I'm really getting sick of this "Hamas endorses Obama" lie, and I'm even more annoyed that the media can't be bothered to check its veracity.

Randy Scheunemann is merely the latest person repeating the lie, and the media needs to call him on it. Quite simply, Scheunemann's story is complete B.S.; the media ought to try going to the source.

If Hamas is so pro-Obama, how come they don't have a single statement to that effect on the official Hamas website? The Republicans keep pulling out this tired canard, and no one can be bothered to fact-check it. You would think that by now that if Hamas liked Obama  they would at least have gotten around to posting something positive about him. At the very least they would get rid of all the articles critical of Obama. I mean, if they're endorsing him. I'm guessing that they're not as incompetent at catapulting their propaganda, as say, the McCain campaign is. 

That hyperlink, BTW is a search of all instances of the word "Obama" in articles posted on the Hamas site. It yields a grand total of nine hits, and No Endorsement. Not even grudging respect. In fact they don't even like him.

It seems that Hamas just isn't as good at the endorsement game as Al Quaeda.
