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.

How many muslims and allies(the american haters) hope and intend to own USA with B.HUSSEIN O.?

This could be another way to look at the OSAMABAMA’s candidacy.A Huge world wide effort to weaken USA.

Islamists already weakened the old Europe after years of SSocialism and national-SSocialism in the context of mental and moral weakness/guilty conscience.With a big immigration and a high birth rate and the big help of liberals,multiculturalists,western-world/judeo-christian haters...arabo-africano-muslims are surely a growing power in large parts of western Europe and in the Balkans’ area(Kosovo,Bosnia,Albania)

Don't you do that ALL CAPS yell at me simply because I said I'm not surprised that allies of the Palestinians are supporting Obama.

Calm down.

"Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking."

So Obama admits to spending all kinds of time over halal meals getting his head filled with Islamic ideology, or rather, having what he'd already learned many years ago in that Indonesian Maderasa reaffirmed.

Does Obama care to share who else was present at these special dinner/discussions?

Would Obama care to share what the topics were at these special get together's?

Obama is no Christian. Of that we can be 100% certain. He hasn't even been baptized, never mind never having been exposed the Gospel of Christ, only the rantings of Rev. Wright which has no Christian content what so ever.

“Cuban secret police offered the “brigadistas” money, advice and logistical support. Some Americans were also given guerrilla warfare training and instructed in the use of weapons and explosives.”

Ayer’s wife, Bernadine Dohrn = Domestic Bin Laden

From;

http://www.sodahead.com/question/155269/

Bernadine Dohrn made numerous contacts with Fidel Castro’s Cuban Mission at the UN in 1968 and 1969, during which time she arranged for SDS groups to visit Havana.

After returning from Cuba, Dohrn and others met with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss antiwar strategy on US campuses. Speaking a few days later at an assembly of revolutionary student movements at Columbia University, Dohrn reported that the Vietnamese communists she met in Budapest were working with US GIs in Saigon, attempting to obtain military information.

As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he “left the room to cry.” He said, “I realized...America was an evil... and that I was... living inside the belly of the beast....”

In January 1969, at the request of the Cubans and the Vietnamese, Dohrn assembled another SDS delegation to travel to Havana to plan what the Chicago Sun-Times called an “antiwar campaign during an eight-day seminar with representatives of Hanoi and the Viet Cong.”

Dohrn became a key planner in the founding of the Venceremos Brigades. Ostensibly a “solidarity” program for US leftists to visit and support Castro’s Cuba, the group was actually organized by Cuban intelligence as a covert attack on US security.

Cuban secret police offered the “brigadistas” money, advice and logistical support. Some Americans were also given guerrilla warfare training and instructed in the use of weapons and explosives.

While they were in Cuba, Huynh Van Ba, a representative of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam (Viet Cong) advised his American allies to “look for the person who fights hardest against the cops.” Dohrn stayed in telephone contact with Ba after returning home.

Wow, talk about "gilding the lilly!" If it were more accurate, this would read,

It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of bombings, murders, and telling blood libels around the campfire!"

“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.”

Tthat’s exactly what I can’t understand. Jews that support Obama. As a Jew, I find it incredulous.

I fear for Israel if Obama is elected. I've watched him for quite some time now. I no longer believe him when he says he is not a muslim. He lies every time his lips start moving.
