They'll do it right away. Nov. 5th. Maybe.

Charles, I contacted them last night. Haven't see a reply yet. And yes, I was polite, and included a link to their April 10 article.

and it better be the unedited version ... emails sent yesterday ..sending to my family now .....

I contacted them on Saturday. I'm going to give them today to respond and then write them again tomorrow if they do not.

I also contacted them yesterday. Seen no reply, nor do I expect one.

This is brazen, unethical media malfeasance.

But you repeat yourself.

Charles, is LGF getting a ton of traffic? Maybe the LA Times thing has gotten around!

My hunch is that Obama talks about the "Israel lobby" and "Zionist oppression" in the video.

I contacted them. Somehow I don't think they will.

Rush is all over the 2001 radio interview with Obama!

Sorry, hit enter before I posted the link.

So, wait a moment. The LAT is sitting on explosive evidence that might provide shocking details of what Obama said. Releasing said information right before the election is going to have a disastrous effect on the Obama campaign?

What exactly is going to convince the LAT to release that information? I don't see it. They want Obama to win, are sitting on a video, the existence of which is not in doubt, and you honestly think that a letter writing campaign will alter their position?

How about someone tracking down the source of the video and seeing whether they made additional copies. I can't believe that the LAT has the only copy.

If you wanted to know the reason for why the media is dying, that's it.

They want to play gatekeepers and want to control access to the information, instead of letting people make up their own minds about the candidates, their associations, and values.

I sent my email to the LAT and the advertisers. Yesterday.

So is this:

Readers’ Representative:
Questions or concerns about The Times'
journalistic standards and practices

The one you all contacted?

Charles--why delete the email of the reporter I posted? Why not create a direct point of contact to editorial? Those form feeds probably don't even get read--

The only hope of this tape, if it still exists, is for someone influential in Israel contacting someone they know at the LA Times. I hope it has occured to someone over there that Obama is gonna sell Israel down the old Jordan River.

Even if the LA Times refuses to release the tape, this story may have a major impact on the election. Widespread reporting about the Times' refusal to release the tape could damage Obama as much or more than actually releasing the tape insofar as voters becomes suspicious of what is being hidden by Obama and his defender the Times.

Whether or not this blatant act of bias on the part of the Times is reported remains a big "if."

Running real slow for me also. Why would the LAT hold this tape?If they were so concerned about protecting Obama why wouldn't they destroy it. Smells fishy to me. Probably hoping to get the response they are getting and will release a tape that has been "modified."They can then say it was the crazy rightwingers putting out false stories about Obama.Just my take.Also what happened to the girl who said she had been attacked by an Obama supporter who carved a B on her face? I know she admitted to lying so why isn't the media running with this?

Done. I doubt that I'll ever get an acknowledgement of receipt.

re: #56 hbwriter

Charles--why delete the email of the reporter I posted? Why not create a direct point of contact to editorial? Those form feeds probably don't even get read--

It's stated LGF policy. No e-mails, no phone numbers, etc.

re: #37 Iron Fist Hey Bro' - hope you and the GF are doing ok!
As to the tape, I'm genuinely surprised that "someone" hasn't edited out anything that would be damning to Obama and is just dragging out the release of the tape to divert us all - sorta like the stupid birth certificate thing was a distraction to some folks for a while.

re: #61 pre-Boomer Marine brat

It's stated LGF policy. No e-mails, no phone numbers, etc.

I think you could post the reporters email. Infact I believe it has already been posted. As long as that email is the reporters public email?

Yes, let's write the LA Times .. but let's also write Rush .. and let's tell Rush about the lack of response from the LA Times. I'm going to Rush now.

I'm sending this on to everyone I know.

Has anyone else contacted FOX?

Is there only one "copy" of the tape?

I wonder if C-SPAN has a copy? Does anyone remember seeing anything like the Rashid dinner broadcast on CSPAN back at that time? They do broadcast videos of political events in cities other than DC. Of course, CSPAN probably wouldn't release their copy due strict orders from Nancy Pelosi.

re: #62 realwest

Yep. How are you and your mom donig? Well, I hope. In good news from my front, my voter registration finally came through. I get to vote against Obambi!

:-P

re: #55 gop_patriot

So is this:

The one you all contacted?

That's the one I contacted. Although I can imagine that they don't even OPEN emails that come into that address.

734,000 views on tape of redistribution ....last night when Charles posted ...200 ..Great!

Problem is 732,000 of those are either McCain voters or die-hard Obamians just checking out to see what they need to do for damage control.

Remember: If you still can be convinced at this point to change your vote, you probably don't pay attention to the news, except for top of the hour news on the radio or the wire service stories in your local paper.

I'm a little optimistic, but really this is nothing new that lizards didn't know all along.

Now, how about those gas prices? I paid $2.21 last night.

I contacted them yesterday morning, and received a form letter reply from their "readers' rep". According to it, they read all their mail, and forward to the responsible person. When I wrote this note, I sent info copies to everyone I knew, especially Jewish friends, since the party in question was a "Jew-bash". Fortunately, it's already been forwarded to several people, including ones with some clout.
This shocking behavior by the LA Times just re-enforces what Michael Malone wrote on Friday, and which was finally posted at abcnews.go.com today.

Wallsten is legally blind. I don't know how, or if, this affects the story.

Could he see well enough to make out Obama on the video? Does that mean that someone else saw Obama on the video and had to tell him because he's blind?

OT (but California related)

I came across a blurb on the internet this morning, I think from Redstate, reporting that Democrats led Republicans in California early voting by only 1,000 votes, something like 220,000 to 219,000. While the writer clearly stated CA would go for Obama, he/she expressed astonishment at these numbers.

Anyone have any further information on this subject?

-I agree with one of the posters above about liberal Jews still voting for Obama, video or no video. They could watch a video of Obama training the Sept 11 terrorists with a burning Israeli flag in the background, yet they would still vote for Obama.

Nevertheless, it would create a bit of panic and unease in the Obama campaign mgrs during the stretch run so it's still worth it to track it down:

-Where/when did this party take place? Chicago? Get the names of every TV affiliate in Chicago. Maybe they covered it on their local newscast the night of the party.
-An intrepid Lizard in either L.A. or NYC could go to the Museum of Television and Radio to check the archives and look it up by date/each affilate name.
-Was MEMRI in existence then? If so, maybe by some freak chance they have a copy that was sent to them by an attendee or some Arab news outlet that would have covered such a party...

re: #59 nigella

Also what happened to the girl who said she had been attacked by an Obama supporter who carved a B on her face? I know she admitted to lying so why isn't the media running with this?

Two reasons, in my opinion. For one, it's obvious that she has serious mental problems and isn't a representative example of a McCain supporter. She could just have easily been an Obama supporter. And no one wants to be seen as piling on a mentally ill person. Two, going on and on about her would just reiterate how the MSM is neglecting to report on the REAL attacks on McCain/Palin supporters- at rallies, at their homes, on their cars and property, etc. And they don't want to report on those incidents. That's just what I was thinking, anyway.

Has Fry's (Fry's Electronics, "Your Best Buys Are Always at Fry's. Guaranteed") been added to the list of advertisers to contact?

They're a big Widescreen TV/stereoand PC retailer in certain regional markets, and generally run a few 2- or 4-page ad on Saturdays.

BestBuy is one of their major competitors.

They represent 20-25% of the San Jose Mercury's ad revenue, and probably similar amounts for other newspapers.

My guess is that a call from Fry's gets a very perky and eager-to-please answerby the top execs at the paper.

re: #71 Russkilitlover

Isn't the policy to post a public web site address that would contain the email (or a phone number).

Charles point is a very good one. We don't want LGF to be a place where harassment can occur out of (with a direct number or email posted).

I posted a radio station number in August and was politely reminded not to do that.

What will convince them to release the info? A boycott of their advertisers. If their advertisers take their money elsewhere, they can't pay their bills.

IMHO, it's a waste of time to contact the LAT directly. The advertisers, now they are another story. Talk of a boycott might make them queasy in this economy. The advertisers are the ones that hold the cards here.

The American Family Association seems to be pretty good at boycotts. I'm not sure if this is their kind of thing though.

Sent off email to LAT. Doubt I will receive a reply. I live on the Left coast and never read the LAT or the OC Registar. Get my news from radio and the net. Now will email advertisers. I have never been so afraid for our great Country in my life.

The LA Fishwrap doesn't give a crap what we think. They are our educated betters and know what's best for us stupid, clingy, gun-totin', Bible readin' xenophobes.

re: #67 MandyManners

Obama Campaign Cuts All Ties With WFTV

..."I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.

Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."...

...."Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."

Great interview and it's about damn time somebody in the media started doing this. They should've been doing this MONTHS ago. Bravo Barbara West and Bob Jordan. We need to show our support of their efforts.

I fear that for most Obama supporters, this is a non issue. If they are OK with voter fraud, they are certainly gogin to be OK with selling Israel out.

They just don't care.

Perhaps an undecided or two may care.

And even if they have counted 'em out in California, it's illegal under Federal Election Law, iirc, to release the actual early vote tallies.

Rudi, about California, those must be absentee ballots right?I'm a Californian and those who normally vote absentee are heavily Republican. That has been the case in the past. If that many Dems voted absentee that is probably not a positive sign. Don't worry though California will never vote for McCain anyway.

The Bill Ayers/Obama Idea Of Education

In 1997, Ayers and his mentor Maxine Greene persuaded Teachers College Press to launch a series of books on social justice teaching, with Ayers as editor and Greene serving on the editorial board (along with Rashid Khalidi, loyal supporter of the Palestinian cause and the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University). Twelve volumes have appeared so far, including one titled Teaching Science for Social Justice.

Obama, as chaiman of (Ayers') Chicago Annenberg Challenge, was dispersing funds for projects like this, and awarding grants to individual teachers/administrators. He was directly carrying out Ayers'/Dohrn's agenda --politicizing teachers and students at all levels, for their never-foresaken revolutionary cause of overthrowing capitalism.

Apparently we are not allowed to post the author's email address. I was unaware of that. Although if you go to the story it is right there at the bottom of the article...

re: #30 MandyManners

From how the LAT has relayed the existence of the tape, I'd say that they got it from an outside source, not an employee; "The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times."

If the LAT taped the event, I'd believe that they would have said it as such.

re: #66 cblesz

Charles,

I'm not trying to disobey your rule on posting addresses or other information, but I would like to know the name of the national desk editor at the LA Times. From there, I can figure out his/her email address at the LAT.

Better yet, does anyone have a way of contacting Sam Zell who owns the LAT?

re: #67 MandyManners

I emailed Hannity: the only one there who I believe might bring some pressure to bear, or at least expose the LAT's refusal to release it.

re: #118 hermeneutics

I wrote to the Tribune (link provided), owner of the Times.

gotcha--thanks, Charles--sorry to have crossed that line--

The closest comparison I can think of is the Trent Lott/Strom Thurmond birthday celebration. Lott was forced to resign from a leadership position for saying something nice to an old man on his birthday. Obama says nice things about an Israel basher and the story doesn't even see the light of day. And based on the guest list, is it possible that Obama was sitting with some folks that he doesn't want anyone to know he was close to?

Done! Went through Google to get to the LA Times, because they'll probably be screening off all the e-mails they get through LGF.

And the LA times didn't mind linking to video of Sara Palin at the Alaska Independence party. [Link: www.latimes.com...]

Holy sacred cow.

The Organization of News Ombudsmen has a page of links to other news organizations here.

Would it help to write to any of those, as well?

People need to organize and start picketing at the LAT AND its advertisers. If I lived in HellA, I'd take time off from work to go do it.

Phone calls and e-mails they can ignore until this blows over. Actual live people in front of their building demanding a free and open press, that would be a bit tougher to deal with. And it would get more media attention. Picketing the LAT's advertisers would get the message across even more pointedly.

Atlas Shrugs is also asking people to write to the LA Times. I just did. I'm afraid I wasn't very polite. I told them that withholding this important news is not journalism, but communism. Hope I didn't go over the line. They probably won't want to interview me.

The best response to the Los Angeles Slimes suppression of a video that reveals the real Obama is for LA Lizards to cancel their subscriptions to the Slimes, never buy a copy, or ever visit their website.
I personally have not purchased a copy of the LA Slimes since they did their Thursday before election day drive-by on Schwarznegger during the Davis recall election five years ago. The Slimes circulaltion is in freefall, its pages keep shrinking, and its advertising revenue has got to be heading south at an alarming speed.
