    Obama advisor wants talks with terrorists

    The revelations about Obama's relationship with Khalidi follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

    Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.


    Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.

    Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

    ELECTION 2008
    Obama worked with terrorist
    Senator helped fund organization that rejects 'racist' Israel's existence

    JERUSALEM ??? The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.

    The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.

    In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

    Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

    Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.

    Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

    The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year.

    The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."

      What kind of hate filled rhetoric are you listening to? McCain paid for Khalidi's research. just look it up on google. If Obama is guilty, then so is McCain. Obama was put on the board with Ayers by a Reagan appointee and also served with several republicans. Ayers' radicalism ended when Obama was 8 years old. He is a respected part of his community now and Professors from all over the country signed a letter of support of him. Shall we go on a witch hunt? Do you really think a person could be a senator without background checks?

      ???Never before in this country has a government fallen so low to a place in popular estimation or been so universally an object of cynical contempt. Never before has a (president) given his name so freely to latrines and offal dumps, or had his face banished from the cinema screen to avoid the hoots and jeers of children.???

      "This is more then a political campaign. It is a call to arms. Give me your help, not to win votes alone, but to win this crusade to restore America???I am waging a war against destruction, delay, deceit and despair.???

      THE FIRST QUOTE WAS BY A POLITCAL COMMENTATOR IN 1932.

      THE SECOND WAS BY PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT IN 1932.

      Is this not where the United States stands today? SEEM A LOT LIKE 1932.

    Now Barack Hussein Obama is a close friend of and praises a PLO supporter in Rashid Khalidi
    and the LA Times has the video tape proof.

    Obama makes Bill Belichek look like an angel with all these disturbing videos floating around of
    Obama's radical associations.

    It???s pretty easy for Obama or anyone else to attack George Bush on his economic policies but Obama can't attack George Bush on his record on fighting terrorists to protect America while he
    is busy wining and dining with terrorists !!

    Barack Hussein Obama should be tried for treason and being a threat to US national security.

    Barack says he has the right to distribute your money the way he sees fit. That???s dictatorship.

    If Americans look to the past like Barack Hussein Obama is always doing ....then Obama wins and America will greatly suffer.

    If Americans want to look to the future and stop dwelling on the past like McCain.....then McCain wins and America will start to revive.

    An old wise man said once ... " You live in the past...you die in the past " ...this is the Obamabots downfall.

    Fareed Zakaria's article was well written. But what astonished me was the hate filled comments that were posted! Just because someone is an Arab or Muslim (or has name that sounds like one), one shouldn't associate with that person???!!!! Colin Powell said it well when he said that being a muslim does NOT disqualify one from being President. What happened to America-Land of equal opportunity and freedom for EVERYONE?? This election truly will be a test for whether this country will uphold it's founding principles.

    Fareed Zakaria, are you completely nuts???!!! Do your homework before attempting to write about things you have not researched. It has come to light that Barack Obama is not even legal to run for president! Check out this website: http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/?pageId=2256 He is not a natural born citizen, so is automatically dis-qualified to run for the office of president of the United States of America! That is the reason he is so secretive concerning his birth certificate and other legal documents! He is an illegal alien, eccentially. I challenge anyone who does NOT fear the truth to check ot the website. If he wins this election, he will be setting himself up to be prosecuted for falsely representing himself. Why is the media not broadcasting this info all over the networks, the newspapers, from the rooftops?! I think we all know the answer to that.

    Why is it that people tend to forget that the least experienced Presidential candidate in our history became our greatest President and faced our greatest crisis. Lincoln served exactly one two year term in the US House of Representatives. Age and experience don't necessarily indicate wisdom or ability, merely survival. Among our most experienced and educated Presidents was Herbert Hoover and that dindn't turn out too well.
