against John McCain.

I socialize with minorities (no celebrities however) but never thought to have my picture taken to provide evidence of my Diversity Good Guy Credentials.

While you're at it, get a speech where the Christian church member Obama proclaims that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. That's the basis for Christian belief.

After all, he attended the same Christian church for many years.

I think this is a reference to when the republicans sent some women dressed in muslim head scarves to one of Obama's speeches. Remember? They demanded they be seated directly behind Obama (and thus be in the picture), then made a big fuss about how they were snubbed. And, of course, if they had been in the photo the republicans would have jumped all over it, insisting this somehow proved Obama is Muslim and obviously would be favoring muslims.

You never see McCain with homeless people sitting behind him during his speeches, either... but they try to make a big deal of that with Obama.

The whole thing is moronic, and I think most people see through it. That's why it's usually considered a non issue.

Why don't you put up pictures of McCain as POW which he was for 5 years...if you have nothing better to do and want to make a point....maybe you can put pics of Obama on vacation and Pelosi promoting her book while others are waiting for a discussion about drilling for oil.

You mean, like his adopted daughter, Bridget, from Bangladesh?

Just do a Google Image search on Bridget McCain.

You mean something like the way Obama has white folks with him all the time?
I have never seen so many white folks in ads before and he always finds "little white grandmas" and "middle-aged" white women hugging him like they were best buds.
Do you think with all these white folks coming out Obama's ears that will somehow cause white folks to want to vote for him??
I always think of the saying, "some of my best friends are white"
yea, right bucko!
Not all of us are on the Obama train and are waving as it leaves!!

Wow!!

You're really tuned in to Senator Obama's ads! Good for you. Very interesting how you point out his diversity too, nice to see a candidate reach out isn't it?
