President-Elect Obama's Palestinian Buddy Rashid Khalidi sat down on the Radically Left radio show Democracy Now.

Calling him a spokesman is like saying Jabba the Hut has a slight weight and/or slimy skin problem.
As Reported by WND:
Khalidi director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, while the PLO was based in Lebanon and committing scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group.

During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an "apartheid system in creation" and a destructive "racist" state [see a video of one of Khalidi's hate speeches at the end of this post
