Obama's Ties to Funding Terrorists

**TOP POST ** SCROLL FOR NEW POSTS AND UPDATES***

Breaking News: More revelations to refute Obama as sweet, unknowing,  ideologue. Considering his history of supporting Arab imperialism and Islamic jihad against Israel, I believe there is a good deal more to this story. He is further tied to Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer.

For those of you unfamiliar with Rhashid Khalidi. Go here.

• Professor of Middle East Studies at Columbia University
• Former PLO operative
• Has justified as legitimate Palestinian “resistance” that results in death of armed Israelis
• Rejects the possibility of a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Khalidi has used his position at Columbia to further inculcate young minds with his anti-Israel, anti-Jewish  historically inaccurate narrative. Remember when Khalidi  said that killing Israeli soldiers is justified during the peace process?

It's hard to forget what Obama said to one "Palestinian" blogger when running for Senator, ""Hey, I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.'

Consider his ties to indicted Rezko, Kenyan Islamist ally Odinga, Iraqi Auchi,  the Black Panther Party, the seditious La Raza,  Farrakhan, and Barack's  spiritual mentor, hate Pastor Wright, his presence on FARC's hardrive ....and then this.

TALK SHOW HOST REVEALS OBAMA CONNECTION TO TERRORISTS News with Views hat tip Dave

A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintain that Barack Obama and former Weather Underground honcho William Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer.

Khalidi serves on the faculty of Columbia University in New York and is best known as the professor who invited Iranian President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University after he finished his speech at the United Nations. According to confidential sources, Khalidi has direct ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a group on the US State Department's list of known terrorist groups.

"One source for this information was once a top military figure in the 1990s. He doesn't take making allegations lightly. If he says something happened, believe me, it happened," said syndicated radio talk show host Laurie Roth.

"Another source is a former agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, who is an expert in counterterrorism," said Roth, who broke the story on her show Friday night.

"I certainly don't want to demonize someone because they are a woman, black or liberal running for President. I love the idea that in our culture, a black and woman can now run. However, it does matter to me with any candidate, their consistency with good judgment, their voting record, their association with people with questionable backgrounds and commitment to our country," she said during her show.

Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago.

Bill Ayers, along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn, was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went "underground" in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group's members including Ayers' girlfriend at the time.

While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged "government legal misconduct." In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home.

During Obama's last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi.

In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.

In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.

According to sources, when the Khalidi's left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.

"What other fund raising connections does Obama have? How many times can you look the other way in church and with fund raising situations with more than questionable people?" asked Ms. Roth.

"We all make mistakes in judgment with people and their backgrounds sometimes, but usually we learn and pick better friends and associates. How come Obama seems to have continued hanging around more than questionable characters with anti American backgrounds and some with criminal behaviors? Now one is being indicted, Tony Rezco, who raised a ton of money for Obama," she said.

"As President, how much would he look the other way when dealing with national security and dangers to our country? How much would he listen passively to terrorist leaders then lecture us on our ugly American status? This kind of change is not what our country needs!" added the popular talk show host, whose show is syndicated by USA Radio Network.

In a related story, during an interview on Thursday morning (March 20) with Black Panther leader Malik Zulu Shabazz, Fox News Channel viewers learned that Shabazz' group endorsed and supported Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. Even on Fox -- an organization wrongly accused of being "conservative" -- the interviewers were careful in their questioning of Shabazz, a recognized racist and anti-American radical.

There is more. Go.

Rashid Khalidi is the guy who gives the whole fake Palestinian narrative the appearance of credibility. His books (ex: "Palestinian Identity") are well-written in style--but not content (!)--and have all sorts of footnotes, not at all like the sloppy, lame pop-crap of other anti-Israel books, such as Jimmy Carter's book. But it's precisely this deceptionn of Khalidi's appearance of being scholarly that makes him more dangerous.

[realdeal]

uhhhhhh, i smell a rat. several infact.
and this ain't a new york sewer either.

or is it?

there is a tremendous educational opportunity here for all americans to learn about the difference between appearance and reality...(that would be high school english class)...and to learn the profound danger of charisma in leadership.

we're dealing with a major presidential contender who is seen by many as inspirational and hope-giving with messy-antic overtones....there was a guy like that in germany not too far back.

blogs and talk radio are the new patriots here, the new muckraking investigative journalists that america and the free world depend on.

but this is nothing new:

look at david hamelech, king david:

G-d rescue my soul from lying lips and a deceitful tongue....i am peace, but when they speak they are for war. (120)

against Your nation they plot deviously (83)

the kings of the earth take their stand and the princes conspire secretly, against HaShem and against His anointed....He who sits in heaven will laugh...(2)

and, tehilim/psalm 3 is the shortest summary of de whole 'ting.

HaShem,how numerous are my tormentors! the great rise up against me! the great say of my soul 'there is no salvation for him from G-d', selah. but You HaShem are a shield for me, for my soul and the One who raises up my head. with my voice i call out to HaShem and He answers me from His holy mountain, selah. i lay down and slept, yet i awoke, for HaShem supports me.i fear not the myriads of poeple deployed against me from every side...rise up H', save me, my G-d, for You struck all of my enemies on the cheek, You broke the teeth of the wicked. salavation is Hashem's, upon Your people is Your blessing, selah.

oppressedbyislam,

the fact that his "book" has verifiable footnotes means we should check them for accuracy. just putting in footnotes does not mean they are true!

[Josef K]

We can help, you are the Emet of the war.

Copy good, good hunting and over and out.

Obama gets a lot of money. Obama's church is non profit. I wonder how much money is being channeled thru that church to Obama.I wonder how much money is coming to that church with sand on it. This church enjoys non profit status along with the mosques that plan the end of western society.

[Always On Watch]

As RISE UP has hinted, the money trail is one key to outing non-profit groups.

Of course, mosques and Obama's church might have two sets of books--common practice when one wants to hide something from the public and/or from IRS.

SO MUCH WRONG WITH OBAMA

Courtesy of poster "bg" over at gatewaypundit.

After what we've learned about O'Bomber, I wonder just how much we don't know, not that what we already do isn't enough to inform us that he shouldn't even be in the Senate, let alone be President.

[Yisrael Medad]

I attended the 1991 Madrid Conference as part of the independent delegation that was supported by the Yesha Council of Jewish Communities and while waiting on line to get my journalist's credentials to get into the main hall, none other than Rashid Khalidi was on line right in front of me. For a moment we exchanged glances at each other's tags and he went from disgust to trepidation as he read "Yisrael Medad, COUNTERPOINT". My unbloody victory. The Khalidi family is one of the most important in Arab Mandate history together with the Husseinis and Nashashibis.

[realdeal]

to yisrael medad:
your "unbloody victory" is a fine example of what david hamelech says, and what the torah says...when the enemies of israel simply see us, when they see the real connection to torat HaShem...they melt.

What about the Fourteenth Amendment Section 3. "No one shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Could this be applicable to Obama?
