From same article: Comedy aside, McCain used the opportunity to challenge Obama, who moved a step closer to claiming the Democratic nomination after Tuesday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Stewart asked whether McCain really believed the Islamic terrorist group Hamas had endorsed Obama. McCain's campaign issued a fundraising letter after a Hamas adviser, Ahmed Yousef, said the group likes Obama.

"It's indicative of how some of our enemies view America," McCain said. "And I guarantee you, they're not going to endorse me."

Off camera, Obama's campaign said McCain should apologize for "repeating tired and divisive attacks about Barack Obama that he knows are flat-out untrue."

My prediction.... The media has built this false sense of security around McCain knowing that he has a hot temper. They will continue it until the dem candidate is decided. Then like a lottery the media will confront McCain trying to get him to explode on camera. The outlet that does it wins the lottery.

LOL. McCain's comment was 100% factual, which means this attack from Obama is a divisive attack which Obama knows is flat-out untrue.

All the thin-skinned Obama & Wife have done in the primary is accuse others of being “divisive” and lying about their oh-so-oure selves, and it’s what they’re going to do in the GE. He won’t offer anything more than some vague “hope and unity”, never addresses, much less brings up, any concrete issues. And it’s only a taste of how he’s going to run against McCain in the GE, and he will get away with it, by either implying or outright stating that any questions about him, his associates, his “positions” (does he really have any?) or anything else are “racist” attacks. I have yet to see any reason that McCain is the person to call him on this and not let him get away with it. Obama and his bitter whiney wife are pretending that they are “above” it all, and deserve to never be questioned about anything at all, merely worshipped for their “uniting and hopeful” rhetoric. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I hope that someone who speaks for the GOP is smart enough to call them on it in such a way as to not allow them to throw out that tired old race card again. If he can’t stand being legitimately questioned about his stances (if he really has any), then he has no business running for leader of the free world, where his positions matter above all. It’s too bad Tony Blankley isn’t being more vocal, he is expert at pointing out that the emperor has no clothes in such an articulate way as to leave no room for any race-baiting shenanigans.
