Imagine for a second that a militant Web site believed to reflect al Qaeda's thinking published an essay making the case that a Barack Obama presidency would best advance the terror group's goals. What would the reaction be from John McCain, Sarah Palin and the Republican National Committee?

One imagines plenty of neoconservative McCain advisers pushing for the news to become an instant talking point. The GOP running mate already has accused the Democratic nominee of "palling around" with America's enemies. "We were right," they would crow, perhaps throwing a "Right on!" to whichever mouth-breather in the crowd first called Obama a "terrorist" or invoked his middle name. One imagines Steve Schmidt already has a ready-to-deploy Web ad featuring Obama's face morphing into Osama bin Laden's.

1. What's to comment on?

An anonymous post on a terrorist blog doesn't merit any comments. It's just stupid.

Besides I don't care who some unnamed terrorist endorses. I am an American and will decide for myself who I will vote for. Al Qaeda's input is not necessary.

3. It would be stupid to comment

Notice how stupid the McHoover camp is in their flailing attempts to respond to it. If they had said nothing, it would no longer be a story. Instead they tried to make it into an anti-Obama moment and thus undercut their own argument that Hamas and Iran support Obama.
