| Democratic Nat'l C'tee denies meeting with Hamas |
| 2006-12-08 |
| Stacie Paxton, Press Secretary for the US Democratic National Committee, denied reports on Thursday that Hamas leaders had met secretly with US Democratic Party officials. "Nope. Nope. Never happened." "Who're you going to believe, us Democrats or Hamas?" The Bethlehem-based Maan News Agency, quoting sources close to the Hamas-led government, claimed Wednesday that such meetings did take place. However, the agency did not give additional details. In response to the reports, which were also published in The Jerusalem Post, Paxton said: "No such meeting took place." |

IFF THE DEMS ARE GONNA BE CALLIN' VIETNAM + QUAGMIRE, AT LEAST FOLLOW THE HISTORICAL SCRIPT. |

| #9 #6 Shucks, Pappy. The IRA married into the Democratic Party (Paul Hill/Mary Courtney Kennedy). The Reception must've been a hell of a piss up! |

| #8 ...Does anybody remember former House Speaker Tom Foley's comments about Bush 41 about his role in the Iran-Contra scandal? Let me refresh everyone's memory. The Iran-Contra special prosecutor actually suggested that VP Bush got in an SR-71 and flew to Paris to meet with the MMMs and then come back in less than a day. When the USAF turned over the flight logs and let these idiots interview the flight and ground crews, the SPs office stated that there was no evidence that any such flight had ever taken place. Foley's response: "Despite the fact there is no evidence, the seriousness of charge demands that we investigate." I second Speaker Foley. Mike |

| #5 Possibly Hamas met with some friends and financers of some of the terrorist apologist wing (e.g., Jim McDermott) |

| #3 What possible reason could Hamas have to make such a bizarre claim? No, methinks it do have some truth to it. Maybe not an "official" meeting, but a meeting none the less. |

| #2 Hard call, but I think it at least marginally more likely that Hamas is lying. |

| #1 And if you did meet with Hamas, what would you tell us then? |
