Obama Praised Rashid Khalidi in 2003

In 2003, Barack Obama lavished praise on Rashid Khalidi, a
mouthpiece for Yasser Arafat. In the room were Weather
Underground members Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. It was all
caught on video. The Los Angeles Times blandly mentioned the
tape in passing a few months ago, but I'm told there is more to
it than that - the tape shows enough sympathy from Barack Obama
toward the causes of an Islamic radical that the American public
has a right to see the tape.
