McCain Thanks L.A. Times For Courage

Scott Ott of Scrappleface sticks it to the L.A. Times in this sarcastic piece of satirical reporting as reports of the Times hiding a piece of 2003 footage highlighting Obama’s support of the Arafat regime.  Israel be afraid, be very afraid…

(FLORIDA) — John McCain today withdrew his demand that the Los Angeles Times release video footage taken in 2003 of then-state Sen. Barack Obama praising controversial Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, and he instead thanked the paper for its courage.

“I changed my mind, and I want to thank you,” said Sen. McCain in a letter to editors at the Times. “You folks go ahead, stick with your bold decision to keep that video secret. After all, what’s a free press for, if not to withhold news that people don’t really need, or that might cause discomfort just a few days before an election?”

“My friends, if you journalists want to keep folks guessing about what you’re hiding and why,” he wrote, “that’s your right. If you want people to wonder if your decision is driven by your commitment to protect your anonymous source (whoever that may be) or by your recent endorsement of Sen. Obama for president, you have that freedom.”

During a political rally today, the Republican presidential candidate encouraged undecided voters, “not to make too much of this top-secret video, in which Sen. Obama allegedly toasts his ‘friend and frequent dinner companion’ Rashid Khalidi, the former director of the Palestinian press agency during the Yassir Arafat era.’”

“After all,” Sen. McCain added, “it’s been 30 years since the Coastal Road massacre when Palestinian soldiers hijacked a bus, slaughtering 37 Israeli civilians and wounding 71. Rashid Khalidi was merely director of the Palestinian press agency at that time, kind of like a journalist. He didn’t actually fire any of those weapons that day.”

Sen. McCain also came to the defense of his opponent, noting that Sen. Obama was only 17 years old when the massacre took place, and that Rashid Khalidi is “just a guy in Sen. Obama’s neighborhood, like Bill Ayers, who is now a respected scholar.” — as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Most of the Obamanista lemmings have been so brainwashed by his campaign and his silver tongued rhetoric that he could be in league with Bin Laden himself and they would still vote for him before voting for a Republican. That’s how deeply they have drunk from and emptied the Obama “Kool-aid” punch bowl.
