Terrorist Bill Ayers - Barack Obama - Jew hater Rashid Khalidi
The Los Angeles Times is withholding a tape from the public that shows Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians openly hostile to Israel and Jews. Barack Obama even gives a toast to PLO operative and Jew hater, Rashid Khalidi, also a Columbia University professor and another mentor to Barack Obama. This celebratory toast took place in 2003 at a Jew bashing meeting.
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit reports that he has been contacted by a major news network that is working on this story. Hopefully, the video surfaces from the vault at the Los Angeles Times.

UPDATE 1: Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs is asking his readers and everyone else to contact the Los Angeles Times and release this video.
Yes, the tape does exist.

CHICAGO — It was a celebration of Palestinian culture — a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
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.
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.”
At Khalidi’s going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. “You will not have a better senator under any circumstances,” Khalidi said.
The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.
I will be calling the Los Angeles Times today and asking that they release the video.
You too can contact the Los Angeles Times.
