Rudy Giuliani's attempt to link Barack Obama to Rashid Khalidi falls flat, when in the end, he ends up linking his boy John McCain... to William Ayers! Turns out McCain made a generous donation to Mr. Khalidi. Oops!

Reports of the partial guest list at the 2003 dinner include "the Sanabel Debka troupe", but the group's name is really "Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe." Sanabel means "grains" or "kernels" #of wheat or barley# in Arabic.

This is a video of a lecture by professor Rashid Khalidi. As you can see there is nothing nefarious discussed, nothing radical. He just speaks of the situation that Palestine is in. He is not the monster that the Mccain campaign has tried to make him out to be.

McCain funded Rashid Khalidi and now criticizes Obama for meeting with him

McCain Camp Continues its Focus on Ayers...Why?

The McCain campaign continues to drive home the Ayers issue in hopes to raise eyebrows enough to make a difference in his rival's poll numbers. But harder to understand is why McCain's relentless focus on Ayers? Aren't there more important underlying issues here?
