Ok . I hope you are right. But . you know what i’m saying..
At this point, who cares what's on them, the highlighting of the LA Times blatant bias is what will get the attention. People know that most MSM hold nothing back when it comes to McCain/Palin, yet they see one more example of the double standard applied to Obama. Over and over again we see stories that shed bad light on the Republicans while glowing reports are shown about "The One", and people do realize this.
So whether the video shows Obama praising the PLO, or shows him condemning them, it doesn't really matter. The point is that it should be up to the American voters to decide if it is important or not, and not the MSM!
Do your really think that MO called some outfit in Africa and yelled at them for 1/2 hour? She’s a marxist, but she’s not that stupid and not that interested in what was printed in some rag in Africa.
Since the LA Times doesn't seem to be budging, Fox likely doesn't have the video.
I would prefer Friday am..when the temple of Owama show is over....why release it when he can use the airtime to refute...Friday better imho
If there was nothing on it, Obama’s camp would not be silent. They would have wanted it to be released.
The fact that McCain/Palin have ignored the other stuff and hammered this is what makes it different.
Over 80 first cousins? Damn, I have 7 and thought that was alot.
My worry is that the LA Times will release the tape tomorrow or Friday, but they will have edited out the damaging parts first. (I’m sure they’ve got some top Hollywood editing staff working on it right now) Then they can say, “See, nothing here folks, sorry”. It’s going to take some time for forensic analysis to prove that it was edited, but by then it will be too late to stop 0bama.

PING
Is this tape we are talking about on this thread or another one?
I hope they bring it out.
This could be really big:
According to one source, this is likely the source:
“The Los Angeles Times has a copy of the tape, but won’t release it because they said the source—whom I believe is Arab American Action Network (AAAN) founder and anti-Israel activist Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada—required it not be released as a condition of sharing it. That’s because it likely shows Obama applauding an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel poem that was read at the dinner”
This blog has done an excellent job of piecing together both the LA Time article and an old NY Sun article mentioning the event in passing in 2005:
http://blog.changeandexperience.com/2008/10/khalidi-tape-putting-bits-and-pieces.html
These are the people who likely attended:
1. Rashid Khalidi (is the main reason this event was held)
2. Arab American Action Network (AAAN, founded by Rashid Khalidi)
3. Barack Obama (who gave a special tribute)
4. Mona Khalidi (Rashid Khalidi’s wife)
5. Local Palestinian Leaders
6. Not In My Name (left wing anti-war group)
7. Ali Abunimah (a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run Electronic Intifada)
8. Bill Ayers (ex-Weatherman domestic terrorist)
9. Bernadine Dohrn (ex-Weatherman domestic terrorist)
10. Gihad Ali, A poet
11. Richard Daley (Mayor of Chicago)
12. The Sanabel Debka dance troupe
bttt
It could, but if the Times is contractually obligated not to release the tape, how can it come to light before the election? A bounty is fine, but the Obama campaign could pay a hundred times what I have seen offered so far.
I doubt the LAT can afford to lose any advertisers since they are probably laying off people to stay alive. This might be the only way to get them to release the tape.
