During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.
A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank.
See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.
Facts!!!
Who is linked to Khalidi now?

The problem here is hypocrisy once again. McCain did nothing wrong back then. He is being a hypocrite now for claiming Obama being associated with Khalidi is a problem when he financed him.
Thanks again for the research, Jared.

‘E’ Minus 6 Days — Loose Ends
Today’s Thoughtful Reminder:
DEALING WITH REDS
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Never again, voters.
Remember.
Never again.
Never!
N-E-V-E-R.
We've decided we're leaving.
We intend to form our own country,
and we're taking the other Blue States with us.
In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.
Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico
Peace out,
Blue States

They keep going after Obama on people tied to them. Even ACORN. McCain was at their convetion praising them. Now this.
This guy can't catch a break.
It's clear they are attempting to smear him. Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Khalidi, Mickey Mouse, ...
Who is next?
The problem is McCain has his racist pastors he went after for political endorsements, he went to a fundraiser 10 years ago to the home Gordon Liddy, he has funded Khalidi, went to ACORN convention and told them "they make America work"
What about McCain's company?
What will Sarah say?
It was so yucky how they go on and on at those right wing radio stations. I just turned the radio off.
