Barack Obama's Other Terrorist Pal, the Palestinian One

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

Surely you've heard, there's a hot new Obama terrorist pal in town. (William Ayers? So passe. Sorry, guy. Even John McCain called you washed up.)

Get with it! All the cool zealots are moving on to Barack Obama's second wild-eyed buddy, this crazy honcho of the Palestine Liberation Organization. He and Barack Obama palled around real hard back in the day, thinking up ways to destroy Israel and k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

It's true! Even Sarah Palin says so

"It seems that there is yet another radical professor from the neighborhood who spent a lot of time with Barack Obama going back several years," Palin said at an event in Bowling Green, Ohio. "This is important because his associate, Rashid Khalidi… in addition to being a political ally of Barack Obama, he's a former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization." …

Khalidi is a leading scholar of Middle Eastern studies at [elitist Ivy League university!!1!] Columbia, and he was a contemporary of Obama's while on the faculty of the University of Chicago. Khalidi has been a harsh critic of U.S. foreign policy toward Israel and has accused the country of "occupying" Palestinian territories. But he has denied acting as a PLO spokesman during a seven-year period in the 1970s and 1980s.

Khalidi said Wednesday, "I am not speaking to the media at this time, and certainly not until this idiot wind passes."

"Idiot wind," eh, "Professor" Khalidi? Sounds mighty un-American to these ears. And these ears don't run.

Now, if only there were some kind of video evidence proving that Khalidi and Obama were once in a room together, preferably a room where a third party said something controversial…

In April, the Los Angeles Times published an article about a going-away dinner for Khalidi that Obama attended in Chicago, Illinois, in 2003. Khalidi was leaving to become a professor at Columbia.

The paper reported that a young Palestinian-American woman recited a poem at the farewell party that accused the Israeli government of terrorism for its treatment of Palestinians and was highly critical of U.S. support of Israel.

The McCain campaign accused the Los Angeles paper of "intentionally suppressing" a videotape it obtained from that dinner and demanded that it release the footage. The Times said it won't release the footage because a reporter promised a source that the video would not be made public.

Asked why the McCain campaign was bringing the matter up six months after the article appeared, an aide replied, "Because we are one week away from potentially electing Barack Obama."

Exactly. Thank you, anonymous all-American McCain aide.

Now that's a real patriot's reasoning.

  1. iowagradstudent-

    What the hell did you ever believe in? NOTHING! You know what? You make me fucking sick. I've struggled all my life not to be just like you. Cuz I can't believe believing in nothing. More power to you I guess. Wish I knew who you just so I could avoid you.

  3. Dear "Fuck You,"
    You are the very reason I support full birth abortions.

  4. Fuck you opined, "Wish I knew who you just so I could avoid you."

    Does Fuck you even comprehend the irony of writing this anonymously on a comedy blog? I doubt it.

    @deborah, wish I could take one of your classes, 'cause you got it all together. Couldn't have said it better.

  5. Dear "wrong" you're the very reason I support contraception. Less messy. Less of a burden to the conscience. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure. Fuck you again.

  6. Fuck You: Is that what your Mom said to you when you came out of her vagina? I'd sooner have a spoonful of that afterbirth than say something rude about her. Iowagradstudent is nice. She doesn't bother anyone. Plus, I like to set the bar low. Dwarf-tossing low. So, feel free to enter the gutter with me as I don't want to avoid you. Here. In Cyberspace. Where all is easy to see. OK Fartbreath?

  7. Trying to play the heel Fuck You? I don't get it. Wow. Taking a stance on contraception. Wonder what stimulated that line because it's never been used? Courage. Guts. Spine. Fortitude. My taint. Have some balls. Contraception. Please. I supported whacking you as soon as you made an exit from your mother's womb. I support full term abortions. In cases of Fuck You especially. If I could go back in time and get your Daddy to put a Jimmy on, I would.

  8. Turns out McCain was head of an organization that gave thousands of dollars to him over the course of several years. All Obama did was sit at a dinner. Don't believe me on the McCain connection….check out Fox News….that's my source. You know the McCain campaign has hit a new low when even Fox News points out their mistakes…lol.

  9. I have seen desparate and all time lows…but the McCain Campaign is pulling out all the desparate and lows they can before November 4.

    I do not understand why the media (CNN) didn't go after Goldfarb more about why McCain contributed over $448 to Khalidi's foundation? What was that all about? It must have been worthy enough for McCain to contribute to him. And don't give me that McCain wouldn't know Khalidi if he sat next to him! If I (or if I had an accountant) contributed that much money to anybody, you better believe I would know what he looked like, where he lived, his family, and whats he's all about!!
