OK, not the Times' head exactly, but the CIO of something called Dune Capital is offering a $150,000 reward for a digital copy of the video being held captive by the LA Times of a dinner in honor of Rashid Khalidi, former Arafat spokesperson, founder of the Arab American Action Network and radical anti-Israel professor (who knew, way back when we first started talking about Rashid Khalidi, that he'd be at the center of such a national whirlwind?):

There is a report that during his toast to Khalidi, Obama said:

Imagine the explosion if that's true? The degree to which Obama has had his radical connections covered up has been astounding, but having him on video actually saying such a thing...? Forget the LA Times, there would be money-bags in the Jewish Community who'd be crying for the sake of their collective necks if this comes out (oh please, let it be true). I'd expect some serious backlash against the likes of Alan Solomont, the NJDC and J-Street (all one and the same) for all the excuse-making and dissembling and cover they've been doing. As if many of us don't already know we're being betrayed, this would be the capper.

Here's the reported guest-list:

There's an excellent piece (via LGF) here: The Khalidi Tape: Putting the Bits and Pieces Together with New Details that contains the guest list:

Volunteer Solomonia operatives have attempted to contact a couple of those on the list. No surprise that they aren't available.

Here's video background on the former PLO terrorist employee (from the site above):

Discover the Networks has a profile of Khalidi's AAAN here. Here's an interview with AAAN executive director Hatem Abudayyeh that includes a number of choice quotes, such as:

Yeah, that's Hizballah he's talking about. Get the gist?

Barack needs to stop lying about his past and people need to stop covering for him. If he and his allies want to make excuses for all this and try to explain it away, so be it, but let's have the argument on that basis. It's bad enough we have some of the most overt voter fraud in the offing any of us has seen in his or her lifetimes, those of us who are actually legitimate, living voters have a right to have ALL of the facts on the table before we walk into the voting booth.

Update: And here's another disturbing connection: Hatem El-Hady (Elhady). Another Disturbing Unreported Barack Obama Association: a Terrorist Fundraiser
