JOHN MCCAIN GAVE $448 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO RASHID KHALIDI

Guilt by association. John McCain, while he was Chairman of the IRI - International Republican Institute - gave more than $448 Thousand Dollars in grants to Dr. Rashid Khalidi, co-founder of the Center for Palestinian Research and Studies. So, playing McCain's game of guilt-by-association, we should hold him accountable for his ties to Rashid Khalidi. After all, $448 Thousand Dollars must strongly indicate that both John McCain and Rashid Khalid share the same beliefs, ideology and political agenda...

Barack Obama sat in the audience, but he kept his money in his pocket. Only John McCain gave money to Khalid. Oh, by the way, William (Bill) Ayers also gave money to Khalid. So, McCain and Ayers and Khalid are all "associates", all with the same political agenda, ideology, beliefs, etc. Right?

McCain-Ayers-Khalid are all connected, all guilty. Right?

In regards to Khalidi, however, the guilt-by-association game burns John McCain as well.

During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.)

The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

McCain has no clue what he is doing or what the Republicans did, as Palin does not.

If they knew that they donated this huge amount, they would not have screemed so loud.

This ignorant stupid couple will loose tomorrow and that is the best thing that can happen to the USA.

John Mccain said he was going to run a clean campain, he said he was different, he is not, he is a man wihtout honor, he has run the most slimy, dirty, dishonest campain in history. John Mccain has hired the same group that distroyed him in 2000, he is running a campain of fear and race bating, I hope America is smart enough not to fall for it this time. Vote for Obama if you want America to stand for the things it used to stand for.
