What is Allegedly on the Obama-Khalidi Tape; Peculiar Detail About L.A. Times Reporter Who “Watched” Tape
By Debbie Schlussel
As you know, the Los Angeles Times refuses to release a tape of Barack Obama at a dinner honoring his good buddy, anti-Israel Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, at which anti-Semitic and anti-Israel poems and statements were made. We know why they refuse to release it: it shows Obama doing something really bad, and they don’t want us to see it.
Now, Reader Yochanan tips me off to this from Doug Ross, quoting one of his sources:
Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”
It would be really controversial if it got out. That’s why they will not even let a transcript get out.
Very believable. I’d bet money that this is either exactly what is on the tape or very close to it. Any Jew–actually, any American–who votes for this guy is a complete fool. And we have a lot of those in this country, sadly.
Read the rest of Doug’s work on this.
Meanwhile, last week, Carl in Jerusalem reminds us of an interesting detail about Los Angeles Times plagiarist/”reporter” Peter Wallsten who says he watched the tape–a detail which would explain why he didn’t note anything about the very disturbing Sanabel AlQuds Debka troupe in his report on the tape.
“Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”
I’m going to link to this post, and credit Debbie .
I think everyone should see this. 11th hour tactic, and people in denial, but you have to go down fighting…….
