It's sad to say that this can't even be called "stunning hypocrisy," because hypocrisy has become par for the course for John McCain. From last month, McCain's reaction to former President Carter's plan to meet with Hamas: It is a grave and dangerous mistake for an American leader to meet with a terrorist organization like Hamas...The very idea that a former President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief...

McCAIN: "They're the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this administration and previous administrations...

McCain was for talking with terrists before he was against it. AmericaBlog reminds us that McHypocrite was all for appeasing talking to Hamas only two years ago. McCain: "They're the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas because of their dedication...

Our good friend John McCain has done another flip-flop on the American public. Two years ago, in an interview he called for negotiating with Hamas. Joe Knollenberg has called for cutting off funding for The Carter Center recently because of Carter's visit to the Middle East and talking to Hamas. So, it seems to me, Knollenberg, with the revealing of this interview, should call for the cutoff of all...
