Sighhhhhh...
What this shows is the sad lack of a quality education within the United States. This line of thinking is so simple--Hamas says something positive about Obama, I don't like Hamas, so I don't like Obama.
However, an educated and critically thinking person will understand that the Palestinians have real issues that need to be addressed and adressed fairly so Hamas as well as Fatah would see McCain as a threat to finding a solution to their problems with Israel as they perceive them while Obama is someone who would represent a fresh opportunity to initiated change that could lead to some form of accord. The same could be said of Clinton by the way. Either candidate would seek to establish settling the Israeili/Palestinian issue in an intelligent manner as a priority.
Meanwhile, McCain and the right see it and will sell it as nothing but enemies and friends. And many in the electorate without the educational background to understand the issue and why it is vitality important to America's interest will acquiesce and agree that a vote for Obama/Clinton is a vote for terrorists.
This is why Democrats need to understand the electorate and the dynamics of the American polity and adjust the rhetoric accordingly.
