No real shocker here, but the Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a video they possess of a large sendoff for PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi, Barack Obama’s colleague at the University of Chicago, before his departure for Columbia University in New York in 2003. The Times is saying they promised a “confidential source” not to release the tape. McCain is now demanding the release of the tape. If he had been at a KKK rally, or hanging out with terrorists, you can bet the tape would be running 24/7.
Obama was front and center at the banquet, fondly recounting his good times with the outspoken hater of Israel and his wife Mona. (Researchers into the matter have discovered that the Khalidis BABYSAT for Barack and Michelle’s girls.) Obama recounted the joy of the many meals he and Michelle had shared with the Khalidis in their home. Bill Ayers was there, with Weather Underground wife Bernadine Dohrn.
There is a thread that runs through many of Obama’s troubling close relationships, and it is the thread of corrupt Chicago politics. Tony Rezko- Chicago’s Tony Soprano, Ayers, Jeremiah Wright are just a few of the many far left players in Chicago’s political machine. The Palestinian cause and vote were very important for Obama’s election to the Illinois State Senate, as they are now for the radicals who are the high-level fuel for his Presidential campaign. Obama can talk, talk, talk about being a “friend” to Israel, but actions and close friendships speak a hell of a lot louder than words.
The Times did do a softball writeup on the banquet in April. They conveniently left OUT the Ayers’ attendance, abd the fact that the event was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), which had been founded by Khalidi and his wife, Mona, formerly a top English translator for Arafat’s press agency. The Times couldn’t cloud EVERYTHING in their story, however, as there would be nothing left to write about.
