So apparently has Danny Ortega and several others. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas's worst nightmare....If senator Obama is favored by Hamas I think people can make judgments accordingly. Huffington Post's Will Thomas breaks down the truth behind McCain's fear mongering claims that Hamas supports Obama: John McCain has repeatedly insisted in public that he wants to run a respectful campaign, but a recent fundraising email from his campaign suggests there will be nothing revolutionary about the Republican nominee's tactics this year. McCain's deputy campaign manager, Christian Ferry, sent an email to donors today with the subject line: "Hamas Weighs In On U.S. Presidential Election." The email, which attacks Obama over his foreign policy stances, includes these paragraphs: We need change in America, but not the kind of change that wins kind words from Hamas, surrenders in Iraq and will hold unconditional talks with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. The letter comes in response to this report of a Hamas leader speaking favorably about Barack Obama. The article -- though not the McCain campaign -- notes that Obama has condemned Hamas, repeatedly said that he would not meet with the terrorist organization, and also condemned former President Carter's decision to meet with Hamas leaders. Contrast the fundraising letter to the praise McCain has won for statements about running a respectful campaign: "It is more than appropriate, it is necessary that even in times of crisis, we fight among ourselves for the things we believe in," McCain said. "It is not just our right, but our civic and moral obligation." "Let us exercise our responsibilities as free people. But let us remember we are not enemies," he added. And speaking of former Rep. Morris Udall, McCain said: McCain, in April, on running a "respectful campaign": McCain said he hopes so, adding that he respects both Obama and Clinton, and believes they respect him. "Americans want more respectful campaigns," he added. And in January, a respectful McCain said: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Nonsense. Hamas is just the Arab version of Likud and Neoconservatives. Both sides want war and endless war, and nothing would make Hamas happier than seeing Likud in Israel and McCain in the US. Nothing would disappoint either side more than having an opponent who actually wants a peaceful settlement.

Tsk, tsk, McCain sounds desperate already.
