WTF! Oh man, he’s tanking big time. I bet Billary are laughing their butts off.

Not after this flub, especially since he has a LONG standing connenction to an avowed terrorist.
loose cannon alert... --> Obama
Good grief! There is nothing legitimate whatsoever about terrorist groups. People groups have legitimate claims, at least from their point of view; but terrorist groups? I’m afraid there’s nothing legitimate, in a civilized conversation or debate, about expressing your claims via terror. That alone DELEGITIMIZES any claims they might otherwise have had.
It’s like saying that a burglar who feels entitled to what is in my house interferes with those legitimate claims by breaking in. In fact, that sounds kinda like OJ’s defense in his present trial.
A middle schooler could beat this guy in a debate.
They may have legitimate claims but they are using violence and terror to solve their problems. No sympathy from me.
Forgive me, but Obama here doesn’t sound much different than what’s being uttered by Foggy Bottom right now under the Bush Administration.
Obama thinks we should simply sit down with terrorists, ask what they want, give it to them, and we’ll all be happy. Sadly, a Jewish friend said the same thing, speaking of Israel. If she’d just sit down, ask what Hamas/Hezbollah want, barter a little, everything would be hunky dory. He did say Israel had a right to exist. Somewhere.
> He continued by stating Hamas and Hezbollah violence
> weakens the groups’ “legitimate claims.”
Yes, following are some of their “legitimate claims”, right out of the Hamas Charter, visible in all its glorious splendor at this link.

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”
“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”
Say good bye to Florida B. Hussein Obama! Why would any Jewish person vote for the schmuck?
Yeah, let's ask them WHY they hate. WTF?
This NEEDS to be in breaking.
...and if Mr. Obama tries to name just ONE ‘legitimate’ claim that these terror groups may have...he should be asked to make a parallel analysis of Hitler’s ‘legitimate’ claims and how they were hurt by his hate-speech and violence, and what he would have been done to legitimize the Nazi party.
But that’s unfair to ask of him...liberals don’t need to cite facts, figures, or examples!
Who doesn't? What nation, tribe, sect, clan, group or team in all of human history hasn't been able to lodge a legitimate claim about something? Certainly we want to be as fair and neigborly as possible, but at the end of the day, politics is the art and science of advancing your nation's interest.
But what of this strange character we have running for office? Does he really think it's possible to right the wrongs of the world without creating new ones? Or does he not care, so long as it's done in the name of fairness?
Is Obama so tired of the American Empire that he's now running as the American Umpire?
