Obama tied to yet another radical

September 4th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Yep, here we go again. I wonder if the NYT, CNN, WP, MSNBC, will make room for this story. I know, I know, it doesn’t quite compare to a girl getting pregnant but surely they may make mention of it in some way?

“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.”

Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.

A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.

He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.

But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.

In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.

    I wonder when we’ll be hearing that “Obama has distanced hisself from Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour.” That seems to have worked in the past and kept him free from prime time scrutinity.

    How is this man still wearing skin? No man is this invincible. Why aren’t they having a field day with this?

    How can we trust him as president? hell, how can we trust him to be a U.S. senator?
