Awesome vid clip! The Obama camp has already tried to spin that one away. Since they couldn’t just call him a racist liar, the Obamatrons got Mr. Sutton’s family to claim that he was not mentally competent, so what he said is unreliable, and therefore untrue. He seemed pretty competent to me! And has a better memory than I do, too. The Obama people are absolutely shameless to a degree that we are not able to comprehend. Let The People watch and decide for themselves!
Mr. Sutton is an extremely accomplished man: he is an attorney who represented Malcolm X, held several public offices, and was the founder of a broadcasting empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Sutton
The co-founder of Inner City Broadcasting is New York media
mogul Percy Sutton, best known as Malcolm X's lawyer and
former Manhattan borough council president. Sutton helped
bail Sharpton out after Sharpton was ordered to pay former
Dutchess County prosecutor Steven Pagones over the Tawana
Brawley race hoax. Sutton also raised and donated money for
Sharpton's 2004 presidential bid. Sharpton still broadcasts
a Sunday radio show on WLIB. Sutton and Jackson are
longtime friends and partners. Sutton served as Jackson's
1988 presidential campaign finance chairman. Jackson has
lobbied on Sutton's behalf. Sutton sits on Jackson's
Citizenship Education Fund. As original investors, Jackson
and his wife reportedly hold more than 23,000 shares in
Inner City Broadcasting.
“The list just keeps getting bigger by the day.”

...Sutton gladly did so. Unclear in the interview is whether Sutton intervened to get Obama in to Harvard, to get him elected president of the law review, or both.
Khalid al-Mansour is a piece of work. Although impressively well connected, the Texan-born attorney and black separatist has not met the paranoid racial fantasy unworthy of his energy.
His many books include titles like The Destruction of Western Civilization as Seen Through Islam and Will the West Rule Forever?
Several of his speeches can be seen on YouTube. In one named, “A Little On the History of Jews,” he shares his distinctive insights into the creation of Israel.
Khalid al-Mansour: “A Little of the History of Jews” (5:42)
“God gave you nothing,” al Mansour says to the world’s Ashkenazi Jews in a typical rant. “The children from Poland and Russia were promised nothing. But they are stealing the land the same as the Christians stole the lands from the Indians in America.”
No matter how many books he has written, al Mansour himself lacks the talent to have written Dreams from My Father. He was, however, one of many people in Obama’s network with enough money and influence to get the book written and published.
That network includes the inevitable Tony Rezko. The Syrian-born scalawag owed his bank account and his clout in Chicago politics to Jabir Herbert Muhammad, son of Nation of Islam founder, Elijah Muhammad.
Barack Obama and Tony Rezko
The younger Muhammad knew something about bogus memoirs. In the mid-1970s he recruited the now celebrated writer Toni Morrison to “edit” Muhammad Ali’s fictionalized account of his life, The Greatest. Muhammad reviewed every page to make sure it hewed to the Nation’s racist worldview.
Muhammad made Rezko general manager of his company, Crucial Concessions, in 1983. Muhammad later created the Muhammad Ali Foundation to spread Islam and appointed his confidante Rezko executive director.
Just last week, Muhammad died in Chicago. “Jabir did much for the cause of Islam,” said the keynote speaker, none other than Louis Farrakhan.
Much has been made of Rezko’s Catholic background. The question has to be asked how could he possibly head a foundation whose express purpose was to promote Islam around the world, let alone the racist Islamic cult, the Nation of Islam.
Khalid al-Mansour had other friends of influence in the literary and publishing world, foremost among them the late, literary leftist superstar and terrorist suck-up, Edward Said.
Said and Obama knew each other. A photo floating around the blogosphere shows the pair engaged in intimate discussion at an Arab American community dinner in Chicago 1998.
Bloggers ask how a then obscure state senator managed to wangle a seat next to the evening’s keynote speaker, a man that the Nation would describe as “probably the best-known intellectual in the world.”
The answer can be traced back to Obama’s two-year stint at Columbia University in the early 1980s, where Said taught as a distinguished professor of comparative literature.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Obama took at least one course from Said. The intimacy of their 1998 conversation suggests a deeper relationship.
Obama in conversation with Edward Said
Obama, however, will not talk at all about Said, his New York years or his trip to Pakistan during those years despite numerous requests from The New York Times.
Like Obama, Said made his deracinated childhood the central, compelling metaphor for his significant life work. His identity as a Palestinian and a refugee, driven from his homeland by Israeli violence, would inform everything he wrote.
Said did not shy from using his grief and his influence to advance his cause. For fourteen years, he served on the Palestine National Conference, a kind of Parliament-in-exile alongside the likes of the PLO’s Yassir Arafat and still harder core radicals from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the terrorist group that hijacked the Achille Lauro.
Unfortunately for Said, an Israeli scholar named Justus Reid Weiner did two years of hard-nosed, boots-on-the-ground background research on Said’s life and published his findings in Commentary.
Weiner had proved beyond all doubt that America’s most celebrated Palestinian refugee was not a Palestinian or a refugee, let alone a Muslim.
In reality, Said was a Christian and an American citizen from birth, who grew up not in Palestine but in Cairo where he attended the best British schools before leaving for a pricey American prep school as a teenager.
Although the New York Times reluctantly confirmed Weiner’s findings, the major media had no more interest in exposing the fraud of Said’s life anymore than they do Muhammad Ali’s or Obama’s.
Among Said’s friends and allies on the American-hating, Arafat-loving left were none other than Khalid al-Mansour and—drum roll, please—William Ayers.
Radical turned actor Peter Coyote suggests as much in his diary written for the 1996 Democratic National Convention.
“After that,” Coyote writes, “I inform Martha that I’m dragging her to the apartment of old friends, ex-Weathermen, Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, hosting a party for Senator Leahy. Perhaps Edward Said will be there.”
When Ayers published his memoir Fugitive Days in 2001—the book that made “unrepentant” part of our everyday vocabulary—Said was happy to provide a blurb.
Do we know enough about Bill Ayers and Barack Obama?
“For anyone who cares about the sorry mess we are in,” Said wrote, “this book is essential, indeed necessary reading.”
America is poised to elect a man to the presidency whose known mentors and sponsors—al Mansour, Rezko, Said, Wright, Ayers—put a lie to just about everything Obama has said on the campaign trail.
A sorry mess indeed!

“...Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.
He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.
“I entirely reject that statement,” Giuliani said. “There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”
Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.
He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.
The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.
Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.
He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.
He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment...
Yep, it seems like the Rats would respect that of one of their own, but the Obama camp threw him under the bus the first chance they got. I think ANY American that actually sees the clip will realise that Mr. Sutton is completely competent, and well in control of his senses, and that the Obamatrons are dispicable shameless liars with no respect for anyone or anything. Keep it out there!
Obama and Khalid Mansour
