LA Times Reaffirms It Will Not Publish Mysterious Obama, Khalidi Recording

Sep. 20, 2012 2:29pm Sharona Schwartz

The release of the hidden camera Mitt Romney video this week is reminding some conservative bloggers of a talked-about story four years ago, and they’re now asking if and when another potentially explosive videotape will see the light of day.

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit writes:

Say, where’s that Obama/Khalidi tape? Why won’t the L.A.Times release it? Oh, who am I kidding? They won’t release it because it would make Obama look terrible. What other reason can there be?

The Daily Caller writes:

Speaking of secret tapes, remember Rashid Khalidi? The LA Times hopes you don’t.

Daily Pundit writes:

So sure, I want to hear the “misssing” two minutes of the incomplete video. But you know what I’d really like to see? The video of Obama praising Rashid Khalidi to the skies currently being suppressed by the hack propagandists at the Los Angeles Times.

And the pro-Israel blogger Elder of Ziyon writes:

By the way, since Romney’s leaked remarks are so newsworthy, when are we ever going to see the videotape of Obama’s 2003 remarks at the dinner honoring Rashid Khalidi? Why is one off-the-record video leaked and the other one purposefully buried by the media? What is the line between good journalism and partisanship?

Here at TheBlaze we thought those were good questions too, so we contacted the Los Angeles Times to find out if their position – refusing since 2008 to publish the Obama/Khalidi video – has changed on the matter.

First, some background. In April 2008, as the presidential campaign was getting underway, Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times published a story describing the going-away party for Professor Rashid Khalidi, a devoted advocate to the Palestinian cause and a harsh critic of Israel, who was on his way to a position at Columbia University. Khalidi was also a past spokesman for the PLO. The dinner occurred in 2003, when Barack Obama was then an Illinois state senator. Wallsten wrote:

A special tribute came from Khalidi’s friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi’s wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around “this entire world.”

The Times reported that while in Chicago, Obama had attended events where anger at Israel and American Mideast policy “was freely expressed,” including at the Khalidi farewell party where a Palestinian American read a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism against the Palestinians. Another speaker compared Jewish settlers to Osama bin Laden, both said to be “blinded by ideology.”

By contrast, the Times wrote, “Obama adopted a different tone in his comments and called for finding common ground.”

Khalidi’s going-away party in 2003 was recorded, a copy of which was obtained by the Times — which, despite calls from then GOP rival presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and other conservatives, has never agreed to release the tape. The Times said then that it was given the video on condition it not be shown to anyone else and kept that promise.

American Thinker columnist Daren Jonescu writes:

How noble of them. The Romney video was “secret,” as the mainstream media proudly and titillatingly describes it, in the sense of having been acquired through questionable or illegal methods. The Obama-Khalidi video is “secret” because the mainstream media does not want to release it.

Then, the story resurfaced in April this year after the Los Angeles Times decided to publish incendiary photos of U.S. servicemen posing with the body parts of Afghan suicide bombers. Why did the paper’s editors decide to publish those photos – which had been photographed two years before (not a breaking news event) – and not the Obama video which was also a number of years old?

The Times offered this explanation for publishing the Afghan photos to readers:

“We considered this very carefully,” [Editor Davan] Maharaj said. “At the end of the day, our job is to publish information that our readers need to make informed decisions. We have a particular duty to report vigorously and impartially on all aspects of the American mission in Afghanistan. On balance, in this case, we felt that the public interest here was served by publishing a limited, but representative sample of these photos, along with a story explaining the circumstances under which they were taken.”

This summer, Breitbart offered a $50,000 reward to whoever can provide a verifiable, complete recording of the 2003 Khalidi farewell dinner. In its reward offer, Breitbart.com wrote that without the tape there was no way to verify reporter Wallsten’s claim that Obama did indeed take a different tone than the more stridently-worded pro-Palestinian attendees. Breitbart.com wrote in July:

Then-reporter Peter Wallsten (now with the Wall Street Journal) noted that the event was one of many signs that had encouraged Palestinian-Americans to believe “that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.”

[Update: On Thursday, Breitbart announced it was doubling the reward, to $100,000.]

On Wednesday TheBlaze contacted Nancy Sullivan, vice president of communications for the Los Angeles Times, via e-mail. We asked her if in light of the emergence this week of the Romney tape that shows the candidate expressing his opinions on the Arab-Israeli peace process, would the LA Times consider making public the Khalidi party tape.

We also asked how the paper wished to respond to those who suggest the paper is being inconsistent in the images it chooses to publish – on the one hand releasing inflammatory images of US soldiers posing with body parts in Afghanistan and on the other hand withholding the recording of Obama.

If the paper’s position on the 2003 Obama tape has not changed, we asked, why does it continue to refuse to release the tape, rather than allow the public to make its own informed decisions based on the impartial information it is able to provide.

This is her answer:

In April 2008, the Los Angeles Times reported first, and in explicit detail about the dinner event and the tape of it. More than six months later, just days before the November 2008 election, the McCain Campaign demanded the public release of the tape. As we stated then, The Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided for review by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not publish the tape itself. The Times keeps its promises to sources and nothing has changed in that regard.

The Afghanistan images you refer to were provided to The Times with permission for their publication.

Therefore, there was no inconsistency in our handling of these two dissimilar situations, and we have received no questions or inquiries — apart from yours — suggesting otherwise.

So there you have it. The tape stays hidden, until any enterprising journalists, GOP researchers or anonymous sources come up with the goods. The parallel with Mother Jones’ Romney tape is interesting: both cases have the power to reveal the candidates’ true opinion on the Arab-Israeli conflict when their guards are low, in a non-public setting.

To reveal or not to reveal the tape sounds a lot like the editorial dilemma that faced the LA Times’ editor in the Afghan photo case. As he said then, the paper’s job is to report “vigorously and impartially” and to publish information that helps the public make “informed decisions.” And what more impactful decision do citizens make than choosing for whom to vote? To vigorously report or to keep a promise to a source? A dilemma indeed.

This story has been updated to include the higher reward amount Breitbart announced.

I’d Sheldon Adelson, Get some insane money for that tape, say $1million.
I can assure you, within a week, we’d have the tape and the 99Percenter who won the money, will have flown to Vegas and gambled it straight back to Las Vegas Sands Corp

  Yep. That evening, surrounded by terrorists and Islamists, Hussein stood up straight and challenged them. In his nearly four years as WH Occupant, we’ve seen him do this consistently. For example, ummm…… Sorry, can’t find one. We did hear him HARANGUE Netanyahu about shrinking Israel’s borders.

  I remember Rashad Kaliedi..he was the PLO spokesperson..the same PLO who gained notoriety through murdering what was it..12 Israeli Olympic contenders? I heard through the grapevine that at the party ..there were muslim dancers immulating cutting off heads….by the way..I was told this morning by a someone watching a Christian program..that someone had filmed Christians being beheaded in the ME..Wallid Shoebat..a former PLO terrorist..who converted to Christianity was on the program telling people not to trust the Muslims.. I believe that they are being used by the un Federal Reserve to bring about the NWO..that “one world religion” which is nothing more than a political faction who lies to their people to get them to carry out their agenda..Think of the 700 billion in TARP that went to Sharia Compliant Banks like Goldman Sachs and Citi Bank who fund organizations funding terrorism..and remember too that Jimmy Carter’s US Security Advisor formed AlQueda to take down Russia as a super power and our CIA created the Muslim Brotherhood..and after Clintons cheated in Al Franken..his job was to invite 300+ muslims from the ME to key positions in our government.. Our presidents are nothing more than puppets to carry out the unfederal reserve’s Communist NWO agenda.. Here is David Rockefeller of Rothchild’s/Rockefeller 13 family unfederal reserve to explain it to ya…

  That makes TWO of them-

  Ironically, the rag that insists Oblameo is a man of Common Ground
  has ZERO credibility in the Common Sense Dept.

  why NOT show it ?
  
  It’s probably hidden in the water tank of the publisher’s toilet-
  hopefully, some sweet, hard-working cleaning lady will find it,

  they can’t release it because it is damning and because the b. hussein regime has put out a death threat on anyone who releases it.

  Funny, Romney talks a lot about people not paying income taxes but he won’t release his. He’s running for office on the idea that people don’t pay enough taxes, but he won’t tell you how much he’s paid? We already know he’s paying less than you and me.
  
  What is it you think is in this video? That President Obama didn’t pay as much taxes you did?

The President and his administration have openly committed treason.
  
  Will a video of the President french kissing one of his jihad good-time buddies really do anything?

  @ Horn, Romney did release tax records, 2 years worth. Why is he being held accountable to release more? As for Obamas school records, he won’t release them because it will show he applied for foreign student aid, which means he is ineligable for POTUS. And it will show that he either lied and worked the system or that his Hawaii birth certificate was manufactured. Hows the koolaid tasting commrade?

According to the 2010 Census data, 26.4% of households had one person enrolled in Medicaid, 16.2% had at least one person getting SS, 15.8% received food stamps, 14.9% had Medicare, 4.5% got assistance with the rent, 1.7% received unemployment benefits.
Forget those who received Medicare, SS and unemployment benefits. You ad the rest of the numbers and you have 46.7%.
Romney didn’t insult anybody.

Why am I not surprised. The last thing the LA Times wants voters to do is make an informed opinion. That explains why they only print those biased stories that will put this man who does not have our American values at heart back in power.

  Speaking of MIA;
  
  Tomorrow is POW/MIA Recognition Day in the United States.
  
  Please pause a moment to remember those who gave their all for our country. (You don’t even need to be a citizen.) Please consider the sacrifice of families and friends who still wait, and the tireless teams who continue to work each day to bring closure to loved ones. Thanks everyone.
  
  POW/MIA 21-9-12

  “That as bad as having a gay friend with this crowd.”
  
  Then you must support Israel then, eh?
  
  The Muslim Palestinians kill lesbians/gays/bisexuals/transgendered.
  
  The Jewish Israelis do not.
  
  Verces, why do you and the Left hate the LGBT crowd so much that you support their murderers?

  “In bringing professor Khalidi to Morningside Heights from the University of Chicago, Columbia also got itself a twofer of Palestinian activism and advocacy. Mr. Khalidi’s wife, Mona, who also served in Beirut as chief editor of the English section of the WAFA press agency, was hired as dean of foreign students at Columbia’s SIPA, working under Dean Anderson. In Chicago, the Khalidis founded the Arab American Action Network, and Mona Khalidi served as its president. A big farewell dinner was held in their honor by AAAN with a commemorative book filled with testimonials from their friends and political allies. These included the left wing anti-war group Not In My Name, the Electronic Intifada, and the ex-Weatherman domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. (There were also testimonials from then-state Senator Barack Obama and the mayor of Chicago.)”

Dotn worry too much about what LA times or any of the other drive by will or wont publish about him.
It wont make any difference…GOD is in total and complete control..and he will absolutely provide the reveal of what/who he is shorlty…. they can report or not report…whatever…
This is so hysterical..it’s hard to get up from the floor from laughter..they think they are so in control..
they have all the stupids out in CA..bamboozled… idiots like b. pitt, j.alba..and a whole laundry list if lost, misguided and seriously easily messed up types…
Oh..well….

The LA Times is part of a Jewish run media conglomerate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribune_Company

Don’t forget that the New York Times is the same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times

Like Pavlovian dogs, information is fed to the American public for a conditioned reflex. Very few control very much of what you know.

  OMG. I love this picture. Obama behind a chain fence. Wonder if it has barbed wire on top. Funny how that works. This president in particular has to be protected behind wire just like prisoners? I wonder if he has a food taster. Everybody check Fox headlines on the net. Love it. Today is a good day. Check Carney’s face.

  Goodstuff, the truth can not be anti-Semitic, but those wishing to hide the truth do call the truth tellers anti-Semitic. It’s the old game, just like racist, homophobe, xenophobe… all designed to fend off the real truth.

I’m sorry, but I agree with the LA Times on this one point. You must respect the wishes of your sources. I’m sure it wasn’t hard for them to respect those wishes, however.

Obama not ‘natural born citizen’ deductively defined and required for eligibility by Article 2, Section 1, as born in U.S. to TWO U.S. citizens!*

Birth certificate & selective service registration proven fraudulent by Sheriff.
Stolen CT SS#.
Sabotaging economy, health care and courts.
Promoting dependency, Marxist redistribution, open borders and vote fraud.
Loathes Constitution, the military and our values.
Compromising the lives of special forces fighters by politically capitalizing on U.S. national security operations and secrets! Abandoned allies.

Omits ‘Creator’ when speaking of our ‘unalienable’ rights, reducing rights bestowed by God to mere privileges permitted by politicians! Dems booed God at their convention.

If God, ‘unalienable’ rights and our Constitution matter more to Mormon and Christian conservative leaders than to democrats, how does one justify extolling religious and patriotic principles while hypocritically condoning the moral relativism of ignoring Art 2, Sec 1, of our Constitution by tolerating the usurpation of the Presidency?

Demand Congress depose and prosecute BO and his co-conspirators! Politicians or judges refusing this duty in violation of their oath of office, must also be regarded as co-conspirators and similarly deposed or voted out of office.

Boycott media advertisers; explain you detest their enabling the worst cover-up in our history!

VOTE!

  And you won’t.
  
  “On July 13, 2012, Tribune Company received approval of a reorganization plan to allow the company to emerge from a Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a Delaware bankruptcy court” -wiki
  
  Apparently Hispanic Americans are not reading that garbage. They *maybe* reading other garbage, but not the LA Times.
  
  The Lame Stream Media is necessarily self limiting. It preaches bad messages like environmentalism among other things. Their readers don’t bring up new cohorts of readers, because they are libs brainwashed by a lib paper.
  
  I love schadenfreude.

Hey Jimmy Carter IV – here is a paying challenge for you – you could have untold wealth – get and publish the Khalidi video.

I suspect that what is int his video is worse than any thing my active imagination can come up with. I suspect this is the case for moat of us. We do not generally think in terms of pure evil – and definitelly do not support it

  Jimmy Carter IV is not interested in earning $ 50,000 dollars.
  
  He wants to be set up for life by TPTB in the Demoncat side.

  $ 100 K would be decent wages for 1 year.
  
  But you understand Jimmy Carter IV is looking for a permanent position with the TPTB not a 1 year payout. Therefore he must curry favor with them.
