How Many Special Tributes Do You Do for “Just a Guy in the Hood?”
By American Girl in Italy on October 30, 2008 at 9:00 AM in Current Affairs, Media Bias, Obama, Rashid Khalidi, Transparency
Below is video of Obama being questioned by a Jewish man at an event in Florida about Rashad Khalidi. Obama basically said Khalidi is just a guy in the ‘hood, (you know, just like he did with Ayers). “A professor in Chicago, whose kids went to school with my kids.”
“He is not one of my advisers. He’s not one of my foreign policy people,” Obama said at a campaign event in May. “He is a respected scholar, although he vehemently disagrees with a lot of Israel’s policy.”
That is not true. In fact, Obama and Khalidi were close friends and their families frequently ate together and shared intimate moments. Michelle, for example, attended a wedding limited largely to family at the Khalidis.
“Khalidi was a frequent dinner guest at the Obama’s home and at his farewell dinner in 2003 Obama joined the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers in giving testimonials on Khalidi’s role in the community.” 
Based on an article Peter Wallsten wrote in April, someone finally put two and two together, and we now know that the Times is actually sitting on the video that they used to write this article.
So…why would the Times write this piece, then endorse Obama, and then put this tape in a *lockbox*? Perhaps this was a preemptive article, trying to sugar coat the ties between Obama and Khalidi, in case jouranlists actually ever did their job, and really looked into the story. Or perhaps Peter Wallsten was doing his job, and trying to expose this relationship. So, if his article is so accurate, why are they hiding the tape? hmmm
But it is weird that the Times wrote a story about this, and are now claiming they can’t release the tape, because they are protecting the source of the tape. I figure the tape either has to be really bad for Obama, and they were writing a fluff preemptive piece in case the tape ever came out. Or, the writer is now being pressured by the paper to cover it up (since they endorsed him, and all).
Either way, I don’t see how NOT releasing the tape is protecting a source. If someone gave them the tape, they can be protected by not revealing their name. But is covering up the content of the tape protecting a source? (”here mr. newspaper man, watch this tape, and write an article about it, but don’t ever show the tape”?? why?)
So, that begs the question: who would have given the writer the tape? It doesn’t make sense that someone opposed to Obama would have done it, and then insist that the tape not be released. They would want the tape out, no? So, is it someone pro-Obama who gave the tape to LA Times, so they could do a *CYA* piece for Obama, and they made the paper promise they would never release it, because it is baaaaaaad for Obama? The *source* gave the tape to Wallsten, and he was allowed to write an article about it. So, why the big secret on the content of the tape? However, the writer does make some rather potentially dangerous observations in the article. :OS
Based on my deductive reasoning (haha), it would seem to me that the LA Times is, pure and simple, covering this up for Obama. I don’t believe they are covering for any source. I think they are just in *puppy love* with Obama, and they won’t do anything to harm *that one*. I think the writer wrote his piece, and now he is pressured to stay quiet from the paper.
That makes the most sense to me… Oh hell I don’t know! I can’t figure it out. haha
All I know is Obama lied about the extent of their relationship, which is a pattern with him. And the tape should be released. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Here is the original article, with some snipits below.
It was a celebration of Palestinian culture — a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
A special tribute came from Khalidi’s friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi’s wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.
His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around “this entire world.”
And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor’s going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.
Their belief is not drawn from Obama’s speeches or campaign literature, but from comments that some say Obama made in private and from his association with the Palestinian American community in his hometown of Chicago, including his presence at events where anger at Israeli and U.S. Middle East policy was freely expressed.
At Khalidi’s 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, “then you will never see a day of peace.”
One speaker likened “Zionist settlers on the West Bank” to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been “blinded by ideology.”
…
Last year, for example, Obama was quoted saying that “nobody’s suffering more than the Palestinian people.” The candidate later said the remark had been taken out of context, and that he meant that the Palestinians were suffering “from the failure of the Palestinian leadership [in Gaza] to recognize Israel” and to renounce violence.
…
Among other community events, Obama in 1998 attended a speech by Edward Said, the late Columbia University professor and a leading intellectual in the Palestinian movement. According to a news account of the speech, Said called that day for a nonviolent campaign “against settlements, against Israeli apartheid.”
The use of such language to describe Israel’s policies has drawn vehement objection from Israel’s defenders in the United States. A photo on the pro-Palestinian website the Electronic Intifada shows Obama and his wife, Michelle, engaged in conversation at the dinner table with Said, and later listening to Said’s keynote address. Obama had taken an English class from Said as an undergraduate at Columbia University.
Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run Electronic Intifada, said that he met Obama several times at Palestinian and Arab American community events. At one, a 2000 fundraiser at a private home, Obama called for the U.S. to take an “even-handed” approach toward Israel, Abunimah wrote in an article on the website last year. He did not cite Obama’s specific criticisms.
Abunimah, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.
Abunimah quoted Obama as saying that he was sorry he wasn’t talking more about the Palestinian cause, but that his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.
…
While teaching at the University of Chicago, Khalidi and his wife lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood near the Obamas. The families became friends and dinner companions.
In 2000, the Khalidis held a fundraiser for Obama’s unsuccessful congressional bid. The next year, a social service group whose board was headed by Mona Khalidi received a $40,000 grant from a local charity, the Woods Fund of Chicago, when Obama served on the fund’s board of directors.
At Khalidi’s going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. “You will not have a better senator under any circumstances,” Khalidi said.
The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.
Check out these articles about Tape Gate, from FOX and LA Times.
So, what is your theory?
UPDATE: Doug Ross of Doctor Blue writes:
“Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.” It would be really controversial if it got out. Tha’s why they will not even let a transcript get out.”
UPDATE 2: Sarah Palin went after the LA Times about this, too.
For me, this is about judgement and honesty. And there is no truth coming from Obama.

This just confirms to me that the liberal media knows how much this tape will destroy Obama’s chances of becoming President.
We as Americans have every right to know about our candidates.
God help us if this man is elected, and I mean that seriously.
You’re right. Thats why we’ve been working so hard for so many months to defeat him.. The “Right” has to figure this out too. The Repubs have to come out big time. They have to rally behind McCain, like there’s no tomorrow. They cannot depend on the PUMAS to bring it home. It’s time to get serious, seriously!
Don’t you worry about republicans, they have this down.
Yes, I do worry about the Republicans. The last guy we want out there talking is the corrupted guy from Texas- here he comes out in the last days of the campaign- almost as if he wanted to destroy the republican party. Mr. Delay needs to go back into the woods- the last thing we need to be reminded of his corruption. I am tired, I have been blogging the same info of this guy at the same dinner since it came out and NOW it arrived. The Republicans did not do their jobs, simple as that! They were so afraid of running against Hillary that they helped destroyed her, like Dick Morris, and now they realize that maybe it was better to run against the Clintons instead of this guy who seems to put spells on the american people. The only thing I pray is that all the conservatives come out with the help of the conservative democrats and moderate and beat the hell out of this man who will help destroy our country! Let us pray they all show up in a huge stampe.
so much for “birds of a feather”
these people are all turning out to be friggen garbage dump pigeons!!!
I don’t WANT the U.S. to turn into a 3rd world dump with bambi and his heinous associates wandering around MY RECORDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS!!
YUCK
Americans just can’t be this stupid AGAIN can they?
The color may have flipped this year from RED to BLUE being the color of LIES but the story is still the same.
WHY do UNQUALIFIED FOOLS keep getting elected????
Bill C was the last ———- since 2000 it’s been stupid, stupid, stupid commander’s in thief (dah guess who that is?) but if America does it yet again???? I really will have nothing left to argue. It will just be U.S. of IDIOTS yet again.
dee,dee,dee!
LA Times had a tape of Jack Reid that they released and destroyed Jack Reid. this helped Obama to win his Senate seat in 2004
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zR7KJOeAWc
do any of these journalists stop to realize that eventually all of the truths about Obama will come out? That they are going to be considered deceptive, lacking in integrity and may I say, very close to being guilty of TREASON for not revealing what they know? The love of money is the root of all evil and I am sure money is behind most of what is going on w Obama’s popularity. Reason alone tells us that. All I can say is there are going to be ALOT of people who have some serious answering to do for their behavior…SERIOUS.
This is yet another of Obama’s BIG FAT LIES…he and Michelle are knee deep in w all of these radical people that DO NOT REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. You don’t associate w people who don’t share your beliefs.
Hey Wodiej
If Bambi wins they will keep those secrets forever!(don’t you think?)
Or until the NEXT useless generation of punks moves in and conveniently skips all history classes and votes for a loser punk instead of a hero yet again!
grrrrrr
So they say, but I think “religious enthusiasm” is a very strong candidate.

O? NO!
Thank you for the post.
Why would someone video anything….and then send it to the print media ???……very strange.
They too aren’t being honest. That was probably a condition of getting the tape, so it wouldn’t be views.
Just like Mr. Hale from Texas tried to buy the Michelle phone interview from African Press Int’l, with the agreement it not be aired. He thought the price would be enough to the suppression of tape and information.
And, of course, now the Obama campaign has confirmed that the tape is real by trying to bribe API with 3 million dollars to cancel the deal wiht FOX.
That is another bull crap. You don’t think Fox would be airing this already, please!
Well, consiering this just happened yesterday, keep your panties on before tossing and lets see if they are being truthful. Something tells me Camp Obama would have already slapped them with threats of lawsuits, like they did here in our country just to try to stop a network from airing and AD THEY DID’T LIKE! lmao
I thought Ed Hale was anti-Obama. Why was he trying to suppress this?
because they wanted to publicize their event for their glorious comrade?
and then they realized that the world be horrified by their racist and anti-semetic rants at the event and Dear Leader won’t get elected so now they don’t want the tape publicized?
just a guess…

Harp,
Good question. And then make this media outlet PROMISE not to let anyone see it.
Off topic slightly The Patriot Room website has an interesting article titled “Once Obama is elected, you will not be able to vote him out of office.”
omg now THAT is a scary thought!!!

The entire campaign of Obama is composed of lies stacked atop lies!
I understand he loves poker…guess he plans to keep bluffing through the rest of this process!
Apparently his enablers are too cowardly to lay their cards on the table!
We need to remember, for a long time, the complicity of those who have corrupted the democratic process, and in doing so, have damaged our country!
Sassy,
I received a joke about Obama’s lies. I’m not tech savvy and don’t even know cut and paste. Anyway…
There are lie clocks in heaven where whenever anyone LIES the hands move. Mother Teresa’s clock hands have never moved because she has never told a lie. Abraham Lincoln hands have only moved twice. The visitor asked about Obama’s clock and was told that it was in Jesus’ office being used as a ceiling fan.
From Little Green Footballs – here’s the dirt:
Doug Ross has received a tip from a reader he says has been reliable in the past, with some inside information on the videotape that the Los Angeles Times continues to hide:
Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”
It would be really controversial if it got out. Tha’s why they will not even let a transcript get out.
Caveat: I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this. However, it certainly would explain why the LA Times is suppressing the video.
that is posted as an update in my story. didn’t you read every single word of my post??? ;O) Just teasing you!
Obama loves to say about someone he has fraternized with and is of questionable character: “He (she) is not someone I consult with on a daily basis.” of “He (she) is not one of my advisors”. So that is supposed to give us comfort? Obama chooses his words VERY carefully and is fully scripted, even walking around with a teleprompter to make sure of it. His lies are so blatant I am surprised no one has mistaken him for PINOCCHIO! Unfortunately, the media in all its forms (television, main stream, cable, newspapers, magazines) are all OBAMA biased and covering up for him. The candidacy of Barack Obama is the bigget fraud ever perpetuated upon the American people.
Amazing info. I don’t know how accurate it is but It is mind boggling. The democratic defection is horrendous.

Interesting…although traditionally the absentee voters have always been skewed Republican.
Still, with this year’s emphasis upon vote eary by Obama, it was SUPPOSED to be different.
Nevada info was really surprising to me.
Yea, can you imagine what will happen in PA and OH where they basically called 70% of the voters bigots and racists.
yes, a congressman called everyone racists…
then when back on tv and said he meant to say Rednecks….
which i guess is his “code” for racists…
to use an Obama phrase…

Obama has pretty much called the people in PA racists as well. He just put it in a nicer way.
Yes, John something along the the lines of ‘antipathy’ toward those that are not like them.
American translation: Bitter, Bible thumping, gun-toting bigots.
This is VERY interesting. And I totally agree with AnninCA that the numbers from Nevada are really quite surprising.
Just to back this up here is an other report.
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/shocker-team-hillary-believes-mccain-will-win-new-hampshire-and-maine
John— I pray this is true- Let me tell you about Obama in Sunrise, Florida. First, I can walk to the beginning of Sunrise the city. It separates my town. My town is mostly retired, jews, whites, and educated hispanics. In sunrise, mostly are African americans- it is a small example of Sanford, Florida near Orlando. Mostly, educated middle class blacks. Obama picks these areas in Florida because he knows he can get a big crowd. He wouldn’t pick Coral Springs, Coral Gables, Tamarac, Boca Raton, West Palm, because he knows that these areas will tell him to go fly a frigging kite. Hillary was mostly campaigning in these areas when she came down here and the crowds were large- but SINCE she sold her soul to the corrupted DNC instead of the american people, the crowds “don’t give a flying crap” about her appearance neither. Sorry, I had to say that, but, the truth hurts us but it has to be said.
Well I live in Florida as well and I supported Kerry and the Dems in the last two elections. I even gave Kerry some of my very hard earned dollars. This year however I can’t vote for Obama. My entire argument about the PUMA effect is the following. If I am not supporting Obama then there must be a lot more who feel the same way. It will only take a few % of dems to cross over to turn this election in to a McCain’s victory.
I guess wecan call that the PUMA effect!!
a great snip from that article
Florida is already seeing almost 34% of the total 2004 vote for Florida – stunning. And the advantage for Dems on this site is 45.4% to 39% (including absentee). So with a really high 6.4% advantage in turnout Obama is losing by 4%. That is some massive defection numbers away from Obama. And it would seem a large turnout is not a bad thing at all for McCain-Palin, since it will swamp the Obama strengths in certain demographics.
If this is an indication of things to come, the liberals are in for a rough week.
(their quote not mine)
American girl – Great post. Love the cartoon. It really does explain (with humor) why Obama is an unacceptable candidate. Nice to know I still have a sense of humor.
Anyone see the op-ed (in NYT, I think) by Bob Kerry of Nebraska, saying the dems are hypocrits about Obama not taking campaign financing, but thats ok. Because its shown that maybe we don’t need campaign financing any more. Scary stuff.
It really does confirm the dem party in no longer the party of the middle class. Will the masks come off the dem party completely before the election or are they going to change halloween to nov 4th.
I was listening to Hugh Hewitt when the news of this first came out. He was reading people’s emails he’d received. One had a theory that it was to protect Hillary Clinton who maybe gave them the tape so they would write the article, but since then can’t be seen as one out to destroy Obama. That kind of made a little sense to me.
They also said that Bush should declare it classified info and then the Times would be certain to release it! LOL!
that is what i thought too!
I personally believed that the Ayre stuff didn’t work. It is really astonishing.
You see still all polls show in his side with high favorite. I am just wondering what is going on with the people.
I will always think it was Joe the Plumber. Not only did he cut to the bottom line on tax implications, but he also pulled Obama’s covers big-time on how he treats people. Obama and Biden’s reaction to Joe…..huge turn-off.
I think that turned the tide.
yes… but that just goes to show how arrogant Dear Leader is…
Dennis Miller spoke about this recently… it was funny…
he called Obama creepy…

then he moves to how Obama’s mocking of Joe the Plumber was creepy…

Well, all the tapes and comments by outsiders means very little to pragmatic types. However, the actions speak loudly.
His put-down on Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail was a HUGE mistake.
And he did it over and over.
People “got” it. That’s his real attitude. He doesn’t think Joe the Plumber can really succeed.
I believe that people were deeply offended by that. They started listening to McCain on his tax message. And they see that McCain lets Joe the Plumber even campaign, answer questions. With Obama, it’s an infomercial and lock-down of records and even his running mate now.
John has turned the tide.
dennis miller totally nailed it last night, about that. it was hilarious.
Since the polls seem to be fairly inaccurate as a whole, who’s to say what resonates and what doesn’t?
Those here who have seen all the facts and research certainly care about all these issues. Would not the general public care the same if given the information?

EXCLUSIVE: Ali Abunimah is Likely Source of Secreted Obama/Khalidi/Ayers Tape; LA Times’ Wallsten Plagiarized Schlussel Back in April, Said Politico
By Debbie Schlussel
…There has been much discussion throughout the Net about a secreted video showing Barack Obama at a dinner with terrorists Bill Ayers and wife Bernadine Dohrn, and the anti-Semitic Arafat advisor, Rashid Khalidi.
The Los Angeles Times has a copy of the tape, but won’t release it because they said the source–whom I believe is Arab American Action Network (AAAN) founder and anti-Israel Palestinian activist Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada–required it not be released as a condition of sharing it. That’s because it likely shows Obama applauding an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel poem that was read at the dinner.
But what you may not know is that I started the whole story, and Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Wallsten plagiarized me….
=======
interesting story, complete with ideas and contact info for pressuring people to get the story out.
The Obama File-10.30.08…Reports…”A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs. Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programs will be interrupted.” To Read the Complete Announcement See:http://www.theobamafile.com/ Rumor has it that Hannity and Greta will air 39 minutes of the 54 minute tape. Fact or Fiction…you decide.
^^^yawn^^^^
When are you going to stop spreading this lies? Fox would have had this already on in a heartbeat! Do you think that 4 days away the stuff wouldn’t be on tv? Please!
This is a HOAX. API must be the same people who keep sending emails out telling people they will get 2 million if they just send them their account information.
I don’t for a minute believe the LAT story that they were given the tape by someone on condition that it not be released. That’s just the only defensible rationale they could come up with for the cover-up.
Emphasize the following points:
1. It IS damaging to Obama or they would release it
2. Why would someone give then, in secrecy, a tape with nothing of significance on it?
This very much NOT like the whitey tape. We KNOW this does exist. We know Obama is on it. We know who was in the audience. This is not a rumor or a theory. This is a verifiable real video that is devastating to Obama nd is therefore being covered up.
If we succeed in spreading that meme the video itself may not be necessary. But I am disappointed nothing popped out this am after hillbuzz was so certain yesterday it would.
Make a bet there was a Muslim prayer at the dinner table. That is a Muslim custom much the same as Christians give thanks at dinner time so it is not a big deal. But I think Obama participated in the prayer and that is why they can’t give it out.
Bill Clinton: Obama’s Not Very Smart
“You know what he did?” Clinton said, heralding Obama’s reaction to the financial crisis. “First he took a little heat for not saying much. I knew what he was doing. He talked to his advisers – he talked to my economic advisers, he called Hillary. He called me. He called Warren Buffet. He called all those people, you know why? Because he knew it was complicated and before he said anything he wanted to understand.”
So it was too complicated for Obama to understand right away, he had to talk to smart people like Bill and…Hillary to make sense of it. The backhanded compliment is fine and delicate art. Bill Clinton is a master of it.
That’s hilarious.
Was this during the FL rally yesterday?
Do the voters not pick up on this?
The man’s a master.
Obama had to call Hillary.
That’s why Bill was there in Florida. Hillary’s gonna need those voters in 2012.
Usually, during this election cycle, I have been too busy fomenting rebellion to analyze too deeply, the story behind the story. Just give me the facts, Ma’am. However, when it comes to anything President Clinton, I search for the hidden agendas. With these comments about BO’s response to the financial ‘crisis,’ he outdid even himself.
Sorry, but Bill Clinton’s backhanded compliments will no longer entertain me!
He has gone over to the other side, and unlike BO, when I’m finished with a person, it’s final!
I just sent an email to the likely source of the tape at
abunimah01@yahoo.com
Subj: release the tape- Obama is not worth it
everyone email, he is sensitive to public image and doesn’t want dirtied by this
took this from http://pumapac.org/ Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.We did this the whole primary and it worked.Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.This is why nothing sticks.The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, so I am now supporting John Mccain.Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.I wish you all well, and goodluck.PS my name is not really sarah. but I am a female and I understand your plight.
Life long Democrat, Nevada resident, voted early, McCain…Not only did I volunteer, caucas, (county Delegate) I invested the max in Hillary’s campaign and then purchaed many t-shirts as way to keep investing…Entire Family of Democrats, California (4), absentee ballots, voted MCCain. We just don’t like Obama! And don’t mention philosphy, values, or policies because Obama does not have any!
Unfortunately Republican Husband, Chief @ a Fire Department, voted Obama…Reason..Palin is stupid! Makes me wonder…He watches and listens to MSM…And swears he’s informed…But…He also believed Hillary was a lesbian…Hillarious…Husband is well educated and brings in six figures…Again makes me wonder! The IAFF did endorse Obama/Biden…So I dance around the fact that his vote was bought and paid for…And yes if you are wondering….It is difficult to live under the same roof with my husband of 10 years!
For some reason I am and have been at peace and believe John MCCain will win and rightfully so…And the reason is is that he was always going to…The best thing that can come from this is that the media lose it’s power to influence…And each indivdual investigates and cross references not just politiicans but everything and anything…the one great thing about the information age…
In another twist to the Khalidi story Obama surrogates try to use the overused strategy of saying McCain did it, too.
Please read:
McCain gave funds to group co-founded by Khalidi
But organization pro-Western, Obama supported professor’s anti-Israel efforts
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79441
This explains clearly the funds contributed by whom and for what purpose.
Demand that news media not allow Obama surrogates to mislead the viewers.There are clear reasons why this is yet another radical association of Obama’s.
In this post 9-11 era, I find it remarkable that a presidential candidate who would not meet the security clearance required to work for the FBI or CIA can actually be given the authority to oversee these agencies.
Although this seems to concern only few Americans, Israelis are taking notice, and, ironically, an Obama administration will therefore be a lose-lose prospect for Israelis AND Palestinians alike. From his “questionable associations” and choice of foreign policy advisers to statements he’s made over the years, Obama is hardly the honest broker his predecessors have been in furthering diplomacy between Israel and her neighbors. Where there is no trust there can be no candor, and the unfortunate but inevitable consequence of this will be detrimental to U.S.-Israel relations in general and the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in particular – not to mention the growing tensions with Iran.
Anyone who thinks that stability in the Middle East has no bearing on his or her safety and economic well-being should think again.
It can only be concluded that the tape is so damaging to Obama, to the effect that it would seriously hurt his prospects of winning the election, that this information must be true, and treated as being factual. Threfore it must be used to assess his character and qualifications to be President. Simply put, don’t vote for this fraud, and urge anybody you can to do the same.
Another thought just ocurred to me. If Obama does win, and given the fact that America has allways supported, protected, and given tentative approval to Israel’s actions, he will no doubt turn his back on them. They will then have to decide their own fate, which translates to either a preemptive or retaliatory strike against Iran. Ergo, the possibility of the start of WWIII, with compliments from Barak Hussein Obama.
DeeLee – Here’s another point you might want to consider. The hawkish, right wing Likud party – namely, Benjamin Netanyahu – is favored to win Israel’s upcoming elections.
In 1996, when Netanyahu ran and won on the campaign slogan “Peace WITH Security”, he, too, was 47 years old but brought something to that election which Obama does not. Besides his military service as an officer in the Special Ops unit of the IDF and graduate degrees from Harvard and MIT, Netanyahu’s resume included 2 years with the Israeli Embassy in Washington, 4 as Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. and 8 as a member of the Israeli parliament (sorry, no community organizing in this guy’s past).
In short, if (heaven forbid) Obama does win, he’ll be no match for Israel’s PM… or any other nation’s leader, for that matter.
The only true “poll” will be that established when Americans vote this coming Tuesday. And the fairy tale telling us that most people will vote for a close associate of Communists, crooks, racists, and terrorists will just get more shrill as the big day approaches. We’re being told Bobo is inevitable. He’s desperate to take PA to establish a big wow that he hopes will resonate across the West. I heard Blitzer talking about what Palin will do if (translate “when” from old Wolfy) she loses the election. Will she run in ‘12? Just like they did Hillary, who they mused might become majority leader. This makes me absolutely sick!
As for the Khalidi tape: I thought someone on Fox said the newspaper is now under new management or ownership (?) I also thought about what dif would it be if the tape contributor’s name wasn’t revealed. I guess it’s possible that at the time the story was revealed, Bobo’s minions were trying to attract the kind of ilk Khalidi represents. And they just thought American Jews would blindly vote Democratic?! Look, these folks have the world’s highest average IQ! Forget it, Bobo!
RALLY AT SUPREME COURT FOR PHIL BERG!!
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2008 AT 3:00 PM EST
Everyone that can, grab your signs and please be at the steps of the Supreme Court at 3:00 PM this afternoon! The things to go on the signs will be listed below. We need as large a Crowd as we can get to be waiting at the steps of Supreme Court for Mr. Berg, the person meeting him at the Train Station as well as Will Bower who will be there to accompany him there. Fox News will also be at the Train Station and will follow them all the way to the Supreme Court, filming everything.
Remember to be loud, but RESPECTFUL as this is about having the Supreme Court hear us and grant us what we are asking for, proof that Obama is eligible to run for the Office of President, our Commander In Chief. Chant Speech, Speech, Speech when you see Mr. Berg. He will either speak before he goes into the Court, unless he needs to go in immediately, if so he will speak when we comes out. He will stop and acknowledge everyone that is there and thank you for your support, if he doesn’t have time for a speech right then!!
DO NOT yell anything negative about Obama. You can yell that “Obama needs to show he is eligible”, Why the Secrecy Surrounding Obama”, “Obama Release Certified Copies Of Your Records and Papers” and you can chant over and over “Uphold Our Constitution, Defend it, We The People Demand It”.
SIGNS:
1. McCain Supporters For The Constitution
2. Obama Supporters For The Constitution
3. Uphold And Defend Our Constitution
4. Americans For The Constitution
Just a thought. When did Khalidi live in his neighborhood? If this guy left Chicago in 2003, how old were Obama’s kids? Were they even old enough to go to school at all? How about Ayers? I read he said the same thing there and that Ayers’ kids were actually much older. Doesn’t sound like the whole truth to me….

Great work, again, but people are missing something, something basic. Why is a picture (video) so powerful?
A little noticed phrase in the article that the LA Time DID write about the event.
My suspicion is that is a photo-op moment that Obama would as soon do without.
And, the other obvious question: What else is on that tape that Obama does not want SEEN (rather than heard)?
Who did the Obama’s sit with, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn? Louis Farrakhan?
Did Barack and Michelle applaud or trade fist bumps to comments made by OTHERS?
Reports from those present suggest that he claimed, in his “Toast” that Israel was committing “genocide” against Palestinians. If so, that’s bad enough. But, to show him standing at the podium, uttering those words, while the applause sweeps over him? That is NOT something that, in my opinion, his candidacy could survive.
And, John McCain’s right in his comments, as was Governor Palin. If there was something on that tape that the LATimes wanted seen, it would have been for sale on every street corner in LA for $5 this morning.
Nobody buys their excuse. And, they’re not protecting a source. The one TAKING the video is not ON the video (having done that a few times myself). And, if there was only one person at the event taking video, the people at the event ALREADY KNOW who that was. They don’t have to see the tape to figure it out.
This is so transparent, I can’t believe the LA Times can say it with a straight face. I’m in LA. The smell wafting over from the Times is becoming stronger by the second.
McCain is the chairman of the board of Republican Institute; under his chairmanship, the group has donated over $444,00.00 to Khalidi’s research center.
Yes, this information is correct. Now think of your criticism of Barack in regards to Khalidi. Then think of your preferred candidate McCain, presiding over a Republican group that donated almost half a million dollars to Khalidi.
Do any of your authors or readers do any research?
I believe almost everyone has a skeleton in their closet. The problem with your candidate Obama, is that he has an entire cemetery buried in his backyard or is that still Rezko’s backyard. I forget.
It’s all over for the Obots. The once-predicted 16% defection of Democrats is occurring, and that is FAR more than enough to bury him in a McCain-Palin landslide. Re: the dirty tactics detailed above, here’s a telling indicator:: The AOL Straw Poll (which called the last 3 national elections right) early on had heavy blue/Dem domination of the Electoral College. Then they instituted tighter security, including AIM/AOL registration to vote, thus cutting way back on multiple votes. Since then, the whole country with the exception of DC has shown as RED.
Current EC prediction at http://tinyurl.com/AOLStrawPoll2 is McCain 535, Obama 3 .
That’s not a landslide, that’s an asteroid strike. Democrats = dinosaurs. Say Thanks to Obama on your way into the Extinct File.
Is this working?
Everyone gave up on Phil Berg?
I have the Appeal he filed on my Front Page..

Good thing you guys didn’t sail with Columbus!
Heres an UPdate:
UPDATE, 6:00pm
The rally at the courthouse was attended by about 30 people, Berg said, and coverage of what he called a “news conference” was provided by Fox News and a European news service (the name of which escapes me now). Apparently, the filing may be mentioned on tonight’s Fox Report w/ Shepherd Smith, but nothing is confirmed.
Two America’s Right readers were there, one of which described the coverage as “sadly thin.” The other said it was “nice, but could have been a little bigger.”
Berg was laughed out of court, and nevertheless wants an attending audience on the courthouse steps.
Good luck with that, loser.
Not to worry. I don’t think SCOTUS has a rep for being much impressed by demonstrations or news anchors.
