All the news that's fit to be hidden...

So let's argue theoretically that a major news portal in the old media has a video tape that shows John McCain donning a set of sheets and dancing around flaming crosses... What's the bet that even if the tape had been given to the media agency with a request not to show it - that it would remain unseen?

So why would the newspaper remain silent while possessing video footage of  Barack Obama singing the praises of a "klansmen" from the middle east?

Camp McCain knows it would get the shaft if the press had something nearly as tasteless and reviling in its history. No wonder they're steamed:

"A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," said McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb. " . . . The election is one week away, and it's unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job -- make information public."

Obama caught in his lies
What was the point in giving LA Times this video? Did the person say, oh here is a video of Obama with people he claims NOT to "pal around with," I just wanted to give this, guilt by association, video to you for safe keeping? Come on!!! The person got money, I'm sure of large sum supplied by Obama and his people, for the video with a "Promise" ONLY to Obama and his people that this video would NOT be seeing the light of day again.

Motive is NOT the Point
The motive behind the tape donor is not the point. Who cares what the motive is? The fact is, the tape exists and it's damning evidence and the LA Times knows it and is concealing evidence about a presidential candidate the the public deserves to know. If McCain was tapes dancing around with Klansmen, I would sure want to know and would not care what the motive was of the person supplying the tape to the media! Wrong is just plain WRONG and we have one week to wake up the public before it is too late for the country!

McCain has some 'splainin to do
While McCain was serving as its' President, the International Republican Institute gave Khalidi's Palestine Center for Research and studies $448,000.

McCain went beyond association to actual funding!

Uh, what is the scandal here?
Khadili is a respected scholar at Columbia. Just because he is Palestinian doesn't make him scary.

Oh and Kevin, you do know that John McCain funded Khadili's efforts? Check it out. Your latest sleaze scandal just died on the vine.

What a pathetic party you've become.

Wake Up, People, Before It's Too Late!
The LA Times has a responsibility to RELEASE THIS TAPE NOW! The people of this country have a right to know who they are electing to this nations highest office. This is just one more of a long list of troubling relationships between the Marxist Messiah and several undesireable, America-hating Chicago subversives. This is almost unbelievable! I can only imagine the type of scrutiny John McCain would be undergoing right now if the situation were reversed! It's time for the media to start acting like real JOURNALISTS and pretending they have at least an ounce of integrity. No wonder people are going elsewhere for their news.....they can't trust these bozos in the media!

Peggy did you read the comments?
This latest bogeyman Khalidi has received half a milliion dollars from the IRI. If he's so scary, why was a Republican foundation headed by McCain funding his efforts?

BREAKING: MCCAIN FUNDED KHALIDI!
Alert Sean Hannity! Drudge! Limbaugh!

The TRUTH ABOUT MCCAIN MUST BE RELEASED!

Oh wait a minute...

What's the point?
I'm glad you found public information that shows an organization McCain headed donated money to the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. The information is in the public record for everyone to see and draw their own conclusions.
The video being suppressed by the LA Times is NOT in the public record and not available for everyone to see and draw their own conclusions. I believe that is the issue.

Half-truths, again.
As usual with Kevin, the posting is filled with half-truths.

The LA Times did a complete, total, detailed story on the contents of the video way back in April -- but not the actual video itself.

The reasons given would be a source of joy if the entity was Fox "News" -- the tape was given to the Times on the condition that it not be released.

Kevin would have us all think it is the equivalent of the Zapruder film.

Or, could it be that reading about the contents of the video requires thought, but watching images on a screen appeals to the mono-synaptic hard-core Right?
