Yeah, they should have checked ppl for Burma ties. Give me a break.
Picked to run the convention? That’s not McCain’s choice. Even if he did suggest him, it’s hardly the same as being a foreign policy advisor like the one that Obama had to fire for meeting repeatedly with the leaders of Hamas. Then to divert attention from the Hamas endorsement of Obama, he tried to blame it on McCain.
The friends of Obama just keep getting better and better.
Obama Fires Foreign Policy Adviser for Meeting With Hamas
May 09, 2008 7:57 PM
The Times of London reports that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has fired one of his foreign policy advisers — Robert Malley — for meeting with the Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department classifies as a terrorist organization.
“He was one of literally hundreds of informal, outside advisors,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News, confirming the Times account.
Malley, a former official in the administration of former President Bill Clinton, is Middle East and North Africa program director for the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution group.
Ive never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people, Malley told the Times.
Malley has been a criticized in the past as insufficiently supportive of Israel — the New Republic’s Marty Peretz has defended Obama as pro-Israel but assailed Malley — though several Clintonistas have defended him from the charge.
He participated in the failed 2000 Camp David accords and said that Yasser Arafat was not the only one to blame for those talks breaking down.
Which, of course, they are.
The "newsies" are intensely jealous of them.
Still, it would be a doggone good idea for McCain to get busy and DUMP all the people in Republican party operations who has had anything whatsoever to do with genocide or brutal dictatorships.
Americans of Albanian heritage collected a million dollars in one evening for the presidential campaign of Republican Senator John McCain, said the Albanian American Civic League yesterday, the lobby group headed by former Congressman Joe DioGuardi. A reception for McCain was held January 22 at the Saint Regis Hotel in Manhatten, and the senator, who is now leading in the runoff for the Republican party candidacy in the November elections, cut his campaign in Florida by one day to attend this gathering.
"Even in 1998 when we had problems with Milosevic, McCain did everything that we asked of him to the benefit of the Albanian people, including arming the KLA", announced DioGuardi. "We are American Albanians and we need a leader who will strengthen this country... We must support John McCain because he did everything we asked of him for Kosovo, from supporting the Kosovo Liberation Army to supporting the independence of Kosovo. Two years ago he spoke in Brussels and said that independence is the only solution", concluded this former congressman who has been fighting for the independence of Kosovo and Metohija for more than twenty years.
He explained that the first thing McCain said to him when he entered the hotel in Manhatten on January 22: "Joe, I saw your people in Michigan, and in South Carolina and in New Hampshire", from which this lobbyist deduced that all Americans of Albanian background will be voting for the senator from Arizona.
Stallone’s last movie was supposedly set in Burma or filmed there. Do we shun Rambo now, too?
Then again, what exactly is the intricate web of Soros organizations and entities if not lobbying efforts? Shall we name them all? Can we?
We need to start lobbying Jim for a McCAIN TRUTH FILE index, just as there is an OBAMA TRUTH FILE index on this site. I can see more and more of these revelations...not to mention questionable things coming out of Obama’s camp this year. What a “choice”.
The real scandal is how these organizations, who have essentially shut McCain out of ALL coverage, and ANY positive coverage, for the past four weeks, have ALL run major headlined stories about this — when it has nothing to do with McCain.
Since when did the AP and Newsweek cast brutal dictatorships in a bad light?
I take it back.These two corrupt parties aren't the same. The (R) run with their tails dragging anytime these is an issue while the other stands strong. What a pathetic bunch of fools they are.
That is certainly the reaction the MSM was hoping from the story.
And Jack Kemp was working for Hugo Chavez doing just about the same thing for him.
McCain sure knows how to pick them.
