Is that the same one who met with the Canadians over the NAFTA comments?

Must I remind you of a headline posted just a bit further down?

McCain aides forced to quit over ties to Burmese junta - Americas, World - The Independent

Does that mean that McCain supports the Burmese Junta? Of course not. Same thing.

Indeed. The dots are connecting. Preacher/church sympathetic to terrorists, campaign rife with hamas sympathizers, actual support from various and sundry terrorist groups around the globe.

Yeah, definitely more coming out like how McCain actively sought out the endorsement of a minister who not only claims that the Catholic church is the great prostitute but that the anti-Christ will be a Jew!

One thing we can at least say for Hillary, she hasn't sought out the spiritual advice from Moon.

I think most posters on both sides of the issue are "all wet" here.

Malley wasn't a "key" advisor to Obama, he was part of a larger foreign policy analysis group that helps put together the candidate position papers.

Obama has stated that he will not negotiate with Hamas, because they call for the destruction of Israel. I know some posters dismiss this, but I happen to think it is a legitimate point and one most politicians agree with. No matter your personal position though, Obama has made this point clear in his campaign.

Malley has historically discussed solutions with all sides in the conflict, and has for over a decade. As part of his discussions he also speaks with Hamas, but based upon Obama's clearly stated position this would be outside of what the candidate deems acceptable, and leaves him open to charges of hypocrisy.

So, to resolve the issue this rather minor contributor to Obama's campaign resigns, and appropriately so. The folks not supporting Obama are making this bigger than it is, and those who would like to see the Israel support evaporate are using this as a false issue indicating AIPAC pressure.

Both of you are way overstating your case.
