Amanda Carpenter: Re: Khalid al Mansour and Obama

This guy is clearly a radical and he was helping Obama gain acceptance into Harvard, possibly raising money for Obama if Sutton is to be believed. This guy is Rev. Wright all over again. If Obama is worried about Ayers, his day just got a whole lot worse. Start at the 3:07 mark ...

The wrong man, sir
Published 8/27/2008 by Richard Fernandez at Belmont Club
Townhall links to a video in which civil rights activist Percy Sutton claimed he was asked by a certain “Dr. Khalid al Mansour”, adviser to ‘one of the richest men in the world’ to write a letter of reccomendation on behalf of Barack Obama to help him gain acceptance to Harvard many years ago.  Mansour was raising money for Obama at the time, according to Sutton. Townhall identifies the Mansour in question as a preacher from Islam Studios. However, Townhall may have erred in its identification. The Islamic preacher is unlikely to have been any kind of adviser to billionaries. However, this Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tario Al-Mansour is much ...

Obama's Saudi connection

Obama's Saudi connection At Townhall.com, Amanda Carpenter unearthed a video in which New York civil rights activist Percy Sutton , who was Manhattan Borough President when I was in college in New York City, claims that he was introduced to Barack Hussein Obama by Khalid al-Mansour and asked to get Mansour into Harvard Law School. What's more interesting is that Sutton implies that Obama has received moneys from a man to whom Mansour serves as an adviser - HRH Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal. Let's go to the videotape. A partial transcript will follow and then I will discuss who Mansour and Talal are and why if Sutton is correct this ...

• Chris Muir's Day by Day needs your assistance . I don't think that the pay-off it too obscure. • La Shawn Barber, who did a great deal of work to chronicle the Duke Lacrosse Saga, notes that Crystal Mangum—the woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her— has a book coming out on October 1 . My comment: it seems that everyone involved in that case has paid for Mangum’s lies except Mangum herself. • The Donovan does the DNC by proxy: Different women, same politics . • Mocking the Left: Who better to identify the art of Bravo Sierra than a former Soviet agitprop pooper ?

Obama camp denies Sutton story
Published 9/4/2008 by media@politico.com (Ben Smith) at Ben Smith's Blogs
Barack Obama's campaign is flatly denying a story told by former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, who cast an ex-Black Panther turned Muslim businessman and lecturer as a key Obama mentor, but whose story seems off in at least one key detail. Sutton's story, told in what NY1 said was a March 25 interview, has been lighting up the conservative blogs for the last week. Sutton, now in his late 80s and mostly off the public stage, told NY1's Dominic Carter that he was asked to write a letter of recommendation to Harvard Law School on Obama's behalf by a man named Khalid al-Mansour of Texas, "the principle ...

Obama and the Integrity Gap: Rootless Ambition

Chapter two of seven II. Barack Obama: The Greasy Pole Note on sources: You can follow the links here, as I've linked to sources for nearly all the factual assertions, and mark additional sources with an asterisk *. Where appropriate I've indicated sources whose credibility I was uncertain of, but have generally tried to avoid citing much in the way of rumor. Fairly late in the game in assembling this post, I picked up David Freddoso's book The Case Against Barack Obama, which examines a lot of these same issues in more depth and with copious footnotes. I'm indebted to Freddoso's book for ...
