L.A. Times Suppresses Damaging Obama Videotape
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape showing
Barack Obama attending an event in Chicago honoring a Palestinian
activist who formerly served as a spokesman for Yasser Arafat.
The 2003 event was a farewell party for Rashid Khalidi, who was
leaving the University of Chicago to take a position at Columbia
University in New York.
Obama, then an Illinois state senator, lavished praise on Khalidi at
the party, which was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network. So
did unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, according to Andrew C. McCarthy,
contributing editor at National Review, who disclosed Khalidi’s link
to “master terrorist” Arafat.
Back in April, Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times wrote about the
party and disclosed: “The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape
was obtained by The Times.”
But as the Boston Herald noted about the videotape, “The Los Angeles
Times refuses to release it.”
McCarthy observed: “Is there just a teeny-weenie chance that this was
an evening of Israel-bashing Obama would find very difficult to
explain? Could it be that The Times, a pillar of the Obamedia, is
covering for its guy?”
Khalidi himself spoke at the event, praising Obama and telling the
crowd that he deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. “You
will not have a better senator under any circumstances,” he said.
In the 1970s, Khalidi taught at a university in Beirut, Lebanon, and
often spoke on behalf of Arafat’s Palestinian Liberation Organization.
In 1990s, he advised the Palestinian delegation during peace
negotiations. And in 2000, Khalidi and his wife held a fundraiser for
Obama’s unsuccessful congressional bid.
The following year, a social service organization whose board was
headed by Khalidi’s wife received a $40,000 grant from a local charity
that included Obama among its board of directors, the Times reported
in April.
The Times disclosed: “At Khalidi’s 2003 farewell party, one young
Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of
terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing
U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land,
she said, ‘then you will never see a day of peace.’
“One speaker likened ‘Zionist settlers on the West Bank’ to Osama bin
Laden, saying both had been ‘blinded by ideology.’”
Regarding anti-Israeli rhetoric, McCarthy wrote that Obama “wouldn’t
possibly let something like that pass without a spirited defense of
the Israel he tells us he so stanchly supports, would he?
“I guess to answer that question, we’d have to know what was on the
tape.”
