Liar! Slip back under the sleezy Obama rock from whence you slithered to FR to post this smelly crap. Here's the facts, fool, courtesy of Freeper Diamond:

This (McCain gave money to Khalidi crap) is a Huffington Post smear of McCain that Alan Colmes picked up and repeated as gospel to Sean Hannity. Any time Alan Colmes states a purported obscure 'fact' I trust him about as far as I can throw a grand piano. Colmes sandbagged Hannity with it, but I looked it up. The grant was NOT for Khalidi's PLO. It was for a pro-western democracy group, CPRS.

IRI Statement Regarding Work with Palestinians

For Immediate Release October 29, 2008

Washington, DC

Questions have arisen regarding the International Republican Institute?s (IRI) work with Palestinians in the 1990s.

In the 1990s, IRI gave grants to the Center for Palestinian Research and Studies (CPRS) for polling in the West Bank/Gaza. The polls measured support for the peace process, for various Palestinian political groups, and for efforts to enhance governance in the West Bank/Gaza. At that time no other organization could credibly conduct polling in the West Bank/Gaza.

We understand that Rashid Khalidi was one of the many founders of CPRS, and we understand that he was for some (unclear) amount of time a board member. IRI did not in the 1990s conduct background checks of grantees founders or board members. IRI did on a number of occasions vet CPRS as an organization, including, as was our custom, with the Israeli government, and we were given no cause for concern.

We do not recall any contact between Mr. Khalidi and IRI, and there is no evidence that Mr. Khalidi benefited in any way from IRI's grants.

Other organizations that reportedly gave funding to CPRS include the National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce?s Center for International Private Enterprise, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the Japanese Embassy, and Germany?s Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.

IRI"s relationship with CPRS ended in 2000, and we understand that it no longer exists. http://www.iri.org/newsreleases/2008-10-29-IRI.asp

Colmes is an a$$ and most of his talking points are riddled with untruths. He is loathsome. Thank you for posting the facts.

Every time one of these lying operatives for the Obama goon squad is exposed, it ought to remind us of what this man really is that he employs an army of liars and spittlists: Dirty little Marxist squirrel from the Chicago crimefest ACORN tree.
