When you're a terrorist, you have to watch what you say sometimes...especially when it hurts your friends.
So it goes with Hamas when leader Ahmed Yousef expressed hopes for a Barack Obama win in November. He must have momentarily forgotten that not all Americans are liberal Democrats, and thus do not consider Republicans more dangerous than terrorists.
From WorldNetDaily:
The Hamas terrorist organization is strongly considering issuing an official statement claiming it doesn't endorse any U.S. presidential candidate and that remarks made by an official supportive of Sen. Barack Obama were "misunderstood," a top Hamas leader told WND.
Other Hamas sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the terror group "understands" praise for Obama last month from Ahmed Yousef, Hamas' chief political advisor in the Gaza Strip, is harming the Illinois senator.
In an interview with WND and WABC Radio last month, Yousef said he "hopes" Obama becomes president and compared the Illinois senator to President John F. Kennedy.
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," said Yousef.
"I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. ... I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance," Yousef said, speaking from Gaza.
I guess while terrorist organizations may be expert at killing innocent people, they're a little slow on political considerations.
