This is the latest thing in the news right now. I first heard about it last night. It is a clip of Obama with Ayers (terrorist) and Klalidi (pro-Palestinian anti-Israel professor) in 2003 eating dinner together. Just a guy in the neighborhood? People, Obama is a liar and has been caught in the action in more than one occasion. How can you trust him? If a liar lies about 1 thing, what makes you think they won't lie on another? These just aren't little fibs either yet quite the contrary...
Demand LA Times Produce Video of Obama, Khalidi, Ayers, Dohrn
The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a 2003 video of a farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama, William Ayers (and wife, and fellow Weather Underground terrorist member Bernadine Dohrn) and other PLO supporters toast lavish praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi — former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat. Oops, that would be damaging for Barack Obama's campaign now wouldn't it?
Contact information for the LA TIMES here. Demand they produce the video befove November 4.
[b]The National Review Online report says: It was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), which had been founded by Khalidi and his wife, Mona, formerly a top English translator for Arafat’s press agency ... there's just a teeny-weenie chance that this was an evening of Israel-bashing Obama would find very difficult to explain? ... researcher Stanley Kurtz has noted that Ayers and Khalidi were “best friends.” (And — small world! — it turns out that the Obamas are extremely close to the Khalidis, who have reportedly babysat the Obama children.)
Contact information for the LA TIMES here. Demand they produce the video before November 4.
Here's the way the LA Times originally reported the April 2003 celebration (no bias here, right???)
CHICAGO -- It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

L.A. Times defends decision not to release clip of Obama with Palestinian critic of Israel

The campaign of Republican presidential nominee John McCain is demanding the Los Angeles Times release a video purportedly showing Barack Obama at an event in which he spoke of his friendship with a controversial Palestinian scholar, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The footage is said to be of a 2003 banquet during which Obama, who was then an Illinois state senator, spoke of his relationship with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American Orientalist who is known for his frequent criticism of Israel, the L.A. Times said.
This past April, the LA Times ran a story on the banquet, which was a gathering of Arab Americans and local Chicago politicians who had gathered to bid farewell to Khalidi.

When Obama addressed the crowd, he spoke of his conversations with Khalidi as "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases... It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation - a conversation that is necessary not just around [Khalidi's wife] Mona and Rashid's dinner table."
The newspaper has refused to release the video, citing an agreement it made with an anonymous source. McCain aides on Tuesday slammed the Times for its refusal to publicize the tape, according to the Times.
"A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb is quoted as saying in the Times. "... The election is one week away, and it's unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job - make information public."
The newspaper responded to the McCain camp's charges of favoritism on Tuesday, issuing a statement explaining its position.
"The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it," said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton. "The Times keeps its promises to sources."
