Thomas Lifson, editor at American Thinker, reported late Sunday on the death of Percy Sutton, a Tuskegee Airman who went on to become a civil rights attorney, prominent business owner and president of the New York City borough of Manhattan. In his piece, he reported that The New York Times had missed the boat when writing their own versions of Percy's obituary.

Thomas Lifson, editor at American Thinker, reported late Sunday on the death of Percy Sutton, a Tuskegee Airman who went on to become a civil rights attorney, prominent business owner and president of the New York City borough of Manhattan. In his piece, he reported that The New York Times had missed the boat when writing their own versions of Percy's obituary.

To be precise, the Times -- and most other media outlets -- focused on the fact that Sutton had represented Malcolm X in the early '60s. In doing so, they missed mentioning what Sutton told the audience of New York City's all-news channel, NY1, in 2008 -- that Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour, a wealthy Muslim businessman from Texas, had paid Barack Obama's bills to attend Harvard. It's all in the this video

Wondering how the "brain" got into Harvard...since he appears dumber than a rock. His coke fests are proof of his utter stupidity.

Is Mansour mentioned in any of his books?

“However, one of Sutton's most notable moments is absent from the media hagiographies I have seen: he stated on television that he knew that an Islamic supremacist, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and advisor to a wealthy Saudi, had paid for Barack Obama’s education at Harvard Law School.”

Anyone can get into Harvard when you pay full price.

Obama takes the cliche of “Sh*t for brains” to a lower level than I though imaginable.

Not only did Mansour pay O’s way, but Sutton wrote him a letter of recommendation to Harvard. That’s how a nonentity like him gets in.

That wealthy Saudi is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. The same guy that Rudy refused to accept millions from after 9/11.

FYI... video will not load. I will try it again later, but for now all I get is a white screen.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Thanks!

Obama is easily bought off.

We need to brace ourselves for a devastating attack.

While our morons, that claim to represent us, are whisked away to safety, the sheeple will bear the brunt of it.
