A week ago a Hamas terrorist organization spokesman declared that he hopes Barack Hussein Obama wins the presidency. Specifically (because like Obama’s friend and mentor Reverend Wright says—don’t take things he said like the American government (and I quote) “inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color”, um, “out of context”!), the Hamas spokesman said: ”…We like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election…”
Republican John McCain responded this week saying that Hamas certainly doesn’t want him (McCain) to be President.
And this non endorsement of McCain by Hamas should normally be presumed to be self-evidently a good thing by sensible humans everywhere. Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and other conservatives not endorsing you is not helpful if (big if) you’re a conservative; but not being endorsed by Hamas is a manifestly a good thing.
Being “endorsed” by Hamas is like a free clue for voters.
So that’s fun.
Barack Obama’s campaign—no wait it’s the radical far-left George Soros-funded MoveOn.org organization campaigning for Obama—uses that term “progressive” in their daily emails to me—just like Canada’s Liberal Frenchman Stephane (the “Green Guru”) Dion and the you’ve got to be kidding party’s Jack Layton—as well as Canada’s Communist Party, and the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada (as I pointed out earlier this week). They’re officially embarrassed to be called “liberals” nowadays. Can’t blame them. Besides, they all want to attract more than just plain old garden variety liberal-lefties to their tent.
This week, Move-On is panicking (and trust me, every email reads like every night is Armageddon Eve) because their man Obama is failing to seal the deal and become the presumptive winner, while Republican John McCain is frustratingly doing the move-on cha-cha all over their progressive butts. (Note Move-On’s sudden appreciation for Republican strategist Karl Rove—whom they’d previously slammed as the stupidest, most evil human on the face of the Earth—and his campaigning neo-prowess.)
For the last year we’ve been furiously engaged in building our biggest voter-turnout program ever, drawing on everything learned in 2004 and 2006. Here are just a few of the things we’re working on:
• Microtargeting: We’re taking one of Karl Rove’s famous field tactics to the next level. We’ll ensure that we find every progressive voter, even those in conservative neighborhoods or households with Republicans.
• Persuasion: We’re working on a new effort where we’ll target independent and “swing” voters well before Election Day, to give them more information on the issues and persuade them to vote our way.
• Innovation: We’re also creating a number of new online organizing tools—to share with the broader progressive movement—to increase voter registration, education, and turnout.We have a historic opportunity this fall, and we can’t afford to sit around and wait until there’s a nominee to get to work—there is too much at stake. Can you chip in a few bucks a month between now and the election to help make sure progressives hit the ground running when the election season gets started in earnest?
Back to Hamas: I wonder if they’d prefer Dion or Layton or “Bare-Ass” Bob Rae or Michael (“I’m a purdy li’l puffin birdy”) Ignatieff for Canada. I doubt Hamas is happy with Harper. Again: this is a free clue for voters.
