JERUSALEM – Did Sen. Barack Obama misrepresent his relationship with a pro-Palestinian activist and harsh critic of Israel who has been described as a friend of the senator?

During a campaign stop yesterday at a Boca Raton, Fla., synagogue, Obama was asked about his association with Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, who has made repeated statements supportive of Palestinian terrorism.

He has misrepresented his relationship with his commie mentor in Hawaii, his radical ‘friends’ in college, his chicago sponsor Bill Ayers, his spirtual and political advisor Jeremiah the Bullfrog, his druggie and moneyman Tony Rezko, and his gay buddy Larry Sinclair.

So Osamabama claims he barely knew this guy Rashidi, while:

Rashidi hosted a fund-raiser for BHO’s 2000 COngressional campaign;

The Woods Foundation, on whose board BHO sits, funds Rashidi’s wife’s anti-Israel group the AAAN;

the Osamabamas baby-sat the Rashidi kids!

I think B. Hussein is just suffering from ED: “Excessive Dishonesty!”

That’s all fine, but that should not cause you to doubt his word. His word is his bond. (Urrp!)

Not only that, but Obama’s warm tribute to Khalidi when Khalidi was leaving Chicago to take up the position at Columbia made clear that the relationship had been a close personal friendship to that date..... Obama is lying again to try to minimize his tendency to embrace hateful anti-American terrorist-loving scumbags.

Folks, this is one of Obama’s most flagrant and disgraceful lies yet. I knew I’d read this recently — Obama himself talking about many dinners at Khalidi’s HOME, dinners prepared by Khalidi’s wife, many talks.....

Obama has just shot himself in the foot or worse - he can’t spin this one.

We’ve gotta get this out to all the news and talk show outlets.....


LA TIMES:

CHICAGO — It was a celebration of Palestinian culture — a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.

A special tribute came from Khalidi’s friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi’s wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around “this entire world.”
