The Repubs just don't get. Negative attacks aren't working in this campaign.

McCain also has ties to Khalidi through a group that Khalidi helped found 15 years ago. The Center for Palestine Research and Studies has received more than $800,000 from an organization that McCain chairs.
This is why the hypocrites are behind!

The writing is on the wall that Obama can't be trusted.

I am ashamed of the supporters of Obama. They do not know what they do.

Liberalism is a sickness that needs a cure.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people, God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

McCain gave over $800,000 to the same terror group, what a joke!

Sarah Palin must have looked in the mirror and caught a glimpse of herself and her very close ties to the 2 radical members of the Alaska Independance Party who both said they had access to Sarah and the Governors office whenever they wanted anything. As a matter of fact, Sarah tried to get one of the whacko's on the City Council but the responsible members of the council wouldn't hear of it.

If Liberalism is a sickness, Conservatism is the toxic cancer that causes it.

she's jealous because she never stayed at a school long enough to know any professors. what an ass.

I think she's right! I believe in the old fashioned saying that we are known by the friends that we keep. People should listen to her this time! I fear for Israel if Obama is elected president! He'll sell them out with his "negotiations"!

Guys, guys, guys! Now we're going to attack Obama for knowing a respected Palestinian-American professor who was involved in the Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations and who has courageously called suicide bombings "war crimes"! There was nothing wrong with McCain supporting Khalidi, and there is nothing wrong with Obama knowing Khalidi. How much Arab-phobia can this campaign get into? Enough is enough!

Arabs: Obama ‘One of Us'

While Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama “has tried to push his origins into the background, his ‘Islamic roots’ have won him a place in many Arabs’ hearts.”

That’s the observation of Iranian-born commentator Amir Taheri, whose column in Tuesday’s New York Post notes that many Arabs and other Muslims see Obama as “one of them.”

Story continues below . . .

They see that Obama has Arabic-Islamic first and middle names: Barack means “blessed” and Hussein means “beautiful.” His last name is Swahili, an East African language based on Arabic, Taheri writes. His sister is named Oumah, Arabic for “the community of the faithful;” his daughter Malia bears the name of a daughter of the noted Caliph Othman; and his father and stepfather were both Muslims.

Although Taheri did not note it, Obama was raised partially as a Muslim when he lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. While there, he studied at two schools and was registered at both as a Muslim student.

As such he received Islamic religious instruction, studied the Koran, and prayed with other students. He did attend mosque, albeit infrequently, with his stepfather.

Obama’s religious upbringing after Indonesia is somewhat of a mystery until his late 20s. At that point, Obama says he converted to Christianity after meeting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago.

Still, Obama has maintained strong support from American Muslims, including Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam movement. Farrakhan has endorsed Obama and has called him the “messiah.”

These factors have made Obama a big hit in the Arab world, where he has received wide praise, including:

The Syrian regime has indicated its preference for Obama. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has written: “The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the U.S. but for the entire human family.”

Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi called Obama “a Muslim” and said: “All the people in the Arab and Muslim world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcome him and prayed for his success,” although Qaddafi also expressed criticism of Obama’s comments on the future of Jerusalem.

Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said this year: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.”

Hezbollah’s second in command, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, urged Americans to vote for Obama as a step toward peace with Islam, and pro-Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb said there is “no doubt Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency,” according to Taheri.

In Saudi Arabia, commentator Hussein Shobokshi wrote that an Obama presidency “would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena.”
Some columnists also have noted Obama’s close ties to several Palestinian radicals, including Columbia University Prof. Rashid Khalidi — former communications director for the Palestinian Liberation Organization — and another Palestinian political activist, the late Edward Said.

The “Arab street” also favors Obama. Recent surveys found that he is the preferred candidate in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

truthmatters...cancer is too nice of a term for what they've become. They are so desparate it's gone beyond sad to sickening. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Seems to me she has had some associations that are questionably anti-American.The only people that will follow blindly behind their rhetoric are those that don't want to know the truth.And the two skinheads and their friends. The republican party has become shameless. What happened to McCain?

It is a shame that when an individual seeks to gather information on other individuals it is automatically ASSumed they share the same views. How does America wish to excel as a country and powerful nation if we only hear, speak and associate with individuals that think just like us.

Knowledge is power, you can only obtain knowledge by opening your mind and listening to people who think differently than you.

Diva Palin stop distracting all
the time.
The day people are getting ready
to hear Obama's commercial, which is beneficial to them, you are coming
again with your negative attacks.

Where is your Medical Records by
the way?
Do you think they are not important?

Linda..Obama is the preferred canadate around the entire world. Many countries were once our allies. They see what this administration has done to us. My friends in London are still laughing at how stupid we were to re-elct Bush. They know McCain will continue with the Bush policies, especially those concerning the war in Iraq.And they don't understand our prejudices against people of color or religous backgrounds. And not all muslims are bad people. You need to educate yourself.

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

"WOLF!"

Keep shouting Sarah - maybe someone will believe you this time.

NOT.

HAS SARAH PALIN been tested for rabies yet?

Now that the congress has passed mental health parity legislation, I am hoping she can get some help with her radical personality disorder.

Seriously folks, is it acceptable that we demonize Rashid Khalidi or any other Arab who Barack Obama happens to be friends with?

Khalidi is a MODERATE Palestinian, one who favors a negotiated settlement with Israel and CONDEMNS suicide bombs as war crimes!

ALSO, John McCain has an important relationship with Khalidi. He chaired a board that funneled about a million dollars to Khalidi's moderate organization.

DO THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NO SHAME?????

Give it a rest, Palin. And seceding from the union is treason, not a "silly little ethics violation."

This is getting ridiculous. Just 6 more days and we will be done with this Rovian politics.
