I was wondering why I was getting so many paint huffer hits, so I did some googling to see if ol’ Patrick Tribett has been in the news again. It doesn’t appear that he has been in the news since last summer when I posted, Infamous Paint Huffer Nabbed Again! So I have no idea what’s causing the uptick.
But I did make a hilarious discovery. Click on the link and scroll down to my update.
People are so silly!
They’re starting to pile up.
Aaron Klein, the Middle East correspondent for WND, and author of the book, Smoozing With Terrorists, has the scoop:
The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist, granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.
The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi’s wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.
Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2001.
Obama served on the Wood’s Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.
Discover the Networks sums up Khalidi, thus:

Aaron Klein goes on:
AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi was reportedly a director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, while the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group. Khalidi’s wife, AAAN President Mona Khalidi, was reportedly WAFA’s English translator during that period.
Rashid Khalidi at times has denied working directly for the PLO but Palestinian diplomatic sources in Ramallah told WND he indeed directed WAFA. Khalidi also advised the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid Conference in 1991.
In case you were thinking that the Woods Fund donation to WAFA was just a one-time, incidental, run in with Obama, think again:
According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.
Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful fundraiser for Obama’s failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi.
Not surprisingly, Khalidi supports Obama for President.
Obama raised funds for the Palestinian Deheisha camp, described as a ‘Very active’ terror apparatus.
I wonder if Farrakhan’s “space brothers” have been communicating with him again:
In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better.
The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours’ Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.
“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said. “This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. (What? No white???) If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed.”
No, I believe the word is fooled.
Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion’s founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” he told the crowd of mostly followers. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
A…..Messiah, perhaps?
Gateway Pundit said it best:
It’s now an official mutual admiration party: Obama loves his minister- His minister loves Farrakhan- Farrakhan loves Obama.
A Circle of Hope!
Farrakhan also leveled small jabs at Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama’s rival for the Democratic nomination, suggesting that she represents the politics of the past and has been engaging in dirty politics.

Finally, an endorsement she’s not going to get, that she doesn’t actually want.
Seriously though….is the McCain campaign taking notes? This needs to come back and haunt him as does so many other things.
