yes, Hamas does favor Obama.

SO DOES EVERY OTHER FOREIGN ENTITY !!!

Because World Net Daily is known for their accuracy. Seriously? That's the best they could find to back up their claim? This reeks of Hillary Clinton desperation….

The Republican Fear Mongering Machine is starting. Wow…what a shock.

of course… the snippet tries to demean mccain's camp, but it's true that most of our enemies have come out in support of BO. Chavez, ortega, khadaffi, this hamas creep, etc…

Im sure this this true - why wouldnt hamas want liberal obama who surrounds himself with antisemites and anti-Americans

the macains are using fearmongering. dont you see obama is a uniter? all the world wants him to the the president. the world will heal.

God bless america God bless obama

Here goes my campaign check ………. to Barack Obama!!!

McCain = Bush to the end!

Obama in '08

The American voter is much smarter this time around. Things like this won't work, John McCain should be smart and retract such statements.

The clueless McCain camp is at it again. This is the main reason we need to hurry up and get a democratic nominee so that McCain & Co. won't continue to get a free ride!

Really? And this paper is a credible source why? I saw one at the grocery store today: "Pope Is Really From Mars" Maybe we should send out an APB on this one as well…

Morons, and we wonder why the country is in trouble.

And Al Qaeda favors McCain.

Bin Laden knows that if Obama is elected America's stance in the world will increase and it will be more difficult to recruit. The War in Iraq is Bin Laden's chief recruiting tool right now, once that ends he'll have to struggle to recruit.

McCain will continue to project the anti-American sentiments that W is so good at. Recruiting for Al Qaeda will be easier under a McCain administration than under an Obama administration (or Clinton, though to a lesser degree).

McCain is a desperate man.

John McCain is just trying to spin around Hamas' words in order to further his own campaign. If you don't believe it's true, why would he immediately follow his statements with a "Donate Now" plea?

You Americans should be ashamed of yourselves! I cannot believe how much your country has fallen away from its ideals. It simply does not make any sense at all to link Obama to Hamas. None. When are you going to focus (yes, you Cnn) on the real issues so your nation and regain it's footing? Please, for the world's sake, let's have intelligent discussions.

Man, that's so dirty.

not surprising hamas backs obama for president. hamas also advertised in his churches bulletin. the terrorist both domestic(ayers), and international(auchi, hamas) seem "freindly" with obama. hopefully cnn will pursue his questionable affiliations with terrorist, and not gloss them over.

As a Brit following the US election with keen interest, I'm always shocked to see the sort of campaigning going on.
These sort of extreme smear tactics are rarely, if ever, used here, and when they are they usually become fodder for satirical chat shows as it's so obvious to us all it's just politicians being politicians.
It's not just the McCain campaign doing this, it's all three campaigns; when the world's in the state it is in, it's shocking that the most important election in the world, and perhaps the most important one in decades, is focusing on bowling scores, the words of campaign "supporters" and throwaway comments rather than the real issues at hand.
Shame on the campaigns and shame on the US media.

John McCain is ridiculous. he and his team are fanning a flame that distracts from that fact that this guy Mcain is sooooo out of touch and would be just as horrific for this country as the current President. He's old, he's inarticulate, he has no vision re: the economy and he just not a good choice for this nation. He served this country in the military —great, let's applaud him for that. Other than that he would be another failure and turn this country backwards even more so than the pathetic guy in office now.

Typical Republican crap! If you are not with us, you're against us.

How desperate to see John McCain, the American hero, descend to scurrilous, non-sequitur attacks at this late date. Hamas is not running for election in the U.S. — a fine slate of U.S. candidates are doing so.

Mr. McCain - do not denigrate yourself. Keep the election positive, focused on issues — not distractions — and focus on the needs and wants of average Americans….. not beer magnate heirs and heiresses…

divisive fear mongering = the Republican agenda

These people are despicable. I thought I could vote for McCain because I saw him as someone who could ultimately unite the country.

But I see now that I was mistaken.

Just because Obama wants to hold talks and negotiate (like civilized people), does not mean he wants to surrender. God forbid McCan't comes into power and turns the world into a big Ol' Western with his war mongering. The McCan't camp is just trying to play to the average American's fear of Islam by linking him to Hamas indirectly. What a pity!!

No one should be surprised that McCain would use these tactics. He is more of a lier than HRC. Since when do we as Americans look to what Hamas says for direction in our voting decisions. Does McCain think we lack all independent thought and think "Wow…if Hamas says they like Obama, we have to vote for McCain" What if North Koreans say they like McCain and his policies? Should we then think Obama is better? This type of politics sells Americans short.

My sentiments exactly!!!!!

Wow….here we go. You wanna fight? Okay….bring it on McBush!!

America won't fall for your politics of fear. Not this time. Trying to link Obama with a terrorist regime will be your downfall in 2008. The fact is you want to a continue a failed war and Americans want out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh great now Obama has to apologize because yet another group of people like him. The reason many people like Obama is because he offers the prospect of something different for the first time in a long time.

Sorry McBush. The American people aren't going to fall for Republican scare tactics this time…

Here we go again… old tactics Circa 2000, and 2004

I'm dissapointed that they think we are so stupid to fall for those same tricks again.

Who cares? So the world loves him. You don't have to agree with someone elses' policies to respect them. Why does McCain want to have the "If they're not with us, they're against us" attitude? Maybe if the world leaders would be on "talking terms" there wouldn't be so much violence. It's a known fact that much of the world despises US policy around the world. Now we're finally in a position that we can change that. Yes we can!

Obama '08

I find the outright racism that McNasty and Hillabeans are exhibiting simply deplorable. I could never vote for either one of them!!

OBAMA '08

There is always a negative comment made when there is a discussion of "talks" with anyone who has different ideas from the people who run this country. Well, perhaps we shold consider that the only way we can ever gain any understanding or fimd any peace is to discuss our differences and work them out. The lack of commnication does nothing but create more divides between people. If the powers that be are so much against talking with those who are perceived as oue enemies then why is there so much conversation between those who profess that they are the best choice to run the counry than their opponents? Communication breeds understanding. Silence promotes ignorance.

Some conseratives are so too faced it makes me sick. They never practice what they preach. McCain is Bush in an older body… Let's talk to the lesbian who wants to adopt and see what she has to say about this… please… quote a credible paper, not some two bit national inquirer wanabe.

Your ugly inuendos about Obama and Hamas just lost you a vote and a substantial campaign contribution as well as made me shift from Republican to Democrat.
You should be ashamed of your inept stupidity.
M. Kami

Actually John McCain’s campaign did John McCain a disfavor. This means Barack Obama has more influence over Harmas to bring about a Middle East peace settlements. Bless are the peace makers they shall called the children of God.

John McCain like George Bush and his neo-conservative buddies only know force and to every conflict is regime change and wars.

Is McCain for real? Is this going to be how he attacks Obama? Poll the global community and you'll see that there is enthusiasm acorss the board for Obama. I can't wait to see him doing an international tour after he's nominated so that the voters can see how much the wolrd is looking for us to change, to go back to the great nation we can be, breaking away from the control of corporate interests which are bankrupting our future.

All of these attempts to condemn Barack on hearsay are simply transparent diversions from the issues at hand. I really don't think the public is stupid enough to fall for this again, but I guess we can never underestimate the power of the media to distort the message.

-OBAMA fan since reading "The Audacity of Hope"

Can we even tell the difference between MSM and tabloids anymore?

Yes, I imagine most of the world would prefer us to use diplomacy before bombs. I do not think that would be a bad thing. By the way, Mr McCain, have you figured out the difference between the Sunnis and Shia's yet?

This is good. Is McCain running on the idea that we should vote for him because more dangerous organizations HATE him? Yes, that's a great idea, then they might grow to hate us even more and try to harm us further, BRILLIANT! What a plan.

yOU KNOW WHATEVER MEDIA WOULD CARRY SOME BS LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE STRIPPED OF ALL ITS CREDENTIALS. MCAIN WANTS TO BE ABOUT WAR OBAMA WANTS TO NEGOTIATE TO POSSIBLY DETER FROM GOING TO WAR. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? COUNTRIES WHOM HAVE BEEN FEUDING FOR YEARS WOULD LIKE HELP FOR CHANGE. SO PLEASES TRY ANOTHER REVERSE PSYCOLOGY SCHEME ON THOSE CLINTON AND MCAIN SUPPORTERS. MCAIN AND CLINTON SHOULD BE ON THE SAME TICKET. SHE IS NOW TRYING TO RENIG ON HER COMMENT SAYING NOW OBAMA WOULD BE THE BETTER FIT THAN MCAIN.

Thank goodness we're on the brink of having President Barack Obama who will actually try to speak to our enemies in an effort to create a better world. Shame on you, John, for your failed attempt to dupe the American public into believing Barack Obama will somehow align with Hamas. We're smarter than that. Thanks, though, for encouraging me to donate again to Senator Barack Obama's campaign.

We the People

Right, and Skinheads and Blackwater vets and swiftboat Republicans prefer McCain twelve to one over Obama.

As Hillary has warned, the Republicans play dirty dirty dirty.

This is sick….. McPain shame on you! And you call Obama an elitist at the same time????

Shocker…

Liberal hack tries to discredit where the comments came from by slamming it as "conservative"…

Never mind the fact that an interview was also given by WABC radio as well…

But, that wasn't mentioned for some….strange…reason…

Did you accidentally mail your "journalistic integrity" along with your contribution to Obama's campaign?…

Hack…

What a great way to beg for some money. Sorry but i gave all i had to the Obama campaign.

More proof that McCain is just another four years of Bush in the making. I am tired of this kind of fear-based, smear-based campaigning! Obama offers something better: clear thinking, constructive action, respect for all people, and integrity.

What is Wexler even talking about? Those comment should have been addressed to Obama, NOT McCain.

Wow, Hamas wanting Obama to be president is like a meth pusher wanting a coke head to be his probation officer. We are living in scary times folks….could 2008 be some sort of a cross road for america….which directions will we go?

I am one of those voters McCain's campaign sent that e-mail to-my responce was; not all voters are stupid and do their homework. I watched the ABC debate with Hillary and Barack, he said, "I would not speak with Hemes." regarding Jimmy Carter question. The part that bothers me is all these campaign people just say what ever they like with out researching information, Clinton and McCain. I told the Mc Cain campaign we all have parents and grand parents that are war hero's to us. That is not what the American people I talk to care about. The main concern for me is my pocketbook and all the support and money our political leaders are making and then saying oh…they will help us, we have been listening to that for too long! I am one of those older voters Bill clinton spoke of, and way to smart to listen to all of the Spin Masters words. the Clintons, Bush and Penn Allience are still selling us out even during the campaign. Some americans are oblivious!

Odd. You'd think they'd prefer the party that has driven our country to the edge of financial ruin, allowed the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor to occur, made our nation an international pariah and strengthened international terrorism with a pointless invasion of one of the few secular nations in the Middle East– and a sworn enemy of Al Qaeda, at that.

That just goes to show you. Foreigners don't understand American politics.

Kind of like most Americans….

What a bunch of bull! So much for McSame's nice, respectful campaign.

Didn't Obama say he would meet with our enemies, why the change of tone now?

Oh boy, I can't wait…What's next???? Obama is father of alien spawn who want to enslave all Americans.. No, no it's really true..it was in the Weekly World News!!!!

The reputation and standing of the United States throughout the world, especially in the Middle East is terrible. And Mcsame wants to continue the Bush policy.

It sounds like if elected, Obama will at the very least improve our standing in the world. McSame forgets that this same sentiment of wanting Obama elected is voiced throughout Europe, the Middle East and Canada. He is popular throughout the world. The world is ready for a change also. Obama can bring that change throughot the entire world. The world is ready for the US to take a new path… the path of diplomacy. Actually this fundraising letter is an indictment against Bush and Mcsame, not against Obama. the McCain people might want to retract the letter.

I forgot to add , the only fear we have is of Obama….

One would hope that the lying and fear-mongering would be rejected by the voters, but that's not reality, is it? I guess the Republicans are going to stay with what worked in the past.

BTW, I just heard from Cthulu. He's a McCain man.

Here we go…………so much for playing nice

McShame is at it, again. It's so boring.

Geeez and he said that he would run a respectable campaign. What a joke form the republicans. Obama is liked around the world and it is only showing that our friends including foes are tired of our policies and want change for world peace…………..Please take yourself to a retirement community and stay there.

McCain has to scare people into donating to his campaign. No wonder why he has to take public funds.

Yet some "Democrats" would rather cast their votes for McCain if their candidate doesn't win the nomination?

Wow….

McClinton : same old same old, he lives in the old ear, in war times..
enough is enough…………

who is out of touch??

he thinks we are that stupid???

McCain & Clinton one and the same,
we need economic solutions not political illusions

Wonder what happened to Mark Penn? McCain hired him! What a load of "crock" this is.

This is looking like a chess game,its a trick.
If a group says they endorse u just so as to hurt u and keep the war loving candidiates up.We need to think outside the box. it is not as plain as we see it. This useless Hamas people are trying to manipulate the electorate to vote McSame so that the madness will continue.

Be Wise….

OBAMA08

I guess we can say that the DEVIL himself favors MCCain.

What senator Mccain is trying to do is confused the American people, and I think that would not fly.

We already know you John,. You are the guy that will carry over the THIRD TERM of George Bush, and keep us in IRAQ for 100 years, then go to war with IRAN, then go to war with NORTH KOREA, and go to war with any nations that coughs. Then screw up the already screwed up economy.

Wait a minute, am not ready to eat DUST yet.

Please America, be aware, don't make the same mistake you made with George Bush.

I think Americans should brace themselves and be prepared to moved overseas, if that happens.

JOHN MCCAIN WHO IS RECKLESSLY DISHONEST NOW?

Two Words: Utterly disgusting. McCain talks a big game about running a civilized campaign but America is quickly learning what the truth is.

Sounds like McCain is trumpeting war drums again

WOW, reading that campaign email of McCain's is hilarious! It reads like it was written in a spoof article by The Onion. Kudos to CNN to put it in this article to give context to what the McCain campaign is trying to do to smear Obama.

And once again we are reminded of the fact that just because an extremist group endorses a candidate it doesn't mean the candidate supports the extremist group. I'm sure the KKK would rather McCain win, but does that mean McCain supports the KKK???

I mean, how stupid does the McCain campaign think America is to try that position?!?

Here is another flash - "John McCain is a crook. I remember the Keating Five scandal and his on the matk participation in it. His wife is also a thief. Wow - what a wonderful example.

If I was in a terrorist organization I would vote for Obama too. Look who he keeps company with.

Yeah, and the alQaeda favor McCain, because they know he, like George W. Bush, will make it easy for them to continue obtaining recruits all through the Islamic world. What a complete pile of rubbish! An Obama presidency will be an outstanding boost for our worldwide appeal and in a very positive way—especially in Africa and, yes, even in the Middle East. But here go the Republican McCain, Lieberman, Bush crowd again, trying to distort reality and preach fear. Utterly irresponsible! OBAMA '08 AND '12!!!

So is that Obama's fault that other countries see what we see which is a potential for change. Maybe if we get off of our arrogant/ Elite mind set and start listening to other peoples gripes we can begin to make progress in that region. Starting Illegal wars, namecalling, and ignoring people has not worked. Some of our leaders act like they are children still.

The Mccain camp must think that Americans will vote against Obama if Hamas wants him to win. Well guess what Mccain, that's probably because Obama has expressed that he would talk to anyone in his efforst to diplomatically bring about peace and change in politics. Of course they'll want him to win. At least he is not planning to keep us in Iraq for a hundred years, like you are, and he is willing to treat people more fairly and not look down at them. Maybe the people who don't like the inequity and unfairness that the Bush administartion has shown in the Middle east are feeling a little hopeful that someone will actually work on bringing peace to the region. instead of sending our military to fight, maybe we'll actually do what many, many administrations have already said they would. I think we are going to see a much more peaceful world after Obama is elected, so get ready to spend some money here at home! we need to get back to the basics, make American $ and spend it here instead of on a war that should not have been. They obviously can see that he is right, we should not have been in Iraq to beign with and even they trust his judgement.

Do they think they can once again use the the politics of Fear to scare up some votes?? Do they think they can scare us into submission with their Orwellian tactics? Do they think we want 4 more, or 8 more, or 100 more years of this?

Not this time.

What happened to your respectful campaign, Mr. McCain….That was short-lived.

From now on, I am going to always vote AGAINST anyone who has an R next to his name.

- Sammy
Boston, MA

I have to tell you, I trust either democratic candidate to protect us — and our way of life — better than Sen. McCain

With an ultra-Zionist like Joe Lieberman whispering into McCain's ear no wonder they like the other guy.

let the fear mongering begin. this is almost as pathetic as romney calling obama an elitist..

obama is right.
the americasn people ARE SMARTER THAN THIS

I am really not sure I understand the anger over this one, if it not better to hold your friends close and your enemies closer. He is not and has made it clear a supportor of Hamas, but in this shrinking global world, is it not better to try and sort through things then to continue to say, we are the tough guys and if you don't do it our way then we attack.
Clinton says she will pull the troops out or Iraq but then will attack anyone that messes with Isreal.
She says she gets to make the choice what to do not the Army Generals that probably have a better insight, is this not the George Bush style of ruling, ( yes ruling)
I hope that everyone takes a look at all the issues, this has become a campaign of she said he said ,he said he said.
Americans deserve and should demand better, I am not sure that Obama knowing someone that engagined in terrorists type activities when he was 8 equates to a President pardong some of these same individuals.
The ABC debate was a joke, and it doesnt surpise me that the Clinton campaign does not see the coflict with the moderator that was in their employ. They dont see the conflict with Penn, they dont see the conflict with the ex president taking 800,000 from the Columbians for the free trade deal.
Obama also has some issues, but at least he hits then right on, we may not like the answers, but he doesnt hide from them.

Mary

The McCain campaign comments demonstrate the kind of wacko groups he is willing to use as sources. And he criticized Obama for attending a church where he publically disagreed with the preacher? Welcome to the gutter, McCain.

McCain's Source: World Net Daily, whose current headlines include “District bans 'John 3:16,' promotes demonic leer” and “Lesbian demands custody of Christian mom's 6-year-old.”

The question is….DID OBAMA SOLICIT THEIR SUPPORT?

If NO, leave the man alone Mr McSame.Ur too old for al this trickery.
U critisized the Dems for mudslinging and now u at the forefront of it.
Obama might just be the person to stop this madness in the world or at least a good chunk of it.

I belive this is McCains camp's way of distracting the country and the media from the "Economy has been good for 7yrs and his wife's tax returns stories"
FYI it will hurt the GOP more than help them…see what has happened to Billarry.

Yes We Can

I have to tell you, I trust either democratic candidate to protect us — and our way of life — better than Sen. McCain

John McBush is just like HRC, out of touch with reality. Both want to bomb, bomb and bomb. What is so shocking to me is the lack of relative value this information is. Gas prices sky-rocketing, home
forclosures and on and on. We can even get a grip on our own country's problems more or less what the world thinks about us.
'WE THE PEOPLE' had better wake-up and realize that if we put liars
(McBush and HRC) in the white house our country has baically admitted that we will start the 21st century on a foundations of lies.
if we build on that type of foundation 'WE THE PEOPLE' lose. Again,
this line of reason THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTRAD SEED'. When we plant that seed in shifting sand nothing will grow. Lastly, what bothers me the most is how many people are willing to accept a lair
word and act like we suppose to just go along for the ride. When are we as a country going to send a message to the world that our moral values are that of peace for our all fellow men/women.

Not that I am any Obama supporter..

However-
if Hamas leader said ,"he has a vision to change America"..I will seriously take it as a positive note.

Seriously, if your enemy thinks you are changing and your enemy is no more your enemy- Is not that a good sign?

Cheap tricks John.

Now go to bed.

This is only the beginning Obama! If you crumble over the questions asked by ABC you'll never stand up to the Republicans. I'm sure the countries in Africa, besides Kenya, are looking forward to the US aid that Obama will funnel to them. Obama has already spoken to Brown about support African democracy and prosperity . . . . ."a non-negotiable commitment to Africa" ring a bell with anyone???

Does Hamas get to vote?

Not sure about Hamas, but I suspect most terrorist organizations would *not* favor an Obama administration. They have profited from the militancy of the Bush administration and would likely get more recruits from a McCain administration than Obama. Although, in fairness, if McCain follows through and closes Gitmo, our international standing will improve.

For all the claims of his lack of specifics, Obama's stump speech has always promised to close Gitmo, reject torture and restore habeas corpus. These actions will do more to dry up al Queda's recruiting pool than any military action.

There goes the panic campaign again. They made the life of millions of Americans, miserable all these 7+ years. They are tying to use the same panic campaign again to do this again for another 4 years.

The Trillions of $s spent on war ( most of which has gone into their coffers) did not make situation any better.

Time for these panic campaign and these R's to go !!

At this point, I think everyone in the world wants a change for America away from the crippling policies of the Bush administration, which has brought us only 'shock and awe' at screwing up everything they touch.

Pretty weak, John.
We are not buying it.

Just like we did not buy the "small town bitter" BS.

Obama mean when govt sucks, people vote social issues, like guns, religion, abortion, gays, etc. They "cling" to non major issues like Iraq, economy, etc because they gave up.

I don't know if I agree with that, but it's painfully obvious that is what he meant.

I love how the GOP keeps saying we will "surrender" under a Dem. What a joke. Again, not buying it. I thought we declared victory at some point anyway?

Keep it up John, you've got no hope.

As I said before "Papa McCain" and his campaign need to take a Geritol and a nap!

You know how grouchy Senior Citizens are if they don't get their naps and medicine on time!

How sad! I as a Democrat had a tremendous amount of respect for McCain, but after this episode he has shown me that he is not the type of Republican whom I could see myself voting for. A few years ago I would have most certainly voted for him.

I guess it is a good thing that he is showing his true colors now!

That means

If McCain becomes the President- WE WILL BOMB USA

If Obama becomes the PRESIDENt.we Won't as WE LIKE HIM

STupid- it is that simple

Obama, does not have the best interest for America at heart and he lacks the values of the American people. He has already demonstrated that. I wonder what it's going to take for the Obama supporters to see him for what he really represents! I along with many Americans am really worried about this!

It has to be understood that in general Arabs in history have always had a greater affiliation with the African than the european. After all the top half of Africa is comprised of Egypt with Bethlehem, Tunis, Morroco etc. and people feel they can communicate better with an African. There has always been good relations between Africa and the Arab world including Israel. There has been zero or little communication between the Arabs and the european world, except for Mr. Carter's unprecedented visited. The road to peace requires communication not bombs.

Well whats wrong with talking to enemies?May be thats the only way we could see if we have common ground.
George Bush did not have success isolating Hamas.
Time for change America and Obama is the man to do it.

Well, the problem with McCain is that he has an immensely difficult task remaining faithful to the Christian right and trying to push their agenda. Personally, I have been disapointed in these right wing Christians lately. Pastor Hagee has been giving terible witness lately with his hatred of Catholics and the peoples of India. I don't think it is our job to make non-Christians act like Christians. We shouldn't be so concerned with prayer in the school and having the ten commendments in the court houses. On the other hand, there are some useful ways Christians can participate in the affairs of the state and still not offend people. Hagee needs to pick up on these clues in my view.

Tell me something I don't already know. It is funny that Hamas keeps talking about changing America. How about changing themselve first. For example, stop trying to get their way by strapping suicide bombs and instead use the money to hire the top lobbyist firms to plead their case to our dollar-sign-eyes congress.

Typical McCain….he failed in his overall military mission which resulted in his becoming a POW. I guess he wants to continue this one in order to get his "mulligan". Sorry, John. The rest of the country believes diplomacy and dialogue should be honestly and sincerely tried to ELIMINATE war.

Barack for President!

So does IRAN want McCain to win as reason to wipe up its public towards the nuke as a weapon against US and Isreal. GIVE ME A BREAK old man, you need some young fresh thinking strategist…

dear mCrazy,

Nice try!!!!!!!

At least you can get the name of a group right when you attempt a smear. I'm waiting to see how many Americans still buy into that tired old Bush logic. You know "You're Either with US, or you're with the terrists

Pretty weak, John.
We are not buying it.

Just like we did not buy the "small town bitter" BS.

sorry..Obama MEANT when govt sucks, people vote social issues, like guns, religion, abortion, gays, etc. They "cling" to non major issues like Iraq, economy, etc because they gave up.

I don't know if I agree with that, but it's painfully obvious that is what he meant.

I love how the GOP keeps saying we will "surrender" under a Dem. What a joke. Again, not buying it. I thought we declared victory at some point anyway?

Keep it up John, you've got no hope.

It is time to give donation to Obama, so that McCain realizes how dump he is… I wonder if CNN will publish story "Bush likes McCain".

McCain's using material from WND? Thats low, even for him.

Mr McCain would rather abort the lives of all people that don't get along by bombing them, McCain IS a warmonger, and I think he and his wife should stop by her daddys place, get a free case of beer and hide out in the desert for the rest of his life.

Mr. McCain,

am actually considering to vote for you BUT your mindless attacks on Obama may change my mind in a hurry. This nonsense does turn me off.

Your job, as I see it, is to convince us that YOU CAN:

1. End the Iraq war and;
2. Choose a VP who really, really understands economics.

To date, you have not accomplished either one.

This is ridiculous.

Republican scare tactics just won't work this time. Times are too hard for Republicans to try to scare everybody into making a stupid decision.

John McCain thinks he's a patriot. To imply that a fellow Senator is aiding and abetting Hamas is equivalent to calling the man a traitor to his country. Thes unspeakable lies are just the modis operandi of John McCain. Shame on John McCain.

Deplorable.

Right McBush, because are tactics right now have put us in a better position in the world. Just more of the same old, same old.

And I have seen ads taken out by Hostile Alien Martians that McCain is really one of them sent to the World to take it over!

Well, all the more reason to support Obama. If we are going to be enemy's and kill each other, why not someone who can work with the enemy to try to get the problem resolved. They all ready like the guy, IT is TIME for CHANGE in AMERICA.

McCain is an idiot. He is so worried about Iraq that he neglects the real war on terror which escalating in Afghanistan right now.

Republicans like Bush and McCain thrive on fear mongering to manipulate people. They're counting on thousands of foolish voters to believe exactly what they're told to believe without questioning it. Problem is, most Americans see through the propaganda. These voters may not necessarily want Clinton or Obama, but they might be a whole lot less enthusiastic about McCain, who is increasingly looking like he's running for a third Bush term.

This is only the "tip of the iceberg" of what it is likely to be in the fall, if Obama is so lucky to be the nominee. David Brooks, who writes for the NYT and his story, which apeared in today's Dallas Morning News and is a Obama supporter should be a "must read" for the supporters.I quote segments "it was inevitable that the period of "yes we can!" deification would come to an end. It was not inevitable that Mr. Obama would now look so vulnerable…………in a match up against John McCain, he is hehind in Florida, MIssouri and Ohio, and merely tied in must win states like MIchigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania…………one in five Democrats say they will vote for McCain over Obama……..General election voters are different from primary voters. Among them, Mr Obama is lagging among seniors and men. Instead of winning over white high-school-educated voters………….he does worse than previous nominees"These are now my words, there is a disaster awating the Democrats in the fall. Contact the super delegates in your area and request that they support Hillary Clinton and ask for their vote

Childish.

What a sick man. The part at the end is the most disgusting.

Congratulation, John. You have sold your bid for president to the far right. You sound just like dubyah. I don't think America wants another 4 yrs of that poison.

McCain is an old, irrelevant warmonger engaged in the politics of yesterday. The American public is smarter than this. He will be defeated in November along with the politics of fear and divisiness.

It should be no surprise that the enitre islamic extremist population will support Obama.

YEAH, AND HALLIBURTON WANTS MCCAIN TO WIN!

Mcbush is a war monger……he will be another trigger happy president which we do not need. We need a person who can build USA back to his leadership position. Old man is living in the past and the past 8 years were not very go years for USA……Obama or Hillary for President.

When you have convinced yourself that you cannot win on the issues,then you resort to scare tactics. This is an insult to the intellegence of the people. I hope that as a nation we are smart enough to see through this propaganda. This is a losers mentality.

I don't know why the McCain campaign would even try to use this against Barack! Clearly his foreign policy of peaceful discussions is precisely what we need in that region! If McCain wants to run into every skirmish with guns blazing, clearly he hasn't learned anything from the Bush Administration's failed efforts. We need to reach out to EVERYONE, and only then can we stop the violence, and promote peace. People are only terrorrists from the opposite perspective.

I used to have some respect for Sen. McCain. I even voted for him in the 2000 primary in California. But this is beyond the pale. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Pathetic.

Mc"Cane" is trying to use the same scare tactics that the repugs always trot out. I'm not drinking that Koolaid again but apparently "Maverick" has.

Obama unify, this is what the people of this planet need.
Diplomatic solution is what we want.The supporter
of Mcbush are welcome to join us.
Obama 08

Wouldn't you think people are tired of this mentality? I guess not. People still believe this crap.

A stupid move from a warmonger.. what to expect! It proves nothing but how shallow is McSame and the rest of the warmongers behind this flyer and the NRC campaign in general. Earning the respect of your enemy is a positive thing, a great thing not a ground for attacks. Obama has repeated called the Hamas elected government a "terrorist organization". What else McSame wants him to do or say? Why is it a crime to gain the respect of the world including your enemy. That is the only way you can solve the problems of this world.

It appears the smear campaign has started already. The spirit of Joe McCarthy is alive and well in the Republican party.

Shame on McSame.

MCCAIN WANT TO WIN ON FEARMONGERING AND HATE NOT POLICY.

Everyone all over the world supports Obama..why shouldn't Hamas..Is that suppose to make Obama lose votes..look at what he has done in America in terms of bringing people together and .. this is what is going to happen throughout the world…"Don't you get it"

This is disgusting…..

And seriously, the Bush/McCain foreign policy has been so successful in fighting organizations like Hamas… why not try something different!

This is not an issue. Get a life and stop injecting fear. We cannot be fooled for the second time. McBush and Fox news( we lie, you decide) seem to be afraid of facing Obama because he will completely subdue them. It won't be long because we are coming for all the Republicans and those narrow-minded anchors on Fox news. We will restore this country and take it back from the neo-cons. Yes we can!!!

One wants 100 year of war

The other wants to end the war

Of Course- even enemy knows who is better

Nobody wants bloodshed…

Understand, people, that when any sort of terrorist organization is content with American, that is a good thing! It means they won't feel like crashing planes into our buildings anymore!! We can no longer afford to have such an elementary understanding on terrorism. More war = more ticked off people = more violence. Get it?

Everyone all over the world supports Obama..why shouldn't Hamas..Is that suppose to make Obama lose votes..look at what he has done in America in terms of bringing people together and .. this is what is going to happen throughout the world…"Don't you get it"

Nonsense, If really Hamas wants Obama to win, they are certainly correct; at least Americans will now be able to sleep well without the fear of attack from any corner under Obama.

It's obvious that the words "news" and "News organization" no longer mean what they used to mean. There is now no source for facts, only biased pursuasive garbage. CNN's recognition of this story as news further defines CNN as the purveyor of biased garbage that it is. Shame on you.

Maybe thats not a bad thing! Maybe he can bring peace to the to the Palestinian and isreal affair. I sure know that McCain or Clinton never will!

EVERYONE IN TH MIDDLE EAST WOULD WANT EITHER OBAMA OR CLINTON, DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD WANT SOMEONE WHO IS LIKE BUSH? MCCAIN CAMP SHOULD JUST SAY THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST WANT'S OBAMA. DON'T JUST SAY "HAMAS" TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

Say what you want about McCain, Obama clearly has a few shady characters and groups in his background. Whether or not it amounts to much, they're are still some unusually strong links to a number of less than savory individuals connected to the Obama camp…

This is typical of the Republicans. Let's try and scare everyone to get their support. McCain is just a coninuation of the failed policies of Bush. McCain needs to be retired. He can't even think for himself.

Sorry this is not news!!! CNN mainstream news try writing something with substance.

we will bomb iran, afghanestan, pakistan, russia, china,india,
germany, french……..etc…..

screw the gas prices…education…healthcare…

yours truly,
McBomb

This is far, far below what I expected from John McCain.

Obama, fearless he is.

Defeat the dark side of the Republican party he will.

We can, Yes!

Obama 08

Does he mean to say that we have to choose between:

Talking to the people we are at war with to stop the bloodshed

or

"Bomb, Bomb, Iran"?

All of the Great leaders of this nation worked with the leaders of our biggest enemies to bring peace to the world…

Lincoln
Kennedy
Reagan

You can even include Lyndon Johnson, if your perspective is that blacks were the nation's enemy 40 years ago.

Just another upside to an Obama presidency, IMO.

Is this all we get from the straight talking, distinguished patriot and man of honor? Are these the words of someone who resents being called a warmongerer? Or is this a campaign of fear tactics from someone who is obviously afraid of Barack Obama. John McCain is stooping to Bush politics and the swift boat attacks I am sure will folow. One problem, Americans will reject this type of politics this year. It hasn't worked for Hillary and it cannot cloud the disgraceful actions of the republican party the last 8 years.

Uhm, of course the McCain camp would say that, because it's true, the leader of the political wing of Hamas did say that they want Obama to win. And you can't blame them, most terrorist groups would want Obama to win in November, it takes the heat off of them in Iraq and in the middle east.

Anticipating the coming obama cultists, here are a couple points to set the record straight on some of your B.S. I guess you could call this "Straight Talk."

John McCain never said he wanted 100 years of war/combat/etc in Iraq.

If you bothered to actually listen to what he said instead of gulping down the obama kool-aid no questions asked, you would realize that his proposal for a post-war presence of american troops, just as we did in Japan and Germany, is the most responsible and indeed the most likely course of action to ensure the continued progress of Iraqi democracy and security from enemies both foreign (Iran) and domestic (Al-Qaeda). The operative sentence that unravels the crap you cultists keep harping is the following: "As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed."

We've had a troop presence in South Korea and Japan and Germany for decades, are we at war we these countries? Sometimes I'm not sure if some people are twisting his words in order to make it seem as if McCain wants war to confuse idiots who don't check the facts, or if the people lying about this stuff actually ARE the idiots.

McCain despises war and has said as much, "Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war." Those are his words. I guess this comes from the fact that he's the only candidate who's actually been IN a war and has seen the brutality of it up-close and personal.

But first, McCain actually wants to win the war and not abandon the Iraqis, which Obama and HIllary both promised to do in their debate in Pennsylvania, even adding that it didn't matter what the conditions on the ground or what the generals who actually know more about iraq then them think when they get into office. You want recklessness? Go with Obama or Hillary.

Even Hamas recognized the America will be on the right track under the flagship of Democrat Obama or Clinton. Even Hamas wants peace. Everyone is looking for peace and the republican party is the party of war. Mccain if out of touch and too old to understand the meaning of peace…………….
"war war war…bomb, bomb, bomb iran, 100-year war" John McCain

Democrate 08!

FOREIGN NATIONALS ,LIKE TERRORISTS SHOULD NOT MEDDLE IN U.S. POLITICS . HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH FOR EXAMPLE SHOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEY RENOUNCED VIOLENCE AND RECOGNIZED ISRAEL AS AN INDEPENDENT NATION .
PRAISING OR WISHING BARACK OBAMA TO BECOME THE U.S. PRESIDENT WILL ANTAGONIZE AMERICANS
JIMMY CARTER , AN OBAMA SUPPORTER SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN TALKED TO THEM. HE WAS NOT INVITED BY THOSE TERROR ORGANIZATIONS WHO CONTINUE TO ATTACK ISRAEL.

mcbush cannot have it both ways, great american hero is zero if you are going to continue the sick practice of the clinton/bush odd house. my dad was an navy officer WW2, uncle tommy a west point grad and war hero in Korea–bronze stat twice, prisoner of war who escaped and was written up in readers digest–TOMMY JONES. Dad was even county chairman for the republican party and THEY WOULD BE SICK TO SEE HOW THE REBULICAN PARTY HAS CREATED A FEELING OF BITTER IN THIS COUNTRY AND A BITTER FEELING (bad taste in their mouth) ABOUT US ALL OVER THE WORLD. I feel sick to see mcbush/rove ticket has shown us their sick business as usual. WONDER WHY WHEN SOMEONE COMES ALONG TO CHANGE WASHINGTON DC THE ROYALTY OF BUSH/CLINTON AND MCBUSH RISE UP IN THIS SICK OF SICK PRACTICE??? forget the war hero stuff—get out of washington so we won't poison anther generation of bush/clinton with mcbush. IT REALLY DOES MAKE ME SICK.

That's the kind of stupid and nonsense republican attacks, However they never focus on the issues, Repubvlican's are goiung to loose big time this time because everyone knos thgeir tactics now, people have waken up this trime.

from Canada an obama supporter

This is dirty politics, trying to link Obama with Hamas, such a shameful tactic, but its not going to work, as Obama didn't have anything to do with it, other then they must like his nonwar policy and his diplomatic stance. I thought John McCain was not going to participate in these kind of politics, but obviously he lied. The scare tactic's are over and went out the window with Bush, McCain equals more Bush Policy, war, war, war. warmonger.

Ok, so what's the problem? Don't we want the radical middle east nut cases to make peace and not war?

Just because you lack the communication skills to resolve your problems without a Stealth Bomber, doesn't mean the rest of the world wants to remain at war, all the time.

With McBush, we have one option, keep bombing, keep killing civilians. With a normal President, we at least have the option of diplomacy. We can always drop bomb on defenseless people when the need arises.

My respect for John McCain's campaign just bottomed out. I held great admiration for a man who had served his country and had spoken against the trends of his party. Often acting against his self-interest. When asked his opinion of the use of the "stars and Bars" he spoke honestly to its devisive nature. A move I believe cost him the 2000 election.
I have always viewed Senator McCain with great respect. That was based on honesty, integrity, and the service to his country. I would hope that the man I believed him to be would not stand for his surrogates within his campaign and his broader party stooping to this type of unsubstantiated fear mongering. It’s not enough to speak out against the comments “after the bell has been rung”.
The Dems provide more than enough fodder to allow Mr. McCain the opportunity to win my “Life Long Democratic Vote”. That will not happen if unfounded claims like these are the basis or which he garners his support.

People will probably get a false sense of outrage over this, but its true, Hamas and other terror groups certainly would favour Obama, who wants to withdraw U.S troops from Iraq before the Iraqi army is fully trained. Hamas is allied with Iran which wants nothing more than a weak Iraq to expand its power.

war monger war monger,mccain the world will hate you like bush,we need peace in the world go to hell and raise money there

Terrorists all around the world would love for nothing more than a Democrat to win the White House.

Is Mc Cain just another fear monger?

The Swift-Boating has begun! Expect more of this kind of gutter politics from the Republican right-wing. They should realize, however, that as John McCain concedes, there are deeds in his political career that are difficult to defend. I regret that the bottom-feeders are so active this early. They are polutting the political system.

YES ,YES ,YES THIS IS WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT LET SENATOR OBAMA BE OUR PRESIDENT BE THIS TIME AROUND AND THE TERORRIES WILL SURELY THINKING IT OVER BEFORE THEY THINK OF DOING US HARM

One thing…did Obama also promote the demonic leer?

Both McCain and Obama have been praised and enorsed by kooks and nutcases. So what?

Everybody wants Obama.
McCain is from a different century. Not the person we want to represent us to the world.

Hamas are not the only ones. Obama could restore the USA's reputation worldwide.All my Swiss friends and all my Canadien friends are for Obama (not all Swiss and all Canadiens of course).

Typical Republican tactics. Might work for one more election, but don't underestimate the backlash. Soon the ignorant American voter will be displaced by the informed one, and when that happens the conservatives and their propaganda machine will be in a lot of trouble.

And I say, Bin Laden wants McCain!

This is just a sample of the kind of attacks that McCain would make against Obama if the latter is the Democrat's nominee! He would keep pounding away that Obama is a "lefty" and get considerable politicial mileage from doing so. Hillary on the other hand has established herself as a moderate on foreign policy issues. So, which do you think would have a better chance of winning the election against McCain?

Making silly accusations is one thing… being truly slanderous ( or libelous ) is another. I would never have thought that a man of John McCain's stature would permit something like this to go out under his name. What a disappointment…

Arabs and most non US people know that in the latest two wars the US troops have killed more innocent civilians than Al Kaida did on 9/11 …..
Openess to different oppinions and towards the facts is what the world so desperately needs from the next US government…. not being that biased is something that people can recognize at Obama - even the wrong ones like Hamas

This kind of garbage sounds an awful lot like the tactics BUSH has been using for some time now.

Are you people going to let yourselves be taken advantage of… once again?

Obama and Carter a winning team. America can head back to the heady days of the Carter presidency. Talk about calling back the past.

This isnt the first time Palestinian terrorists have endorsed Obama. They did 2 months ago. They pull for Democrats because they know they are weak. Dont take it from John McCain, take it straight from the terrorists mouths. Democrats are weak, seditious, and anti-American. No doubt about it. CNN, you can play your little headline games that say "McCain says Hamas favors Obama" etc. but the headline should read: "Hamas says they favor Obama". The media and Dems are one in the same.

It's pretty evident that you're just not allowed to criticize Obama in this campaign. There was nothing wrong with that email from the McCain camp. The quote was just a quote, but the fact that "Obama would surrender in Iraq and hold talks with the Iranian regime" is true and he is allowed to be criticized for it. Also, every single one of McCains emails ask for a donation at the end of them. This one is no diffrerent…move along.

and so it begins - the swift boaters are on the loose- Just where is Karl Marx Rove?

How low will the republicans go. but on the other hand this is a good thing now hamas and the other cowardly terrorist might now be ready to talk and make peace. becuase we all know we can use a little of that in the world

OBAMA 08

McShame is showing his true hypocritical colors. Rather than run the 'issue oriented' campaign he pledged, his campaign for which he has responsibility goes to a far right 'nut' rag to get its political news and then vomit it up as campaign talking points. The 'straight talking' machine is just another political hack campaign and American is watching.

Mr. Cain, i'm a canadian & have been following your election campain since the beginnig but this statement is uncalled fot i think all of you should have respect for each other & stick to the issues that you believe in

How does McCain know? I guess he's been talking to Hamas too!!

Does this even warrant attention? Other than the fact that the McCain campaing is attempting to use an uncredited source to brand Obama as a man supportered by terrorist organizations, I don't see why this is news. As a student, this would be like getting research material for a term paper from the Weekly World News while waiting in line at the supermarket. Surely there must be some article out there that attests to John McCain winning support from socialist, homosexual aliens from the planet GX-17 and how they want to destroy the world (but only if John McCain wins the election). This is silly news, so it deserves a silly response. Good luck CNN.

DOES THIS TELL THE AMERICAN ANYTHING????

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER….

HEY A (vote) for obama is a (vote For a G.W. Bush Policy ) McCain likes obama the Republicans likes obama they all for the OiL COMPANY do we need more POLICY THAT HELP BIG OIL ((CLINTON 0 FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

The Republican playbook. The attack machines are beginning to crank up but these machines are inherently defective.

These are all efforts to link Obama with "terrorists." McCain should be ashamed that he's already behind the scenes pulling ineffective strings.
It will tarnish him and his hero image will be reduced to zero.

This is a scare tactic if I ever heard one. But for anyone with half a brain, it should backfire for McCain. I mean, seriously, would we rather have a president who will not listen and will run over to the Middle East to drop bombs on the civilians that are left or do we want a president who is willing to talk things out, not make knee-jerk decisions that land us in quagmire wars, and listen to all sides? The future of our country, our international standing, and our children depend on how voters answer that question. I hope we make the right decision, because if we make the wrong one (and act out of fear rather than reason), we deserve everything thing we get.

I think this type of tactic is disgusting and is exactly why we can't have four more years of Republicans in the White House. Democrats must stop the in fighting and unite against McSame

Ah, so now McCain is going after the ignorant vote. Vote for more fear mongering, vote for more of the same foreign policies that have made our country less safe and less respected..No diplomacy. How refreshing.

Ya, well, this coming from a guy that intends on continuing the horrendous Bush legacy of lies, murder and greed. We need change in Washington and John (Little Bush) McCain is certainly not the answer. Keep up the lies John - you are helping the cause.

Senator McCain's camp also claims that Elvis, Buddy, Jimi, Jim, Janis, John, Abraham, Martin, John, Bobby, Abbie, Mr. Kangaroo, and Mr. Rogers are all also supporting Senator Obama.

ABC reporter George Stuffing-it-ad-naseum reports that the Senator Clinton campaign argues these endorsements shouldn't factor into final analysis because they are not considered SUPER delegates.

James Carville is still wondering which of the 13 he should label as Judas.

Stay tuned.

O John McCain is there anything you and your republican party wont try to scare the voters to vote for your pathetic campaign? The american people have lived in fear for the last 8 yrs and nothing good has come out of it. Only more dead soldiers
