Exclusive Video: McCain Was For Talking To Hamas Before He Was Against It...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/15/exclusive-video-mccain-wa_n_102031.html

Two years ago, in an interview with James Rubin for Sky News, Sen. John McCain expressed a willingness to negotiate with the terrorist group Hamas -- the very group that McCain has been relentlessly using to smear Sen. Barack Obama over the last several weeks.

2. I wonder if the video will dominate the next news cycle? A candidate showing absolute hypocrisy
Can't wait to see his response. Let's hope the media doesn't provide cover for him

3. This is great for a few news cycles but we're headed for the weekend,
It's good because it comes on the heels of the McCain/Bush attempted gang rape today of Obama. With McCain using the Hamas card on Obama and then to have this surface WITH a WaPo article about it too. This will be all over the news today. Luvs it.

4. Unfortunately, John McCaineyBush has been GIVEN a FREE PASS by the CorpoMedia for way too long
The only ones giving him any criticism has been Olbermann, Abrams, and sometimes Jon Stewart.

However, that could change since his campaign spokesman said he would like to throw them off the "straight talk express" and the campaign plane.

McCaineyBush likes to talk out both sides of his mouth.

But hey Hillary supporters are ALL behind him. They would rather vote for him than the Democratic candidate:shrug:

14. So true..
every single day of this, I have been amazed at so many important things I probably would've never known about if not for the internet. The t.v. news media certainly doesn't cover most things important to this process or hardly anything critical of the Bush administration, and what really goes on in their WH, and when they do, it has an incredible amount of spin and much of the truth is lost. It also provides a way for so many people to interact with each other, but also to help call the opposition on their lies, and gives us a quicker way to make our voices heard whenever the situation arises. The best thing ever indeed!

5. Should we wait till Monday to get this out to the media?
Cause Mccain't doesn't have to get a free pass, if we don't allow it!

Maybe we should try to make the video go viral first.

I'm gonna email it to a few sources that I have!

13. What do you know...a politican flip-flopped...just like Obama.
This is nothing new.

McCain flip-flopped...BFD.

Obama said in debates he would talk to the Iranian President and leaders of terrorist organization. Now he's whining about being called out on his appeasement stance. He was also highly critical of Jimmy Carter for talking to Hamas.

Mr. Obama can't have it both ways.

Make up your damned mind, Barack.
