"Mr. Khalidi is a distinguished Professor"

"The Obama campaign has not donated one penny to Mr. Khalidi"

I just emailed the LA Times; I was very succinct, respectful and non-confrontational. Now whether I owed them all of that, I do not know.

Is Suppresses a synonym for burning?

I contacted some advertisers and the LA Times this morning. Hope we help. I can't believe what's happening with the press. They are no longer journalists--now propagandists.

Protest at the LA Times office, Tuesday (tomorrow) October 28 at noon!

C'mon, somebody, arrange this!

Post the idea on other blogs.

I'm not in LA, so I can't do the "official" organizing.

I suggest starting any contact letter with "Your advertisers will receive a copy of this message." Then write your letter. Then copy the letter and send it to the advertisers with the heading "This is the public opinion of those you advertise with. It might benefit you to advertise through other channels." Just a suggestion.

I forgot to say I was very respectful.

And at the protest, make sure that no one has offensive signs! Police your fellow protesters. Stay on message.

Has anyone sent this to FNC?

FREE THE OBAMA TAPE!

Plus, Mona's group got $40k from the Woods Foundation when Obama was on its board.

Good luck!

This is good. Keep at it. I've started getting back the auto-responses from their advertisers, including one that noted rather shamefacedly that the LA Times is not currently on their advertising schedule. That, at least, took a moment's thought. People respond well to pressure.

WHAT IS THE LAT HIDING?

I contacted both the author of the article and the reader's representative. Got nothing but form letters but the important thing here is the sheer volume of complaints.

just faxed a letter. Use fax, it is more effective.

Palestinian professor's are socially promoted.

scene iii

Here's a nice little nest of facts:

In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.

Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements.

Nothing. They're scum. They've never hidden that.

Bluntly, Obama does not like Jews. He has always gravitated to anti-Semites. Think about it, this guy, Farakahn, Reverend Wright etc.
Could be from the Koranic instruction in school in Indonesia, could be the Black Liberation Theology or it could just be that he comes by it naturally.

Ah. I see it all now. It's the journalist's job to withhold and obfuscate the truth.
Damn, I'll bet Hitler is laughing his ass off in Hell right now.

re: #15 MandyManners

WHAT IS THE LAT HIDING?

I have recently started up a conversation with a couple of LAT reporters. I asked them both yesterday what was up with this. One of them e-mailed me back and said that he no longer works for LAT and if he could find out anything he would let me know. The other reporter has not yet responded to me yet. Here is what I asked them....

Dear Robin and Matt,
Because you have been so kind to actually respond to me in the past, I want to ask you both something. I understand, according to the following LA Times article, Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama, that a videotape of a meeting is being held by your newspaper and Peter Wallsten is refusing to release it.
[Link: www.latimes.com...]
“The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.”
Please look at the following website:
[Link: gatewaypundit.blogspot.com...]
According to Wallsten the evening not surprisingly turned into a classic Jew-bash:

"During the dinner a 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."

Should Wallsten release the videotape?

re: #29 musicman

Is your last sentence in that letter?

re: #15 MandyManners

Yes, I'd love to know.

The L.A. Times has been pro-Palestinian for decades now, and was even willing to lose Jewish readers (and it can't afford to lose any readers) rather than cut back on their hugs-'n-Kisses PLO articles.

The fact that they're so scared to release this video makes me think there must be more to it than just Obama being supportive of the PLO; if that were the case, they'd probably have released it already, thinking it good PR for Obama, that would probably win over more people to the Palestinian cause. I may be wrong of course. . . but it would be nice if the LAT would release it, just to clear things up.

re: #39 MandyManners

I know, I know! It really must have devolved into one heck of a Jewbash/Israelbash for them to be so squeamish about showing it!

(And, if anyone from the LAT is reading this----if we're wrong about this being a Jew/Israelbash, then release the video, prove us wrong for G-d's sake!)

Or maybe they'll claim it was all a joke. . .

Your subscription numbers dwindle day by day, and the negative affect on advertisers must sting. Want to help fix that? Do the right thing.

The national populous is questioning "The Times' journalistic standards and practices." Why? By suppressing information and lying to the public. Do the right thing and release the PLO video mentioned in the April 10, 2008 article, "Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama" by Peter Wallsten. Regardless of its impact on the election, its boost to your credibility is the right thing to do for your business.

"Celebration of Palestinian culture......"

As if it's separate and distinct from the Arab culture of 500,000,000 other people in dozens of other states.

On a related note, from Breitbart:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Newsroom staffing at the Los Angeles Times is shrinking again.

Newspaper spokeswoman Nancy Sullivan said Monday that 75 staffers are being laid off in the latest round of cuts.

She declined further comment and would not disclose how many journalists will remain at the paper.

The Times, which is owned by Chicago-based Tribune Co., reduced its overall staff by 250 people last summer, including 150 from the newsroom.

Editor Russ Stanton blamed the cutbacks on the economic slowdown.

At Khalidi's 2003 farewell party, for example, a 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."

re: #91 MandyManners

Yes, that's another trick they might pull, too.

(That's why I'm hoping there's another copy out there).

My letter to the LAT follows:

Dear Sir:

I understand that your paper is in possession of a videotape from a 2003 event in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi, who also happens to be an apologist for Palestinian terrorism. Also present at that event were Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, who both were terrorists who engaged in multiple bombings before being rehabilitated by the Chicago political scene and academia. Sen. Obama was reported to have spoken at length about Khalidi in glowing terms.

My question is how and why the paper continues to refuse releasing the contents of the full video. What is on that video that has it sequestered by the editors of the paper? The public has a right to know who Sen. Obama associates with and on whom he seeks to lavish praise. On what grounds is the paper refusing to release the details? Surely, I can think of no reason as to why the paper is refusing to release this information unless they are allowing their political leanings to cloud the judgment to report newsworthy items. The steadfast silence only heightens suspicions that the video contains information that the Obama campaign would rather not have to explain away.

There is no legitimate reason for which the video remains from public view, unless the editors have made a conscious effort to bury newsworthy information that might pose hazardous to the Obama campaign. That the paper has chosen this path makes me wonder whether the paper would take a similar position had the paper come into possession of a tape showing Sen. McCain or Gov. Palin making similar comments under similar situations. I sincerely doubt that the paper would go to such lengths to keep such video from public view had it involved Sen. McCain or Gov. Palin.

It is my sincere hope that the paper reconsider its editorial decision to sit on this video and to release it so that the American people can decide for themselves. The media is not a gatekeeper to information, but a pathway for which such information can be gathered. Continued actions to block the free flow of this information only serve to undermine the credibility of your institution and I hope that you reconsider.

Sincerely,

lawhawk

It's Not Yours to Begin With [Victor Davis Hanson]
Barack Obama when he was only 40:

His past views, his tax plan, and other spontaneous offerings ("Spread the wealth around") are a fair enough representation of a European socialist view of how to take money from higher wage earners and redistribute it to the less well off, apparently on the twin premises that one's income is really property of the state, and, that the mechanism by which a market compensates people is arbitrary and unfair and in need of 'redistributive change.'

re: #97 TalkinKamel

Great Big Lizard Johnson? Wait, that isn't an insult...

What do they know and when did they know it!?

My college kid just sent this (and sent me a copy as well):

Dear LAT Editor,

As a student at XXXX, I have been taught that a truly free vote is predicated on access to information. If information is withheld, the possibility of making an informed choice is greatly reduced.

During these last days of the election, your reporter, Peter Wallsten, has been sitting on a videotape of Barack Obama speaking at a party with left-leaning radicals. I have no idea what is in that tape, but would like to know. In all probability, it won't hurt Obama's chances of being elected.

But that's not the issue. The issue is access to information. You have the information and you are sitting on it. You are refusing to let ordinary voters make an informed decision about Obama. If there is nothing to hide, why hide it? And if there is something to hide, voters should know about it.

I am finally old enough to vote in a presidential election and want to be as informed and responsible as possible.

So please let people like me decide on the content of this videotape. Don't be like Nixon and try to withhold taped evidence.

Thank you,

Sacre blow me.

By Jonathan Alter | NEWSWEEK

In the end, the problem was the LIVs. That's short for "low-information voters,"

the three fifths of the electorate that shows up once every four years to vote for president but mostly hates politics. These are the 75 million folks who didn't vote in the primaries. They don't read newsmagazines or newspapers, don't watch any cable news and don't cast their ballots early. Their allegiance to a candidate is as easily shed as a T shirt. Several million moved to Obama through September and October; they'd heard he handled himself well in the debates. Then, in the last week, the LIVs swung back to the default choice: John McCain. Some had good reasons other than the color of Obama's skin to desert him; many more did not. In October, a study by the Associated Press estimated that Obama's race would cost him 6 percent.

Obama has gone from about 6.0 percent lead on 21 oct to a 2.8 percent lead today -- Obama is slipping, folks.

re: #1 WrathofG-d

"Mr. Khalidi is a distinguished Professor"

Ah yes, Professor of Seething

A good synopsis of what an Obama Administration would bring:

The Europeanization of America

1.The U.S. military will withdraw from Iraq quickly and substantially, regardless of conditions on the ground or the obvious consequence of emboldening terrorists there and around the globe.
2.Protectionism will become our national trade policy; free trade agreements with other nations will be reduced and limited.
3.Income taxes will rise on middle- and upper-income people and businesses, and individuals will pay much higher Social Security taxes, all to carry out the new president's goals of "spreading the wealth around."
4.Federal government spending will substantially increase. The new Obama proposals come to more than $300 billion annually, for education, health care, energy, environmental and many other programs, in addition to whatever is needed to meet our economic challenges. Mr. Obama proposes more than a 10% annual spending growth increase, considerably higher than under the first President Bush (6.7%), Bill Clinton (3.3%) or George W. Bush (6.4%).
5.Federal regulation of the economy will expand, on everything from financial management companies to electricity generation and personal energy use.
6.The power of labor unions will substantially increase, beginning with repeal of secret ballot voting to decide on union representation.
7.Free speech will be curtailed through the reimposition of the Fairness Doctrine to limit the conservative talk radio that so irritates the liberal establishment.

"Obama was and is unstoppable," the official said. "Please, God, let him win," he added.

[snip]

"It would be hard to find anybody, I think, at the U.N. who would not believe that Obama would be a considerable improvement over any other alternative," said William H. Luers, executive director of the United Nations Association. "It's been a bad eight years, and there is a lot of bad feeling over it."

[snip]

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has avoided showing a public preference about the presidential campaign -- although he has hinted at a soft spot for Obama in private gatherings, according to U.N. officials.

"We do not consider him an African American," said Congo's U.N. ambassador, Atoki Ileka. "We consider him an African."

Kofi Annan, the first black U.N. secretary general, said the prospect of an Obama presidency would be "phenomenal."

Sean Hannity is now speaking about this. Problem is, the undecided voters probably don't listen to much conservative talk radio.

Its true, but there is "leakage".

People talk at work, around the proverbial "watercooler", in public places, etc. Getting this information out to the general public isn't easy, but every bit helps.

Part of my letter:

Of course, it’s possible that the LA Times does not want this to be seen this close to the election because the LA Times endorses Obama and anything like this could be damaging to his campaign. Of course, you begrudgingly endorsed McCain as the Republican candidate, but is it now very apparent that the LA Times is essentially working in favor of Obama by keeping this truth hidden. If the truth continues to be hidden, as the LA Times refuses to make this video public, your journalistic credibility will be destroyed in my mind and the mind of everyone I speak to about your paper.

I subscribe to the LA Times and have always enjoyed your paper, despite the obvious left-leaning bias that shows up in front-page pieces subtitled “News Analysis.” I’ve always appreciated the balance shown on your editorial page by columnists, though not necessarily by the editor. It is deeply shameful that any news organization would knowingly keep the truth hidden as you currently are with this Rashid Khalidi video. I will be cancelling my subscription unless you change this behavior and release the video.

I subscribe to this rag, but probably not too much longer.

Just got an email from a friend that was an obamabot. She said she is just not voting. That's ok with me. Although I wish she would vote for McCain, a no vote for obamalama is ok. She was a major Zerobot but with all the emails I've sent at least I got through to her.

ATLANTA (AP) — Federal judges have ordered Georgia elections officials to stop using Social Security numbers and driver's licenses to check voters' immigration status until the U.S. Justice Department decides whether to approve the process.

Georgia is one of several states that needs federal approval before changing election policy because of a history of discriminatory voting practices.

The three-judge panel's 27-page ruling Monday orders Georgia officials to make "diligent and immediate" efforts to notify voters who have been flagged as ineligible.

It also blocks the state from removing flagged names from voter lists unless voters say in writing that they are ineligible.

You should send that article to Dennis Prager, he likes to highlight the anti-smoking zealotry.

re: #253 SeafoodGumbo

Great research. I simply don't have time to organize it -- it'll have to be up to you.

But I know how these things work. Someone just has to announce the time definitively, and everyone will jump on board. That could be you. Don't wait around for some organizer to set up the time. Just decide when and where the protest will be, and start sending it around! Hopefully it will snowball on its own.

It has to be immediate, the sooner the better. Too late for today, so I suggest tomorrow, during lunchtime -- 12 noon - 1pm. In front of the LA Times office. After work is too late, I think, though it is a possibility.

Just post it at Free Republic or somewhere and let it take on a life of its own.

re: #256 zombie

Wouldn't tomorrow be too soon? Wouldn't Wednesday be better so that people can get a heads-up?

Let me give it an hour or two to hear back from all of the people I emailed. They have organized protests in LA before and would know locations and times that are suitable. I'm in LA, only the LA is Louisiana, not Los Angeles.

Let me see what I head back and then I'll plan the next step.

McCain and Palin are on record as hating Stevens but the MSM will not credit them.

If he only had a couple hundred thousand frozen in his freezer, he would have been OK.

Oh yeah, and if he had a D after his name.

Since he doesn't...24/7 news coverage linking him to McCain!

If anyone is forced to release the tape, will that mean the suppression of the fact that Obama attended Columbia - taking Middle Eastern Studies in the early 80's - all the while, once again, sharing the neighborhood w/Ayers - this time NYC - might be lifted?

Obama has steadfastly refused to discuss his days at Columbia.

You must be proud of your child: that's the future of America talking.

Charles: Let's don't let them get away with it?

Charles, they don't CARE about truth!
If they did care about truth they wouldn't be winning right now.
But they have thwarted all attempts by anyone to debunk anything they have that is untrue by simply not caring.
The 0bama constituency is made up of 96% of all black voters and also includes easily 90+% of all voters on the dole.
Another huge chunk are voters whose job it is to dole out the dole.
Then there are ''teachers.''

Meanwhile those who oppose him include many so ideologically driven as to sit on their hands rather than see a moderate like McCain win.
We lose.
I just hope your site isn't shut down in the waves of United Nations hate speech laws soon to be enforced here by 0bama and his national security forces.
