LA Times Suppresses Damaging Obama PLO Video Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 3:15 pm Posted by Steven in Presidential Election In April 2008, the Los Angeles Times indicated they were in possession of a videotape showing Barack Obama at a party in honor of former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi. Terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn were also in attendance, and Khalidi lavished praise upon Obama as a friend of the Palestinian cause. At Khalidi’s going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. “You will not have a better senator under any circumstances,” Khalidi said. The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times. Since then, the LA Times has stubbonly refused to release the videotape or provide any more information about its contents. The American people have a right to know about Barack Obama’s allegiances. Several blogs are stepping up the calls on the LA Times to release the tape and give Americans all the information that’s out there while choosing our next President. Contacting the LA Times seems to be fruitless. Readers are urged to contact companies that advertise in the LA Times and impress upon them the importance of a fair press. UPDATE: Can O’Reilly shame the LA Times into releasing the tape? Video below. bucksright.com

One of the main differences ts, is that most Americans don't take kindly to having a politician, a group of politicians, or the government take money from their pocket and giving it to others with less. Most people, even in the lower income ranges, do give money to those less fortunate than themselves. They DO NOT have to give money to someone else if they don't want to. Unless Obama changes that dynamic. We will have serious trouble if that is mandated here. Most of us do believe in making the pie larger, not that the pie won't/can't ever get bigger. The American Dream is that we can all succeed....ON OUR OWN MERITS and SKILL SET, and WORK! America is one of the most generous countries on earth. Most of us don't believe in Socialism/Communism/Marxism or for that matter, any of the -ism's of yesteryear. If Bill Gates and Paul Allen hadn't started their little business, and if government had taxed it out of the universe in the early years....hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have jobs, both there, and in other related industries. Millions of people world wide have been helped because Microsoft grew, grew, grew.....and so many other companies like them did as well. The Pie Got BIGGER. Gates formed a Foundation, and anyone can see that Hundreds of Millions of dollars have been given to people around the world.... The Socialist/Marxist idea failed. Freedom works. More countries should try it.
