Hamas endorses Obama

:eek:

If Bruce Springsteen can do it......why not?

Bruce Springsteen is endorsed by Hamas? That seems kind of pointless.

No...that's not it at all....

Use the Google.

Obama wears a turban and is supported by Hamas. Sweet.

Sigh, like anyone needed more "OMG MUSLIM" ammo. This won't phase anyone who knows better, and it will only enforce the crazy from those who are so sure he will make our children speak Arabic by the end of his first term.

Rewriting history a bit there, eh?

So, do we let Hamas dictate who Americans elect by automatically voting for the other candidate? I think not.

I don't know what history book you have been reading but Carter negotiated for the hostages' release prior to his leaving office (Algiers Accords anyone?) ....what may have precipitated Carter's losing the election was the failed and fatal rescue attempt by our military.

if you are thinking about what I think you are referring to (as far as Reagan and his election campaign officers getting the hostages freed) then please put that in the Conspiracy Theory thread.

^^^Actually the old conspiracy theory was that the Reagan campaign operatives communicated with Iran and asked them to hold the hostages until Reagan won the election (the infamous "October Surprise" theory). The first "keep 'em in there" conspiracy rumor was that Carter "wanted" the hostages held through the primary season to help him beat Ted Kennedy. The reality is that the negotiations were conducted through the Carter Administration (Warren Christopher was Sec. of State) with mediation by Algerian diplomats (thus, the release agreement was called the "Algiers Accords"). The accord was signed on Jan. 19, 1981, the day BEFORE Reagan was inaugurated. The hostages were, indeed, formally released just minutes after Reagan was sworn in. Carter, though, initially met them when they were flown out of Iran and into Europe for medical check-ups, etc. Reagan and Bush did the big formal welcome home when they got back here to the states, which is what most people remember.

Carter should have nuked Iran.

This is just crazy! Since when do people who can't vote in the U.S. get to publicly endorse our candidates? Just like those people in Obama, Japan that desperately want him to win, just because of his NAME! I actually feel sorry for him because he also got Farrakhan's "seal of approval" quite some time ago, but this is the straw for the camel's back.

Bingo!

^^^Well, a little bit of "yes" on the first count, though, right, SEC?

Well they get to do whatever they want. How exactly would you stop them? We just get to choose not to listen to them.

SECdomination's logic is backward: If Hamas knows we don't like them, and they endorse a candidate, odds are they expect less support for a candidate. Therefore we should clearly all vote for Obama to thwart Hamas.
