The possible next president of the United States once again displays either his astonishing ignorance or stunning mendacity, albeit this time through the mouth of an adviser:
McCain adviser Steve Schmidt told CNN’s Dana Bash that the Hamas view was “a fair issue for the American people to ponder should he be the Democratic nominee for president.”
“Hamas has said they want Barack Obama to win. The reason for that is his policy. He wants to negotiate with the terrorist-funding, nuclear-aspiring, holocaust-denying, Israel-threatening dictator of Iran.
Iran has a ‘dictator’ about as much as the USA has a dictator … possibly less so. But we all know dictators are bad so WTF, let’s just throw the word out there and let it do some damage.
I guess it’s fair enough for politicians to engage in manifestly dishonest propaganda if nobody calls them on it. The big question is why the MSM allows people like the Bush and McCain mobs to get away with it. Oh yeah that’s right, they’re too busy tracking down that serious story about why Barack Obama is such a lousy bowler.
