Obama and Khalidi

I haven't said anything about McCain's latest attempt to paint Obama as a radical by bringing up his connection to Palestinian scholar Rashid Khalidi, but if you've heard anything and are interested in learning more, here are a couple of posts from Matthew Yglesias and Andrew Sullivan. And the Los Angeles Times wrote a story on the topic back in April.

Obama is a thoughtful man with an inquisitive mind. It's no surprise that he has conversations with people with whom he disagrees. And wouldn't you want someone who understood both sides of the debate working to bring about peace in the Middle East?

There is no new news here... just McCain grasping at straws.
