The tape that the LA Times reportedly has and won’t release is causing quite a stir. Enough for the McCain camp to demand the release of it.
The LAT on the other hand says this is no real big deal and that they released all the info on the tape over six months ago. The LAT isn’t stupid though. They know that a week out of the election and with actual video, assuming it is all true, could potentially devastate the Obama campaign.
From Politico:
“A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi,” said McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb, citing Obama’s friendship with Khalidi, who is now a professor at Columbia University.
He said the video could, among other things, show how Obama responded to a poem recited at the party accusing Israel of “terrorism” and warning of consequences for U.S. support for Israel, which Goldfarb described as “hate speech.”
“The election is one week away, and it’s unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job — make information public,” he said.
