McCain has been forced to try and tone down his supporters at his rallies as they increasingly shout out "terrorist", "liar" and even "kill him" when Obama is mentioned.
"He's a decent family man (and) citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign's all about," McCain said at the town-hall meeting in Lakeville, Minnesota.
The plea, which seems to undercut the thrust of his aggressively negative ad campaign, drew boos from the crowd but appreciative recognition from Obama.
Critics say the seething anger seen at McCain rallies has been whipped up by campaign ads which have accused the Democrat of associating with terrorists.
Civil rights campaigner John Lewis today said McCain and Palin were "sowing the seeds of hatred and division" with their incendiary rhetoric against Obama.
"As public figures with the power to influence and persuade, Senator McCain and (Alaska) Governor Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all," Lewis said in a statement on Politico.com
McCain has also been forced to sack a prominent Virginia Republican figure after he wrote a newspaper column mocking a potential Barack Obama administration.
MCCain spokesman Bobby May was dropped from his job as McCain's Buchanan County campaign chairman for writing that Obama would paint the whitehouse black and hire rapper Ludacris to rewrite the national anthem.

Here it is in a nutshell...
Scream and yells hail from their crowds...
“Kill him!”
“Terrorist!”Yet no from the podium says a word to pacify the hatred, the evil that is spewed!
They offer the use of wireless microphones to the hateful crowds- "tell us how you feel!"
They smile they welcome such disgust such loathing! They thrive on it!
Are these leaders of the free world? Are these intelligent and benevolent people that we want our children to follow and learn from? They act like political harlots, would be Christians that are no where
near what I as a Christian would acknowledge as Christian!“Kill him”
Their eyes light up, their teeth grind and then sparkle!Look up the word “fascist”- you will find their definition there!
