Columbia Univ. Director Replies to Request for Khalidi Tape: 'Yeah, Right ... Loser'

Politics | Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 4:54:58 pm PST

An LGF reader contacted Columbia University (and a lot of other potential sources, including the LA Times) with a polite request that they help release the tape of Rashid Khalidi with Barack Obama (the video the Los Angeles Times has ... unbelievably ... decided to suppress during a hotly contested election):

From: [redacted]
To: [redacted]
Sent: Mon Oct 27 18:28:41 2008
Subject: Please release Khalidi’s 2003 tape

Dear Madam or Sir,

It has come to my attention that the LA Times in in possession of a tape recording a 2003 farewell party for Rashid Khalidi. In an article, the LA Times said:

“The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.”

This event was attended by Senator Barrack Obama. As this is an election period, as journalists, you have the moral obligation to release any and all information you possess about both candidates.

I would be grateful if you can release the videotape. It’s our right as Americans to learn about our candidates.

Cordially,
[redacted]

The outrageous response he received, from a director of Columbia University’s Business School:

Subject: Re: Please release Khalidi’s 2003 tape
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:02:41 -0400
From: [redacted]
To: [redacted]

Yeah, right...loser

May be it is naivety but sometimes simple solution is not the worst one.
There are thousands viewers here.
Give the rest to your computer. Take the phone, call your friends,convince them simply go to vote and call their friends with the same message.
It takes only eight steps and a few hours to spread the message to all.
It could change turnout from 64(?)% to 84.

Being from Israel myself, its extremely upsetting the level of ignorance demonstrated by American Jews in their regard for Israel...I have a number of Jewish friends who could care less about the country. Judging from history, all of them are going to find out sooner or later that they can't abandon Israel and assimilate into society. Jews have never been able to assimilate into a particular culture, and its not about to start here. Hopefully they soon get their wake up call.

See, I blame the distance and such from their history- many American Jews are so far removed from the immigrant experience, and the hate and violence that brought them to America.

My dad was an American Jew, and a proud Zionist. He saw no disconnect between the 2.

But he was not all up in the higher ed, and well, the Jews in THAT realm. . .are not like my family. We are blue collar, military serving, assimulated to some degree, but proud Zionist Jews. We never 'struggled" with the question of should Israel exist- just the question of how to support and protect her. . .

Being from Israel myself, its extremely upsetting the level of ignorance demonstrated by American Jews in their regard for Israel...I have a number of Jewish friends who could care less about the country. Judging from history, all of them are going to find out sooner or later that they can't abandon Israel and assimilate into society. Jews have never been able to assimilate into a particular culture, and its not about to start here. Hopefully they soon get their wake up call.

Allow me to coin a new acronym.

See, I blame the distance and such from their history- many American Jews are so far removed from the immigrant experience, and the hate and violence that brought them to America.

My dad was an American Jew, and a proud Zionist. He saw no disconnect between the 2.

But he was not all up in the higher ed, and well, the Jews in THAT realm. . .are not like my family. We are blue collar, military serving, assimulated to some degree, but proud Zionist Jews. We never 'struggled" with the question of should Israel exist- just the question of how to support and protect her. . .

Tried to "+" you, but LGF is acting strange for me. Yeha the Media always has tilted Left, but I don't believe that it has ever been this blatent about it. It really is like they think after this election they won't have to worry about what kind of terms they are on with the Right.

I hope they are wrong. Correction, I know they are wrong, it is just what kind of conversation we are with having the Media after this. we won't go away easily or quitely. Have you ever read Soltzhenitsyn? there is a good footnote early in Gulag Archipelego that talks about why the Russians didn't resist Stalin. He concludes that they didn't love freedom enough. I think we do love freedom enough.

And we are starting o9ut in a whole lot better taqctical position than the Russians had in 1930.

These psychos have made Obama into what George Washington refused to be. "The One". "Messiah". In all seriousness, these terms are obscenities in the face of the only thing that has really brought hope and change in the history of the world: The idea of a representative Democracy "of the people, by the people, and for the people"; People who have inalienable rights. No people ever even tried to do this before the United States. Obama, and all those who support him, want to destroy it, because they do not really want to see a thriving middle class who has the capability of achieving anything.

Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory; by Tim Reid, The Times of London: “Confident in an Election Day win, the campaign looks to lower supporters' expectations on concerns their hopes of 'change' are unrealistic, a senior aide says “Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harbouring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.” “One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, imediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair”

Uh oh, Obama supporters still have to pay for gas and their mortgages. They aren't gonna like that. Hey, I bet they don't even know he won't actually be President till January 20th.
Well, at least they gotta pay until that first day when he is sworn in.

Back in the winter of 2004, I spent a weekend crashing at Ayers’ house. ..

...The whole weekend was a political awakening for me, and I began to understand just exactly whose house I was staying in. Ayers drove us all over Chicago — he showed us the statue in Haymarket Square that he bombed in 1969. The city rebuilt the statue in May 1970, and he bombed it again six months later. The statue was dedicated to fallen police officers who were killed during a clash with labor supporters during the 1886 Haymarket riot...

What ever happened to the grown-ups?

So far today, I've dealt with attacks from people almost as old as my parents, calling Republicans "scum," me a racist hatemonger, and a "christian freakshow."

Just when I was about to throw in the towel, I noticed that the calendar hanging in the dry cleaner's shop featured Norman Rockwell prints of kids. I flipped through it and thought about the way life used to be, when my parents were kids, when nobody thought it would kill a kid to have them pump and carry water, or to fish, or play outside with (GASP) nothing more than a ball to entertain themselves.

My dry cleaner is Korean. I have probably posted here before, but he is the best American I know. Good product, fair price, service with a smile.

I refuse to believe that all is lost as long as we can still remember a better time (maybe not wealthier, but better). We may have to count out the older jackass baby boomers like Exhibit A here as a lost cause, but the younger generation can still grow up, learn some civility, and take responsibility for their own lives.

A cheerful take from one of instapundit's readers: I pretty much concur.


Trouble is – when the evil folk who earn more than $250K fail to provide the necessary dollars to fulfill the dreams of The One, the sliding scale of evil will appear. Soon, those who earn $175K and then those who earn $105K will be identified as evil and have their property confiscated.

The story is always the same. The socialist/communist/fascist state destroys the productivity of the middle class, confiscates the fruit of their labor and enforces a two class system – the many (who labor to support the State), and the few – The One, his family and his chosen disciples (who enjoy the power, status and wealth that the State provides).

There is no such thing as simply slowing down and enjoying the dole.

The thief comes to kill and steal and destroy. That’s it.

I've spoken to black Dems like this woman - they are incredibly credulous.The Dems, and excuse me for being non-PC, are the Big Pimp Daddy - all good flows therefrom.

Example - I had a discussion on tax when I bought cigs. I mentioned that the cig tax had been raised to two bucks per pack. She said something that made me ask "you do know who raises taxes, right?" She smiled and said Republicans - as if she expected me to pin a rose on her. I explained that the state reps AND the gov. are Dems and that they raised the tax. She looked pained and then said "But - I'm a Democrat!" I said "So am I." (The fact that I'm a Dem is my ace in the hole in these little discussions). It is NOT that she is in any way stupid - she lives in the Peoples' Republic of Maryland and is totally brainwashed. Well, not totally, if I had any impact.

So, if you know a Columbia U grad, alum, or current student, let them and their parents know what kind of institution they're dealing with. This is the same institution that runs the Columbia Journalism School, and which happens to administer the Pulitzer Prize.

Your standard response when getting calls from their alumni department asking for donations or other solicitations should be short, sweet, and to the point.

Yeah, right. Loser.

If they get all uptight, refer them here to this email response. Tell them that the incredible unprofessional attitude of the Director speaks volumes as to the integrity and professionalism of the university, which is to say that it stinks (and that's putting it mildly).

Back in the winter of 2004, I spent a weekend crashing at Ayers’ house. ..

...The whole weekend was a political awakening for me, and I began to understand just exactly whose house I was staying in. Ayers drove us all over Chicago — he showed us the statue in Haymarket Square that he bombed in 1969. The city rebuilt the statue in May 1970, and he bombed it again six months later. The statue was dedicated to fallen police officers who were killed during a clash with labor supporters during the 1886 Haymarket riot...

There's hardly ever a reason to respond to someone saying "Yeah, right... loser," unless that person is offering to cut you in on a fabulous but secretive opportunity to aid his uncle, the crown prince of Nigeria.

There are a couple of odd things about this email, though. I'm sure Shouman, as a poster here, can help me understand them.

First, I'm unclear why he's writing to the Business School at Columbia to demand that they "as journalists" release the tape.

Second, I'm unsure that the Columbia guy's response was necessarily sent to Shouman. Notice which email addresses are redacted.

Third, I take issue with Shouman's insinuation that the people have a 'right' to the videotape. He couches it in language about learning about candidates, but it's clear what he means. To which I say: No. You don't have a 'right' to that tape. Just like many other people don't have 'rights' they claim every day. What you have is a right to cancel your subscription to the LA Times, or to refuse to send your child to Columbia.

And lastly: If the LA Times doesn't truly have a deal in place with their source, they should give up the tape immediately or be punished with widespread subscription cancellations.

There's hardly ever a reason to respond to someone saying "Yeah, right... loser," unless that person is offering to cut you in on a fabulous but secretive opportunity to aid his uncle, the crown prince of Nigeria.

There are a couple of odd things about this email, though. I'm sure Shouman, as a poster here, can help me understand them.

First, I'm unclear why he's writing to the Business School at Columbia to demand that they "as journalists" release the tape.

Second, I'm unsure that the Columbia guy's response was necessarily sent to Shouman. Notice which email addresses are redacted.

Third, I take issue with Shouman's insinuation that the people have a 'right' to the videotape. He couches it in language about learning about candidates, but it's clear what he means. To which I say: No. You don't have a 'right' to that tape. Just like many other people don't have 'rights' they claim every day. What you have is a right to cancel your subscription to the LA Times, or to refuse to send your child to Columbia.

And lastly: If the LA Times doesn't truly have a deal in place with their source, they should give up the tape immediately or be punished with widespread subscription cancellations.

F*ck you Cognito .... didn't Senator Government say the public had the "right" to see Ryan's divorce papers .....You will always find an excuse ...if Senator Government and his Chicago Thugs had not forced the issue with the divorce papers he would not even be a Senator ....

new arrival to my inbox:

'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

"On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi"
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note -
If you don't want socialism
Get out and vote!

re: #192 DisturbedEma

I blame the lack of knowledge about history, if more Jews read David Wyman, they would vote differently. . .

Ehh...I really don't know. Perhaps it could be a fault of the parents for not educating their children about Jewish history?

My parents both grew up in Soviet Russia, and they left in '89 for Hungary (as well as my Dads brother) the first chance they got. Once in Budapest, my parents and my dads brother and his family had a choice - go to Israel, or go to the United States. My parents knew hardly anything about Israel, but they went anyway - perhaps because of a desire to be amongst their own [my mother experienced a lot of antisemitism growing up in Russia]). My dad's brother decided to go to Cleveland...

Flash forward 20 years: My dads brothers family are...stinking liberals. They pretend to give a shit about Israel...but they really don't. Its reflected in their son (my cousin). I talk to him and he admits to not paying any attention to Israel or how an Obama presidency would affect Israel...very upsetting.

Another thought:

I was a British resident in 1992 and allowed to vote (oh, the irony!). EVERYBODY thought that Labour would oust the Conservatives. I voted anyway since I had the right to do so.
I woke up to the surprise of hearing that John Major had held on to power.

I do agree that the MSM is bizarrely "uncurious" about that statement, but I don't think it's a proposal for a paramilitary force. It's something both less immediately scary, but more ambitious, in a way. See here.

Truth be told.

Obama said the words.

Anyone can speculate about what they mean.

However,

consider Obama's history and associates.

Did they say words that they then carried out, to the letter?

re: #230 lawhawk

So, if you know a Columbia U grad, alum, or current student, let them and their parents know what kind of institution they're dealing with. This is the same institution that runs the Columbia Journalism School, and which happens to administer the Pulitzer Prize.

Your standard response when getting calls from their alumni department asking for donations or other solicitations should be short, sweet, and to the point.

Yeah, right. Loser.

If they get all uptight, refer them here to this email response. Tell them that the incredible unprofessional attitude of the Director speaks volumes as to the integrity and professionalism of the university, which is to say that it stinks (and that's putting it mildly).

Following the link provided by Mark up-thread, I composed a polite e-mail, and sent it Sidney Jackson, suggesting I would use what little influence I may have with my contacts in the oil industry against their hiring MBAs from Columbia. My influence is pretty damn microscopic, but hopefully he will come to realize that there may be others out there who do have serious influence, and these people are not amused.

And if it subsequently proves that Mr. Jackson did not in fact write that snarky e-mail, well then, I guess I will have to apologize. I'm pretty certain, though, that our host has done his due diligence.

Berkeley, land of happy T-shirts

At a pro-Obama event in Berkeley a few days ago, I spotted these two T-shirts:

[pic]
Here’s a woman showing her love for Fallujah, the one-time Al Qaeda stronghold in Iraq. And if you think she’s showing her support for the new democratic pacified Fallujah, dream on. I’m quite sure the shirt is a souvenir from 2004, when siding with the “insurgents” in Fallujah against American troops was de rigeuer in Berkeley.

[pic]
Here she is paying a visit to the “Department of Peace” booth set up by some Obama supporters.

[pic]
A couple minutes later, leaving the event, I ran into this guy with his “Defend Oakland” shirt featuring a sub-machine gun. And no, he’s not talking about defending it from criminals — he’s talking about defending it from the police. The slogan and and the concept are left over from the Black Panther era.

Apparently, he never learned the principle of,

"If you can't think of anything intelligent to say, shut up."

Or else, he thinks he's so brilliant that he believes everything he says should be recorded for posterity. (Rather like Nero having scribes follow him around to record his brilliant insights on any and all subjects, even or especially when he was drunk.)

And it seems to be rubbing off on The One, as in his remark this morning about McCain being GWB's "sidekick", "Like Kato was with the Green Lantern."

My guess is, you don't have to be a total comic-book geek (like I was OUAT) to spot this one- anyone who remembers Bruce Lee would point out that Kato was the Green Hornet's partner.

Now imagine The One or The Doofus saying something this wonky in a summit meeting.

Treasury submits to Shariah

The U.S. Treasury Department is submitting to Shariah - the seditious religio-political-legal code authoritative Islam seeks to impose worldwide under a global theocracy.

As reported in this space last week, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Robert Kimmitt set the stage with his recent visit to Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Persian Gulf states. His stated purpose was to promote the recycling of petrodollars in the form of foreign investment here.

Evidently, the price demanded by his hosts is that the U.S. government get with the Islamist financial program. While in Riyadh, Mr. Kimmitt announced: "The U.S. government is currently studying the salient features of Islamic banking to ascertain how far it could be useful in fighting the ongoing world economic crisis."

"Islamic banking" is a euphemism for a practice better known as "Shariah-Compliant Finance (SFC)." And it turns out that this week the Treasury will be taking officials from various federal agencies literally to school on SFC.

The department is hosting a half-day course entitled "Islamic Finance 101" on Thursday at its headquarters building. Treasury's self-described "seminar for the policy community" is co-sponsored with the leading academic promoters of Shariah and SCF in the United States: Harvard University Law School's Project on Islamic Finance. At the very least, the U.S. government evidently hopes to emulate Harvard's success in securing immense amounts of Wahhabi money in exchange for conforming to the Islamists' agenda. Like Harvard, Treasury seems utterly disinterested in what Shariah actually is, and portends.

I get the Idea that this is more "Hitler Youth" than it is SS, but the concept still bothers me. I didn't (and don't) like the militarization of the Federal Police that we saw in the Clinton Administration. Certainly, there have at least been fewer bold fuck ups under Bush than they were under Clinton, but the potential for abuse is still there.

And there is absolutly nothing about Obama to give me reason to think he won't abuse it. He already seems to have a really nasty habit of going after anyone who disagrees with him (c.f. "Joe the Plumber"). An enlarged civillian force, even without direct police power, is certainly suspecet in the hands of such an individual.

....or a really ticked off ewe.

Made me think of Italian hero Fabrizio Quattrocchi.

How an Italian Dies.

Captured along with three other Italians working in Iraq as private security guards, then murdered by terrorists in April of 2004, Fabrizio Quattrocchi ruined the video his executioners were recording. Instead of allowing himself to be put to death cowering like a sheep, Quattrocchi pulled the hood from his face, faced the video camera, and said defiantly: Adesso (or ora) vi faccio vedere come muore un italiano! [Now I will show you how an Italian dies!].

He was shot in the back of the neck, but Al Jazeera never broadcast the video, claiming hypocritically that it was “too gruesome.”

"Every farsighted patriot should protest first of all against the growth in this country of that evil thing which is called 'class consciousness.' The demagogues, the sinister or foolish socialist visionary who strives to arouse this feeling of class consciousness in our working people, does a foul and evil thing; for he is no true American, he is no self-respecting citizen of this Republic."

I'm so glad you mentioned that because many of us gentiles cannot imagine how the Jews became so compliant with their murderers . Now more of us understand.

Good. Now maybe you can explain it to me.

Perhaps someone wanting to send a polite response... or maybe a more thoughtfully reasoned argument... can find Sidney Jackson at this CBS directory.

ciaospirit (#349),

I voted absentee by mail. Now I'm worried my vote is going to end up "lost." Has anyone ever followed up on their vote to see if it was counted?

Tampering with the mail is a Federal offense.

When I was working at the post office I saw a station manager go ape-shit crazy on a carrier when he found out that he wasn't taking mail to the top stories of an apartment building the day before the T7 had his route so he wouldn't have to climb stairs one day a week.

Not to worry.

I hope Bush gives Auntie a pardon. What I want from Barry is a rough guess as to how much of the money he raised came from foreigners.

Why should she get a pardon? ... really, why? ... what makes her different ....

Sidney L. Jackson, Papers, 1935-79

definitely

I'm having a hard time finding ol' Sidney on Columbia's current staff.

Not saying he's not there -- I'm just poking around.

re: #395 legalpad

One great question about this civilian national security force is, will it be just as expensive as our military that it is going to be equal to?

who cares? An ObamaSchutzstaffel is a bad idea whether or not they pay $500 for toilet seats.

I like Frank Luntz, but not as a guy. The focus groups are important when you are trying and figure out how to sell an idea or campaign issue to select groups of voters. I don't think it is an exact science, but the dial-meter just graphically represents how people respond to certain issues. IMO, that info is valuable to a campaign.

Boxes of ab. ballots have been known to be picked up by fishermen in SF Bay.
But, not lately.

Well that didn't make me feel any better! I tell ya. I'm working so many hours I'm tired as shit, but I still feel bad that I couldn't do more for the cause.

Instead of watching TV, I'm listening to Christmas music. The message is uplifting and is helping me keep perspective. And the music, of course, is some of the most beautiful ever composed.

I ran into this guy with his “Defend Oakland” shirt featuring a sub-machine gun

Zombie, zombie, zombie... [shaking head in disappointment]... a Kalashnikov is not a "sub machinegun".

It looks like Norm Coleman will pull out a squeaker over the whack job Al Franken. I'll take any sliver of good news at this point.

re: #402 zombie

That's five zomblog posts already in just one day -- with two more more still lined up ready to go!

Never before has there been such a blitz of zomblog postings.

I realized that I had to upload all my remaining election-themed stuff today, or it would be useless and irrelevant.

Put the remaining ones up after the election for half price.
