Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group

Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director on the board of a nonprofit organization that granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe."

The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department.

Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Although AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi has at times denied working directly for the PLO, he reportedly served as director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, a period during which the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group.

While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time contact with Obama, there is evidence of a deeper relationship between the presidential hopeful and Khalidi.

According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the senator first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003; Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."

The article also mentions that Obama served on the board of Woods Fund together with Ayers, the Weather Underground bomber, and Obama and Ayers also served on other panels together.

Birds of a feather, and all that.

Looks like Obama’s experience consists of associating with known terrorists — does this experience qualify him to be US Commander in Chief?

How much evidence does the brainless dimocratic party need? They are truly the party of reprobates.

As a member of the board, how did Obama vote?

[ari-freedom]

voting “Present” would be bad enough

“In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.”

(SAME Ayers — member of Weather Underground)

Read the rest — there is more, he has been personal friends with Khalid

I don't think they need any more evidence. They have seen enough mounting evidence to convince them that Obama should definitely be our next president.

Obama...Osama...Let’s call the whole thing off!

[Lizavetta]

Run a candidate that has a Muslim name.

Run that candidate with the Muslim name with a Muslim background.

Run that candidate with the Muslim name and Muslim background with pro-Muslim connections.

Run that same candidate with those same connections in the U.S. during a war in which U.S. is battling Islam.

And do it during a time in U.S. history when the battle cry is diversity, multiculturalism, and nonjudgmentalism.

Run a candidate that is immune to ALL criticism of any kind, because to criticize would make you a racist, AND THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN THAT in today's modern life.

I hope America's sense of nationalism and self-preservation kicks in in time.

ping!

MIDI - LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

Keep on pouring and I'll get blotto...then I will go get in my auto
My legs quiver...my poor liver...I'm lucky I'm not dead

You say Obama and I say Osama...pass me the bottle, I'll step on the throttle
Obama, Osama, the bottle, the throttle...let's go drive on the bridge

I guess that I shouldn't speak while drunk...that's what some pundits note
And I should drive a Vee Dub...an Oldsmobile can't float

Dodd and I so love a good waitress sandwich
Pass me the mustard, and pass me the Manwich

My legs quiver...oh, my poor liver...I'm so lucky I am not dead
I'm lucky I'm not dead

My apartment last week was burgled...in my dreams, I still hear her gurgle
My legs quiver...my poor liver...I'm lucky I'm not dead

You say Obama and I say Osama...pass me the bottle, I'll step on the throttle
Obama, Osama, the bottle, the throttle...let's go drive on the bridge

I guess that I shouldn't speak while drunk...that's what some pundits note
And I should drive a Vee Dub...an Oldsmobile can't float

I'll weigh 400 if I keep on eating...artery clogging will stop my heart beating
My legs quiver...oh, my poor liver...I'm so lucky I am not dead
I'm lucky I'm not dead

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002,................Obama may face increased scrutiny over his ties to William C. Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground terrorist group ............Obama served on the Woods Fund board alongside Ayers (who is still on the board). Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has written about his involvement with the Weather Underground’s bombing of U.S. governmental buildings including the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972......... "I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough," Ayers told The New York Times in an interview published, ironically, on Sept. 11, 2001.

Nothing to see here, folks, move along...
