Palin resorts to gutter politics as she continues making incendiary comments about Obama to stir up fear and hate. She has nothing substantive to say, because she knows so little and reads so little. The McCain and Palin campaigns have significantly underestimated the intelligence of the majority of the American public.

It is a shame that this has been an issue since the LA Times initial report in April 08 and the MSM has set on their hands on this. Now in America we have to have other candidates and the American voters vet the candidates. What a shame.

If you live in CA and want to attend FreedomMarch.org is marching on the LA Times, Thursday October 30, 2008 at 10:00 AM, if it does not release the Rashid Khalidi video of Obama.

Go to this website and sign-up.

If this were a tape damaging to the Clintons or Palin, I bet it would leak real quick!

Why is it that everytime the Republicans ask a question about Obama''s background it is smears and slime? The press and the Democrats have taken Sarah Palin and picked her apart piece by piece. Oh thats not smears and slime though it is just the Republicans, they dont matter. Whats good for Republicans is good for Democrats, get used to it. If he dont have anything to hide then let him answer the question. If he does have something to hide then we dont want him in the White House.

I think I''ll buy a subscription for myself, family member and friends. Please, you fear mongering ignoramuses.

Obama went to a dinner for Khalidi.

McCain funded Khalidi.

BIG difference.

During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi''s Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (There is a pdf available on the web - Google it and see grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14.)

The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January.

Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi''s group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

Just sent this to the LA Times (feel free to copy/paste and send an email to LA Times also!!!)
*********
Dear Mr. Wallsten:

In light of the video tape in the possession of the Los Angeles Times purportedly showing Barack Husein Obama at a social event in honor of Prof. Khalidi, I find it reprehensible and disturbing that a media company, who is solely in the business to report to the public the news stories of interest to said public, is choosing to withhold such an important journalistic opportunity to inform Americans at this crucial time what may affect the outcome of THE most important election - the election of the President of the United States.

How can Los Angeles Times consider themselves reputable after hiding this information? Is it any wonder that the Los Angeles Times has lost a great deal of readership and has had to succumb by laying off employees? I was once a proud reader of the Times. We have canceled our subscription and are encouraging others who were not aware of the Los Angeles Times'' position of allowing Barack Obama to continue hiding from the American public.

Shame on the LA Times. You had a great opportunity to do what is right, but have chosen the wrong path.

MikeAnt50 is a nutjob and his comment proves his stupidity.

Here''s a very small portion of what''s on that tape according to sources: Obama said , "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" plus there''s been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis." This tape needs to be released immediately for National Security reasons. Obama has been hiding behind the liberal media too long and now we are at critical stage. Dune Capital has offered a reward of over $150,000 for anyone who can give them this tape. Dune will release it to all media sources to be aired to the American people immediately. They feel it is the right of the American people to have 100% disclosure of potential elected officials. I agree. Obama talks about transparency, yet when it comes to his background, he is the LEAST transparent. Shame on the liberal media for helping him hide from Americans.

McCain has not accused Khalidi of terrorism. I just read some of the comments and am shocked how so many Obama supporters can continue to twist and spin in light of the MSM being exposed for THEIR participation in the twist and spin. This is ridiculous.
