Obama Grilled on Ties to Pro-Palestinian Professor by FOXNews.com Thursday, May 22, 2008
A persistent questioner at a campaign stop Thursday grilled Barack Obama on his ties to a professor with pro-Palestinian views, prompting Obama to speak at some length against “guilt by association” and about his support for the Jewish community.
The at-times heated exchange occurred during a town hall event held at a synagogue in Boca Raton, Fla. The questioner focused on Obama’s relationship to Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Arab studies at Columbia University who has drawn fire for some of his criticisms of Israel.
Obama responded by saying he has met Khalidi and spoken with him in an academic context, when Obama was teaching at the University of Chicago.
“He is not one of my advisers. He’s not one of my foreign policy people,” Obama said. “He is a respected scholar, although he vehemently disagrees with a lot of Israel’s policy.”
Obama then objected to the suggestion that his contacts with Khalidi mean he shares Khalidi’s views.
“Part of my philosophy … is I believe in listening to people even when I disagree with them,” Obama said. “And part of the reason that the Jewish community in Chicago is so close to me is because they know that on many occasions I’ve spoken out vigorously against anti-Semitism, even in my own community, even when it’s not convenient.

Nice work.
OLA
You give me an idea with all those names. I’m going to put my computer skills to work. Something called an ERD.
What a phony and fraud.
“Part of my philosophy … is I believe in listening to people even when I disagree with them,” Obama said.
Unless, of course, they’re those bitter, religion-and-gun-clinging folks who are so beneath him.
We don’t need more Palestinian lovers. They have no export but terrorism. These are a diseased people and they need a date with destiny, not supplication.
That is why I am still hoping that he'll lose the nomination, because its the only way to remove any chance for him to win in November. Obama is simply to dangerous to risk it.

Please do an ERD, I don't know how to do it but it is a great Idea!
ERD= Entity Relationship Diagram
Great Idea!
Well he threw his Pastor (like a father to me, Crazy Uncle type) and (Typical White Grandma) under the bus, why not throw Israel under the bus? He cares nothing for Israel! He is a MUSLIM!
I read somewhere, that most of what you believe is instilled in you before you reach the age of 11. He was a Muslim until he became a Church of Jesus Christ wannabe in the early nineties. I fear this Halfrican moron, more than I fear rattle snakes, at least a rattlesnake lets you know they are there, and what they are.
HISSSS, RATTLE,RATTLE, RATTLE
Good work, op

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
Boca, the Buckle of the Bagel Belt (hi mom and dad!).
My parent's next door neighbor was there yesterday. I should get an update, via my (gentile minority) parents, tonight.
It actually started out short but it just keeps growing & growing!.
"That's guilt by association! McCarthyism! It's the politics of personal destruction! It's 'going negative' and distracting us from the Real Issues, like Change and Hope and Hope for Change!"
OK, that's enough. Any more and I'll start oozing brain cells out my ears.
I must confess I had to look it up, but, having done so, an Entity-Relationship Diagram would be great!. Please keep me informed on your work. Thanks.
Off Topic, but in the words of Ben Franklin...
“I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids. She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shown and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal. Conscious of this, she never wounds ‘till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.
Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?”

I downloaded the trial version of SmartDraw from the Web, but it’s only good for 1 week. I’ll probably switch to free software when I find it. :-)
