Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech to the Federalist Society tonight. It appears to have been a stroke. Prayers.

What we’ve seen in the smears against Sarah Palin go beyond the normal post-election squabbling.

All is not lost. An Obama presidency does provide an opportunity for Conservatives.

More video evidence that “hope” and “change” really mean “typical politician.” The man has flip flopped more than John Kerry did in 2004.

You have to admit that Saturday Night Live has done a spectacular job at becoming relevant again during the campaign. (Olbermann-bashing bonus)

As if the stark reality that Barack Obama is an all out radical isn’t cemented in your mind just yet, this should help (via Hugh Hewitt):
Khalidi is a Columbia professor and strong advocate for the Palestinians. He is a man of the left, and he is close to Obama and Ayers. Obama’s friendship with Khalidi would be unsettling to many supporters of Israel --if it was well known, which it isn’t. How close have Obama and Khalidi been?
Hugh then quotes a Los Angeles Times article titled “Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama”:
It was a celebration of Palestinian culture—a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
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.”
Today, five years later, Obama is a U.S. senator from Illinois who expresses a firmly pro-Israel view of Middle East politics, pleasing many of the Jewish leaders and advocates for Israel whom he is courting in his presidential campaign. The dinner conversations he had envisioned with his Palestinian American friend have ended. He and Khalidi have seen each other only fleetingly in recent years.
And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor’s going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.
Their belief is not drawn from Obama’s speeches or campaign literature, but from comments that some say Obama made in private and from his association with the Palestinian American community in his hometown of Chicago, including his presence at events where anger at Israeli and U.S. Middle East policy was freely expressed.
Keep an eye on Stanley Kurtz of National Review in this space, he’s been at the forefront of researching Obama’s allies. We’ll be sure to post any articles from him on the subject.
Check out Hugh’s interview (he is the single best interviewer in the business, seriously) with Kurtz here.
UPDATE: Fox News’ John Gibson did a report on Khalidi, learn more about Obama’s buddy here (h/t Jennifer Rubin at Contentions):
God forbid we have a president that is open-minded and who tries to find common ground with different types of people.
The McCain campaign has become a disgrace, and it is only further dividing an already dangerously divided nation.
Enough is enough.
Right on Jonny. And when Obama finishes his tour of Europe apologizing for our actions over the past 8 years, we can all take out the acoustic guitars and sing Kumbaya.
Get over it, there are some people who you’re not supposed to find common ground with. Ahmadinejad wants to kill all jews and wipe out Israel, we don’t want that to happen, where exactly is the common ground we can find to placate that mad man?
Seriously just change the name of this site to neoconpolitics.com.
“As if the stark reality that Barack Obama is an all out radical”.
RNC talking points woo woo.
Hoebag,
I take that as a compliment, thank you.
These associations should be deeply deeply troubling to all Americans. The people with whom Obama associated, prior to launching his presidental bid, are radicals. True radicals, not liberals.
There are plenty of liberals who love this country and what it stands for - they just have a different view of how to go about expressing it. However, leftists and radicals are very different. They operate on the underlying theme the the U.S. is a bad place run by bad people with the wrong ideals. Radicals want to either destroy the country as we know it or alter how it works such that we would not recognize it.
Why do these associations not receive more coverage? It’s disturbing, but that’s just how it goes I guess. Informed voters need to know who they are voting for and, for all of our sake’s, lets hope that they will get acquainted with the real Obama soon enough.
It’s hard to believe that so many American people just dismiss who a person hangs out with and associates with and dismisses it as no big deal. Obama even says that McCain’s association with Bush is a tell tell sign of what McCain will do if president.....so does that go along with what he will becasue of his associations? Hmmmm ponder that!!!
It is very unsettling to find out that the L.A. Times will not release public information showing Obama with his terrorist friends Ayers & Khalidi. The L.A. Times should be boycotted and prosecuted for suppressing information over a poltical agenda.(L.A. Times Endorsed Obama)
It is truly frightening to learn Obamas ties with radicals and terrorist is growing every day. You really have to question his intentions to be President of the free world.
Obamas inner circle -Ayers, Wright, Khalidi, Rezko.
If you believe in the American Dream its time to fight for McCain.
