Oh geezus. You're worried that Obama "may" have had connections with a Saudi 25 years ago?

George Bush and Dick Cheney regularly tongue kiss them RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

This is retarded. Peddle the BS somewhere else.

The article says that Obama had close ties to a Saudi adviser. If you read the article you'll see that the guy advised some Saudis on a real estate deal, and some other investments. He's a lawyer. Lawyers do that.

I think it's a non-story, really. I wouldn't worry about it.

Is this like the story about McCains illegitimate black child? Boy, was that a bombshell in the 2000 election!
Funny that it doesn't bother the Republicans now.

Check your source, which should have given you a good clue.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=NewsMax.com

NewsMax.com (NewsMax Media, Inc.) "serves up the news with a conservative slant. The company publishes alternative news and opinion content through its monthly 300,000-subscriber magazine NewsMax and corresponding Web site. The company generates sales from politically-oriented merchandise (clothing, posters, books) showcasing stars of the Republican Party.

There is ample evidence to support the theory that NewsMax is one of a growing number of right-wing "news" sources and blogs that act as an echo chamber for the conservative viewpoint.

Dr. Khalid al-Mansour advises Al-Waleed bin Talal "He has been nicknamed by Time magazine as the Arabian Warren Buffett."

In 2002, Al-Walid donated $500,000 to the George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship Fund, established by the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, to honor former President George H. W. Bush.



Based on the logic of those people sending this story all over the internets, then Bush41 must support OPEC, too.

These jokers are on a mission to keep sticking Obama next to Muslims who don't have nice things to say about Jews.

Al-Mansour is a pretty powerful and wealthy guy himself and really into raising the status of all Black men.

Black geniuses like Barack stand out and it is very possible al-Mansour heard about him through the academic grapevine and did what he could to help him. Accepting his help does not make Obama a Muslim and it doesn't mean he's anti semitic.

These hacks can't have one standard for White people and another for Black people. The Bush Family is so far up the colon of the Saudi's and yet we all accept the Bush's as Christians who find common ground with the Jew and the Old Testament, after all Jesus was a Jew. But when a Black man is seen within a 100 yards of a Muslim, he himself must be a Muslim. A magical conversion happens to Black people if they stand too close to a Muslim, everybody knows that! sarcasm.gif, and gawd forbid he accepts a helping hand from a Muslim...that will turn him into an anti semitic Muslim for sure sarcasm.gif

I'm so tired of this shit.

PS, NewsMax is like Foxnews. They catapult the propaganda

Gotta say, I love the RRMB. I had dinner with my one and only Republican friend last night and he brought this up. I hadn't heard about it, but I guess it's making the rounds in all of the conservative blogs. So sick of this BS.

I did point out the GW had been living deep in the colons of the Saudis for most of his adult life, which he couldn't deny.

What amazes me is any negative stuff that's dug up about Obama will be covered 24/7 on all the media channels and nothing on Palin., mainly her abuse of power, her fanatic religious ramblings, her lies, her fanatic abortion views.

What happened to the good old days when if the public thought there was unfairness, they would protest with letters, going directly the location of perputrator, boycott, etc.

The Main Stream Media attacks Obama from sun up to sun down, remove Democratic Anchors because they support Obama TOO much, Republican spewing racial slurs, statements and false allegations.

AND THE PUBLIC DOES NOTHING!!!! WHAT THIS TELLS ME IS THAT THERE ARE MORE RACISTS IN AMERIAN THAN NOT. IT'S UNFORTUNATE, THAT AFTER OVER 200 YEARS, IN THE 2008, THAT THIS TYPE OF RACISM STILL EXISTS ON SUCH A LARGE SCALE.

Not only, I don't see any DEM surrogates on the campaign trail. That tells me the WHite DEMS don't want a "black" in office either. This is really a sad state of affairs in this country and it does not go unnoticed by other countries.

All this talk about unity, coming together for a common purpose, equality and blah blah,this only applies if it is a WHite WOMAN or WHITE MAN......

It is trash but have to stay on top of your "enemies." Most of the stuff they send is trash but that was the first I ever of that and wanted to get it know they were trying some new lies.

Frankly, with that tame description, I gotta worry about Sourcewatch now!

One really need only consider that NewsMax "reporters" include one Jerome Corsi, the fraud who transcribed a few hundred pages of slime from blogs, anonymous e-mails and the internet to compile what he calls a book about Barack Obama.

I would be a little wary of anything from Newsmax. They use to send me a lot of rightwing trash, before I blocked them.

THIS STORY HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCREDITED.

And by the Sutton family itself:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/090...ry.html?showall



QUOTE
Sutton had suggested in an interview that a former Black Panther and advisor to Saudi royals, Khalid al-Mansour, had played some previously unknown role in Obama's pre-political life....
This evening, a spokesman for Sutton's family, Kevin Wardally, e-mailed over a statement that (because there's absolutely no other evidence for the story, and much that contradicts it) seems to put the story to rest for good:

The information Mr. Percy Sutton imparted on March 25 in a NY1 News interview regarding his connection to Barack Obama is inaccurate. As best as our family and the Chairman's closest friends can tell, Mr. Sutton, now 86 years of age, misspoke in describing certain details and events in that television interview.

Here's what happened. The rightwing callously USED an old man to try to falsely impugn Barack Obama's reputation.

That's it.

The lies about Barack are treated as truths despite being disproven, and the ugly truths about McCain and Palin are treated as lies.

THAT is what's going on here.
