Obama worked with terrorist
Senator helped fund organization that rejects ‘racist’ Israel’s existence

Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.
The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi’s wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.
Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.
Obama served on the Wood’s Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.
Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama’s senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The $40,000 grant from Obama’s Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group’s reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN’s reported grants for that year.
The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago’s Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to “empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities.”
It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens.
Would the Saudis or Syrians be any more willing?
This coming from a real wonk on the foreign policy front. His record speaks for itself. As does who he worked for.
There just MIGHT be a pattern here.
>>>>“our” airspace, you ignorant twit?<<<<
Once a Commie wanna-be get into any form of control of an asset (land, property, etc) it becomes “OURS”.
The second 0bama gave ANY order to shoot down an Israeli warplane the entire US Military would resign and the next Civil War would start in America.
First of all it's Iraqi airspace, not "ours." But to answer Zbig's question -- no, I wouldn't recommend watching, I'd recommend helping.
Jimmy Carter surrounded himself with like minds -- those who despise Israel.
L’Shana Tova everyone. How is that a “liberty in reverse?”
It’s simple insanity. Liberalism is a mental disorder. There is no reasoning behind it.
How many decent-minded folks surround Obama? Just curious.....
These people are unbelievable.
MAY 2008 : (OBAMA ADVISOR ROBERT MALLEY, IN AN INTERVIEW, REVEALS HE HAS BEEN IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH HAMAS AS PART OF GEORGE SOROS'S THINK TANK ICG-- See ICG BOARDMEMBERS SOROS, BRZEZINSKI, FORMER GENERAL WESLEY CLARK ) International Crisis Group
In May 2008, Malley said in an interview that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, as part of his work for a conflict resolution think-tank called the International Crisis Group. This aroused ire and concern in pro-Israel circles, and prompted a spokesman for Obama to say that “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.”
One of the sponsors of the International Crisis Group is billionaire George Soros, who sits on its board and its executive committee. Other members of the board include former United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and former general Wesley Clark, who called US support for Israel during the Second Lebanon War a "serious mistake" and said that "New York money people" were pushing the United States towards a confrontation with Iran.

lol... he fits one of my “Gebhardt Rule” - do not trust people who have no eyebrows.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is Catholic. He is actually Polish nobility.
Now we have Democratic advisers calling for open warfare against Israel - and for the sake of Iran. Iran despises America, and they were responsible for the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of US soldiers in Iraq.
This guy Brez is frightening.
The Iraq War saved the world from a nuclear armed Iraq, and seriously encourage Libya to throw out its nuclear weapons program or face the consequences, (like losing your country). Now only Iran is left as an uncontrollable rogue state ready to attain nuclear weapon status. If the Iraq War had not been fought, Saddam would be in power and would have attained nuclear weapons, just to stay even with Iran. Libya would have also been in the nuclear club - it would have been a nightmare of Armageddon threats every week. The Iraq War defanged 2/3rds of that nuclear triumvirate - yet not a word of thanks is mentioned.
I fear we will surrender on Iran like Carter did, and we then watched the Russians slaughter 1.25MM Afghans when they realized the US was abandoning the area. Now Obama will be doing the same thing.
Carter Redux
We should be cheering the Israelis as they make the world a safer place.
The Democrats will cause more danger to American lives. They will reduce our security.
Thank for adding to this thread Piasa.
Why would a Muslim from Kenya care? seriously.
If Brezinski said this under Bush administration he would be laughed at.
Do you see anyone laughing?
Loved that movie!
Indeed, they were/are. They haven't changed a bit from then, completely, totally, irrevocably bonkers...
