you are who you associate with, right?

hey lookie like mccain palling around with "PLO terrorists" too!

"It turns out that McCain is treading on tricky ground when he cites the Khalidi case as an example of Obama consorting with terrorist sympathizers. The Obama campaign was quick to point out that an organization co-founded by Khalidi has received large sums of grant money from the International Republican Institute, chaired by McCain since 1993. One such grant was for $448,873 in 1998 to assist the Center for Palestine Research and Studies in its work in the West Bank."

guilt by association. or, wait, he must not be a PLO terrorist now, right?

So both great protectors of Israel have been associated with someone with ties to the PLO.

So they are both supporting terrorism, throw them both in Guantanimo.

(again, Disclaimer: I am TOTALLY biased when it comes to Israel)

What's wrong with giving money to Khalidi, anyway? Is the Obama mafia trying to imply that Obama's friend Khalidi supports terrorism?

McCain gave money to Khalidi? The truth behind the meme

Posted on October 30, 2008 by nuke

Yesterday, readers of our blog were witness to the birth of viral meme.

An 0bama troll dropped by our post on the LA Times video suppression, and informed us that the Obama-Khalidi association really wasn’t any big deal. Otherwise, why would John McCain have given over $400,000 to a Palestinian group that Khalidi worked with?

I googled his cut-and-paste comment and discovered that the exact same phrase had been already been posted to the internet over 500 times.

That same verbatim phrase now has been posted over 18,000 times!

Obviously the O-bots think it’s working.

The problem is, it is only a distraction, designed to produce an illusion.

Aaron Klein, writing at WND, shines the light of truth on the 0bama cover story.

It’s true that McCain distributed several grants, including one worth about half a million dollars, to the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, or CPRS, a West Bank organization associated with Khalidi.

What the 0-bots fail to mention is that CPRS is pro-Western and can be characterized as pro-Israel.

Its work has been condemned by the Palestinian leadership and by local terror groups as “Zionist propaganda.”

In contrast, the Khalidi organization Obama helped fund as a board member for a nonprofit, alongside domestic terrorist William Ayers, has taken a flagrantly anti-Israel line. Khalidi’s Arab American Action Network has hosted scores of Israel-bashing events, including at least one reportedly attended by Obama.

The Obama-Khalidi connection is one more straw. Is it the one that finally breaks the donkey’s back?http://nukegingrich.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/mccain-gave-money-to-khalidi-the-truth-behind-the-meme/

Nope, there's no evidence that Khalidi supports terrorism or that this dinner promoted the destruction of Israel. Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the McCain campaign.

Fear mongering is all they have left and it's just making them look more and more pathetic. Looks like he's just going to leave the whole republican party in shambles with this campaign.

Viewers curious about the views of the man whom in 2003 Obama gave a “warm embrace” should skip to the fifty-minute mark on the video tape. You see, Khalidi tells us, the U.S. is repeating the same error of the Cold War in pursuing its war against Islamic terrorists. According to Khalidi it is the same “blind, foolish, reductionism.” And the U.S. policy is designed according to Khalidi to “get Palestinians to destroy one another.” And on it goes.

Obama has presented a certain face to the voters and we should see if it matches up to the face he showed others before he imagined anyone outside his circle of like-minded comrades might take particular notice.

Blood libel hosted at Barack Obama’s official site is consistent with Obama’s alleged genocide accusation

As reported at Israel Insider and Townhall.com"

"Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”

This statement by Barack Obama is 100 percent consistent with the anti-Israel blood libels that he welcomes at My.Barackobama.com, over which his campaign staff exercises editorial control. “Obama Foreign Policy Dream Ticket: Edwards and Samantha Power” has been online since February 17th. Here is the Google cache in case it goes under the bus between now and November 4:

Being intentionally dense doesn't suit you.

Hmmm...Seattle has quite a large number of gays and lesbians. I'm pretty sure you associate with them on a daily basis because of your job...that means you are gay. Sounds logical to me...

Not really. Never know, though. Some of the people who come through needing stuff shipped are pretty shadey characters. You know...Special Forces...Presidential support...the usual logistics stuff.
