In a Newsweek cover story
evidently written to preempt any legitimate criticism of a
presidential candidate with the thinest records of any presidential
candidate in the modern era, Richard Wolffe and Evan Thomas swallow
whole the Obama campaign's contention that John McCain is unfaily
smering Obama by correctly noting that a Hamas spokesman has
endorsed the naive senator. The article never mentions the fact
that a Hamas spokesman did actually endorse
Obama, nor did it mention (perhaps becuase of the deadline) that an
adviser to Obama actually was meeting with
the terrorist group.
In my piece for today, I go much further than McCain ever
would, sifting through Obama's past, his questionable associations,
and his current double talk on Hamas and Israel.
Here was my conclusion:
Obama is running for the most powerful job in the
world without much of a public record of which to speak. Yet those
who demand to know a little bit more about the candidate by
scrutinizing his statements and relationships are arrogantly
dismissed as engaging in "smears" and being divisive for refusing
to simply take him at his word.
Welcome to the new kind of politics.
