McCain is criticizing Obama's ties to a guy McCain gave a million bucks to. Now that's ballsy. And more than a tad erratic. ABC's Jake Tapper has more.
McCain has his own connection to Khalidi.Of course, that's not all. Only one candidate in this race has ties to Nazi sympathizers, and that's John McCain.
In 1993, McCain became chairman of the International Republican Institute. He still chairs that respected organization.
That same year, Khalidi helped found the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, self-described as “an independent academic research and policy analysis institution” created to meet “the need for active Palestinian scholarship on issues related to Palestine.” (Its archived website is HERE.)
Khalidi was on the board of trustees through 1999.
According to tax returns the McCain-chaired IRI funded the organization Khalidi founded and served on to the tune of $448,873 in 1998 (click HERE to see the tax return) and to the tune of $389,621 in 1999 (click HERE) as first reported by Seth Couter Walls at HuffPo.
PS Don't forget McCain's buddy who said that Hitler was sent by God to kill the Jews.
NB And don't even get me started on Sarah Palin's extensive ties to anti-Semites.
