Over 100 Pumas are there already. . .
. . . Today we are demanding that the LA Times release the videotape of Barack Obama at a Chicago dinner for Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi is a prominent pro-Palestine scholar and professor at Columbia University who has written extensively about Palestinian issues. Unsurprisingly, he is not popular in many pro-Israeli circles. This is irrelevant to our effort. Rashid Khalidi is not the point. What is at issue here is what Barack Obama said at the dinner, and more importantly, what on earth is a supposedly free press organization like the L.A. Times doing suppressing the story? They’ve admitted they have the tape, including Obama’s remarks, but they won’t even release a transcript. Why not?
This is an egregious example of how our corporate media has lost its way. The L.A. Times clearly believes the tape contains images or words that may be damaging to one of the candidates running for President, and so rather than sharing that information with the electorate and allowing us to make up our own minds, the L.A. Times is deciding to “help” us make up our minds by withholding facts. They are attempting to “guide” the outcome of a presidential election by withholding information in their possession.
Imagine if the L.A. Times had a tape of, say, Sarah Palin at a dinner for a prominent anti-abortion leader in which she addresses the audience and lavishes praise on the anti-abortion activist. Do you think it would be right for the newspaper to refuse to release even a transcript of the event? I don’t. . .

PUMA BUMP!
Go PUMAS!!!
“We Can Handle The Truth” LOL
We should just take every evil thing Khalidi has said and done and while dripping with sarcasm say that Obama must agree and be a fellow traveler if the LA Times won’t release the tape.
The onus will be on the LA Times to prove us wrong!!
Wow. The PUMAS really get out there and make noise. Maybe Repubs ought to take some lessons.
Go!
BUMP FOR FREEDOM...GREAT PHOTOS!!!!!
Anybody have a gauge on how many “PUMA’s” there are nationwide?

Can someone give us the definition of PUMA again?
WOW, those PUMA’S are unrelenting. Glad they’re on our side. :)
Anyone know if this is true???
I still think they aren’t releasing to protect the Clinton campaign. I’d bet the farm that is their source. Consider the timing. (Of course, I don’t actually have a farm. But if I did...)

I believe it was the local chicago paper, which had the same parent company as the LA Times.
A PUMA is an American who got Obama shoved down their throat with no recourse.
Like 75% of Americans did this election.
Or in this case

There are apparently several sets of PUMAS, all with the seemingly same goal - prevent Obama from being elected.
Thanks for your reply to my post.
If the LA Times had ANYTHING to do with getting Ryan’s divorce papers released, it would show a REAL DOUBLE STANDARD concerning their holding the tape.
The Chicago Tribune did. I don’t know about LAT.
