Dad: FACT not fiction

Here's one for you to refute.   Be open-minded here, no spin.

The LA Times is refusing to release a tape of Obama celebrating with an anti-Israeli Palestine group.

So much for our free and unbiased press, huh?  Kind of brings into question everything we base our beliefs on, doesn't it?

L.A. Times Holding Video of Obama Praising Rashid Khalidi - Posted on October 26, 2008 by Nancy

Just when you think it can't get worse, the media sinks lower.  It seems the Los Angeles Times is sitting on a video of Barack Obama at a 2003 dinner honoring Rashid Khalidi, Israeli critic and defender of Palestinian rights. The full story can be found here.

Obama praised Khalidi during the event and stayed through the anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish sentiments expressed by others.  Some other associations between the two men include:

• Khalidi, described as a former PLO spokesman, threw a fundraiser for Obama in 2000
• The Obamas were frequent dinner guests of the Khalidis
• Obama funneled about $75,000 to Khalidi's anti-Israeli Arab American Action Network through his work at the Woods Foundation

A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases… It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."
