LA Times Won't Release Video of Obama Publicly Praising Former PLO Operative Rashid Khalidi
Gateway Pundit via Hillary Clinton Forum ^ | 10-6-08 | staff

Posted on 10/07/2008 10:53:24 AM PDT by Anti-Hillary

Not only does Barack Obama's church of 20 years support Hamas and Hezbollah but Barack Obama also has a long close friendship and financial association with suspected former PLO operative and Israel hater Rashid Khalidi. Last night Sean Hannity dared to report Barack and Michelle Obama's radical associate and friend:

Barack Obama funnelled thousands of dollars of cash to Rashidi's anti-Israel Foundation through his work on the Woods Fund.

In 2000, Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative who justified Palestinian terrorism as contributing to "political enlightenment," threw a fundraiser for his friend Barack Obama.

Although he is described as a former PLO operative, via Free Republic, this is what Rashid Khalidi has to say about Palestinian terrorism against Jews:

On Palestinian violence. Khalidi glorifies anti-Israel violence as contributing to “political enlightenment”[vii] and unsurprisingly admires those who carry it out. His loyalty to Palestinian terrorist groups run so deep that he actually dedicated his 1986 valentine to the PLO, Under Siege, to “those who gave their lives . . . in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon.”[viii] The book whitewashes PLO violence against Israelis and Lebanese, as well as the Syrian occupation. The LA Times wrote an article about Obama's association with Rashid Khalidi in April:

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." The LA Times acknowledged it has a video of this tribute Barack Obama gave to the Khalidis at their going away party. But, the LA Times won't release this video before the election. It's hard to imagine that they would hold onto a video of Sarah Palin praising an anti-Israeli radical and former PLO operative... But, that is today's mainstream media.

Tom Maguire has more on this radical friend of Barack and Michelle Obama.

UPDATE: The LA Times may not release the video of Obama praising a good friend and former PLO operative but they did publish an attack on John McCain's military service today. Barack Obama was never in the military, of course.

No, the MSM won’t print anything detrimental to Obama, the Messiah- and McCain has coddled Obama and apologized for those who dared criticize Obama while Obama heaped abuse and insults on him and Palin. Well, he’s beginning to wake up and answer him back a bit, but so far it’s not enough.
He should have been hitting him hard and exposing him from the start.

If McCain doesn’t get off his duff and get out there and hit Obama every day, he’s handing the presidency over to Barack Hussein Obama.

Why is he not mentioning such things as Obama trying to turn Missouri into a police state? Obama trying to turn our children into ‘Hitler youth’?
Enough about the d*mn economy! State why it was Obama/Dems/Acorn who helped cause the meltdown. State the bill you proposed to ward off this disaster, then LET IT GO.
Obama is counting on harping on the economy to overshadow every thing. What the h*ll does the economy matter when we have the Jihad Candidate a heart beat away from the presidency?
EXPOSE him. Show the dumbed down American voter what he is.

Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!

To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDWO WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

“...We need to get operatives into every MSM outlet and stat...”

First, we have to help McCain win this election.

Then a class action suit demanding the license of CBS, NBC, ABC. The FCC issues those licenses in the ‘public interest’. These are no longer independent news organizations. They are a propaganda arm of the democrat party.

There is abundant proof.

If Obama wins....I hope you all have plenty of food and ammo.

I wonder what would happen if tens of millions of folks, all at once, were to boycott all schools across this country, by pulling their children out, demanding that the unions be broken and a complete reboot of our entire educational system.

We already have an educational crisis, we might as well try to turn it inside out.

The government can’t arrest that many people and the present system would crash without federal and state funding. In other words.... stand united and force the issue in overwhelming numbers.

Yuri Bezmenov, Soviet defector, explains what was planned and implemented.

Alinsky was merely restating the plans for American consumption and implementation.

Obama’s buddy Ayers was merely an operative.

Actually Hillary did. She brought up Ayers and it was brought up by Stephanopolous during a debate. Theres tons of references to Ayers on Google back in April. Hillary predicted in the debate that this was going to come up.

The MSM wants a war with the people seeking the truth about Obama and they will have it. It will be a bloodless war but one where they and their advertisers (what few they have left) will feel.

So, this is why Obama will not discuss his columbia years. This is where he was recruited to be the American Presidential Jihadist?
