McCain Talks to Hamas?

There's been a recent spat of attacks on unnamed persons by the Bush administration and the McCain campaign for wanting to negotiate with "terrorists." One shill has proposed that the attacks are aimed at President Carter for talking with Hamas. In reality the attacks are aimed at Obama who has said he will talk with our enemies , like any wise leader, and the Democratic Party which gives endless lip service to peace. I would hope that most Americans would agree that diplomacy would be in order as opposed to ignoring and/or trying to murder everyone that opposes us... as "some people" have done.

So "McCain subsequently said Obama must explain why he wants to talk with rogue leaders" and "I made it very clear, at that time, before and after, that we will not negotiate with terrorist organizations, that Hamas would have to abandon their terrorism, their advocacy to the extermination of the state of Israel, and be willing to negotiate in a way that recognizes the right of the state of Israel and abandons their terrorist position and advocacy."

My question is, how did he tell Hamas they needed to change unless he talked to them?

Was he shooting at them as he talked? Or maybe he was shouting?
