McCain, Obama, Hamas
McCain's performance on the Daily Show and his remarks today are, in word, slimy. Here's the gist:
"It's very obvious to everyone that Senator Obama shares nothing of the
values or goals of Hamas, which is a terrorist organization," McCain said.
"But it's also a fact that a spokesperson from Hamas said that he
approves of Obama's candidacy. I think that's of interest to the
American people."
The right answer is that nominees for president do not legitimize the attempts of foreign terrorist groups to intervene in American elections. But what's galling here is the Clintonian passive-aggressive pose: I'm not saying it, but the "America people" are "interested". It's a way to peddle slime while pretending that you're not. At some point, McCain will have to choose. But the signs aren't too good.
