All right...I admit it, you were right and I was wrong.
I just can't seem to stop myself for some reason. {;^)

Obama to AIPAC: I make no apologies for pursuing peace... -Translation = makes no apologies to 'The Jews'.

*******

2008 videotape of Obama at Muslim dinner: Have we forgotten that controversial videotape of Obama at a Muslim dinner that was talked about during the 2008 presidential campaign and that the LA Times has in its possession but won't release to the public?

1. As I understand it, some of Obama's speech at the Muslim dinner leaked out, and Obama supposedly said some questionable things against Jews and Israel.

2. But at the time, LA Times officials---under tremendous pressure from the public---said that they would not release it to the public, because they said that they promised the owner that they would not release the videotape or his name unless the owner said it was alright.

3. As I recall, the owner supposedly told the LA Times that he would not let them see it unless they promised not to release it to the public.

4. To this day, it seems that the owner has not given his permission to LA Times to release the damaging videotape of Obama at the Muslim dinner.

5. My question is this: What right did LA Times have to make such a terrible promise in the first place?

6. I thought that newspaper people were morally obliged to seek the truth wherever the trail might lead, good or bad.

7. My point is this: LA Times officials had no right to promise the owner that it would not release the videotape if he would let them look at it.

8. I say this: We the public should put continuous tremendous pressure on LA Times officials until they see the error of their ways and release the videotape.

9. As I recall, LA Times gave a bizarre reason why they were not releasing the videotape to the public that went something like this: The release of the videotape of Obama talking about Jews and Israel at the Muslim dinner might influence the presidential elections in an unwanted negative way, and by negative way, the LA Times was referring to possibly affecting Obama's campaign in a negative way.

10. Again, I say that LA Times officials abandoned their moral duty as newspaper people when they refused to release the videotape of Obama speaking at the Muslim dinner.

11. Who do LA Times officials think they are when they suddenly take the high moral road and dare to tell us the public what is good or bad for us to read or see?

12. The LA Times should stop trying to play God, and they should release the Obama videotape so that we the public can decide for ourselves if we approve or disapprove of what is on the Obama Muslim dinner videotape.

13. LA Times: Stick to reporting the news and stay out of the area of what is moral or not moral.

14. If Obama said something at the Muslim dinner that might cause him to lose votes and the support of the Jewish community, then so be it. Obama will have only himself to blame for what happens, because nobody forced him to say critical things about Jews and Israel at that Muslim dinner.
