SHOCKING NEW OBAMA EDWARD SAID THE ARAB CONNECTION

[mmayermcknight]

Yep, we are now at a point when a Christian intellectual giant is equated to radical islam extremits.

[Mchrian140]

this is pure bigotry

[TheUptownuprising]

quit spreading mistruth and disinformation

[tommyauback]

This is worse than Hitlers antisemitic propaganda.

Obama has never stood up for the Palestinians.

Israel is Nazi-Germany of today

Why should Palestinians pay for German crimes??????????

USA is turning into a Nazi state

[The911watch]

This video is ridiculous. Edward Said "a radical islamist"???

Please remove this video, its just racist and dumb, and a waste of time.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

Edward Said was a socialist. He did not believe in the god of nationalism or tribalism or Islamicism, Zionism, Evangelical Christian radicals etc... He believed in secular unity.

I know that sounds horrible for Israel which does not believe in equality. Edward Said

was born a Christian, but did not follow religion. He championed Palestinian rights, and Israel championed and defended its oppression of another people. Why do people defend that?

[Humanist000]

hehehehe  this video is hilarious..doesn't have anything to do with reality...all obvious lies..

[sajoseph2005]

Edward Said an 'Islamist'??? The late Edward Said was an Anglican Christian. Ali Abunimah is the most moderate Palestinian. Any decent human being, be it Christian, Muslim or Jew, will not accept the inhuman practices of the State of Israel.

[Hoxification]

A moron posted this

[MCRdavid]

i think Said would call this "orientalism". learn some facts maybe...

[ksunde1]

Edward Said is the most fair-minded, wise, humanitarian, INTELLIGENT person to ever speak about this dilemma, and the Israeli Daniel Barenboim is his partner-in-deed. Thank everyone's God if President Obama had the privilege to speak with him. The video is stupidity magnified - get a brain!

[ksunde1]

Edward Said is the most fair-minded, wise, humanitarian, INTELLIGENT person to ever speak about this dilemma, and the Israeli Daniel Barenboim is his partner-in-deed. This video is a disgrace.

[Arabman666]

I love republicans.

They're the only ones that'll call A Christian Palestinian human-rights advocate, a radical-Islamic-terrorist. lol : )

[debbiejayn]

The comments ar far more credible than the video. Rashid Khalidi? I've read 4 of his books! Said, 3 books. So grateful I had them to turn to for some truth.

[SocietyofSpectacle]

This video is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off

[emcgallowglass]

What exactly is unsavoury about the great Said, or for that matter being pro-Palestinian ?. To suggest that Said is a radical of any sort is to prove that you have never taken the time to read any of his works.

If, as I fear you (The poster) have difficulty reading you may find his lectures available on youtube helpful.

Obama's association with Said only enhances my view of him.

[kurd4u]

what a preposterous video, edward said was the most humble, intelligent and tolerant man in the arab world. Oh btw edward said was a christian arab. bloody red necks.

[Ayapali]

HAHAHA ignorent, islamophobic,anti-Palestinian and extremely stupid.

P.S Edward Said is Christian

[demammoet]

Lol, i want those 2 minutes of my life back.

Friggin gossip withh a god awefull background tune.

Ohh big friggin laugh about your utter incorrect info.

Edward Said that radical terrorist you talk of comes from a palestinian Christian family.

Yeh thats right not every arab has a beard a turban and and a sword in his hand shouting JIHAD!!!

[EricColvin]

Edward Said a "radical Islamist"? Sheesh!

[khan197khan]

"And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you."

(1 Samuel 15:28)

[khan197khan]

the LORD will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and scatter them beyond the Euphra'tes, because they have made their Ashe'rim, provoking the LORD to anger.

(1 Kings 14:15)

[PalestinianSpartan]

Edward said is a Christian! He is a Great intellectual and activist for Human rights.

[PalestinianPopArt]

to the video poster: you're such an idiot! I've never knew Obama was that good before, you really implement the rightest tools for the wrongest purposes, just like all your zionists and racist fellows. What can I say, idiot.

[langlade100]

So, good. Obama is for the people of Palestine. So are a lot of Jews. So are a lot of Israeli and American Jews. Edward Said was a great man.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to shout to the rightwing in my country (the U.S.):

What's wrong with you people - don't you care about human suffering? don't you care about equality? and, if you don't, how can you call yourselves Americans?

[Watcher6868]

Extremely ineffective video, full of wrong facts! I am surprised that Youtube allows a genius like the one who made this video to actually post it. Min Kell 3a'loo??!!

I actually think that the video maker must be nominated for The Academy of Farts and Sciences Award under the "Fools" category [or something equivalent]. Well done! Obama Won!

[HumanRightsRevolutin]

Edward Said is a terrorist who happens not to be a Muslim?? Wow I'm shocked. Let's disregard the intellectual community based on this video & the proof that U have offered. I don't even know where to begin thanking U, so please excuse me I won't. Ur comments read like an open book, exposing the racist mind set & mentality U possess. Ur afraid of what Obama brings to the table after dealing with Bush & the war on evil 4 eight years while devastating the U.S. economy is pathetic. STOP IT!

[THEMADPROFdj]

Wow, this just shows how stupid people are. Edward Said was an intellectual who happened to be a Palestinian. Yes, he was a Christian. Why is it so bad to understand that the Palestinians have a right to their homeland? The Israelis have been involved in so many horrible atrocities... Deir Yassin, Chabra, Shatila I could go on for a very long time. In my mind it is horrible to align yourself to the Israeli point of view.

[jmzimmerman1984]

Said was a great intellectual and great man

[PALESTINE99]

LMAO! Edward Said as a radical islamist ....He Is A Christian you weak minded person who posted this vid learn your facts

[sixthday132]

The great news is Obama is a one termer and the Dems are destroying their own party from within. Lets just hope the patriots get the country back before the liberals ruin it beyond repair.

[losanarchos]

Are you serious? Radical Islamist Edward Said? Have you ever read any of Said's work? Orientalism was bloody brilliant and a closer step towards conflict resolution than anything this video will produce. In Culture and Imperialism's analysis of Conrad's The Heart of Darkness, Said advances with the notion that in order to prevail all cultures must admit an interconnected history, that one is not only victim or executioner and no culture is atomic. Obama is with that? Good.

[ziaagro]

Edward Said and his work for the Palestinian Apartheid is no doubt commendable. If Barrack Obama was friends with Edward Said and if he has sympathies for Palestinians than I think my respect for the man increases.

[Umbriaga]

this is valuable in order to know what these people think of us!

[kotsami]

Edward Said is a christian first of all

WTF

[brianoneill205]

Imho. whoever put this smear of a video up is a complete ar**hole and lacks even the most basic knowledge on the subject.

[Ac1899]

ignorance is a powerful disease which youtube cannot screen...(and it shouldn't!)

[ejalal33]

bullshit!!! go read some of Edward Said!

[thearabunity]

EDWARD SAID

[dancebaby808]

A ridiculous smear campaign, and a cheesy one at that!

[intellect85]

Edward Said is a secular christian not an islamist!

[sexmagick666]

Um. As long as you are on You Tube, blasting Edward Said, maybe look at his video, on the Clash of Civilizations. Also, Mr Said, this Islamic Extremist of whom you speak was a Christian.

[trance2307]

What a load of bullshit.

[CompTechnology2050]

I bet you the jerk uploaded this video is a zionst dont lisiten to them. I swear already have taken over the media, now they want to take over the Internet. Edward Said was intelligent and articulate who stood up for his people and will always be remembered this way unlike the jerk who uploaded this video who will be remembered as ????????????????????????????

[sheikhalislam]

It is absurd to call Edward Said a radical Islamist as the author of this video does, for Said is a Christian. Only in America would people come up with these nonsensical accusations. False propaganda, but people know the truth.

[sheikhalislam]

The importance of the last 200 years is that contemporary international institutions are direct and indirect product of the last 200 years. It is as much a critique of imperialism as it is a critique of Western academia into the fields of the Orient which he describes as not objective. Furthermore, Obama attended AIPAC talks. DOes this mean he also supports Israili terrorism against the Palestinian people.

[awazahome]

The author of this video is clearly an ignorant and empty headed person. Otherwise, he would not call one of the most revolutionary intellectuals of our century a terrorist. No further comments necessary for this unvalidated video.

[sheikhalislam]

I really do not see a connection between Edward Said and Islamic Imperialism. If you are going to make arguments like that, then it is possible to also say that Christianity picked up where Roman imperialism left off. Constantine became a Christian, but he did not disregard the Byzantine imperial ambitions. Beside's, Said never rejected the idea of Islamic military conquest. His merely talking about the contemporary as the product of European colonialism....

[mariliadeverdade]

Edward Said wrote volumes about so-called Western Imperialism. What a short memory he has. Islamic Imperialism began in the 7th century, it predates the rise of the modern West. But somehow we are just supposed to forget what the Muslims did for centuries. Only focus on the past 200 yrs or so. Well, he made a career out of criticizing the West. To me he is just a sell-out. People will do anything for tenure these days!

[awazahome]

Dont forget what the crusaders did either.

[mariliadeverdade]

yes don't forget the crusades. why did the christians attack? after 400 yrs of islamic imperialism the pope said enough is enough and finally the stupid christians reacted to the islamic onslaught.

[michaelangelowimtoro]

What a moron! "Radical Islamists"— HAH, for starters: Said's a nice little Christian, just like you probably think you are. And I don't think you have to worry obamaunderground (you single celled organism) there's no doubt that Obama is going to tow the line just like, if not more so, all your other meat puppet "president" facades, so sit back and enjoy the dazzling spectacle, just don't think to much.

And if were talking liars; how was G.W. for ya? Did ya like that?

[snapcase55]

Said is probably the best critic of the 20th century. I encourage all of you to read his books and understand his very intelligent arguments before passing judgment.

[intifada1989]

I love Edward Said.

[calmguy05]

so whats the big deal with having Arab American friends ? Its 100% healthy you racist moron

[FOURallTWOc]

I believe this is fear mongering. I also remember that it was FDR who said the only thing to fear is fear itself.

Perhaps and we hope that what the V.P was referring to was the economic crisis of his early leadership, which is now facing the world. Barack is now facing these challenges and he is the main inspiration behind the resolution of our current financial woes. I don't think anyone else could have aroused less opposition with an alternative way out. Boils down to reasoning!

[DodiGurl]

yes and your reasoning could be unreasonable. One you simple say you don't think it's true. do your own research. follow the leads connect the dots. remember that islam first coems theri religion. doesn't matter what color you as safe as I am. tehn again, i'm waking up

[donttalkcrap]

what's coems theri??

also, what does "doesn't matter what color you as safe as I am. tehn again, i'm waking up" mean?

Anyway, I did my own research and yes, FOURallTWOc was correct. So I don't know what dots you tried connecting, but they were incorrect. So why did yyou bother making that comment if you yourself did not do your own research?

[zakisbak]

Said referred to himself as a "Christian wrapped in a Muslim culture".

He also enjoyed throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers.

[amawest]

This little mound of manure of a video had me rolling on the floor laughing :-) Since this is YouTube, try USING IT to learn something about Edward Said. You may want to dig a hole to crawl into afterwards, though, as you will probably want to hide from embarrassment.

[0silentsecrecy0]

This is a Stupid Video :) you need to do more research before you post such junk based on personal opinion without enough information.

This is how people get manipulated. Shame on you!

[Diamonddavej]

Edward Said was a Protestant Palestinian Christian btw.

I don't understand how Christians and conservatives do not question the effects of establishment of Israel, when it resulted in a weakening of Christian culture in the Holy Land. 20% of Palestinians were Christian before the establishment of Israel in 1948, today more Jerusalem Christians live in Sydney, Australia than in Jerusalem.

[IolololoIol]

...

[MuslimModerate1]

This video was such a stupid joke. It's typical of these right winger racist Islamophobes to put out something like this. Personally it made me happy I voted for Barack Hussein Obama, yes we all know his middle name so get over it. I didnt know he was in contact with great people such as Edward Said and Rashid Khalili, oh no, some more Arabic names. I love Jeremish Wright too, he spoke the truth like Malcolm.

[amrjosef]

HAHAHHAHA Edawrd Said was palestinian but he was ultra christian,you dump

[davidesugar]

yup another typical conspiracy plonker who thinks everyones out to get them.

[saadehr]

none of the people you mentioned are islamic extremists you FOOL

[piedlin10]

Edward Said did not advise the PLO anytime after 1990, and he was extremely critical of Arafat, as well as things like suicide bombing and violence of any kind. He reacted harshly to brutal violence from both sides. Perhaps read his work instead of reducing the career of a man to one cheap, half true declarative sentence.

[nsam]

The person who made this video said that Ali, Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said are "radical Islamists" - Said was christian! Thanks for the laugh, Obamaundergound! Now where's your video on the lack of impressive association that McCain and Palan have?

[nsam]

"Edward Said who was a Palestinian American literary theorist, cultural critic, political activist, and an outspoken advocate of Palestinian rights."

Yeah, so??

You forgot to mention, brilliant academic intellect - who inspired the a host of other political philosopher. Obama is priviledged to be sitting next to man of such brillance. Said is the closest thing to Einstein and its a shame that most American (a.k.a morons) don't know him.

[mariliadeverdade]

I recommend you read "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism" by Ibn Warraq

[juliapiddinghoe]

Edward Said was a great man of peace and reconciliation. This film is simply racist stupidity. If Obama was indeed 'friends' with Edward Said, it is to his credit to have associated with such a peace-loving man.

Said's life was dedicated to understanding ourselves and others.

[mariliadeverdade]

I recommend you read "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism" by Ibn Warraq

[fmc5564]

excellent video

[Zapppo]

BAM! BAM! BAM! A few more nails in the Obama campaign's coffin!

[timesplitters333]

whats wrong with being PALESTINIAN...

It make no sense!!

America owes alot to PALESTINIANs!

[nowmuslim]

it's all abut palistine all u r j

[coppertop1964]

WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP!

McCain/Palin 08

[dncnutjobs]

We have the world leading exporter of Islamic terrorism surrounded and all the Democrats and Obama want to do is bitch about how much it cost. Osama loves Obama cause they want the same thing.

[scotishjohn]

this is the most frightning american

election

[EncompassedRunner]

So was Obama indoctrinated by the anti-Israel Edward Said during his time @ Columbia University, too? I realize Obama won't release his transcripts, but maybe someone knows what classes he took. Was Said his mentor there?

[surferpeteinspace]

@EncompassedRunner

If you want to know more about Obamas true plans for America, and all his connections..

watch this..

w w w

viddler [.] com/explore/CitizenSlim/videos /1/

This video has JUST HIT THE NET.

You might need a bottle of whisky and a bucket in close range after you watch this!

Please pass it on.

[CPAsheldon]

agreed that we need someone to speak up that knows some more facts since Obama refuses to release documents that would give voters more insight into his past. We don't know Obama well enough to put him in the Oval Office.

[eluminated]

I wouldn't vote for Obama if he paid me, but... The truth of the matter is that Isreal does some terrible things over there and gets nothing but positive press in this country. They're probably the 3rd strongest military in the world, yet we act like they're poor little victims. A bit more honest awareness wouldn't hurt. Search some of the vids about the subject here on YT. You'll see the US press is outrageously biased on the matter. We tend to forget there are many christians in palestine too.

[AmericaGreatAmerica]

I mean regarding ALi Abunimah.

[AmericaGreatAmerica]

Oh my God, I wish people would wake up already? Don't they know they are being played????

Was this in the USA news?

[surferpeteinspace]

There is a Picket Line Protest TODAY at 10am outside LA Times to get Editor to publish video information.

Here is the reason why the LA Times didnt released the tape of Obama with the Khalidis.

This is what Obama said "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine plus theres been genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.

[nsam]

If that's what Obama really said- then I'm definitely voting for him because its the TRUTH (you know that thing that Americans have always been deprived of because we choose to be arrogant)

[BLESSEDone333]

and yet still the liberals will vote for this guy... wow

great vid - I would give it 20 stars if I could! lol

[mariliadeverdade]

Edward Said is dead! (alhamdulalah)

[KCIslamicResistance]

The point is Eward was a dickweed......

Allah u Snackbar

[mariliadeverdade]

KCI: just a dickweed? Edward Said was Satan incarnate! i imagine him in hell right now, throwing rocks for all eternity.

[mtklima]

Any evidence whatsoever to support this attack on Said? Did you read any of his books, any of his articles?

[mariliadeverdade]

i have read 2 of his stupid books. i was forced to read them in college! waste of trees and my time.

[mtklima]

OK. Fair enough. But what are your arguments to support your views that Said was "Satan incarnate"?

[mariliadeverdade]

LOL that is just an expression! although... they say the devil is a trickster. Said has plenty of folks in academia duped and was even a sort of "respectable" prof at Columbia Univ.

Said = trickster = Satan incarnate

do u buy my argument?

[mtklima]

Not really, no. But let's talk again when you're sober, ok?

[mariliadeverdade]

you are not funny. lighten the hell up man, this is youtube. not a friggin academic conference.

[mtklima]

I'm not trying to be funny. I know this is not an academic conference but we are in the middle of an intense political campaign where one of the candidates has consistently tried to smear the other with despicable tactics. Furthermore, I don't appreciate bashing palestinians (especially very decent people like Said) given that in the US it is a national sport.

[mariliadeverdade]

Well, you have been fooled if you think Edward Said is a decent person. He died because of all the hate in his black little heart. And he tries to spread that hate and infect others with his hate, what kind of decent person does that? I have known Arabs who are even more unsympathetic to Palestinians than I am. They know first-hand what cry babies these people really are, they love their victim status because it gives them an excuse to hate. Said was the worst of the lot, profiting from it.

[mtklima]

I'm afraid you are a racist bigot and probably there is no going back for you.

[mariliadeverdade]

Just because you call someone a 'racist bigot' doesn't make it so. Understand that there is more than one side to every story, and just because someone does not share your worldview does not mean they are racist or bigoted. I recommend you read "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism" by Ibn Warraq

[mtklima]

You are not a racist bigot because I call you one. You are a racist bigot because of the despicable views that you have expressed yourself. I'm sure that you know full well that you are a racist bigot, don't you?

[mariliadeverdade]

LOL so I am a racist bigot because I disagree with you about Edward Said? You stupid Europeans sure do love to throw around the racist accusation every time someone dares to disagree with YOUR worldview. Believe whatever makes you sleep better, but really, the intolerant one here is YOU! Don't make me go all postcolonial on you because I could if I wanted to. I read Said, remember?

[mtklima]

LOL. You are funny. You are not a racist bigot because I say so or because you disagree with me. You are what you are because of the views you espouse. And by the way, I'm not European.

[mariliadeverdade]

Well you may not be European but you are still intolerant of other people's viewpoints. Are you Argentinian? Talk about racist bigots...

[mtklima]

What a moron.

[mariliadeverdade]

Your ad hominem attacks are neither clever nor convincing.

[nsam]

Are you the leader of the Ku Klux Klan? What you described above is a clean depiction of Israelis - not Palestinians. What decent person would support Israelis doing a genocide on Palestnians?  The entire world speaks against Israel, but they only fire back by saying "well, we endured the holocaust.. so its ok if we kill others to get more land... we're the chosen people.. blah blah"

[donttalkcrap]

Spread hate and infect others with hate??

Please let us know how and where he did this. I have been researching Edward Said and have not come across anything in any of his or anyone else's writings to support your opinions.

[DodiGurl]

From your msg It's pretty clear that you are one of these one who voted for Obama, is a liberal, or are black. It's generally understood that at the least those 3 types answer and or write msgs such as your. It's known as, well like ignorance but more so spewing out ignorance and you know your talking shit. If one says somthing u don't like, u write like you have here. Ur what's known as a waste of time.

[awazahome]

are you really this dumb, or are you pretending?

[nsam]

Have you ever been educated? Because no one can buy your ignorant argument. It's based on the tales of myths that American conservatives feed you. Said inspired many intellects and was one of the most revered professors at Columbia (in case you didn't know- that's an IVY LEAGUE school- not some community college that you couldn't get into)

[mariliadeverdade]

Educated or Indoctrinated? Yes, I know where Said taught. And I don't buy into your Ivy League bullshit. Clear example: George W graduated from Yale, LOL

Look why don't you try reading other texts besides the ones you read in Liberal Indoctrination State Univ. READ "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism" by Ibn Warraq

[donttalkcrap]

Again, another illiterate that cannot form a proper sentence. Instead of telling us that YOU reckon they are stupid books, why not do something useful and explain to us WHY you came to that conclusion or is that outside your realm of understanding.

[donttalkcrap]

Instead of just writing childish abuse, why not do something useful and actually tell us all what (facts) you know about this man.

I just watched a documentary with his best friend who was an Israeli and he seemed like a very fair, intelligent and articulate man. So explain to me where I'm wrong.

[obamaunderground]

marilia, yes, Edward Said died in 2003, but what has that got to do with anything? Nobody said he and Obama hung out last week, but they did so for years until Said died.

You Liberals make up the most BS of excuses.

[mariliadeverdade]

i am not a liberal, geees. i am just expressing joy that Said is DEAD

[obamaunderground]

We MUST stop Obama!!

McCain/Palin 08
