Statements likes, on both ends, make me sad. You care enough about a politician to put up an protest effigy for Halloween and declare yourself a "big supporter," but you don't care enough to actually look up any facts? Boo.
I'm sure you can appreciate, however, that looking up details is not in the best interest of Obama supporters in this instance. Racism is offensive, so if they can continue to reframe the election from "who would be the better President" to "all McCain supporters are racist bigots," it helps them with undecided voters. No one wants to be racist bigots, so as long as the HopeChange Youth Army can continue to act like there's this racist oligarchy out there in the McCain camp, it helps them, even though you and I, as reasonable people know that John McCain isn't racist.
