In the clearest indication yet of how he intends to confront Sen. Barack Obama on foreign policy issues in the general election, Sen. John McCain on Friday again portrayed the Democratic contender as being the favorite of Hamas, the militant Palestinian group, and implied that he would also be friendly with Iran, a Hamas ally.
Speaking at a news conference in New Jersey, McCain said he believed that comments made by a Hamas leader approving Obama's candidacy were "a legitimate point of discussion," and he went on to accuse Obama of agreeing to negotiate with the president of Iran, who Wednesday referred to Israel as "a stinking corpse facing annihilation." He described that as "a distinct difference between myself and Sen. Obama."
Obama has not let the attacks go unanswered. On Thursday, he replied by saying that McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, was "losing his bearings" and engaging in "smear" tactics.
"My policy toward Hamas has been no different than his," Obama said in an interview on CNN.
McCain's attacks are part of a broader effort by his campaign to depict Obama, the leader in the delegate count in the Democratic race for president, as inexperienced and naive on foreign policy in general, and soft on terrorism and its sponsors specifically. Throughout the campaign, Obama has also had to fight a related perception that his support for Israel is also weak.

This is what I call "vicious truthing" and McCain needs to step it up about 10 notches, pronto!
Oh but that article was funny though. McCain points out a few facts and the left goes ape.
If they didn’t like being saddled with a terrorist appeaser, they shouldn’t put Obama up as their candidate. It’s not hard to figure out. Like what Rush said, “Now, this is how messiahs operate. Messiahs can say and do whatever they want. If you call them on what they’ve said or if you remind people of what they’ve said — yesterday, the definition of an attack on a Democrat is to tell the truth about them.” and that is all there is to it.
It wasn’t all that long ago terrorist appeaser Obama was yipping about McCain expressing his view about being in Iraq for a hundred years and terrorist appeaser Obama went on by twisting what McCain said. That’s not an arrack?
Clearing Obama is not ready for prime time.
Except for that O'Malley guy he just fired from his Middle East Advisory Committee for working for Hamas. I wonder which perspective he was advising from, Hamas or Israel? Combine these two stories with the 57 states gaffe and the success of Operation Chaos and I'd say B. Hussein Obama has had a bad week!
What is going on here is Obama is getting paid back. I predict a quiet truce where Obama will agree to quit misquoting McCain on the 100 years remark and McCain will quite citing Obama’s Hammas endorsement.
We will never publically hear about this, but Obama is learning that McCain can play rough if Obama wants to. Obama thinks he can get away with it, but not if he wants to appeal to other than the loony left.
Let’s be honest, McCain didn’t come up with this idea, his paid political advisors did. That’s why they make the big bucks. McCain has admitted that he doesn’t understand economics.
He can’t multiply $2,500 OB/GYN Medicaid and charity hospital care for his illegal immigrant mothers X 1,000,000 anchor babies and realize that the resulting number begins with a B. It’s only our money.
"Smear tactics"? Not if it's true. So Obama, have you had meetings with Hamas?
He’s the favorite candidate of the Weatherman terrorist organization too.
Obama refused to criticize Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas because “Carter is a private citizen” although he had no such problem criticizing Don Imus’ “nappy headed hoes” comment and demanding his termination.
Obama Flip Flop
"He’s the favorite candidate of the Weatherman terrorist organization too."
The Weathermen don't still exist as an actual terrorist organization, do they? I remember them from the 60s and 70s and I guess I thought they were defunct. Maybe I'm wrong in that idea. Are they still active?
John McCain lately has been showing he will not be intimidated by liberal media. And I like it. His commitment to appoint judges like Alito and Roberts makes me even more enthusiastic about the words, President McCain.
At least it’s a start. Maybe by Dec he’ll point out the things barack mcgovern said in his books about his divided loyalties.
Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.
From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”
From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
HATRED OF WHITES:
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama
From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!
A WHITE CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED FOR MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS!!!
