So, Maybe That 'Hamas Endorsed Obama' Talking Point Wasn't So Unfair?

Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 7:05 PM

Still a bit of a cheap shot from the man who says Jeremiah Wright's off-limits, but Obama's associates always do speak loudly about his priorities. Today, an adviser gets canned for hangin' with Hamas:

A Middle East policy adviser for Barack Obama has left the campaign after acknowledging having held talks with Hamas, FOX News confirms.

The Times newspaper in London first reported Friday that the campaign was severing ties with the adviser, Robert Malley.

Malley said he had been in contact with the Palestinian group, but only through his work for a “conflict resolution think tank,” and not on behalf of the Obama campaign, the newspaper reported.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with Obama's actual policies or feelings about Hamas, of course.

Bad associations are a bad idea. If you lie down with dogs, you are likely to get fleas.

Read closely, Goat
That "former" staffer didn't become a "former" staffer until after he had those meetings with Hamas.

Another glaring double standard
How come all I've been hearing from Republicans for years is that we aren't supposed to listen to what all these yokel foreigners have to say? But here we go again, taking the word of one of said yokels and running with it, seemingly contradicting the 'NO FOREIGNERS' theme that you've all been harping on for years. Hypocrites.
