McCain and Palin hammer the LA Times over their refusal to show the Obama/Khalidi tape
FOX News (via Hot Air) reports that the LA Times is still refusing to let the video of Obama attending a dinner held by Rashid Khalidi. McCain and Palin have spoken out against them for witholding it:
“Apparently this is a tape with a dinner that Mr. Ayers, the former, and now still, unrepentant terrorist, who was at, and also the, one of the leading spokespersons for the PLO. Now, why that should not be made public is beyond me,” McCain told La Kalle radio.I do hope that the rising discussion about the tape will press the LAT to release it. But there's still no telling if they will.
“I guarantee you, if there was a tape with me and Sarah Palin and some neo-Nazi or one of those, you think that that tape wouldn’t be made public? Of course, Americans need to know, particularly about Ayers, and also about the PLO. So hopefully there will be enough pressure on the L.A. Times that it’ll come out, but its really unfortunate that we have to go through this,” McCain continued…
Palin said she wants to know how Obama responded to derogatory comments said about Israel and America’s support for its ally during the party.
“Israel was described there as the perpetrator of terrorism instead of the victim. What we don’t know, what we don’t know, is how Barack Obama responded to these slurs on a country that he now professes to support, and the reason is the newspaper that has the tape, The Los Angeles Times, refuses to release it,” she said. “It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that.”
