There’s a lot of hysteria on the Internet. Unsubstantiated claims are tossed around like hot potatoes, and as a result it has become a heck of a lot easier to ruin someone’s career, or tarnish their image. Considering this, Sen. Barack Obama created a website — very wisely, I might add — solely focused on discrediting false accusations hurdled against him. I invite you to visit the site at FightTheSmears.com, where Sen. Obama’s campaign, amongst other things, debunks the claims that the Democrat nominee is a Muslim, or that Mrs. Obama referred to white people as “whitey.” And for good measure, the site also assures us that, yes, Barack loves the troops.
What’s glaring, however, is what is not on the site. The real questions; the things left unmentioned. Atop that list is one Dr. Khalid al Mansour, a man who describes himself as an “internationally acknowledged advisor to heads-of-state and business leaders in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North America.”
Mansour is involved in the African investment activities of Kingdom Holdings, the investment company of Saudi Arabian Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal (who Rudy Giuliani famously rebuked at Ground Zero).
Mansour sits on the boards of nearly a dozen conglomerates and banks all over the world. Oh, and just in case you didn’t think his resume was impressive enough, he’s also authored two dozen books. Richard Fernandez called Mansour “the human equivalent of the Nigerian e-mail scam.”
Sounds too good to be true, right?

Different radical. That is Rashid Khalidi. Khalid al-Mansour was a secret Obama benefactor. Though he was likely in attendance at the shindig you refer to.
Well, actually, very few of the claims made on “Fight the Smears” are true.
It claims to be fighting smears and lies, but in actuality it is packed full of lies and unfounded assertions.
Barack was “never a Muslim”? Oh, sure, and bill clinton never told a lie.
Fightthesmears.org, citing factcheck.org, which is managed by an arm of the Annenburg Foundation.
Yet you won’t read it anywhere.
Obama lied, Democracy died.
