Video of farewell party for alleged PLO worker shows Obama toasting 'friend and dinner companion' with questionable past.

The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and '80s.

McCain's camp has released a comment regarding LA Times refusing to release the tape.

Can't give you a direct quote but it was pretty scathing.

[gridlock]

Why aren’t American Jews hopping mad?

Because if they don't see it on their TV screens, it didn't happen.

[Dog]

Mornin babe...tonight we celebrate a world championship.

[jedgarlives]

Where is the ACLU suing under the Freedom of Information Act because the people have a right to know? Oh, I guess that only applies to forcing the government to release classified information that can help our enemies.

[mware]

Morning Jim.

Want to bet that Obama loses poll numbers if he delays the ballgame.

[seoul62]

Blast on loudspeakers towards their headquarters, the Editor and the owner of the company: a tape complication of Barney “the fug” Frank speaking, Roseanne Barr singing the national anthem and to top it off Yoko singing. If that is not enough for anyone to give it up, further suggestions gladly accepted./Just Asking - seoul62........

There is another thread as well:

Something was said on F&F this am. LA Times said they had run the story and the guy then gave them the video but they had to promise never to show it.

So, either that is the only one, OR they are trying to steer uss off of one that does exist.

It makes no sense to me that they would give them a video then tell them they can’t show it.

Another thing, didn’t this dinner happen in Chicago? Why would LA Times have the tape?

Grrrrrrrrrr these creeps!

Sounds like maybe another copy exists.... Freeper call to action. Can anyone dig this up?

[savedbygrace]

Brit briefly talked about this on Special Report last night.

[William_The _Mechanic]

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama is currently hiding his anti-Israel views in order to get elected, according to a well-known anti-Israel activist. The activist, Ali Abunimah, claimed to know Obama well and to have met him on numerous occasions at pro-Palestinian events in Chicago.

Actually, when you think about it, the more the LAT talks about not releasing the tape the more Jewish voters will hear about it and the angrier they will get.

[DocT111]

Wouldn’t it be great if that tape was able to be played after the 30 minute informercial???? Wishful thinking I suppose...

[HarleyD]

Why aren’t American Jews hopping mad?

Someday they will be but by then it will be too late.

[A2J]

Why aren’t American Jews hopping mad?

Because they value their money (i.e., businesses) over their relatives back home.

To hell with them.
