    The only thing that makes sense to me is the source that provided the tape thought that the tape would do more damage by being reported on and not released. That way McCain could make a big stink about it making it look like something more than it really is. If you have a tape that isn't news worthy, tell them not to release it, and it all of a sudden becomes news and there is "something to hide."

    Say I had a tape of Cindy McCain rubbing her ear. I sent it in to the news and said here is a tape you can report on but not release.

    You might see it in the paper the next day as "Tape provided by anonymous source of Cindy McCain rubbing herself."

    Crappy tape that you can show that has no value = not news worthy

    Mysterious tape from an anonymous source that cannot be released = big news!!
    That's certainly not the only scenario that could make sense.

    Just another proof of media bias.

    Obama wouldn't have a chance if the media treated both candidates equally.

    "I don't know what's next. By the end of the week, he'll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich," Obama said.

    "It seems that there is yet another radical professor from the neighborhood who spent a lot of time with Barack Obama going back several years," Palin said at an event in Bowling Green, Ohio.
    Anyone else not like her use of the word neighborhood?

    Palin spent her childhood at the Ayn Rand School for Tots.

    Both Ayers and this other guy lived in Obama's neighborhood. OK, now tell me why I'm insensitive or stupid or whatever.

    Total bull by Fox. Desperate guilt-by-association ploy, none of which has worked (outside of the delusional, hate-driven Repug base).

    Megyn and friends exposed as biased, agenda-driven Repug tools.

    One of Fox News' editors gives his opinion:

    Khalidi Tape: The L.A. Times Is on Firm Journalistic Ground

    By Bill Sammon
    Deputy Managing Editor, Washington Bureau, FOX News Channel

    I’m no cheerleader for The Los Angeles Times and I’d like to see their videotape of Barack Obama praising a PLO activist as much as the next guy, but as far as I can tell, the newspaper is on firm journalistic ground in refusing to make the tape public.

    To me, it’s pretty simple. Reporter Peter Wallsten made an agreement with a source to refrain from publicly disclosing the tape. Unless that source lets Wallsten off the hook, the reporter is journalistically bound to abide by the agreement, regardless of how much heat his newspaper takes from pundits on TV.

    Indeed, Wallsten has little choice in the matter. If he were to cave in to mounting public demands for the tape, no self-respecting source would ever give him another shred of information. Nor should they.

    Some critics have questioned why Wallsten would agree to withhold the videotape, which purportedly shows Obama with Rashid Khalidi and other Palestinians who expressed criticism of U.S. and Israeli policies. These critics note that Wallsten was allowed to describe the gathering –- a going-away party for Khalidi — in his story, so why can’t he release the tape in full?

    This aspect of the debate, while perhaps interesting, is nonetheless irrelevant. Again, a deal is a deal, even if it’s a dumb deal. Besides, there may be a perfectly legitimate reason for withholding the tape, such as the possibility that it contains footage that would compromise the unnamed source’s iden y.

    Conspiracy theorists now point to the fact that Wallsten’s story, which was published back in April, contained no explanation about the agreement to withhold the tape from public disclosure. The only explanation of any sort, they note, was this cryptic line: “The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by the Times.”

    But journalistically speaking, there was no compelling reason for The Times to disclose the particulars of the agreement its reporter had reached with the source. Besides, there was no way of knowing months in advance that the story would become a political football in these final days of the campaign.

    Still, other critics have complained that an initial statement released by The Times earlier this week did not mention its agreement with the source. But that does not mean such an agreement did not exist. Unless we have evidence to the contrary, I’m afraid we have to take The Times at its word when it says, however belatedly, that such an agreement indeed existed.

    Democratic strategist Howard Wolfson told me today that Republican presidential candidate John McCain was wasting his time attacking the newspaper for not releasing the tape. Wolfson noted that McCain would be better off, at least politically, demanding that Obama, his Democratic opponent, call for the tape’s release.

    I couldn’t have said it better myself.

    Can anyone tell me why this guy is the Great Satan of the Week again?
