CLICK LINK below to watch the Khalidi video ..... Dan writes, "Making the rounds in the new media this morning, an
alleged eyewitness account of the Obama-Khalidi video the LA Times doesn't want
America (especially Jews) to see.
As the Obamamedia would say, it's thinly sourced. Sorry
guys, stop manufacturing vacuums and nature won't have to fill 'em.
Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can't release it
is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He
congratulates Khalidi for his work saying "Israel has no God-given right to
occupy Palestine" plus there's been "genocide against the Palestinian
people by Israelis."
Judge for
yourself. Click
here. (Lots of
other juicy links to follow too.)
RELATED (Another tape they
don't want you to see)
Exit question: Assuming even a very small
fraction of all this dirt is true, do we really want to put the fate of our
country in this guy's hands?"
As I pointed out in a previous post, the HuffPo and Oelberjerk lie, that McCain also gave money to Khalidi, can easily be shown for the spew they are...
(1) - Here's the debunking of the scum from FREE REPUBLIC
(2) - With the link to the IRI website that explains the whole thing.
"October 29, 2008
In the 1990s, IRI gave grants to the Center for Palestinian Research and Studies (CPRS) for polling in the West Bank/Gaza. The polls measured support for the peace process, for various Palestinian political groups, and for efforts to enhance governance in the West Bank/Gaza. At that time no other organization could credibly conduct polling in the West Bank/Gaza.
We understand that Rashid Khalidi was one of the many founders of CPRS, and we understand that he was for some (unclear) amount of time a board member. IRI did not in the 1990s conduct background checks of grantees founders or board members. IRI did on a number of occasions vet CPRS as an organization, including, as was our custom, with the Israeli government, and we were given no cause for concern.
We do not recall any contact between Mr. Khalidi and IRI, and there is no evidence that Mr. Khalidi benefitted in any way from IRI's grants.
Other organizations that reportedly gave funding to CPRS include the National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. Chamber of Commerces Center for International Private Enterprise, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the Japanese Embassy, and Germanys Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.
IRIs relationship with CPRS ended in 2000, and we understand that it no longer exists."
And though the LA-jazeerah Times may not be releasing the tape, here's what they reported in their rag.

i would be hugely surprised were the l.a. times to release it prior to the election. which means, of course, that in their estimation it contains information hugely damaging to obama. too bad it was not realized earlier the significance of the whole thing. they have no legal ground of privileged communication to stand on, having waived any claim they might have had by publishing and writing on it earlier, and the decision to withhold the matter from public scrutiny and examination is based purely on partisan motive.
...............................
the media should no longer be regarded as sacrosanct.
journalistic objectivity and integrity earned the media a "hands off" status, and kept the media largely immune from the rough and tumble of political practice, and, social upheaval and violence most of the 20th century.
that was not always the case. newspaper editors of yore were no strangers to being ridden out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered, to watching their press rooms destroyed, and were even subject to murder and assassination. this was because in the 18th & 19th centuries newspapers and newspapermen were actively engaged in partisan politics, and enjoyed no immunity from its passions and violence, enjoyed no special status removed from the involvment of the rest of the community in those passions.
the removal of the "profession" (i prefer trade, regarding the newspaper reporter as a stripe below a good auto mechanic, someone more akin to an "oil can henry's" tech) from such violence was largely a product of the development of fair and objective reporting.
there is no such thing anymore, at any level in the mass media.
as a consequence, i think that you will find that institutions such as the los angeles times, the new york times, and the washington post, removed as they are from a detached and objective view of things, and a reportage derivitive of that stance, will find themselves under the sway of popular passion, no longer immune from the political fray. that is because, quite frankly, they have put themselves right back into by their partisanship, and by their attempt to impose a social agenda upon the populace.
editors, reporters, pressmen and others, will taste again the sting of the riot, of arson fires, and an ocassional lynching. they will deserve it, in the sense, that they have immersed themselves once again in popular passion.
we should get used to the notion.
quite frankly, if and when the los angeles times releases the tape, and they will, right after the election, ... , they will quite rightly become subject to a firestorm of passion, if the tape shows attitudes and speech by mr. obama which might have rightfully impacted the outcome of the election.
the times will have no one to blame, save themselves. if you cannot stand the heat of the kitchen, you should stay out of the kitchen. the times has been cooking leftist socialism in their[s] for so long, they have no claim to ignorance of this basic fact.
...............................
they have become political hacks, the msm, ... , just a "smart" version of tire slashing, club wielding, shot gun toting union goons, only with a lot longer reach for their perfidy, and since the left has embraced the tactic of physical intimidation all over the world to impose its views, the ocassional assassination of conservative and jewish commentators evidence of the same, ... , the leftist msm deserves what it gets.
are we on the verge of anarchy with such views? oh, my goodness yes.
are we on the verge of simply being rolled over and tossed into the garbage can without such views? oh, my goodness yes.
wake up friends, smell the roses, and enjoy the roses. for springtime is aborning.
.................
