A vote against McCain is a vote FOR Hamas:
>OB(H)AMA(S)
by Erick Erickson, 05/02/2008
We are shocked, shocked, to find the media (again) derelict in its duties. Barack Obama has run his campaign with numerous advisors who the campaign would have everyone believe are just not that plugged in to the campaign. Additionally, Obama refuses to divulge who these people are. Inevitably, however, word gets out that Obama has, yet again, surrounded himself with an undesirable.
This time the undesirable is Robert Malley. Coming on the heels of the Obama campaign saying it was “flattered” by terrorist group Hamas’s endorsement, the foreign press -- in this case the London Times -- pointed out Mr. Malley has close ties to Hamas. All the left has been willing to do is point out that the Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Back in February, in fact, the New York Sun pointed out Bob Malley’s close ties to the Obama campaign and Malley’s close ties to Hamas. At the time, however, the mainstream media ignored the story because, well, the Sun is a right-wing paper. Thank God for all the right wing news organizations or we might never have known Obama is getting advice from a man who views Hamas as a legitimate organization.
Obama’s response, like with his grandmother, his preacher, and other advisors who distract from his public image, was simple. He tossed Malley under the bus. What is more troubling, though, is Obama’s willingness to surround himself with people who view Israel as the bad guy. Obama has gone through great lengths to show a pro-Israel campaign face. Behind the scenes Iran and the terrorist gangs of the Middle East see a man who will side with them, or at least turn a blind eye to them, as they wage war on Israel.
At some point the press needs to do its job and start finding out the other Obama “informal advisors” who are telegraphing to terrorists a different message than Obama’s public facade.< |
