The Obama-Khalidi Connection
American Thinker ^ | 10/4/08 | Rick Moran

Posted on 10/04/2008 1:21:24 PM PDT by pissant

Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes will discuss the close relationship between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi - Palestinian supporter and the professor at Columbia University - on a special broadcast of "Hannity's America" which will air tomorrow night at 9:00 PM eastern time.

Khalidi is a former professor at the University of Illinois and was a close friend of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. At a farewell dinner for Khalidi before he took the Columbia job, Obama 's speech was filled with glowing praise for his friend, including references to the many meals they had shared. He thanked Khalidi for opening his eyes about the problems of the Palestinians.

Khalidi himself has given vocal support to suicide bombers:

During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an "apartheid system in creation" and a destructive "racist" state.

He has multiple times expressed support for Palestinian terror, calling suicide bombings response to "Israeli aggression." He dedicated his 1986 book, "Under Siege," to "those who gave their lives ... in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon." Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism.

Khalidi's wife Mona ran the Chicago area charity, the Arab American Action Network, that received substantial assistance from the Woods Fund, a left wing foundation that Obama and unreconstructed terrorist Bill Ayers were Board members. The AAAN was notorious for its pro-Palestianian sympathies.

Pipes should have quite a bit to say about Mr. Khalidi and Barack Obama's friendship.

Sarah didn't mean just Ayers when she accused Hussein Osama of 'palling around with terrorists".

“Palling around with terrorists” What an interesting way to put it. She’s just started to open Pandora’s box...

This is the first I’ve heard of Khalidi.

McCain's Only Shot



You never bluff and EXPECT to win. You can only HOPE to win unless you are willing to follow-through to the end. McCain did not have the intentinal fortitude, perhaps because he such a RINO deep down, to carry through with the actions and strategies that were dictated by the orignal announcement that he was suspending his nomination.

McCain was not willing to make Barry and the dummies pay for playing the crisis like business as usual. So therefore it was a bluff - a stunt - and it backfired.

Now, his only chance is to get aggressive in the debates and the stump and spend 100% of his ad buys on negative advertising defining Barry as a radical liberal.


Just one play left John. Do you have the huevos to play it all the way?

I think Sarah is doing her job perfectly. John is the good cop and she the bad (read AWESOME!!!)

Sarah is the life blood of this election, we all know it so does John. This all playing out fine.

Now that the MSN is getting on board, you know the wheels are begging to fall off the bamma wagon.

If Hannity has this all put together so well, why doesn’t the McCain camp? Hannity needs to air this during Hannity and Colmes.

I'm not sure that is true. Where are you getting that?

If you haven’t seen it, there are a couple of links to good articles in this post, including a chart that links the relationship of 0bama with various of his ‘pals’:

James Simpson is the former White House economist who has just published “Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis” on AmericanThinker.com.

Simpson lays out the positioning of Barack Obama relative to the neo-Marxist tactics of Saul Alinsky, plus Obama’s implied relationship to the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” of generating national, financial crises, in order to turn the nation toward ever stricter socialism.

He also connects the dots of what this has to do with the “community organizers” of ACORN and Marxist power players, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, etc. Simpson documents his research in his article using Web links and provides a rough flow chart.

I have read it and it is a good composite of details connecting dots with Obama.
The more you dig, the more you will see that Obama should not have even been considered to be a Senator let alone a President.

Traditionally the vice-presidential running mate is the attack dog while the presidential candidate gets to remain above the fray.

ADD TO THAT LIST OF TERRORISTS AND TERRORIST SUPPORTERS:

Iraqi Oil Billionaire NADHMI AUCHI, who ran oil and guns for Saddam. He, Rezko and Obama bought their way into Chicago machine politics. He was the one who got Obama into Harvard. You didn;t think he got there on his own with his undistinguished academic record, did ya?

So little is known about Obama. His life, associations, academic records and education are being kept secret. . When his medical records were requested, the Obama camp submitted one paragraph. One has to ask, what is he hiding and why?

The complexity of the relationship between Obama, Iraqi Oil Billionaire Nadhmi Auchi & convicted felon, Syrian Antoin “Tony” Rezko, has never been explored by the MSM. ( see below)

IBDeditorials.com

Investor’s Business Daily has been running some excellent articles about this.

Obama may have been greatly influenced by the writings of Socialist “community organizer” Guru Saul Alinsky, but since Alinsky died in 1972,when Obama was 11 years old and living in Indonesia, they never met.

You can add Iraqi Oil Billionaire NADHMI AUCHI, who ran oil and guns for Saddam. He, Rezko and Obama bought their way into Chicago machine politics. He was the one who got Obama into Harvard. You didn;t think he got there on his own with his undistinguished academic record, did ya?

Although he never met Alinsky, however he was an influential force in his life.

“...McCain’s Only Shot...”

The nation is being set up. If the rigged polls give Obama a 5-8 point lead an election day and he loses the actual vote, there will be riots!

He as to be taken down before the election. McCain should rip his head off and poop down his neck in the next 2 debate. He can it, he has to do it.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

McCain may go down in history as the man who lost America, if he doesn’t step up to the plate.

there will be riots!

The country will survive riots, and will recover.

If Obama wins, this country, and the world, will enter another Dark Age, a millineum of evil and savagery.

This is video of children in a madrassa. Most of you Dollard Readers know what a madrassa is, but for those who don’t…madrassas are indoctrination schools. Children are taught the radical aspects of jihad and that the greatest thing that they can aspire to be is a martyr, by killing Jews and Americans and any other non-”true” muslims via suicide attack.
