McCain Gave Rashid Khalidi Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars

[thepossessor]

got o love those satanic inverted stars floating above mccain's head

[6The6Beast6]

Its funny because everywhere on the screen the stars are pointed the right way, only above MCCains head the pentacle of Dear Mr.Satan :)

[billyacid8]

Tommorow night! win or lose Senator/President Obama will have ties with more than half of the American Populace. Arnold asked who would you wanna be with in a POW camp,...I say I'd rather vote for Obama and never have to find out!

No more "Mcc-ocalypse Now!" I can't stand "The Horror":

"Maybe...100 yrs of war"

that he won't fight

"I know how to deal with Iranians"

Danks, butt, no danks

"I'll never surrender"

me niether buddy; get over it!

"I know how to win wars"

...like which one?

[MrTruth08]

Very well said.

[Clyaton]

You were saying awhile back? Permanent base in Iraq due to...... OBAMA, of course it wouldn't have been any different under mccain, the real truth, 'whisper' they are both pawns

[danielratliff665]

I swear im so close to not voting this time, if there were an independent id vote for him....

[jzephyrcove]

Lou Dobbs You are so scared, and you should be, because your king will not win, Its our new king OBAMA.....so get use to it...

[Maargen]

Umm...excuse me, but after King George I really don't want to hear about any Kings in this country, thank you. If Obama shows the same kind of contempt for the Constitution that Bush did then we're in big trouble. At least as a Constitutional scholar at least we know he's read it. Hopefully that's a good sign.

[4Puys]

Talk about a Wolf in sheep's clothing... Lou Dobbs is a Right Wing Republican! Independent my Ass!

[hemphill87]

obama will say anything to get elected im from illinois we have a history of scum politicins obamas no diffrent look at all the scum hes connected to these are the worst two canidates for president i use to consider myself a democrat now im neither they both suck badly nothing will change i promise

[trinifun99]

This is an insult, I feel like they are counting on the fact that people are to stupid to know what socialism means. They both want to distribute wealth its just McCain wants keep it distributed to the wealthy. With this republican trickle down economics theory how long does it take for the wealth to trickle down? Its ironic that they are the ones who are creating socialism, because the govt had to bail out the banks, with a McCain win a health care bail out is next.

[eriffla1]

Mccain scares the superfries out of me !

[rigelspikes]

So let ME get this straight. Obama and Khalidi channeled 100's of 1000's of dollars to the Arab Action Network. Poll vs. donation to Arabs? You have to be sick to vote Obama. He's in bed with radicals while keeping our nation energy dependant on his fellow Muslim pals. Wake up!

[Maargen]

I'll help you get this straight:

The organization MCCAIN was in charge of gave $400,000 to the organization Khalidi was in charge of. MCCAIN GAVE KHALIDI MONEY! How dumb are Conservatives, really? This is basic reading/listening comprehension!

[rigelspikes]

You win, I lose. Now man up already and take responsibility for what is to come our way over the next 4 years.

[Maargen]

The world won - including you. What's this about me manning up and taking responsibility for stuff that hasn't happened yet? Shouldn't YOU be manning up and taking responsibility for the results of the administration that's in office right now? Let's see you do that, then you'll be more credible.

[MrTruth08]

lol arent McCainiacs funny? i mean seriously we are already heading down the shitter. I think Obama will do good things to help not sure our battered country but help the world with true democracy and not war.

[bsl309ty]

So lemme get this straight...

When Obama does it, he's an anti-Semite lovin' terrorist that will destroy Israel if he gets elected. But when McCain does the same thing and forks over a six figure paycheck to the individual/organization at the center of the controversy, that's OK?

Gotta love these far-right Republic double-standards. Still no word from the Palin camp about McCain "Pallin' around with terrorists," but I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for that one either...

[AngryAgain]

I couldn't have said it better

[StupidVds]

So, on top of being a racist prick, a misogynist pig, and a wartime traitor, McCain is a jew-hater too? Who woulda thunk?

[MsCookieW]

Why are you getting mad? This really isn't about Socialism. Answer me this,

WHAT IF:

Obama graduated from the bottom of his class?

Obama cheated on his crippled 1st wife and dumped her for a rich one?

Michelle stole drugs from her charity and got addicted?

Obama was a Keating 5 member?

Obama had fits of outbursts in the Senate, or was a POW who made propaganda videos?

Obama's 17 year old daughter was pregnant.

His son vandelized 45 school busses.

He would not be running! ! !

[66barry]

I think its pretty clear that if you saw a video of Obama laughing and joking and toasting to the death of Isreal with PLO memebers it wouldnt change your vote for Obama

[shroomingnewman]

i'm pretty sure he does that in an alternate universe

[suzysquat]

GREAT POST!

[66barry]

Maybe Obama can apoint Kahlidi as ambassador to Iran so he can watch over the enrichment program.

[66barry]

If Mccain was in the same building with an ex KKK leader it would be the end of his career but when presented with undisputed evidence of Obama buddying up to criminals and terrorists and corrupt politicians you want to believe you didnt see it...A nods as good as a wink to a blind horse.

[KanzlerM]

Let us see the video and judge for ourselves whether it is meanigful or not.

If it were video detrimental to a conservative the media would be all over it, and would demonize the coverup of suppressing such video.

[Maargen]

I agree that the video should have been released. Almost everything the McCain campaign says sounds plausible at first, then turns out to be a distortion or a lie.Saying there's a video without producing it makes it impossible to tell if it's important or just another empty scare tactic. As for the media being biased, that's just another lie.

[suzysquat]

He WAS in the same building as an ex KKK leader -- Sen. Robert Byrd!

[Maargen]

John McCain was one of the Keating 5, who buddied up to a criminal whose fraudulent activities cost the victims billions of dollars. Somehow it didn't end his career, so you're wrong there. Because the media didn't tell you to get all whipped up about it, you think we should all pretend we didn't see it, so you're a hypocrite. Wrong + hypocricy = Conservative

[MsCookieW]

Aquiles Suarez, a McCain economic advisor, was Dir. of Govmt and Industy relations for Fannie Mae from 03- 06. McCain's staff members were on the receiving end collecting hundreds of thousands from both Fannie and Freddie. McCain's campaign mgr served as Pres of a lobbying assoc. that fought to protect Fannie/Freddie from regulation. Charlie Black, McCain's top aid collected $820K. His Campaign Vice Chair Wayne Berman made $1.14M. McCain had 20 Lobbyist who made $12.3M. Big Whew, Both parties!

[66barry]

You just cant believe your lying eyes can you when you look at those congressional tapes and see all those Democrats fighting to cover up the mess.I quess Democrats must believe the congress doctored them . Whew Whew!

[66barry]

Or you could just look at the youtube vids called Freddie and Fannie democrats coverup and see the congressional hearings if you dont want to do the research and see the whole story.

[neacratssuck]

Obama was a member of the "NEW PARTY" in the 90's...Socialist! also explain to me how Obama can ignore proven FACTS about a tax plan then when he and NO ONE else can defend it he claims McCain's tax plan is redistribution as well..LOL Tax credits do not take money from one group and give it to another. Also JFC and Clinton '97 as well as Bush lowered the capital gains taxes and GAINED revenues RAISING THEM like Clinton in 1993 lowered revenue, Hoover and Carter prolonged bad times by high taxes

[66barry]

Then finally you should look up a bill called "The Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act of 2005" that McCain co-sponsored that would have regulated Freddie and Fannie and the Democrats blocked in 2005 and again in 2007 and Obama was against.And then see how the hated president Bush tried to warn congress of a housing finacilal crisis in 2003 and the Democrats refused to do anything about regulating the housing industry and in particular Freddie and Fannie Mae.Whew!

[MsCookieW]

Sarah Palin just spoke at the AIG this spring, telling them to keep up the good work. Her husband was a 7 year member. Founder Joe Volger killed during a plastic explosion sale gone bad, Said "My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand". Also said, When the [federal] bureaucrats come after me, I suggest they wear red coats. They make better targets. In the federal government are the biggest liars in the United States, and I hate them with a passion.

[neacratssuck]

McCain was not buddies with Khalidi and gave him money for democracy study polls. Obama was friends with him and was at the "main table" at the event along with Khalidi. Bill Ayers (who dedicated his books to the killer of RFK and many killers of cops) was at the event to.Khalidi has been on record BASHING Chicago politics and talking about how corrupt it is...specifically Democratic politics LOL

[66barry]

I went to a restaurant today to eat lunch and I saw a homeless man standing out front with a sign that read"I support Obama and I need Money".My waiter was wearing a tee shirt that said "Obama '08" so I ordered and ate and then paid my check and then went outside and gave the homeless man $5 .The waiter came outside and said where's my tip and I said "I'm just following Obamas plan to spread the wealth around and so I gave the homeless man your tip even though he didnt earn it he needed it more"

[MsCookieW]

Hey 66Barry; A Rich man driving down the street in his Rolls Royce throws a rod because he didn't service his car or add oil. A Police officer sees him and stops everybody passing by, those walking, riding the bus, on bikes and in raggedy cars. He collects $7K from everyone and gives the money to the rich man so he can

fix his Rolls and keep rolling.

That's how I feel about the bail out. I have no stocks or houses, but I have to shell out so the rich cats can keep their lifestyle.

Welfare

[66barry]

Who do you blame for the bail out?

[MsCookieW]

I'm just saying what's worse? And I blame both parties, no government oversight,Ceo's gambling with retirement funds. The Mtg. crisis was a financial gamble, most people I know were told, "we can get you into this big house with an interest only loan, just refinance it 5 years and you'll be OK". Five years later the market is dropping and people can't refinance, they are stuck and big interest now kicks in. And the empty new homes in my city are not owned by minorites and people on welfare.

[66barry]

I hear exactly what youre saying MsCookieW. I think you should study a bill that Jimmy Carter helped pass called "The Community Reinvestment Act" and then see what role Clinton played in the housing industry related to that act and then look at the videos here on Youtube of the congressional hearings in 2004 with the leaders of Freddie and Fannie and the congressmen and see how they convered us the crisis and then see who Obama worked for at the time this all began and who runs his campaign now.

[bigdaddymp977]

That organization was to promote democracy among Palestinians. It's dishonest to make it sound like McCain has the same sort of friendly ties with Khalidi. McCain wasn't the one with a personal relationship with the guy, eating dinners and going to a going away party. That's all Obama, and that is a DIRECT tie, as opposed to the weak tie Dobbs is blabbering about.

[Odin4President]

Is that we it really is? Come on. How do we know it was all used to "promote democracy"? Some of it could have been used to fund terrorism. Now there's a question we should be asking.

[evilthought]

Fuck off asshole. Khalidi is not a terrorist. He is American citizen and a scholar. There is nothing wrong with being pro-Palestian and critical of Israeli policy.

[elpeniselkabeer]

well said.

[SamHusseini]

Lou Dobbs has had Khalidi on his show. So does that mean he has to "come clean"? Khalidi has done nothing wrong and that should be the end of it. McCain should appologize for what his campaign has done THIS WEEK, not what he may have done by funding Khalidi's group years ago.

[66barry]

If you where a rich speculator looking to make a large investment and Obama was president would you be intrested in investing in anything in the US knowing the taxes you would face?

[BarneyFife82]

$441,000 to be exact

[WONDAWOMAN]

according to Keith Oberman, $448,873.00 given to Khalidi by McCain when he was the Chairman of the International Republican Institute in 1998. McCain's group also gave other grants to Khalidi's group.

[BarneyFife82]

Your right... I heard wrong.

[wrightpaw]

66barry, I voted for McCain , fought in a couple wars, but you embarrass me. Ole Soldier

[66barry]

Only in America can make a toast to killing Jews with a PLO supporting buddy and then run for president and get elected and folks never bat an eye.

[lakedawg]

This is so stupid. McCain's never met Khalidi, but he has a "relationship". Give me a break. Meanwhile, Barack and he are almost best friends, but that doesn't matter. LA Times won't show the video of Obama & friends bashing Israel, but McCain is the one we should be afraid of. What a joke.

[latincupidd]

They have never been best friends in fact not even friends. Mccain ties as well as Obama's ties to Khalidi are insignificant period!

[WONDAWOMAN]

they are not insignificant as long as one is trying to tie his opponent to someone that he can be tied to with the same chords. That is what makes it significant.. the HYPOCRACY.

[Spaki]

Have you seen this supposed vid? I personally believe that MONEY goes further than a some friendship. And their not best friends.

[hollygaye]

You've got to be kidding. You don't think giving someone $441,000 signifys a "relationship? McCain needs to come clean.

[nickrock23]

who gives the PLO $440,000 in taxpayer dollars to conducts polls in israel?

"there's nothing like good clean business.. and a little monkey business !! " - thronton melon

[middas22]

During the 1990s, John McCain chaired the International Republican Institute when it gave several grants to Rashid Khalidis Center for Palestine Research and Studies.

This is true but that isnt what they want you to focus on. How can they possibly bring this association up so late in the campaign and not expect the truth about McCain's association with him to come up? Someone is sleeping at the wheel.

[ptracy4]

During the 1990s, John McCain chaired the International Republican Institute when it gave several grants to Rashid Khalidis Center for Palestine Research and Studies.

McCain is such a hypocrite.

[medhatalberta]

I'm sure you feel the same about McCain then right? His connections are more real...

[NYblur1000]

you are an idiot

[66barry]

Youre a antisematic

[66barry]

Jew hater Racist

[wvdc]

McCain's chaired the International Republican Institute that funded Rashid Khalidi, US$450k filed in 1998. This is public information!

McCain is a liar and a hypocrite.

[Gutsyndicate]

They shoot themselves in the foot! think before you blame others!

Obama 08!

[gnomerroamer]

I think the best part about this campaign has been the oppositional headlines:

"no thanks to that bridge to nowhere": next day, "Well, not really..."

"we'll veto all pork; mavericky!": next day, "took tax payer money to pay her to stay in her house, buy her a tanning bed, pay for children's travel"

"Obama's a diva celebrity": next day, "$25K/week makeup artist for Palin, $150K RNC dollars for her ward-drobe," her own campaign, "she's a diva whackjob"

And many more. Classic.

[MrTouchShriek]

I guess the cat is finally out of the bag -- even FOX showed Khalidi's connections to McCain tonight. If Khalidi is such a bad guy, why did McCain give him $500k and participate in paving the way to his rise?

If you look at McCain's associations with characters in the West Bank, they are far more unsavory than those of any other individual who ran for the presidency this year.

[mzzh]

oopsie doopsie.

[skids7682]

Boomerang McCain

"Inexperience" oops Palin

"Birth Certificate" oops Panama

"Acorn" oops Acorn banquet

"Sports pandering" oops Steelergate

The list goes on and on.

[beanchar]

Don't forget Bill Ayers... oops, funded by Lenore Annenberg-- a McCain supporter and a lifetime MAJOR donor to the RNC.

OOPS, thy name is McCain!

[skids7682]

If I was obsessive I'd be keeping a big ass list and making youtubes about it.
