Video: Fox Report on Obama Connection to Former PLO Member
This is a discussion on Video: Fox Report on Obama Connection to Former PLO Member within the Congress forums, part of the US Discussion category; This is serious stuff. Watch the full video before you dismiss it as a "smear"....
ABC'S CHARLIE GIBSON: In each instance, when the Capital Gains rate was dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?
OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.
Anything coming from Hannity is smear. He gets paid $35 million a year to try to dismiss the Left Wing as a bunch of idiots.
In other words facts don't matter. But hey thanks for admitting it.

I never said that you had no right to have an opinion. I just said that it was, in fact, worth nothing.

When was the last time you read a column from Ariana Huffington or a news article about McCain from the DailyKos?
You did not watch the video so have no informed information on what was and was not said. But thanks for admitting you are a messiah follower.

I did watch the video, that's how I knew it was Hannity's America, but thanks for admitting you're an ignorant idiot who completely ignores anything that could possibly be bad for the Republican Party and only cherrypicking your news as to what's good for America.
I watch Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly and a healthy dose of FauxNews every day, I also DVR Olbermann, Maddow, Campbell Brown and Anderson 360. I get a very wide range of viewpoints of what's going on out there.
The consesus from all three: McCain's sinking faster than the titanic.
Facts do matter, but not to Hannity. I watched him with Sarah. If his head was any farther up her ass.....He is a shill.

Another rightie believes Obama is the Messiah. Good for you. Ora pro nobis.
And McCain is the Anti Crist.

According to Ha'aretz and Jerusalem Post, an overhwlming majority of Jewish voters support Obama. Obama could have had the Jewish vote if he picked Lieberman or someone else more centrist. When he picked Palin, he gave up the Jewish vote. That's #1.
As a Zionist, I've known about Obama's relationship with Rashid Khalidi for a while. And I've researched who Rashid Khalidi is. He is an Arab who has been vocal in concern inthe past about his own people in the West Bank and Gaza. Regarding the proposed two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Khalidi has written that "the now universally applauded two-state solution faces the juggernaut of Israel's actions in the occupied territories over more than forty years, actions that have been expressly designed to make its realization in any meaningful form impossible." However, Khalidi also noted that "there are also flaws in the alternatives, grouped under the rubric of the one-state solution.
He is not a terrorist. He does not have ties to the former PLO. That's complete BS. I've read the articles on him and they're quite subjective and open to intepretation. They don't offer hard facts.
I have breaking news guys: There are Arabs that live here in New York City who are very vocal about their support for the "Palestinians." They do not condone violence, but they do talk about the disproportionate use of force Israel uses. I passionately disagree with them, but at the end of the day, we're not going to agree. In fact, in many metropolitan cities across America, there are many Muslims and Arabs I run into and see on a daily basis. It's called being cultural and accepting that just because you're White and Christian, doesn't mean the rest of the world is.
Hannity is trying to say because Obama knows this guy, they're bust buds and Obama is a terrorist and hates Israel. It's the usual BS. But Jerusalem media has overwhelmingly accepted Obama and reached out to him.
I was watching one of the old Frankenstein movies.
It was mostly conservatives who had the pitchforks out and wanted to kill someone.
It's getting pathetic what crap they bring out now. Obama lives in a city that has criminals. there fore he is a criminal.
PS Retired, he answered, where are you?
