You know how McCain's above the fray? He's a straight talker who doesn't sink to the level of previous Republicans? He's respectful of the other party and wants to reach across the aisle? Well, forget that nonsense. Republicans previously said Osama bin Laden would rather see a Democrat in the White House than a Republican. Now, the McCain campaign is saying that Hamas, the Palestinian group labeled terrorists by the US government, is pulling for Obama. From CNN:
“Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders,” writes McCain deputy campaign manager Christian Ferry. “Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Hamas Prime Minister said, ‘We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election. He has a vision to change America.’”
That uncredited quote is drawn from an interview published Monday by conservative news site World Net Daily, whose current headlines include “District bans 'John 3:16,' promotes demonic leer” and “Lesbian demands custody of Christian mom's 6-year-old.”
The McCain fundraising e-mail says Obama’s stands have earned him “kind words” from Hamas. “John McCain's foreign policy provides a stark contrast to the policies of Barack Obama,” writes Ferry. “While Senator Obama would surrender in Iraq and hold talks with the Iranian regime, John McCain will never surrender in the struggle with Islamic extremists. Please join our campaign today by making a generous donation of $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or $2,300.”
For some reason I doubt these disgusting tactics will do anything to sour the love affair between McCain and the media.
