Qaeda wants Republicans, Bush “humiliated”: Web video

DUBAI (Reuters) – An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be “humiliated,” without endorsing any party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to a video posted on the Internet.

“O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him,” Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.

Libi, one of the top al Qaeda commanders believed to be living in Afghanistan or Pakistan, called for God’s wrath to be brought against Bush equating him with past tyrants in history.

The remarks were the first comments from a leading al Qaeda figure referring, albeit indirectly, to the U.S. elections. Muslim clerics often end sermons by calling on God to guide and support Muslims and help defeat their enemies…

Isn’t it odd how closely Al Qaeda’s talking points and those of the Democrat Party align?

Speaking of the DNC, somehow this video has yet to make an appearance on Google’s YouTube.

Instead, a YouTube search for Al Qaeda returns “Al Qaeda Endorses McCain” as the top hit.

Why is that, do you think?

LA Times Refuses to Release Tape of Obama Praising Controversial Activist

LA Times Refuses to Release Tape of Obama Praising Controversial Activist - FOXNews.com Elections

The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and '80s.

According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April, Obama was a "friend and frequent dinner companion" of Rashid Khalidi, who from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from Beirut with the PLO.

In the article -- based on the videotape obtained by the Times -- Wallsten said Obama addressed an audience during a 2003 farewell dinner for Khalidi, who was Obama's colleague at the University of Chicago, before his departure for Columbia University in New York. Obama said his many talks with Khalidi and his wife Mona stood as "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases."...

Let's keep it moving, folks. Nothing to see here. Just a guy I worked with at the college. Heck, I was only in my twenties or thirties when this guy was the spokesman for a terrorist organization. How was I supposed to know what he stands...err...uh... stood for way back then?

Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days

Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days - FOXNews.com Elections

Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism.

But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.

Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."...

Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers

Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers - FOXNews.com Elections

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

Remember folks, this is NOT about whether Obama is a terrorist. No one thinks Obama is a terrorist. This about the type of people Barack Obama chooses to associate with. Not people who he just happens to know - people he chooses to know. It goes to the heart of the character of Obama himself that he has to distance himself from everyone who has had a significant impact on his life.

His friend and co-worker of ten years, Bill Ayers - who's "just a guy" in his neighborhood

His friend and major fundraiser, Tony Rezko - Whose name he will not speak.

His priest of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright - whose sermons he apparently never listened to.

His friend, Khalid al-Mansour, former Black Panther leader that helped get him into Harvard - um...who???

His neighbor of 15 years, Minister Louis Farrakhan - apparently Obama doesn't know who he is.

None of these people would disqualify Obama from running for President - so why does Obama insist on minimizing his relationships with people who obviously had so much of an effect on his life?

Remember people, the trouble with Clinton wasn't that he had oral sex with an intern in the White House (no matter how much the Democrats want you to think it was). It was about his dishonesty about it - both under oath and with the American people. Character matters people!

AP Shows Bias With ‘Racist Palin’ Hit Piece | Sweetness & Light

Someone...anyone...please explain to me how discussing Obama's "palling around with terrorists" is racist. Anyone?

AP Shows Bias With ‘Racist Palin’ Hit Piece Sweetness & Light

from the article:

Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?

In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.

Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism.

What was Obama's friend, Bill Ayers doing? No Regrets - Chicago Magazine - August 2001

This is what Bill Ayers was doing in 2001, when Barack Obama was 40 (not 8) and AFTER Barack became friends with him and launched his political career at Ayers' house. He seems like such a sweet guy, I guess he didn't want to get his shoes dirty so he needed to keep them from touching the ground...

No Regrets - Chicago Magazine - August 2001 - Chicago

At 55, Bill Ayers, the notorious sixties radical, still carries a whiff of that rock 'n' roll decade: the oversize wire-rim glasses that, in a certain light, reveal themselves as bifocals; a backpack over his shoulder—not some streamlined, chic job, but a funky backpack-of-the-people, complete with a photo button of abolitionist John Brown pinned to one strap.

Yet he is also a man of the moment. For example: There is his cell phone, laid casually on the tabletop of this neighborhood Taylor Street coffee shop, and his passion for double skim lattes. In conversation, he has an immediate, engaging presence; he may not have known you long but, his manner suggests, he's already fascinated. Then there is his quick laugh and his tendency to punctuate his comments by a tap on your arm.

Overall, it is not easy to imagine him as part of the Weatherman, a group that during the late sixties and early seventies openly called for revolution in America, led a violent rampaging protest in Chicago, and took credit for numerous bombings around the United States.

The Obama-Khalidi Connection

I just don't how Obama can hang around with known terrorists and terrorist supporters and still not be called out on it by the mainstream media.  Are they really THAT biased that they won't cover these stories?  They spent weeks investigating whether or not George W. Bush missed a dentist appointment in 1973 but can't find the time to cover things like this?

American Thinker Blog: The Obama-Khalidi Connection

Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes will discuss the close relationship between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi - Palestinian supporter and the professor at Columbia University - on a special broadcast of "Hannity's America" which will air tomorrow night at 9:00 PM eastern time.
Khalidi is a former professor at the University of Illinois and was a close friend of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. At a farewell dinner for Khalidi before he took the Columbia job, Obama 's speech was filled with glowing praise for his friend, including references to the many meals they had shared. He thanked Khalidi for opening his eyes about the problems of the Palestinians.
Khalidi himself has given vocal support to suicide bombers:

During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an "apartheid system in creation" and a destructive "racist" state.  
He has multiple times expressed support for Palestinian terror, calling suicide bombings response to "Israeli aggression." He dedicated his 1986 book, "Under Siege," to "those who gave their lives ... in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon." Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism.

Khalidi's wife Mona ran the Chicago area charity, the Arab American Action Network, that received substantial assistance from the Woods Fund, a left wing foundation that Obama and unreconstructed terrorist Bill Ayers were Board members. The AAAN was notorious for its pro-Palestianian sympathies.

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL - New York Post

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Amazing... "hey, hold on now, can't you wait until I'm President to figure this out?  Otherwise, how am I going to get the credit for it?
