Barack Obama's close friend from Chicago is Rashid Khalidi, the head of middle east studies at Columbia U. Obama's friend, Rashid Khalidi was instrumental in bringing Iranian mad man mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia U. Khalidi raised money for Obama when he ran for the US House. Khalidi was also a member of the PLO press corps back in Beirut Leb. in the 70's. The PLO has many umbrella Muslim terror groups that seek Israel's destruction. Barack Obama chose this man as his friend. A man's choice of friends is a barometer to his soul and intentions.

Which is why we will never be friends...

John McCain became chairman of the International Republican Institute in January of 1993. Khalidi co-founded and was a member of the Center for Palestine Research and Studies. He was on the board of directors from 1993-1998.

Foreign Affairs says in September of 1993 McCain's group funded "several extensive studies" and funded over 30 polls for Khalidi’s Center for Palestine Research and Studies and continued giving money to the CPRS until Khalidi left that group in 1999.

McCain’s group also gave the CPRS $448,873 in 1998. Here's a copy of that form. You'll see McCain’s name on it as Chairman towards the bottom. Look at page 14, item #5180, West Bank: CPRS Grant of $448,873

If the claim made by the McCain campaign concerning Obama were valid, this would mean McCain gave a half million dollars to terrorists.

Aside from the McCain campaigns hypocrisy on this matter, what’s worse is the fact that the use of these types of tactics is morally wrong. McCain is so much more involved with Khalidi than Obama that it isn't funny.

What a bunch of hypocrites.

Desperate lies from a desperate campaign. Using fear and lies again to win. Shame on John McCain and those who use these techniques.
