BOWLING GREEN, OH - Sarah Palin joined her running mate's attacks against Barack Obama and the media Wednesday, suggesting the Los Angeles Times is withholding a videotape that shows Obama watching as a former Palestinian Liberation Organization spokesman bashed Israel.
Palin departed from her stump speech to talk about Obama's "assortment of friends from Chicago." She described Rashid Khalidi, the former PLO spokesman, as "another radical professor from the neighborhood who spent a lot of time with Barack Obama going back several years." She said Obama was at a party for Khalidi in 2003, when he described Israel as the perpetrator of terrorism.
But she saved her hardest criticism for the newspaper that currently holds the tape, saying they was refusing to release it to aid Obama.
"It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that," Palin said. "In this case, we have a newspaper willing to throw aside even the public's right to know in order to protect a candidate that its own editorial board has endorsed. And if there's a Pulitzer Prize category for excelling in cow-towing, then the L.A. Times, you're winning."
Palin's comments echoed criticism John McCain has voiced in recent days. The Los Angeles Times has said they are not producing the tape because it was given to the newspaper with the condition that it not be released. But the paper documented the substance on the tape in an April 2008 article.
The Alaska governor said the newspaper could restore its credibility by producing the tape.

Hers comes the Barracuda. Cue the "Jaws" soundtrack into the DNC.
bumper... not bumber... duh
If that’s true, can someone PLEASE send it to Drudge... The height of hypocrisy
That is such a juicy quote! Don’tcha think Drudge would like that?
Fantastic!
Or, as an objective report would say....
But the paper claimed that it had documented the substance on the tape in an April 2008 article
MOST excellent!!!
GO SARAH!!!!!!
“ANOTHER radical professor from the neighborhood who spent a lot of time with Barack Obama going back several years.”
Establishing a pattern!
She is gold too!
Sarah ... 2012...She’s GREAT
“And if there’s a Pulitzer Prize category for excelling in cow-towing, then the L.A. Times, you’re winning.”
Oh SNAP!!!
Sarah “speaking truth to power”.
You go girl!
Looks to me like the McCain-Palin campaign is highly unified. What happened to all those “reports” that they are not? Oh, never mind.....:^)
That’s great, NYC Republican. I don’t have bumper stickers, but due to where we live, we really don’t need one. There might be one or two folks around here that are hardcore Dems, but the rest of us are all normal...and we love Sarah!
Would you people stop dissing on McCain? He is doing his best, and I’ve never seen him so animated. When he sits down for an interview, he is clearly the grown-up: reasonable and measured. He is who he is. Personally, I think he’s doing great and will be a great President, better in some ways than ‘W.’
"It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that," Palin said.
Sarahcuda's knows the LA Times is in the tank for Obama -
Of course, today's reporters and editors are semi-literate, at best.

What if The Messiah is just sitting meekly, saying nothing? Who would have egg on their face then...?
Perhaps we should be careful what we ask for.
