WITH THE presidential campaign clock ticking down, Sen. John McCain has suddenly discovered a new boogeyman to link to Sen. Barack Obama: a sometimes controversial but widely respected Middle East scholar named Rashid Khalidi. In the past couple of days, Mr. McCain and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, have likened Mr. Khalidi, the director of a Middle East institute at Columbia University, to neo-Nazis; called him "a PLO spokesman"; and suggested that the Los Angeles Times is hiding something sinister by refusing to release a videotape of a 2003 dinner in honor of Mr. Khalidi at which Mr. Obama...

As you all know, the Los Angeles Times is holding hostage a tape of Barack Obama at a 2003 Arab American Action Network (AAAN) dinner at which his friends, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn were in attendance.. It's the story I started when Los Angeles Times plagiarist/"reporter" Peter Wallsten ripped off my January column on Barack Obama's Nation of Islam staffers and friendship with AAAN founder Ali Abunimah. Debbie Schlussel But here's what you haven't yet heard: that a kids' dance troupe that appeared at the event has a history of simulating beheadings and stomping on American, Israeli,...

Bad Thoughts   [John Derbyshire]Now here's a subversive little thought about that Khalidi tape that the Los Angeles Times is guarding like a cargo of plutonium. Item:  The Los Angeles Times is owned by the Tribune Co.Item:  The Tribune Co. is based in Chicago.Item:  "In 2008, Tribune is struggling under a $13 billion debt load, much of it incurred in taking the company private in 2007, and from plummeting advertising income at its newspapers." (Wikipedia. A business friend tells me the current figure is actually $14.7 billion.)Item:  Tribune Chairman and CEO Sam Zell is a major Republican donor. Why would...

The LA Times refuses to release the tape showing Obama being toasted by anti-Israel nutjob Rashid Khalidi. Because in a Presidential race centered on Obama's judgment, that's probably not important. Click here to watch the video

Too bad Obama wasn't wearing a pair of expensive Neiman Marcus pumps at the Khalidi dinner; then the tape would be all over the main stream media right?

Rush should offer to donate to Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson Research if the L.A. Times provided him an unedited copy of the Obama-Khalidi tape. How could they - or the source who allegedly wants to keep the tape confidential - refuse? If any Freeper knows how to get in touch with Rush to tell him of this idea, please pass it onward!

Does anybody else have sources about what is on that tape that the LA Times might want to try and disprove?

Sarah Palin was just in Toledo, Ohio this morning and talked about the LA Times protecting Obama by refusing to release the tape it’s holding of him enjoying himself while anti-Semitic comments were made at a dinner honoring Palestinian Rashid Khalidi in 2003. It feels to us like the pump is being primed for something to break on this tomorrow. It also seems like FOX anchors know more about what’s on that tape than humanly possible without actually seeing it. We personally believe tomorrow morning that tape will indeed be released, to steal the thunder of whatever Obama’s doing tonight...

$25,000 Reward For Obama/Ayer/Dohrn/Khalidi Tape. Dirty Harry suggests a benefactor can offer $100,000. Well, I don't know if one will step forward. I can guarantee, though, that if the goods are delivered the blogosphere can contribute $20,000. In a matter of hours. Maybe more. More would depend on the tape. This offer is particularly directed towards Los Angeles Times employees. Maybe ones that just got fired. Or will get fired in the next couple of weeks. Guaranteed. Anonymous. That's how we roll. ..(more at: http://minx.cc/? post=276820 WANTED: $25k REWARD FOR OBAMA/AYERS/KHALIDI TAPE Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 From: http://dirtyharrysplace.com/?p=5289 Anyone else?...

Gov.’s Candid Moments Caught on Audiotape By Robert Salladay September 08, 2006 in print edition A-1 In the sanctuary of his Capitol office with an audio recorder rolling, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger describes Republican legislators as the “wild bunch” and, referring to a Latina lawmaker, casually says that “black blood” mixed with “Latino blood” equals “hot” – a fiery personality. The governor is heard on a six-minute recording, obtained by The Times, of a meeting with some members of his inner circle last spring. At the time, Schwarzenegger was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions...

A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago.

This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter. In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to...

You can believe it or not. I want to believe it, but I have my doubts. Check it out here: Link: Michelle Obama tapes’ imminent release approaching: API in a serious negotiation with FOX NEWS on the best way forward.

The news agency that claimed Michelle Obama called to protest its coverage of WND stories about her husband has published an "open letter" to the potential first lady, suggesting she "confirm that we had a talk because it is the only right thing to do now." The statement from Norway-based African Press International , however, simply heightened the doubts readers have expressed over whether the tape exists and whether the reported conversation ever happened. Among the newest opinions about API: "A wonderful lesson in Scamming 101." "Just what is happening?" "Stop this now. Produce the tapes or shut up." Either...

DID YOU SEE IT ? From hair plugs to this. Now I know what those two beige streaks were on the side of his temples ! He used cosmetic tape to give himself an eye lift and it almost closed them shut. Both socialist/democrats suffering from severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I have a screen capture but no matter how I try it comes out as a red x
