More of the Same...

It's looking like McCain's fearmongering and completely skewed and distorted look at reality that he doesn't think much of the people he is hoping to be elected to serve at all.

(CNN) — John McCain said Friday that "it’s clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States" — the second time in as many weeks that his campaign has referenced positive remarks by Ahmed Yousef, a member of that group, about Barack Obama.

On Friday, the presumptive Republican nominee was asked about the Hamas leader’s comments on a campaign conference call with bloggers.

"...I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States," said McCain. "So apparently has [Sandanista leader] 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."


John McCain has insisted repeatedly in public that he wants to run a respectful campaign, but a recent fund raising email from his campaign suggests there will be nothing revolutionary about the Republican nominee's gameplan this year.

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.


The same tactic was utilized by the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign against John Kerry, when the right-wing fearmonger factory made a claim that al-Qaeda was rooting for Kerry to win the election.

It's looking like McCain's fearmongering and completely skewed and distorted look at reality that he doesn't think much of the people he is hoping to be elected to serve at all.
