The Los Angeles Times Newspaper has the tape of Obama and Rashid Khalidi at a dinner party celebrating Rashid Khalidi, a PLO sympathizer. It also has Obama toasting him and lavishing praise on him. I want to see it. I want to see what is being hidden from the American people before we decide on which candidate will occupy the White House. When in our last century did the media hide so much about a candidate? I can't remember a time such as this in my last thirty years or so since I've been paying attention to the political scene. This is an abomination in my opinion. Will we the public let this slip past us? My gosh, even with Nixon and Watergate, the story was exposed by the media. What happened to the media this election cycle? It died. It's buried the information on Obama and it's buried itself in so doing. We should put up the headstone,

This tape doesn't exist, why would you think it does?
McCain is closer to Khalidi than Obama as far as substance is concerned. McCain
"Indeed, the McCain–Khalidi connections are more substantial than the phony Obama–Khalidi connections McCarthy [A National Review wingnut] gussies up for his article. The Republican party’s congressionally funded international-networking organization, the International Republican Institute–long and ably chaired by John McCain and headed by McCain’s close friend, the capable Lorne Craner–has taken an interest in West Bank matters. IRI funded an ambitious project, called the Palestine Center, that Khalidi helped to support. Khalidi served on the Center’s board of directors. The goal of that project, shared by Khalidi and McCain, was the promotion of civic consciousness and engagement and the development of democratic values in the West Bank. Of course, McCarthy is not interested in looking too closely into the facts, because they would not serve his shrill partisan objectives.
I have a suggestion for Andy McCarthy and his Hyde Park project. If he really digs down deep enough, he will come up with a Hyde Park figure who stood in constant close contact with Barack Obama and who, unlike Ayers and Khalidi, really did influence Obama’s thinking about law, government, and policy. He is to my way of thinking a genuine radical. His name is Richard Posner, and he appears to be the most frequently and positively cited judge and legal academic in… National Review."
