Thats not what the propaganda is suppose to accomplish. Here's a little factoid for you to digest before you again bring up Kahlidi and associate him with Obama.

Barack Obama as holding anti-Israel views because of his relationship with Palestinian-American Professor Rashid Kahlidi. They claim that Kahlidi holds a “very hostile view of Israel” and has “a connection to the PLO.” The “public record” shows that Khalidi is a well-respected, mainstream scholar of Middle Eastern studies. The inaccuracy of the McCain camps characterization of Khalidi as being "hostle to Israel" and a supporter of the PLO, is the fact that while McCain served as chairman of the board for the International Republican Institute he distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, totaling $448,873.
