Surprise! Obama Found Palling Around With More Terrorists
And I use “surprise” only in the sense of “unsurprisingly, the MSM is sitting on this story so hard it makes their John Edwards love child coverage look like the very ideal of nonpartisan public-has-a-right-to-know journalism.”
Apparently PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi frequently had dinner at casa de Obama. Be sure to watch for the same massive media coverage we would get if McCain was having family dinners with a spokesman for a right-wing terrorist group that bombed abortion clinincs.
Meanwhile, Victor Hanson imagines a world where journalists do their job, and McCain runs a campaign less concerned with sucking up to his opponent:
Why didn’t the media or McCain just ask Obama a few of the following questions: Why did you keep emailing and phoning Bill Ayers for three years after 9/11, when the country was gripped by fear of terror, and Ayers, like bin Laden, said that he had not done enough bombing, and had no regrets about the terrorism he had committed?
Why did Obama say in 2004 to the Chicago Sun-Times that he went to Trinity Church every Sunday at 11AM, and then later claim he had not been there that regularly once Rev. Wright’s venom was disseminated to the general public? Is Obama for, or not for, a simple yes or no, missile defense, nuclear power, off-shore drilling, and coal-powered electrical generation? There might be legitimate answers, but surely the public could profit by them, rather than worry over the Palin pregnancies, wardrobe, or Tasergate.
And a journalist who does her job finds her station cut off by the Obama campaign. He’s not even in office yet, and already the Fairness Doctrine lives again!
Naturally, journalists everywhere are rallying to their defense, just as they did when Judith Miller was sent to jail over the oh-so-important-to-national-security question of who let the press know Joe Wilson was sent to Niger by his wife and not by Cheney as he claimed (turned out it was Richard Armitage, so naturally Lewis Libby was sent to jail too).

I wonder what NYT stockholders have to say about this.
Oh, that’s right. Nothing. NYT is close-held. The publicly traded common stock has no real say in how the company is run.
A Billion dollar in-kind contribution (as measured by reduced value of 143M shares common) in the form of diminshed brand value. *poof*
These are all old stories. The Rashid Khalidi was discussed back during the primaries.
For those who do not know, Rashid Khalidi is an American born Palestinian and currently a professor at Colombia. He has a BA from Yale and PhD from Oxford. He was at the University of Chicago until 2003, which is where he met Obama.
Khalidi also worked at the American University in Beirut in the 1970s, and sometimes spoke to reporters off the record. He was an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the 1991 Madrid Conference. There have been claims that Khalidi worked for the PLO or was a PLO spokesperson. Khalidi denies that he ever worked for the PLO or ever was a PLO spokesperson. Khalidi has said he was unaware that anyone at ever mistakenly identified him as a PLO spokesperson.
Bill Ayers was actually a member of terrorist group and took part in planning and carrying out terrorist activities. There is absolutely no evidence of Khalidi taking part in any terrorists activities, and the thinnest possible evidence of a fringe association with the PLO, which was a terrorist group that also became the elected government of the Palestinian territories.
Nov 4th cannot come too soon.
