Reward of $175,000 Offered for LAT Obama Tape!

[Dan]

A hedge fund manager is offering a reward of $150,000 in exchange for a tape that shows Barack Obama at a 2003 dinner for a Palestinian scholar.

Aston Grimaldi II said he would pay out the money to whomever can provide a tape of the 2003 event for Rashid Khalidi, which the Los Angeles Times has written about but has refused to release. Grimaldi's offer letter is available at Dirty Harry's Place, a conservative blog.

"Being an extreme fiscal conservative and somewhat of a social liberal, the number one thing to me is transparency and open government," said Grimaldi. "Those rules and standards should apply also to the press."

Dirty Harry's Place also says that it received an e-mail from someone else who will give another $25,000 to whomever can come up with the tape.

The McCain campaign has accused the Times of suppressing the video and has called on the Times to release it.

Grimaldi, speaking on the phone in Monaco, said that he would pay his reward out of one of his personal accounts. Grimaldi, a citizen of both the United States and Monaco, said he read about the tape in the International Herald Tribune and has heard from Israeli friends who want to see it.

"One of the most important things they look at in a potential candidate is the viewpoint on israeli relations," he said.

Grimaldi said it was "incredibly unfair" for the Times not to release the tape.

"It shows an incredible bias," he said.

It has recently come to the attention of Freedom March.org that the Los Angeles Times is in possession of a videotape that allegedly features then Illinois state senator Barack Obama toasting Rashid Khalidi. Mr. Khalidi is a former spokesman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Khalidi’s ties to this terrorist organization along with his many anti-Israel statements are very disturbing, even more so if he has the friendship and support of a potential US President! Freedommarch.org believes that the refusal of the Times to release this tape is but one more example of the clear bias in the “main stream media” and further demonstrates the refusal of the media to fully and completely vet the man who in one week may be elected to the highest office in our great nation. We call for patriots everywhere to join us in demanding the immediate release of this tape along with any other information the Times possess about the relationship between Khalidi and Obama. The American people have the right to full and complete disclosure with respect to the man who has asked us to trust him with the most sensitive of information. Nothing less than our national security and that of Israel is potentially at stake. The Times has a moral and patriotic duty to release the tape and tell the truth. The dereliction of duty on the part of the American press in this election has never been more clear than it is today as the Times seeks to protect Obama from the truth and from his questionable past.
