MSM Witholds Video of Obama Toasting Former PLO Operative at Jew Bashing Dinner
Posted on October 25, 2008
Gateway Pundit has the scoop and what I summarize here is lifted from him.
First, get to know the character we are discussing. Here is a video that explains his history and ties with Obama. He is a long time friend of Obama and shares a mutual friend, Bill Ayers.
Barack Obama funnelled thousands of dollars of cash to Rashidi’s anti-Israel Foundation through his work on the Woods Fund.
In 2000, Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative who justified Palestinian terrorism as contributing to “political enlightenment,” threw a fundraiser for his friend Barack Obama.
Now that you have the background of this radical, here are some summary points of Gateway Pundit’s report on the media willfully withholding video evidence of Obama praising him while attending a Jew bash.
LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama’s close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April.
“During the dinner 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.”
….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.”
…The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.
Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit) talked to Peter Wallsten from the Los Angeles Times about the article on Obama and Khalidi on Wednesday.
I asked him if he was planning on releasing this video of Obama toasting the radical Khalidi at this Jew-bash. He told me he was not releasing the video. He also would not comment on his source for the video. Wallston also said he did not know if Khalidi’s good friend Bill Ayers was at the event or not.
So, the LA Times has video of Obama attending a Jew bash and toasting a radical former PLO operative, and they are not sharing it with the public. I think we all know they would immediately release the tape if it were Sarah Palin making the toast.
Also see Michelle Malkin.
Update: William Ayers was at the Jew bas too!
In Chicago, the Khalidis founded the Arab American Action Network, and Mona Khalidi served as its president. A big farewell dinner was held in their honor by AAAN with a commemorative book filled with testimonials from their friends and political allies. These included the left wing anti-war group Not In My Name, the Electronic Intifada, and the ex-Weatherman domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. (There were also testimonials from then-state Senator Barack Obama and the mayor of Chicago.)

Send this to the drudge report. Needs to get on the front page.
this needs to get out.
Rashid Khalidi held a fundraiser at his house in 2003 for Sen. Obama’s campaign; the next year he encouraged Palestinian Americans to help Obama in his Senate race, observing “You will not have a better senator under any circumstances”. Two years earlier, Sen. Obama, while on the board of the Woods Fund, made a $75,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, co-founded by Khalidi. At least part of this was used to put on a Palestinian “art” exhibit about the “catastrophe” of Israel’s founding in 1948. Khalidi worked on behalf of the PLO while it was labeled by the State Department as a terrorist group, regards Israel as a “racist” “apartheid” state, and is said to reported to support Palestinian terrorism against Israeli targets.

Disgusting. Obama’s an anti-semite pinhead.
Stop saying the MSM! People are the ones who betray their journalistic ethics, not a faceless organization like the “MSM”. If Peter Wallsten was the guy who is holding this back, your headline should be Peter Wallsten of the LA Times withholds Obama video. Saying the MSM did it is pointless.
Because of a shortage of thousand-pound bombs, old Composition B bombs had been loaded from the ammunition ship USS Diamond Head, instead of safer H6, capable of withstanding high heat or exploding with low order. About 10:50 (local time), a Zuni rocket fired from an F-4 Phantom II by an electrical power surge hit an A-4 Skyhawk getting ready to launch, piloted by Lt. Cmdr. John McCain. The missile struck and knocked off the aircraft’s fuel tank and started a fire. With his aircraft surrounded by flames, John McCain escaped from his jet by climbing out of the *censored*pit, walking down the nose, and jumping off the refueling probe. Video tape shot aboard the Forrestal shows McCain narrowly escaping the explosion[1].
One minute and thirty-four seconds after the impact, the “Comp. B” bomb exploded underneath McCain’s plane, starting a major fire which threatened to destroy the ship. The two A-4s ahead of McCain’s plane were engulfed in the flaming JP-5 jet fuel spewing from them. A bomb dropped to the deck, rolled about 6 feet (2 m) and came to rest in a pool of burning fuel.

“SHIPMATES”
This is why early voting should be terminated. In the final days of the campaign, I truly believe more and more dirt will surface. All those idiots that are racing to the polls to vote for a wolf in sheeps clothing, need to be stopped. Election day is Nov. 4th. This video should be released IMMEDIATELY.

The Barack Obama Song!
.
Sung to the tune of
“That’s Entertainment!”
.
Tax -
We just can’t pay enough
And the facts -
We don’t hear for the fluff
Just relax -
Give the poor all your stuff!
.
That’s Barack – tainment!
.
Cash -
Uncle Sam wants it all
Hear the crash -
As the stock market falls
In a flash -
Your tax bill will grow tall!
.
That’s Barack – tainment!
.
Lazy bums
Will leave you crumbs
So we all have the same,
.
It’s only fair
That we all share
What work made you gain,
If you complain
You’re insane,
.
Give all to the needy -
Or are you just greedy!
.
Poor -
We must all be that way
To have more -
Is a sin so they say
Just ignore -
The Constitution and pray,
.
You still have a job,
To pay lazy slobs
.
That’s Barack – tainment!
.
