http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31688_LA_Times_Hiding_Incriminating_Video_of_Obama_with_Radical_Palestinian_Update-_Ayers_and_Dohrn_Attended_Khalidi_Party_with_Obama

I know some of you will not like for this but i thought this was interesting too.

I guess election is just around the corner.

Obama will win the election in my opinion and whatever the video shows, I don't think L.A. Times will release it.  They've had this video since April.

Maybe after the election.

this video is getting some attention.

McCain wants to see it!



Wow like this is shocking... Obama in connection with a bunch of radicals, can they ever come up with something new. Just because a guy hangs out with a bunch of crazies all the time does not mean he is a radical or has poor judgement... sigh, when will you evil conservatives ever stop using your carl rove politics.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

So what? Obama attended a party and a radical Palestinian activist was there also? If this is the best October surprise the McCain campaign can come up with, they might just want to concede now.

maybe you are right and McCain is getting desperate.  I thought he was desperate when he chose Palin.

If it's no big deal, then let's see the video to see and hear what the event was like.

I would think if Palin was there, people will make a huge deal out of it.

At this point in time Barack Obama having associations with radicals is not really news ... What makes this story more interesting is that it appears that the LA Times are trying to cover it up.

I do wonder what would happen if this story becomes (much) more widespread. I personally expect that the "Cover Up" would make a lot of people assume the worst about it, and as a result something that was innocent could become a major issue in their mind.

L.A. Times is in a pickle.  They said that they promised not to show the video to the provider.

But they are getting thousands of emails of complaints.

I've never backed L.A. Times before, but i feel bad for them.

This story will get bigger because general public will want to see the video. 

I want to see it - just because I can't see it.

 



In other news, we are in a recession and the US arguably has the worst reputation its ever had since the country was founded.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

what are you kidding me?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/29/mccain-pushes-obama-connection-to-khalidi/

The paper was the first to report on the relationship between Obama and Khalidi in an April 2008 story — titled “Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama” — about the Illinois senator’s ties with the Palestinian and Jewish communities in Chicago and detailed the 2003 event, which was a farewell dinner for Khalidi, who was leaving Chicago to take a job in New York.

"The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it," said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton.

 

The LA times were the first to publish the news about it and nobody cared. Yet, somehow at the end of the campaign, McCain raises it up now. Not to mention this:

"And while McCain might not have known Khalidi personally, he has ties to the Palestinian as well. During the 1990s, while McCain served as chairman of the International Republican Institute, the group gave grant money to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi."

 

Also your characterization of him as a radical is an opinion. A Palestinian that opposes the policy's of Israel? Shocker.



I am unsure as to why the LA Times decided not to show the video. Perhaps they thought it was not worth releasing? If they withheld it to shield Obama...that was an unwise move. The video itself should be an issue of little concern. Unfortunately, the LA Times is making it an issue.

^ Well, that explains it.
