…Otherwise, there’s just really no explanation for the lengths his campaign is going to talk around the obvious.
— Well, unless we’ve been taking his whole “I’d really like to win this thing” business far too literally.

Joe Klein and Sully are typically hypocritical…
They want Goldfard to provide citations for the anti-semitism of O!s supporters…
Not only would they be outraged! if Wright or Farrakhan were brought into play, since those mere distractions have obviously been discussed enough!, but would also provide the basis for playing the race card again on camp Mav…
Which, by the way, they would have no problem doing to all who would listen, like the town criers of catastrophe toddling about the town. And remember, when talking about eeeeeevil RAAAAAAACISTS, who needs citations or ,you know, references anyway…
WE’RE TALKING ‘BOUT EEEEEEVIL RACIST RETHUGLIKKKANS HERE, PEOPLE!…I mean, get with the program already…
great post, jeff.
We all can see now what a smearing slimy moronic idiot this Goldfarb is( which I knew already, but info be helpful to other readers here).
Do you think Khalidi has a ground for the law suit? :
First, Barnett Rubin:
“I actually find it demeaning, insulting, and depressing to have to defend Rashid. I could say, I know him, he has been a guest in my home in New York and in my rented house in Provence, he bears absolutely no resemblance to the image these despicable people are trying to project of him, and lot’s more. I could point out that I am Jewish and have VISIBLE JEWISH ARTIFACTS IN MY HOME, which did not appear to alarm Rashid, if he even noticed them, but it is all just so ridiculous I don’t know what to say.
I don’t want to treat these charges with the respect of a refutation. I just want to express my disgust with those who uttered them and my solidarity with my friend, Rashid Khalidi.”
Second, Scott Horton:
“In the current issue of National Review, Andrew McCarthy continues his campaign to link the Democratic nominee to various and sundry Hyde Park radicals. This time it is “PLO advisor turned University of Chicago professor Rashid Khalidi,†who now heads the Middle Eastern Studies Department at Columbia University. Khalidi, we learn, makes a habit of justifying and supporting the work of terrorists and is “a former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat.†And then we learn that this same Khalidi knows Obama and that his children even babysat for Obama’s kids!
This doesn’t sound much like the Rashid Khalidi I know. I’ve followed his career for many years, read his articles and books, listened to his presentations, and engaged him in discussions of politics, the arts, and history. In fact, as McCarthy’s piece ran, I was midway through an advance copy of Khalidi’s new book Sowing Crisis: The Cold War and American Dominance in the Middle East. (I’ll be reviewing it next month–stay tuned.) Rashid Khalidi is an American academic of extraordinary ability and sharp insights. He is also deeply committed to stemming violence in the Middle East, promoting a culture that embraces human rights as a fundamental notion, and building democratic societies. In a sense, Khalidi’s formula for solving the Middle East crisis has not been radically different from George W. Bush’s: both believe in American values and approaches. However, whereas Bush believes these values can be introduced in the wake of bombs and at the barrel of a gun, Khalidi disagrees. He sees education and civic activism as the path to success, and he argues that pervasive military interventionism has historically undermined the Middle East and will continue to do so. Khalidi has also been one of the most articulate critics of the PLO and the Palestinian Authorityâ€â€calling them repeatedly on their anti-democratic tendencies and their betrayals of their own principles. Khalidi is also a Palestinian American. There is no doubt in my mind that it is solely that last fact that informs McCarthy’s ignorant and malicious rants.
McCarthy states that Khalidi “founded†the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). In fact, he neither founded it nor has anything to do with it. But AAAN is not, as McCarthy suggests, a political organization. It is a social-services organization, largely funded by the state of Illinois and private foundations, that provides support for English-language training, citizenship classes, after-school and summer programs for schoolchildren, women’s shelters, and child care among Chicago’s sizable Arab community (and for others on the city’s impoverished South Side). Does McCarthy consider this sort of civic activism objectionable? Since it was advocated aggressively by President Bush–this is “compassionate conservativism†in action–such an objection would be interesting. Nor was Khalidi ever a spokesman for the PLO, though that was reported in an erroneous column by the New York Times’s Tom Friedman in 1982. That left me curious about the final and most dramatic accusation laid at Khalidi’s doorstep: that the Khalidis babysat for the Obamas. Was it true? I put the question to Khalidi. “No, it is not true,†came the crisp reply. Somehow that was exactly the answer I expected. (…)
I have a suggestion for Andy McCarthy and his Hyde Park project. If he really digs down deep enough, he will come up with a Hyde Park figure who stood in constant close contact with Barack Obama and who, unlike Ayers and Khalidi, really did influence Obama’s thinking about law, government, and policy. He is to my way of thinking a genuine radical. His name is Richard Posner, and he appears to be the most frequently and positively cited judge and legal academic in… National Review.”

Goldfarb is despickable bigot , I would never shake his dirty hand, never.
I am so ashamed he is Jewish ..
Obsidian Wings? Haven’t been there since Moe Lane left. Now I remember why. Thanks, sashal.
#3.
it is like talking to a wall, sigh…
Andrea Mitchell: “…but he’s a Nobel Laureate…”. How easily it flows off the tongue to excuse…
Newsweek. Hah.
Goldfarb could have cited Daily Kos. DKos is the unofficial internet HQ of the Obama movement, and it is rife with anti-semitism. There were well-publicized pleas for Obama to do the right thing and condemn this hatred when he attended the Yearly Kos convention, but Obama ignored these pleas.
You’re one of those self-hating Jews, aren’t you sasha.
So sashal’s copypastaed defense consistes of “Some of Khalidi’s best friends are Jewish……….”
McCarthy states that Khalidi “founded†the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). In fact, he neither founded it nor has anything to do with it.
Oh, my, Scott Horton really should talk to the folks at Wikepedia, where it says, “The Arab American Action Network is a Chicago community center founded in 1995, the brainchild of Columbia University historian and Professor of Arab Studies Rashid Khalidi and Columbia University School of International Affairs Assistant Dean Mona Khalidi.
He should probably talk to Mona Khalidi, too, since she was president of the AAAN when the Woods Fund, with O and Ayers on the board, gave them those grants in 2001 and 2002.
And finally he should talk to AAAN itself, since Mona Khalidi is listed as a board member on its website.
Of course, there is the possibility that Rashid Khalidi has “nothing to do” with his wife, and/or that Khalidi doesn’t have a brain. That would explain everything.
self -hating, what a fucking utter bullshit.
You’re clueless much?
I am proud to represent my people, and ashamed of the small smattaring of assholes and morons who call themselves Jewish but in reality those assholes should not be. I think they may have German blood in them somewhere ( sneaked somehow in in the 1930th)…
Joe said it well to his friend Goldfarb
Sashal’s next comment: My English isn’t very good, second language and all, but fuck you fucking fuckers. Fuckety fuck,fuck. Every good conservative should bow to Zul, er I mean Obama..
meant Goldberg instead of Goldfarb in the last link
I can cut and paste too, sashal:

I stand corrected sasha. You’re just a hater.
He emotes. It’s what he does.
He emotes. It’s what he does
But do that in the bathroom is all I’m saying.
so, what your cut and paste showed, BJTex ?
That Khallidi recieved money from McCain ?
That he is anti-semite? No, it did not.
McCainiacks are desperate, throw all shit against the wall, what if something sticks.
BJ, leave ’em,please, republican party self immolated, it turned into the party of smears about nothing, BS artists, shameless liars, duped brainwashed morons, proud ignorants etc.
I love this blog, because it is the island of sanity and intelligence in the sea of wingnut idiotism ( not all commenters of course are sane even here). And I hope you guys will pull yourself from the dark side..
Love you all, closing the store and off to the Halloween party..
sashal == kapo
Wow. I just wish right wingers would grow a pair. This Golfarb character is a frickin’ coward. If you are going to accuse someone of something, be man enough to said what you mean.
Baracky is gay and by that I mean he sucks dirty socialist cock.
cajones!

His boss has instructed him not to mention Pastor Chicken Roost
For reals I mostly take that to mean that McCain is planning on winning and doesn’t want Katie Couric to have a shred of anything she can use to suggest McCain had done anything incitey. Everyone knows already anyway that Baracky went to that America-bashing socialist church what hates them some jews.

LOL, jymn. You have pink underwear on right now, don’t you?

The fact that he cups the balls is what makes him gay.

On OReilly tonight, Dick Morris reported that some independent entity – I didn’t catch the name – is going to go all Wright to the tune of $6 million in advertising this weekend, “twice” what Obama paid for His infomercial.

Hey, Al. What part of Ohio are you in? I’m in Cleveland {shudders}…
I’m in Morrow County and hour and a half south of you on I71. We will go 75% for McCain.
And it’s not because of race either.
*straight face*
*straight face*
hee
We use “and” for “an” in Morrow County.
I was down in the city yesterday. It’s abuzz with Obama love. My neighbor- who I’ve admired for years- went off on how stupid Sarah Palin was.
I get the Obama love, I do. What they don’t get is that it’s not Obama’s color . It’s his views. If Obama doesn’t lose, though, there will be a lot of anger because the message has been that those who resist The One are racist.
GOP Trust Pac. Here’s the ad. A big, fat, racist chicken is coming HOME…. to rooooooooooost.
It’s abuzz with Obama love. My neighbor- who I’ve admired for years- went off on how stupid Sarah Palin was.
Bigotry, self hate, a deathly fear of life and reality – they all sure aren’t very pretty when the mask comes off. I’ve got some very close “neighbors” like this, too, and have learned the hard way to not trust them at any time. Because their disease is truely progressive. My neighbors are always scheming and cloaking. It’s amazing to watch them, experience and parry off their strange initiatives, and feel their “love”.
J. Peden – my neighbors are all black, so the hatin’ on Palin isn’t a self-hate. It’s not even bigotry. It’s the media. The Palin smears are full-out frontal assault by just about every media venue available.
FTR – my neighbor and I have really NEVER spoken politics, outside of local politics. I found his Palin attack really out of character. I think he just assumed – since everyone he knows hates Palin – that I must feel the same. He prolly thought that I’d be like Noonan and Buckley or something. I’m sure the outlets he listens to have been drumming the “even the conservatives hate her” meme.
I have been almost waiting for someone to bash Palin in my presence so I could whip out the “I used to live in Alaska” card and denounce every single solitary thing they’ve heard about her as pure-dee 100% unadulterated bullshit.
No takers so far, but there may still be time.
Another oddity: our buddies over on the left have spent over a half decade deriding the Bush tax cuts, but they’re mysteriously silent on Obama’s promise of tax cuts for 95% of America.
There’s got to be some bodies buried somewhere, and some folks who know where they are.
Oh, holy shit: Tucker Carlson not in a bow tie.
Bush’s tax cuts were for the rich, silly.
And companies that send jobs overseas.
Well, he slipped and gave me a tax cut, too.
Of course, the ever-changing liberal threshold of “rich” may slip under my feet from time to time. Depending on the day, of course.

Algore once defined anyone making $50,000 or more a year as “millionaires”. Because, of course, in 20 years they’ll have brought in a million dollars or more.
That there’s pharmaceutical-grade stupid, that is.
Tell your friends, and show them the proof.
Adolf Hitler was well-known to have used hypnosis on crowds to gain power in Germany. (Just Google it if you doubt it.) So why cant this happen in America? It is happening.
Now, this document, An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches is really spreading. Many people, including young people, are starting to wake up.
Young people have come up with a saying, “Don’t drink the kool-aid Obama is pushing on you.”
Obama has no accomplishments, we don’t know him, he wrote a memoir, he has racist connections, he is using hypnosis, and he thinks he’s the Messiah and that he should be in control of the world. We’ve seen this story before in Germany in the 1930’s, haven’t we? We know what happened there.
Obama’s use of hypnosis in speeches is why:
-nothing sticks to him
-the huge crowds
-the huge money contributions
-the mesmerized effect, especially in young people, who, because of their imaginations are more susceptible to hypnosis (read the document)
-the exorbitant election fraud, rule-breaking and bias in the media
-he gets away with changing every position
-people are calling him the “greatest leader of a generation” with no accomplishments
You have to read this document to understand how his hypnosis works. Logically and rationally, why not get to know this guy a little more before handing the world over to him? Why not wait?
