Speaking of Obama and his radical pro-terrorist buddies, we need to find out if there are more photos and/or video of Obama with pro-PLO radical Edward Said at the 1998 dinner for which Edward Said was the keynote speaker.

We need to try to find a transcript of the 1998 address -- I have been poking around on this site trying to see if it exists:

I imagine that Edward Said gave a very radical anti-Israel talk, since that is why he would have been invited to an Arab-American activist group doing a fundraiser.

How did Obama get CHOSEN (from among all the attendees who must have included eminent academics, popular activists, the cream of left-wing Chicago) to sit in the place of honor next to the night's speaker, Edward Said.

If you think about it, that is an astonishing juxtaposition. Obama was still almost unknown in 1998 - he was a very junior state legislator. He had published his first "memoir" but it had not sold well at all -- he was not yet the best-selling "author" (if indeed he is an "author" at all) or US Senator or Presidential candidate.....

YET, from among all the leftists and pro-jihad activists in the Chicago area he, Barack Obama, was selected to sit next to the guest of honor and keynote speaker.

My hypothesis is that Obama and Said had known each other well since Obama's days at Columbia U. (where Said had been one of the most radical faculty members since the 1970s). I suspect that Obama took courses with Said or at least knew him from "3rd World" and pro-PLO events around campus.

There is just no way that Obama gets picked out of the blue to be seated right next to Edward Said for the big keynote address in 1998. There had to be some major connection(s) behind the scenes.

Article here is what Edward Said wrote right around the same period in 1998. It is how he maligns Israel's 50th Anniversary.

Another hypothesis: I would bet $$$ that Edward Said gave a similar kind of diatribe for his "keynote address" to Obama and the audience. They certainly were not there to hear Said discourse on literary theory. IF we could find proof of Obama's affinities for Edward Said and Rashid Khalidi's radical pro-Palestinian activism that would help to show the falsity of Obama's pretence of 100% support for Israel.

Edward Said is still dead.

Most of the photos of Edward Said in Israel throwing a symbolic stone at the IDF have disappeared from the internet, but I found this small one at Wikipedia:

article above is the kind of anti-Israel propaganda that Edward Said was publishing right around the time he gave his 1998 “keynote address” to the Chicago dinner from which that photo of the Obamas sitting next to the Saids has been posted on other threads......

My hypothesis is that Obama and Said were close, that Said was very likely a mentor of young Obama at Columbia — they were in different departments but student Obama could easily have taken courses and studied with Said, attended “3rd World” and pro-Palestinian events together, etc. That sort of thing happens all the time, especially in the more radical sectors of the student and faculty populations.

No way would the almost unknown Obama have been designated to sit next to Said at that speech unless there was some personal and/or ideological connection. NO WAY.

Our task is to find the connection(s). This may be why Obama’s thesis and transcript from Columbia have been suppressed. This may fill in the picture of Obama and Khalid and Ayers. Said was the grandaddy to all kinds of academic and pro-jihad radicals in the 1980s and 90s.

Edward Said was Obama’s English professor at Columbia and at the same time was a close friend of William Ayers (Who was studying less than a quarter mile away at Bank Street College of Education).

Yup! Obama and Ayers go back to 1982....

Most people have no idea how bad Edward Said was. Said was a member of the PLO until he resigned because Arafat chose negotiations (ie the phased-plan of destruction) over Said's preferred war of national liberation or forced "single State" solutions .
Edward Said was a compulsive liar on Middle Eastern affairs. His most famous lie was the claim that the Hagannah stole his home. http://www.meforum.org/article/191
However, Said's worst crimes are those that would make for poor political advertisements. Said was an intellectual terrorist. A professor of literature at Columbia's Department English and Comparative Literature, Said helped turn that once great department into a PC indoctrination center. He went on to because the president of the Modern Language Association, largely because of his radical politics and his seminal book, Orientalism. This was a tomb of mass destruction, laying the intellectual groundwork for the crippling of US and European anti-Islamist activities. Said radical theory held that the liberal Orientalists, who adored Islam and still apologize for its radicalism, were simply agents of imperialism. Western studies of the Middle East were said to be either intelligence reports for subjugation, or propaganda to justify imperialism. (That the Germans were major Orientalists and never colonized the Middle East never phased the homosexual PC thug.)
The results of this has been to justify the purging of Middle East Studies departments of Orientalists and non-radical or Muslim elements. The result has been that they US was unprepared to deal with Islam. Equally bad, it made the Orientalist apologists for Islam into victims, forming the basis of thier influence in Conservative circles. This is the basis of President Bush's failure to understand the nature of our conflict.

A homosexual Christian Egyptian turned Fannonite liberationist and "Palestinian nationalist", Said has been a one man path of destruction. That he and his protoge, Khalidi were friends of Obama is no surprise. What is surprising is that none of this will phase voters. they just don't get the dangers of the PC left, and cannot fathom what one of these radical professors would do as president.

Well written and compelling — sorry it gives some cranks a problem. I do wish we’d quit trying to go after Obama with the “he’s no friend of Israel” stuff. It’s wasting time and effort we can’t afford to lose with a socialist dictator wannabe ahead less than a week before the election. This conservative couldn’t care less. Jews need Israel like a fish needs a bicycle.
