We’ve previously noted Aaron Klein’s embrace of the unverified claim in the Arab-language newspaper Al-Hayat that “aides” to Barack Obama met with representatives of Hamas. Well, Klein is still clinging to it — and he still hasn’t verified it.
A Nov. 13 WorldNetDaily article by Klein repeats the claim by framing it around Hamas’ statement that “The report in Al-Hayat was not accurate,” which Klein parses by claiming it was “carefully worded” and “did not deny the terror group met with Obama aides.”
And nowhere does Klein offer any additional verification for it — he’s still claiming that Ahmed Yousef, the Hamas spokesman who made the claim to Al-Hayat, has not called him back. And even if Yousef did, why would Klein (or anyone else, for that matter) trust a member of what he has repeatedly called a terrorist organization?
Given that everyone involved in the story is denying it — Hamas is, despite Klein’s parsing, as is the Obama campaign — why is Klein still clinging to it? Simple — because he’s trying to bring down Obama’s presidency the way he tried to damage his presidential campaign. He’s just doing Joseph Farah’s bidding.
