Obama Hamas Ties Pushed In McCain Letter: So Much For "Respectful" Campaign
Source: The Huffington Post

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:

Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders. 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."


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.

2. Obama's statement denouncing Hamas...
"Senator Obama has repeatedly rejected and denounced the actions of Hamas, a terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of many innocents, that is dedicated to Israel's destruction," Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor said.

(sorry for the link to WaTimes - that's the only link on the Hamas issue from google.)

This is after Obama criticized Jimmy Carter for talking face-to-face with Hamas.

4. There's no low low enough for a thug.
Just watch. He'll attack Obama with the exact type of things used against him that he denounced years ago.
