Palin To LAT: Release The Tape
National Journal ^ | 10/29/08 | staff

Posted on 10/29/2008 11:24:46 AM PDT by pissant

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.

There has to be a duplicate. No way would there only be one tape in this day and age.

Biden's on gaffe watch in Florida today. There will be a huge concert in Central Fla. It's a free Jimmy Buffett concert.

Go, Sarah!

The BHO List you have updated is fabulous. Hopefully, the GOP is lurking here. We are down to the wire and there's the World Series tonight from Phillie. I don't think Bill Clinton can save Bambi tonight. Clinton didn't help Kerry in Fla either!

LA Times, listen to the next VP, Sarah Palin.

Todd and Joe would make a cool team to go to their own smaller events, too! The Macho Dude Mini-Tour.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mossad has a copy of the tape. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they would lend it out to certain “friends of Israel.”

Who wants to bet if NBC mentions Palin at all today, they will start with the wardrobe flap which is now nearly 7 news cycles old, and the “tension” between her and Mac. They would amuse me if they weren’t so dangerous.

It would be sweet. But only speculation on my part. The Mossad has a hugh intelligence operation in the US that monitors Arab/Islamic groups within our borders.

love Sarah

We have to keep saying and asking at these rallies

do you want to work so those who do not work get some of your money in the form of a tax rebate?

do you want illegals to have drivers licenses social security?

keep asking that and it will work, the tax issue is working keep it up.

The GOP, and every republican should be pushing the LA times and mentioning this, sadly only Giuliani is the only one who seem to be out there right now explaining this in easy terms

Not seen much of Lieberman

I was hoping he would be living down in south Florida making this an issue to all the Jewish voters.

If they’re going to listen to anyone then it will be him

come on Lieberman, lets hear you

I have just called this woman and WOW
I AM FUMING

The arrogance of this woman who answered, she kept saying read our statement.
She would not let me finish and so I carried on and on saying do you seriously think we believe your statement on protecting your source, why no transcript?,

Why have a tap if it will never be shown?

why mention the story if you can not back it up?

why take a tape if you can’t show it?

anyway the arrogant woman said to me that she is putting me though to comments and cut me off.

I called back to her and she put the phone down on me again

EVERYONE should call and give this woman questions and let their feelings be known

THE ARROGANCE OF THIS PAPER

THEY actually think putting the phone down on the public will make this go away

I just called this Russ stanton’s office and asked why they will not release the tape and I did not take the lie of”well we’re protecting our source”
