We've seen this before, with the Swift Boat Vets. Their charges were true. Democrats couldn't stand that. So they coined the term "swift-boating" try to minimize/dismiss anytime someone brings up TRUE FACTS that may reflect badly on a Democrat. But the new, new term they have for it is "distraction". Anytime a Republican brings up a fact about Obama, it's a "distraction" from the discussion we "should" be having, about how wonderful Barry is, how wonderful socialism is, how wonderful it will be when Barry is inevitably President and gives us the socialism we deserve, etc.

A Hamas spokesman did say he's like to see Obama elected. That's a fact. He said it. They've also said a lot of crazy things. But he did say this. So, please tell me why it's wrong for McCain to bring it up? Um, torrent, if you’re going to comment so much here, could you please address the points I make rather than making up facts.

Every other statement that come from these homicidal maniacs about, say, Zionist murderers and fake missile damage is treated with the suspicion it deserves, but if they're talking about Democrats, well, it must be the truth.
