I am not trying to steal thunder from HillBuzz. That blogger is breaking important news. I’m posting the article in full because, having seen what happened to our site, a link to his will kill his server with the flood of traffic. Until Sunday, I was operating on one server. We’re up to four and barely keeping pace. HillBuzz writes at Hillbuzz Blogspot
What’s on the Michelle Obama Rant Tape? Here’s what’s known so far:
The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.
Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks.
Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended.
Michelle Obama spoke at the Women’s Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant — his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.
For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on “whitey”, and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that’s when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who’s seen this.

This outburst happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.
Okay, where is this proof? He’s the nominee now, it can be shown. Where is it?
He said that people looking for this tape didn't know where to work and that “We cracked the code yesterday.” I wonder if they found it cached somewhere online?
He also said “I don’t have the video yet. But I now know where I can get it. But, from the sounds of Beckel and Fund, others have beat me to it.”
Yes that’s what I would like to know; where is it? If it was sold by Trinity there have to be more than a few copies out there.
Mary Todd Lincoln is just about to get very famous
McCain ain’t gonna want this released, and no doubt he’ll be the one apologizing to the American people if and when it is.
I’m still skeptical until proven otherwise. Isn’t this guy the former DIA guy who’s antiwar and anti Bush? Why is he promoting this? Something just seems strange all the way around. I keep thinking of the Dan Rather Air National Guard flap in 2004 when the Democrats thought they had Bush nailed to the wall.
And most of all, why does the Obama camp seem completely unconcerned about all this? If they had something to worry about, seems like they’d be scrambling to do preemptive damage control.
Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but something’s skeevey about this whole situation.
Drumming my fingers, impatiently waiting.
In the alleged “transcript” of some of this alleged rant, she is said to refer to allowing people to drown in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.
The tape is said to have been from 2004. The hurricane occurred in 2005.
Larry has been fielding questions like this on his site. His response: “Actually, I may be able to satisfy that request based on what I have learned in the last hour. Send me your phone number and I’ll be sure to call you and alert you so that you can be one of the first to enjoy.” 2008-06-04 03:35:53
Frankly, I don’t know if Larry is credible or not. The details from this post came from the HillBuzz site. He certainly seems sure that the tape exists, and that he can get it, if someone doesn’t beat him to it.
Here’s hoping!
I've been saying for years that Democrats are going to get us all killed, but I wasn't thinking about domestic crime.
If this is real, I certainly hope it gets widespread coverage and finally wakes up some people.
Good catch.
Probably just hunt and peck URL deciphering.
Did a little of that on my own right after they took down all the church’s bulletins - basically used their site’s naming conventions for the bulletins, and had a calendar at my side to know which dates to try.
Unfortunately, I had no clue about the videos, or I would’ve tried this myself! ;)
Of course, I could be totally wrong... That’s just my guess on how they found it online still.
The real Mary had a fairly reasonable explination for her craziness. She lost two children (one while in the White House). The nation was in a REAL civil war, and the possibility of losing her husband to asassination was very real.
The present day Mary CHOOSES to make herself a victim (you know, making a pitance because of her poor education - barely able to survive) then blames America.
Count me a skeptic until the real thing appears.
I was about to say that if this is really so then its amazing that they’d put it up for sale to represent their church but, then, what about Wright’s rants? This fits right in.
I don’t know about the details mentioned above, but I tend to think that it really does exist, simply because of the Obama’s camp’s attempt to debunk it before it even appears.
There was a post yesterday that claimed that Michelle said "what he" instead of "Whitey." Some of the statements were "What he done about Katrina," and "What he done about Jena."
These 2 events occurred after 2004, when the speech is reported to have taken place.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out...
If this really exists, it seems like a better strategy to sit on it until one week before the general election in November.
