The new story is that the Los Angeles Times is withholding a story, and by association protecting the candidate, about him
"attending a 2003 party for a Palestinian-American professor and critic of Israel. The paper said it had written about the event in April and would not release the tape because of a promise to the source who provided it."
Although both candidates (McCain and Palin) are criticizing Obama's longtime friend who was said to have been at the party, McCain also has ties to Rashid Khalidi. This man has been accused of being a former spokesperson for the Palestine Liberation Organization, a position he has denied in the past. The interesting this tis that McCain has ties to this man also, through a group partially founded by Khalidi. This group has received over four hundred thousand dollars from an organization chaired by McCain.
To add to the controversy, Jamie Gold, the newspaper's reader's representative said this of the alleged cover up,
"More than six months ago the Los Angeles Times published a detailed account of the events shown on the videotape,"
There are no details out in the open about the source used by the newspaper, and The Times has refused to respond to the criticism.
McCain, in his recently attained whiny stance, complained that the paper has become bias, and that by suppressing the article, they have openly endorsed Obama.
This is just another tactic to discredit Obama and lend into peoples fears that he will possibly cause a World War III. This is why the younger generation is so sick of politics, this type of mudslinging is exhausting and childish. McCain needs to realize that the race is won, and not by him.
