Is there anybody Barack Obama hangs out with who would be welcome at your home for dinner?
From Politico: (Ben Smith)
John McCain’s campaign is demanding that the Los Angeles Times release a video of a party for a prominent Palestinian activist that Barack Obama attended in 2003.
The Times described the going-away party for former University of Chicago professor, and Obama friend, Rashid Khalidi, in a story in April. The story reported that Palestinians thought they might have a friend in Obama because of his friendships in that community, despite the fact that his positions have never been particularly pro-Palestinian.
“A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi,” said McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb, citing Obama’s friendship with Khalidi, who is now a professor at Columbia University.

Critics have suggested that the Times is witholding the video for political reasons, but there are other possibilities: competitive reasons, or simply out of tradition. In the mechanics of reporting, there’s another possibility as well. The video may have been given to the paper on the condition it not be released, or releasing it could compromise its source.
But the Times hasn’t explained the move, and the McCain campaign is turning up the heat on a story that, whether or not the tape is released, is a reminder that some of Obama’s Hyde Park friends stand well to the left of his stated positions.

The only way they’d be welcome for dinner is if they were to come calling at the same time one our local mountain lions showed up for dinner–and they were it.
“there’s another possibility as well. The video may have been given to the paper on the condition it not be released, or releasing it could compromise its source.”
Still another possibility: Blackmail. How much can the paper get out of Barfbag/DNC for the tape!

Good one, deadenders.
Experience
John McCain: tortured by Communists
Barack Obama: tutored by Communists
How about the LA Times is owned by the Chicago Trib.
How about GE in Iran for years…?

No problem with the Halloween Installation Art…not a hate crime…not the holiday and climate.
Is it okay if a progressive artist hung donna barazile from the tippy top of the haunted house; dr dean and nancy, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE # 3 in line, SHE’LL EXPLAIN HER HIERARCHY, THANK YOU, and of course ,good ole terd kennedy crucified in flames on the front lawn be acceptable. Caroline can be Jack’s Sprat’s wife? !!
of course it’s OK, dummy, it’s halloween! too spooky is all good these days.
Kill live people in public for pretend. Yay!
John McCain will win this election if he exploits THIS single issue:
Media Cover-up!!
The LA Times is choosing to “protect Obama” over it’s primary cause of reporting the unvarnished TRUTH.
McCain gets mileage from making THIS SINGLE assault:
- He reminds Americans of Obama’s radical associations
- He reminds Jewish Americans Obama is comfy with anti-semites
- He reminds Americans the MSM is decidedly PRO-Obama
- He gets to slam a liberal rag (LA Times)
Americans like a good fight – ONLY if it’s a FAIR fight. The MSM blatantly covering-up for Obama is NOT a fair fight. Undecideds will break HARD for McCain if this message is delivered over the next 7 days.
I think the LA Times hiding this tape is better than the tape coming out. You notice the Barfy campiagn never said it didn’t exist.
I think I’ll boycott all TV for the Barfest. Hannity will replay at midnight.

Schlussel thinks Ali Abunimah is the likely source of the LA Times tape.
