Oh, Lordy, Lordy, this is going to be fun.
We’ve told you before that at Obama fundraisers here in Chicago (which we were invited to by people who knew we’d listen closely and dish everything we heard on HillBuzz…Democrats who could never be seen opposing “Dear Leader”, but Democrats who have chosen to stand with us, in the shadows, as we all join forces as Americans to stop Obama and his socialism), Obama bundlers berated Clinton donors to pony up cash for Obama — even though Clinton people are more inclined to donate to McCain/Palin than anything. Well, at these fundraisers it was common for Obamaphiles to stress to all assembled how prepared they were for “three punches” they saw coming at Obama in the closing days of the general election.
The first punch they predicted was exposing Obama’s true socialist nature, through his connection to William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall, Raila Odinga, Samantha Power, and other assorted kooks, radicals, and loons. Thanks to Obama’s mask slipping on the visit with Joe the Plumber, this punch has been a big CHECK. The only thing that has not come out in terms of this are the audiotapes we’ve been told repeatedly exist of Obama campaigning with Cousin Odinga in Kenya back in 2006, where Obama agrees with Odinga’s anti-American sentiments and says the American national anthem is a racist, violent war song and must be replaced with something passive, peaceful and wholly secular. Obama’s dealings in Kenya have not come to light at all — which is a sham, we feel, because 7 days before the election is not enough time to bring any of this out. It’s not enough time to sink in.
The second punch we were told was coming involves Obama’s presence at a 2003 dinner where Palestinian Rhashid Khalidi was honored, amongst frequent calls for the immediate destruction of the state of Israel. Obama and Michelle attended this hatefest, smiling throughout, with reports of Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers in attendance (and possibly sharing a table with the Obamas).
This might actually be a picture of the Obamas at the table during that dinner (one of the prettiest photos we’ve ever seen of Michelle):
There’s a very good chance that Bernadine Dohrn is seated to the left of Michelle and Ayers is seated to the right of Obama in this photo, since the two couples would most likely have shared the same table at this event for Khalidi. We believe this is why the LA Times refuses to release the videotape of Obama at this event: it would not only place Obama at an dinner that called for the destruction of Israel, but would call out his lie that Ayers was just some man from the neighborhood: and not someone the Obamas had dinner with, or even let babysit their daughters (as people in Chicago repeatedly admit).
We believe the increased calls for the LA Times to release the Obama-Khalidi video — coming from the McCain camp today — is setting the stage for release of the video either tomorrow or Thursday, in an effort to blunt the impact of whatever Obama says during his Wednesday night informercial.
All eyes are on the LA Times right now — so if the tape sits in GOP hands, it’s far better for the Times to be pressured to release it on its own, and to do so at a time when the narrative shouldn’t be about Obama’s big informercial, but instead about Obama sitting at dinner with terrorists, laughing and having a grand old time while speaker after speaker calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Israelis.
Because that’s what we’ve heard went on at this dinner.
Obama supporters in Chicago know about this because many were in that room when it happened. Just as many Obama supporters were in San Francisco in the room with him when he called Midwesterners bitter gun-and-religion-clingers apathetic to all those who are not like them. People like this think nothing of sitting through a dinner where radicals spout hate because these are the same Hyde Park chicago pseudo-intellectual radicals who think there’s nothing wrong with Bernadine Dorhn and William Ayers running daycare centers or teaching in universities.
But, regular Americans care very much about Israel. Most of us here at HillBuzz grew up Catholic, and we were taught since childhood that America has no greater friend in this world than Israel. We’ve heard from other friends the same is true for those who grew up Baptist or evangelical. It’s un-American to be anti-Semitic, or to sit through anti-Semitism with a smile on your face at a dinner honoring Palestinians who want to destroy Israel.
Obama already lied once this year when he claimed he never heared Jeremiah Wright spouting hate for 20 years in his church. Will he lie again and claim he didn’t hear Rhashid Khalidi spouting hate at this dinner in his honor? While Michelle sat next to him looking so lovely, being her usual wonderful self?
So, that’s the second punch the Obama bundlers here in Chicago said they knew was coming. They never spelled out what the third punch was going to be, so we can only imagine what that entails. We personally believe it’s Michelle spouting hate about the Clinton Administration and how the Clinton Global Initiative is responsible for tribal violence and deaths in Africa. That’s more of the same hatemongering that comes out of Trinity United Church, and we believe those in Chicago who’ve told us this is what they think is the third punch the Obama bundlers always talked about. That’s also the kind of thing that can drop on Halloween and damage Obama irreparably over the weekend.
It seems at least 15% of the electorate plans to make up its mind whom to vote for this coming Sunday, when they gather together as a family and talk about the election.
So, we expect this Khalidi tape to drop Wednesday or Thursday, with some Jeremiah Wright reminders making news Friday and Saturday, and possibly that third punch, whatever it is, landing square on Obama’s jaw Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

From the article! LOL
Pretty sure that’s Edward Said... who is just as/more nutty than Khalidi.
He is a lovely man. /s
Here is a picture of him throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers.

and here is a picture of his poster in the West Bank.

IIRC, that is the honoree, Palestinian terrorist supporter Rhashid Khalidi, and his wife Mona, who was founder and CEO of some Arab organization in Chicago.
This was the farewell dinner for him - he was leaving Univ of Chicago and going to Columbia. He was buds with Edward Said at NYU, another charming anti Israel hatemonger.
Thank you for the clarification.
Seeing picture at your link I think you are correct, it is Said.
Sorry for wrong info.

And how's your security clearance application coming along?
Photos are starting to surface.
Defiant said: The LA Times is the only source for the tape.
I’m not so sure of that. Read below, part of the the original article from the Times, about the dinner Barak was at, April 10, 2008 by Peter Wallsten. (Read in Caps below: It says they got a copy of the taped event, not that they taped it.) So who was tapeing it?
While teaching at the University of Chicago, Khalidi and his wife lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood near the Obamas. The families became friends and dinner companions.
In 2000, the Khalidis held a fundraiser for Obama’s unsuccessful congressional bid. The next year, a social service group whose board was headed by Mona Khalidi received a $40,000 grant from a local charity, the Woods Fund of Chicago, when Obama served on the fund’s board of directors.
At Khalidi’s going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. “You will not have a better senator under any circumstances,” Khalidi said.
THE EVENT WAS VIDEOTAPED, AND A COPY OF THE TAPE WAS OBTAINED BY THE TIMES.
Though Khalidi has seen little of Sen. Obama in recent years, Michelle Obama attended a party several months ago celebrating the marriage of the Khalidis’ daughter.
In interviews with The Times, Khalidi declined to discuss specifics of private talks over the years with Obama. He did not begrudge his friend for being out of touch, or for focusing more these days on his support for Israel — a stance that Khalidi calls a requirement to win a national election in the U.S., just as wooing Chicago’s large Arab American community was important for winning local elections.
Khalidi added that he strongly disagrees with Obama’s current views on Israel, and often disagreed with him during their talks over the years. But he added that Obama, because of his unusual background, with family ties to Kenya and Indonesia, would be more understanding of the Palestinian experience than typical American politicians.
“He has family literally all over the world,” Khalidi said. “I feel a kindred spirit from that.”
LOL
DANM, Vera’s cute! No wonder “Geraldine” is so upset!
Brilliant!
This strategy would almost certainly lead to release of the tape. By the time it is released, the buzz created ensures that the tape gets big time play.
That’s the late Edward Said on Barack Obama’s left (our right).
This 1998 dinner had Said as the keynote speaker, so Obama was already being treated as a major up-and-comer by the organizers, to be seated next to the guest of honor.
Said died in 2003. He was one of the most virulent anti-American, pro-terrorist left-wing academics around.
More beloved and influential on the far left than just about any contemporary academic after nutbag Noam Chomsky.
Just the photo of Obama jawing closely with Said ought to make anyone who cares about Israel’s survival VERY nervous.
Nope, that photo is of the Saids with the Obamas at a 1998 event for which the late Edward Said was the keynote speaker.
Another gathering of anti-American radicals, with Obama right in the heart of things.......
Vera Baker absconded to the Carribean with the missing Khalidi/Obama tape and is blackmailing the Obama campaign!!
/SARCASM
fwiw, someone who has the tape or who can access it stands to make a real pile of money from one side or the other..... I’d love to be a fly on the wall for some discussions that may be going on right now.
Suffice it to say she's been doing plenty of "banking".
I hear rumors of wars...
