Given the evidence of the level of judicial activism promoted by liberals, we shouldn't be surprised at this -

look on the net for the vicious uncivilized things fatah has done for decades and reflect on Carter's suggestion that we might turn hamas around by engaging them
as you will see below, dubya has no problem arming enemies of israel ... if he thinks it will eridicate hamas. he must want to start yet another civil war

Opposed to such profound substance as calling US liberals imperialists (I assume the irony is overwhelming to others here as well) and denying the legitimacy of a democratically elected Government because you oppose its policies and have deemed it an enemy?

I was under the impression that a states legitimacy is not determined by whether or not you are at war or are opposed to them. That it was the process involved in placing them in power and their region of control of the state that were the determining factors.

Yeah I'm not following the "true Imperialist" bit either here.

The only recognition that Hamas deserves is a long range missle recognizing the target and destroying it. This group has openly supported terrorism and promoted violence against Americans since it's inception. To recognize them as a nation would be giving justification to their cause and legitimizing it. This sounds like Cartertics at work. You can't give every maniac a soapbox to stand on.

Please explain as to what part of your argument expressed reason as to why Hamas should not be recognised as the legitimate Governing administration of Palestine.

That you oppose their ideology and methods, even going so far as to oppose it through war or foreign policy, has no bearing on whether or not they are the legitimate Government. It is a completely separate issue. What you have explained is why the United States should oppose Hamas, not deny it recognition.

Either state why Hamas is not the legitimate Government of Palestine or state why opposition to their organisation and ideologies has any judgement on whether or not they are legitimate.

I have no idea as to what you are talking about. Explain it further.

As for the implications regardless, that I “didn’t shout down those nutcases then” has nothing to do with the validity of the previous criticism against you.

That makes absolutely no sense in response to what you’ve quoted from me. That Jimmy Carter “aint working for the US” has no bearing on status of state and governing body legitimacy around the world.
