Cnn just did a good fact check on this Rashid Khalidi business, said it was just misleading |

Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 09:11 PM by chimpsrsmarter
and basically bullshit. Btw i've Khalidi several times on the Charlie Rose show, many people have talked with him and had him on as a guest.
one more thing Dana Bash asked some McCain tool about why they are bringing it now it the answer was "He's one week away from being the president"=Desperate!

Rashid Khalidi. Advocates for the Palestinians ALWAYS get demonized. Look what happened to Jimmy Carter.

12. it annoys me seeing the RW framing of Khalidi being a bad |

Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 10:06 PM by jonnyblitz
person accepted by pro-Obama folks as they try to minimize Obama's dealings with him in defense. Perhaps Obama has no ties or their past association was inflated by the RW. either way, so the fuck what? :shrug: Khalidi has quite the impressive resume, he is no slouch.

3. I think the point of this whole exercise is... |
|
to link to "Muslim" sounding names together. They couldn't get people to care about a bland anglo-name Ayers, so now they're trotting out Khalidi.
More to the point... Khalidi and Obama = Terrorist Muslims

8. That's exactly right...notice the Palinized all booing the minute she |
|
said his name in her sneering tone...they didn't HAVE to know who he was...just the fact that he had a Muslim-sounding name is enough. All they need. What a pathetic statement about the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the rePigliCon-inclined electorate.

Demonizing people because of what ethnic background they are or what their name is
