Compromising Position and the LA Times

It is no secret the L.A. Times is holding back a damning video tape of Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi. We will continue on the premise that this allegation is factual. The L.A. Times never tried to hide the fact they have such a video. In fact, I'm sure their circulation has skyrocketed since this story broke. The question that begs an answer is - 'Why is the L.A. Times holding this tape?'

The easy answer is to show support for their man. Yes, this is election season and the left coast has never been shy about its political leanings, but I'm not ignorant enough to believe the L.A. Times is holding this tape back because they all believe in Obama's message. However, if you look at the L.A. Times ownership, it is not as left coast as one might believe.

Skeletons in the closet have always been a focus during elections. However, the evidence being held at the L.A. Times may prove to be the most beneficial piece of news the Republican party could ever hope for days before an election. Obama can no longer be trusted to represent the people. Whomever is holding that video will have the ability to manipulate his actions in office for the next four years should the unthinkable actually happen.

If I were sitting in the Obama spin room, I would be begging the L.A. Times to release this video. I'm disappointed not one person in the McCain camp managed to bring up the reality that failing to produce this tape puts Obama in the most compromising position any presidential hopeful has ever been in.

If the Chinese governemnet owned a controlling stake in the L.A. Times, would you think any differently? Please think with that mass God put between your ears when you vote next Tuesday.
