UPDATE LA TIMES story on the tape. They promised not to share the tape. Sigh!
Don’t wish to reveal source for tape, NO PROBLEMA…redact the moment where the source might be implicated. It is an obligation!!! LAT your behavior is questionable.
Another omission in questionable relationships: Ayers, Dorhn, Said, Khalidi, Wright, etc.
Sounds like there are some very serious friendships here that Obama does not want the world to know about.
This was a Jew Bash Fest for Khalidi. Rashid Khalidi is responsible for bringing Ahmenidijad to Columbia Universtity, not once but TWICE! You know, one of his special friends? Who knew Khalidi had that much clout with the Iranians?
Rumor has it that a secret meeting was arranged by Khalidi between Obama and Ahmedinijad and did happen. Both Said and Khalidi’s have membership in the PLO dating back to the ’70’s when it was on the State department terrorist list. Calling on Florida to pay attention NOW.
Looks bad, Obama’s shady friends do not want to be outed. Kinda of like the cockroaches that scatter when you turn the porch lights on.
The tape is important because Obama is present at a 2003 dinner where Palestinian Rhashid Khalidi was honored, amongst frequent calls for the immediate destruction of the state of Israel. Can you just feel the HATE???
Obama and Michelle both attended the hatefest. Reports are that they were smiling very happy and amongst special friends Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers (maybe a closeup of Obama, Michelle, Dorhn and Ayers sitting all lovey dovey together at the same table).
All eyes are on the LA Times right now — so if the tape sits in GOP hands, it’s far better for the Times to be pressured to release it on its own, and to do so at a time when the narrative shouldn’t be about Obama’s big informercial, but instead about Obama sitting at dinner with terrorists, laughing and having a grand old time while speaker after speaker calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Israelis.
Because that’s the buzz about what went on at this dinner.
Obama supporters in Chicago know about this because many were in that room when it happened. Just as many Obama supporters were in San Francisco in the room with him when he called Midwesterners bitter gun-and-religion-clingers apathetic to all those who are not like them. People like this think nothing of sitting through a dinner where radicals spout hate because these are the same Hyde Park chicago pseudo-intellectual radicals who think there’s nothing wrong with Bernadine Dorhn and William Ayers running daycare centers or teaching in universities.
“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.”
How convenient! How much are you getting from Team O? Well, given that the tape is LA, most are speculating that there are copies to be bought. Oops, no I meant found.
They will only allow the world to view the whitewashed story. Can we say COVER UP?
Today, five years later, Obama is a U.S. senator from Illinois who expresses a firmly pro-Israel view of Middle East politics, pleasing many of the Jewish leaders and advocates for Israel whom he is courting in his presidential campaign. The dinner conversations he had envisioned with his Palestinian American friend have ended. He and Khalidi have seen each other only fleetingly in recent years.
And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor’s going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.
He has NOT given up his associations. Obama says that he is a man of his word. Then why did he state early on that he would stand with the Muslims? Don’t get me wrong. I don’t find anything offensive about this statement. I do however find Obama’s hypocrisy offensive. Israel has nothing to fear.
The man is clueless. Even his friends in Europe view him as utterly naive when it comes to his views on Iran.
UPDATE: McCain Camp requesting LA Times release tape.
from Ace:
Companion: Bill Sammon notes, as no one in the MSM will, that Barack Obama, by his own self-account, has surrounded himself with Marxists his entire life.
Another Companion: Obama funneled millions to left-wing and racial-agitating groups in his position as Bill Ayers’ go-for.
We want the video released. Everyone knows it exists…you know, the Jew Bash that Obama and pals attended. Peter Wallsten has the tape: email directly.

Hurry, because the LA TImes just slashed 75 jobs.
As Michelle said:
Bleeding newspapers really shouldn’t be pissing off readers.
Contact info for the LA Times.
He made a toast to his friend from the PLO and Bernadine and Bill were there.
It must have been one heck of a party.
This is how the Los Angeles Times has chosen to respond to requests to release the Obama-Rashid Khalidi videotape, courtesy of an LGF reader.
To paraphrase: “No, we’re not going to release the video. Go away.”
