CNN: Bizarre interview re: Khalidi

[Staph]

Rick Sanchez just had an interview with Michael Goldfarb of the Weekly Standard concerning Rashid Khalidi. Goldfarb was, of course, ranting that the LA Times should release the video, blah, blah, blah. Sanchez, surprisingly, supported the right of journalists to protect their sources and allow those sources to set limits of the use of information. Goldfarb countered that this was part of a pattern, that Obama had relationships with other Arab terrorists. Sanchez asked for the name of any other Arab; Goldfarb named Ayers. Sanchez said, no, Ayers isn't an Arab, name an Arab. Goldfarb just said, you know who I mean, you know who I'm talking about. Sanchez pressed him (big surprise!), and Goldfarb continued to say, you know who I mean. Break for commercial; Goldfarb is gone.

Am I in Bizarro World? Rick Sanchez is pushing back against the right wing loonies? And who on earth is Goldfarb talking about?

6. How many repub talking points have been torn apart by the "one example" question?

...as I recall that is how Campbell Brown managed to kick Tucker Bound's ass. I think there are other examples too.

7. So, when can Khalidi start suing the sorry bigoted asses off of all the folks.

An American-born academic of Palestinian descent who is one of the dons of Modern Middle Eastern history in the U.S.

I've said it elsewhere....

Remember what happened when they started going after academics in the past....

9. He Is Indeed A Superb Historian, Sir: 'The Iron Cage' Is A Most Valuable Book

Calling this scholar an 'anti-Semite' and 'supporter of terrorists' is swill of such a low degree that to call it contemptible would be an elevation of its status....
