Barack Obama-Rashid Khalidi, another disturbing association
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. [Tonight]
Khalidi is a former professor at the University of Chicago 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.
Daniel Pipes was on Hannity's America several months ago discussing Khalidi. I don't know if tonight's program is new or a re-broadcast. Here is the video, posted at YouTube June 1, 2008:
