McCain camp demands L.A. Times release video of Obama at Palestinian party

[MikeWB]

If Obama manages to get elected, he will be the worst thing that can happen to Israel. There's just too many clues that he's not a friend of Israel and yet he understands how the game is played and who the masters are and what you need to do to get elected.

McCain camp demands L.A. Times release video
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.

He said the video could, among other things, show how Obama responded to a poem recited at the party accusing Israel of "terrorism" and warning of consequences for U.S. support for Israel, which Goldfarb described as "hate speech."

"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," he said.

The campaign hadn't previously demanded the video, though conservative bloggers have, and neither other reporters nor McCain's researchers have been able to dig up a copy.

Khalidi is a controversial figure, reviled by pro-Israel activists, though not a marginal one. A former professor at the University of Chicago, he's now Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia, and respected by many in academia. He's been criticized most for saying that Palestinians have a right to resist Israeli occupation and has been described as a former P.L.O. spokesman, a label he has denied.

The paper hasn't explained its unwillingness to release the video, and Peter Wallsten, who found the tape and wrote about it, declined to discuss it with me last night. He forwarded an e-mail that the paper has sent readers who have complained as conservative blogs raise the issue.

"Over six months ago the Los Angeles Times published a detailed account of the events shown on the videotape. The Times is not suppressing anything. Just the opposite — the L.A. Times brought the matter to light," wrote the readers' representative, Jamie Gold.

L.A. Times spokeswoman Nancy Sullivan wouldn't discuss the decision not to release the tape in detail.

"When we reported on the tape six months ago, that was our full report," she said, and asked, "Does Politico release unpublished information?"

The answer to that question is yes — Politico and most news outlets constantly make available videos and documents, after describing them in part, which is why the Times' decision not to release the video is puzzling. My instinct, and many reporters', is to share as much source material as possible.

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.

Him going to a Palestinian party is irrelevant to how he will view Israel. He has already sworn alliance with the occupiers of Palestine. He very well could be being bribed by the wanderers and launderers. Obama and McCain are identical with leaving American bases in foreign nations. The Jew is on both sides of the coin in regards to the Democrat and Republican parties. Joe Biden has been caught saying "I am a Zionist ..." They both fail. The time must come were a candidate speaks out against world criminal Jewry.

And yet all the zionists are against him. Heh.

As for Biden, he also said that Israel should get used to nuclear Iran: http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=68135

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Biden, a six-time Delaware Senator and chairperson of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the "amazed" officials, "It's doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front."

How do you explain these discrepancies?

And yes, I will be voting for Obama... McCain and his Zionist backers must be defeated.

[Mac Seafraidh]

Obama is no different than McCain and it is not like every single Jew is against Obama, it is a lose-lose situation. The best way to vote in these elections is either to not or write someone in. I personally did not like any candidate running, but the best choice probably would have been Ron Paul. The two party system needs to be overthrown.

[Ralph Furely]

i agree.  i was just watching something last night talking about this lesser of two evils shit.  everyone always says well im voting for the lesser of two evils...fuck this is gonna bug me now where i saw that.  think it was a youtube clip.  in fact it could be the one i was going to post in here anyway.  from Ry Dawson, talking about how similar the two stooges are.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no33y_j6PRw

anyway, i have this little argument from time to time with this little Syrian hottie i talk to.  she loves obama.  she thinks he is gonna change everything!  lol  it would be ammusing if it werent so serious.
just the other day she replied to an email i sent out about that attack, saying

I've heard... This 'attack' is a typical Bush-based way! It is one of his last attempts to create more damage in the Middle East... I guess it's also his way of saying good bye to Al-Asad! I just hope that things don't escalate... We certainly don't need another unnecessary war! November 4th is almost there... If Obama wins, he will be pulling the American troops out of Iraq... It's time for all this madness to end.

obviously after reading that u will see she just doesnt get it.  but thats ok.. i try to explain shit to her. shes really a smart girl, just did 4 yrs for macro economics, but she just doesnt get it.  like so many others.  she seriously thinks obama will end the wars, take the troops out of there, and so on.  i try to explain it to her, that the president doesnt call the shots, that this war was meant to last for a very long time, that he could never go against his controllers like that, etc.

anyway point being, on the one hand i can understand ppl saying well shit, i gotta vote for someone.  it sure as hell isnt gonna be mccain, so i guess itll be obama!  thats one thing, but to actually think he is just playing all these ppl and that hes actually gonna fuck shit up, i just cant buy that man.  id like to, but i think, as a heading on WUFYS said the other say, this is 'wishful thinking'.
i was saying this exact same shit 2 yrs ago about RP.  everyone thought he was the saviour cuz he was saying so much great shit... and what did he do.  nothing, took a dive.  fuck that pussy.

i agree with above tho, this two party sham of a system needs to be gone.  and untill everyone stops voting for these puppet israel 1sters, nothing will change.  everyone will just keep on voting for rich white (or in this case black) men who have nothing in common with you or anyone you know.  why are lawyers and millionaires always the only choices?  cuz the game is rigged and it is useless.  

i dont even live there and this shit frustrates the hell out of me.  if i could i would like to meet each of them behind the school by that big old oak tree at 3:10 and kick both their asses, equally.

WTF Mike? you voting Obimbo, you are jokin right :lol:

One way Israel wins, other way, Israel wins

[MikeWB]

In 2000, was Al Gore the same as Bush? In 2004, was Kerry the same as Bush?! No way are Obama and McCain the same.

As for Ron Paul... he never had a chance. He has no energy nor charisma and that's what politicians run on these days. I'm just being realistic here.

I've never seen so many Zionists be up in arms over a candidate like they're over Obama.

BTW, this Goldfarb mentioned above is a Jew and a Zionist neocon and a deputy editor of The Weekly Standard that Kristol runs. ALL neocons are behind McCain. Name one neocon that's supporting Obama.

[MikeWB]

WTF Mike? you voting Obimbo, you are jokin right :lol:

Joking? Absolutely not. I will vote Obama since my enemy wants McCain to win. Convince me that Israel really wins when Obama wins. Why are they all against him and why is Israel threatening that they will attack now if Obama wins?

Which Neocon/Israeli/Zionist newspaper has endorsed Obama so far?

[Rockclimber]

No! Say it ain't so!  Mike you're way too smart for this. The guy supports AIPAC and has a Zionist VP. I believe that both of these boys are their boys. All it takes is a few skeletons in their closet and their done--compromised.

Either way--if what you believe is true then there is no way this guy will be elected, despite recent polls. They will either destroy him (with a very short window of opportunity) with an October surprise or they will just simply manipulate the vote.

Between lucifer and satan as choices? I'm sitting this one out.

Al Gore was part of the Clintonista gang. It really does not matter how different they may be, the Jew is right around the corner of both parties. Kerry flip-flopped so many times, you really could not compare. All candidates are Jew controlled.

hahah Mike if I was you, I wouldn't vote for either Zio-lover but would drive 40 mins to get some veggies off your man in the country, time well spent

[kolnidre]

Name one neocon that's supporting Obama.

-Martin Indyk
-Dennis Ross
-The Pritzker family (Penny is Obama's baglady)

While not strictly Neocons they are Israel-firsters. What's the fuckin' difference? They both use the American empire for their own aims and are only loyal to the body of supremacists from which they allegedly trace their seed.

Oh, and that disgusting pile of filth Sarah Silverman supports Obama. Enough to make me sit out, too, even though I'm not really anywhere near the game.

[MikeWB]

Guys, in few days either Obama or McCain will become a president. END OF STORY! No matter what you want, the reality is that one of them is going to win. Which one do you want to win?! I sure as shit don't want McCain to win! That's all I'm gonna say on this issue.

And could you provide me with McCain list please.

I have a question....what will happen to AIPAC, ADL, and the ACLU when the US government collapses and defaults on its debt?

[high_treason]

MikeWB: The thing is lets say you voted Obama and he wins, then he starts another war for israel...wouldn't you feel guilty?
Even if Mcsane wins you can proudly say you didn't vote for him. Vote third party or don't vote at all, forget this whole lesser of two evils. Evil is Evil there is no less or more.

Probably take over from the government, or better yet let the US pay israel in nukes and more military hardware!

I'd feel worse if McCain won and all the damn neocon israeli nazis stayed in the cabinet and that nutcase Palin had a chance of being a president once McCain's cancer is back. And I don't buy the "don't vote for the lesser evil" theory since the reality is that there is no perfect candidate and we will NEVER have an openly anti-zio candidate that has any chance. Even the Ron Paul was not anti-zio. The race is between McCain and Obama. McCain is clearly the bigger evil (Rothschild pawn and Lieberman's his puppeteer) and a vote for a 3rd party candidate is a vote for the bigger evil. Voting for Obama means that McCain/Palin will not enter the WH and the necons that are running it now will get a boot.

I'm being realistic here.

Show me Palestinians that are supporting McCain please.

Nothing. They're not gov organizations and receive no money from them. AIPAC and ADL will be around forever since their donors have all the money.

Follow me on this logic:

Neo-con --> conservative --> republican --> not democrat -->  Obama is democrat

Given that the false two party system needs to maintain it's appearance, would anyone expect Democrats (Liberals, non-republican, non-neo-con) to publicly start supporting McCain?  Would anyone expect neo-cons to publicly support Obama?  It might happen.  But lets be realistic, the game needs to be maintained, their not going to come out and proclaim,'we support Obama!', he is on the other 'team' as far as the show is concerned.

And to vote for the lesser of two puppets to make sure the more evil puppet does not come to power makes sense, but lets face that too, it is playing RIGHT into the Hegelian dialectic that they have created, as always.  Although, they did it with Bush and Gore and Kerry, and yes the votes were manipulated to make sure their chosen one came to the reigns of America, but those two guys were still bitches in the pockets of the owners/masters.

Vote for who you want, just be aware that things might not go so great as one may think with the other puppet vs the more evil one.

Peace.
