LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama's close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April. Wallsten discussed a dinner held back in 2003 in honor of Khalidi, a critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights. Barack Obama has denied his close association with Khalidi, too.
No wonder the LA Times stuck it in a vault!
LA TIMES refuses to release it.
I guess Peter Wallsten doesn’t think that is important to this election!

Peter Wallsten is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times who covers the White House and national politics. He is also the author, with Tom Hamburger, of One Party Country: The Republican Plan for Dominance in the 21st Century.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina and a Chapel Hill native, he worked previously at the Miami Herald, St. Petersburg Times, Charlotte Observer and the Congressional Quarterly. He lives in Washington, D.C.
Khalidi and the Obamas were great friends in Chicago and often shared meals together.
By the way, Khalidi was also best friends with Bill Ayers.
Wallston said that the article was written after he watched video taken at the Khalidi going away party. When I asked him about the video he said that as far as he was concerned he was through with the story.
I asked him if he was planning on releasing this video of Obama toasting the radical Khalidi at this Jew-bash. He told me he was not releasing the video. He also would not comment on his source for the video. Wallston also said he did not know if Khalidi’s good friend Bill Ayers was at the event or not.

I should have added this part in the main article.
In Chicago, the Khalidis founded the Arab American Action Network, and Mona Khalidi served as its president. A big farewell dinner was held in their honor by AAAN with a commemorative book filled with testimonials from their friends and political allies. These included the left wing anti-war group Not In My Name, the Electronic Intifada, and the ex-Weatherman domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. (There were also testimonials from then-state Senator Barack Obama and the mayor of Chicago.)
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.

Barack Obama claims to be a supporter of Israel and a friend of the Jewish people. But many of the people who helped him in the course of his rise to political power, or whom he helped during his political ascent, are extremely anti-Israel, or even outright anti-Semitic. Let’s examine the views and careers of just a few of Obama’s anti-Israel and/or anti-Semitic benefactors and protégés:
I’m going to post this as a stand alone article.
Reports emerging of video of Obama at an anti-Jew bashing event ping.
Good Idea!
O...Mi...Gosh!
Y’all got IT!
You guys rock!
So basically what you are saying is that secular Jews are the same as liberals, right?
If that is so then we shouldn’t expect them to behave politically any differently than the rest of liberals. White liberals, black liberals, German liberals, Jewish (by genes only), Heinz 57 liberals. All liberals, all the same. From here you may add your own list of adjectives.
I have noticed that the in general more modern/secularised/liberal Jews , the less loyalty to Israel, the more sympathy to Islamisists and the more hatred of America/Christians,
and the more traditional/religious the Jews are the more they are loyal and committed to the survival of the Jewish state, the more tolerant of Chrisitans, the more they despise Islamisists, and the more pro-American.
The modern/liberal/secular Jews tend to blame Israel for its enemies’ hatred of us, they tend to blame the victim, just like the Americans who blame America and the West for the hatred our enemies have for us. They tend to somehow think that we are causing the Islamic Jihadists to kill us. I find this thinking twisted and based on guilt and Jewish self hatred that is deeply embedded in these Jews’ souls. This guilt and self hatred can in some people be so pervasive that they are actually suicidal, these Jews actually do not believe that Israel and/or the Jewish people have a right to exist. Hence, these Jews support policies that are basically placing the Jewish neck on the chopping block, but all of this is subconscious and they cannot accept or admit this deep self hatred, so they wrap these suicidal policies in words that placate them and make them feel moral and good about themselves like ‘peace process’.
These Jews are sorely misguided and deeply conflicted within themselves hence their elaborate intellectual ‘logical’ arguments and rationalizations for their destructive suicidal ideology, and their deep denial about the nature of our enemies’ goals and our enemies’ deep hatred of us.
There is also these Jews’ desire to be accepted by the non-Jews, and this stems from a deep insecurity and weak conflicted identity as Jews, and like people who suffer from the Stockholm syndrome (see Patty Hearst kidnapping case), these Jews identify with the anti-Semitic oppressors.
Unfortunately, this describes the mind set of the majority of American jews who are assimilated and who will vote for Obama
don’t need the tape...all one has to do is watch this video of NObama and Odinga, to know everything you need to know about his Marxist ideology, and his support for radical Islam:
