Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group
JERUSALEM
Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director on the board of a nonprofit organization that granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe."
The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department.
Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi has at times denied working directly for the PLO, he reportedly served as director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, a period during which the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group.
While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time contact with Obama, there is evidence of a deeper relationship between the presidential hopeful and Khalidi.
According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the senator first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003; Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.
Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."
In addition to questions about his relationship with Khalidi, Obama may face increased scrutiny over his ties to William C. Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground terrorist group that sought to overthrow the U.S. government and took responsibility for a string of bombings in the early 1970’s.
Obama served on the Woods Fund board alongside Ayers (who is still on the board). Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has written about his involvement with the Weather Underground’s bombing of U.S. governmental buildings including the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972.
Although charges against him were dropped in 1974 due to prosecutorial misconduct, Ayers told a newspaper reporter several years ago that he had no second thoughts about his violent past. "I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough," Ayers told The New York Times in an interview published, ironically, on Sept. 11, 2001.
In his memoir, Fugitive Days, Ayers wrote: "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon" – though he continued with a disclaimer that he didn’t personally set the bombs but his group placed the explosives and planned the attack.
Besides serving with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at several public speaking engagements.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is the craziest election year since I’ve been voting age. The democrat party is pro Arab Islamic state in Israel in general and anti Christian and Jewish in works also. So of course they will do what Europe does as they are pro UN and anti American sovereignty anyway.
They all hate America in their love of perverse diveristy and the world citizen under totalitarion and cruel one world government is their end, even if they don’t think it is.
Run a candidate that has a Muslim name.
Run that candidate with the Muslim name with a Muslim background.
Run that candidate with the Muslim name and Muslim background with pro-Muslim connections.
Run that same candidate with those same connections in the U.S. during a war in which U.S. is battling Islam.
And do it during a time in U.S. history when the battle cry is diversity, multiculturalism, and nonjudgmentalism.
Run a candidate that is immune to ALL criticism of any kind, because to criticize would make you a racist, AND THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN THAT in today's modern life.
I hope America's sense of nationalism and self-preservation kicks in in time.

Khalidi is an idiot! That is NOT a reason to support someone for President. That's only one piece of pie. You MUST look at the whole pie.
This election isn't making us look any good to the rest of the world and most of the blame lies with the liberal media and their terrible tactics to push out the "real" candidates who have any substance to them.
Remember, Bubba had his double agent spy economics teacher and Obamanation has Khalidi.
Think about it.

This is good to know. There has got to be more of this out there too. Obama is a closet moslem and will be responsible for the demise of our country if he is elected.
So far he has promised to spend us into bankruptcy via overpriced entitlement programs from all the extra money he will glean from super down sizing the Military.
This man is too dangerous to be ignored

This Obama is as stinky as a three holer latrine. I hope enough of this stink gets publicised to take some of the sheen off his cultish costume.
The Democrat Party is so far left that it makes Putin look moderate. The Liberal agenda has a powerful base in the MSM, academia, the entertainment industry, special interest groups like unions and minorities and in globalists who pay for power in both political partys.
What is left of the Stupid Party gets it's votes from the heartland of patriotic, tax paying, honest citizens who are too individualistic and too busy to band together and spend time to try to influence politicians.
The sheer numbers of special interest groups including legal and illegal immigrants who don't want to assimilate is beginning to outnumber the old time American who built this country to the greatness it has achieved. Crooked, self serving politicians with covert agendas are playing to these special interest groups with promises of great(socialized) handouts from the almighty Federal Government.

Hussein, Hussein, Hussein, Arabic meaning "good" or "handsome" commonly used as a male given name among Muslims. Like the leopard he can't change his spots, he can only hide them in the shade, like the Dome of the Rock or the Trojan Horse it's what's inside his Church and him that is dangerous.
What a thing was this, too, which that mighty man [Odysseus] wrought and endured in the carven horse, where in all we chiefs of the Argives were sitting, bearing to the Trojans death and fate!. He be one!!!

If Barack Obama becomes President we won't need a 9/11 like commission to know what went wrong when the Islamic Caliphate and Islamofascist terrorist sh*t hits the fan in the United States and western world.
9/11 will be small potatoes compared to the death and destruction that would follow an Obama (or even Clinton) presidency.

If he gets elected in November, does that mean BET will be the Presidential News Network ?

Lynn this election is an embarassment, and now the dems will argue about Florida and Mich. It is funny but at the same time things like Obama says and his wife and how they disrespect America that really is more horrible then I can say.

drstrangeloveb52isok , lol yes that is the math. Good one!
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 6, 2008 07:38 PM
Mark, you are right, and I bet there is more out there we don't know about yet. Maybe as time goes by the information will leak out like this did. Obama is no innocent bystander with the terrorist lovers, not at all.

Tom I hope so so much. Can you imagine ( well ok it is a dream) but if our media really gave the news, really told the truth and put this information out there even just as an for information purposes, oh my gosh.

Jack wow thanks.

Les, I wonder if he will pass laws pro Islam, of course he will say he is not a Muslim but his advisors are and his influence sure as heck is and his connections too.

Mark, hahahahaha probably. I forgot about that channel.

Jeremiah 13:23 - Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.
