A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.This Kahlidi fellow was a spokesman for the terror group the PLO, remember them?
His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."
One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."Yes, it was one heck of a Jew bashing celebration they had.
Though Khalidi has seen little of Sen. Obama in recent years, Michelle Obama attended a party several months ago celebrating the marriage of the Khalidis' daughter.Still friends though, another 'just afellow on my block. Isn't it odd that The naive One has so many fellows on his block that normal Americans wouldn't even give the time of day to. Really weird The naive One thinks he can lead a free liberty loving country, to Socialism, because he can read agood speech. Most people call that just acting. Like when he clasped his hands when the National Anthem was played, or how he explained why he doesn't wear a flag pen. My favorite is how Obama explains America's fatal flaw, our written Constitution, which he wants to do away with.
I wonder what is causing this?
Could it be the constant hammering on their readers with liberal bull crap that is driving readers away? Could it be, most find the Internet and it's choices, much more to their liking? I haven't subscribed to a newspaper in years. Same with magazines. Don't need ether -- Who says being green is hard.
Oh yeah, the LA Times offers up sacrifices, more newsroom layoffs. And so does the liberal Time Inc.
2008 will go down in history as the year journalism died in America.
