Think he’d divorce her just to become President? Maybe if he thought it would help him.

It’s about time to release this thing. It’s getting old hearing about it and not seeing proof.

We keep hearing about this tape, but where is it? If it really exists, isn’t it time it went public?

There’s starting to be more meat on the bones of this story.
The tape supposedly was for sale on Trinity’s web site.
If true, there has to be more than 1 copy floating around.

If this is tape exists and is true, Michelle may have to lose more weight, as it’s pretty crowded now under that bus.

No link no tape.

The “tape” is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March 2008

Hard to believe that it was sold on DVD and freely downloaded, but now there are no copies.

In the last description she was talking about hurricane Katrina but this is before Katrina. And then there was Farrakhan, now its Farrakan’s wife but where’s Farrakhan’s wife in this description? And then there was “why’d he?” and “whitey”. I hope it’s true, but I’m not buying it, too many inconsistencies, I think people are just making stuff up.

If you watch the videos of her at campaign appearances, she really does seem to feed off the crowd but, for something like this to be true, it would mean Michelle Obama is completely devoid of any intelligence or common sense. She would have to be below the idiot level of even John Conyers' wife. It just doesn't seem anybody could be that dumb.

The Democrats and their operatives--including the so-called "journalists" of the "Mainstream Newsmedia"--will excuse, cover up, explain, rationalize, disinform, pander, and mislead--but nothing will outrage them.

If calls for God to damn America did not outrage or alarm Democrats and their operatives--nothing will.

The Democrat response to all this has revealed an anti-Americanism so profound as to herald a revolution--a revolution that is Marxist, Radical, and essentially Stalinist.

Sounds like, if there is a tape at all, it's not that bad. But with a week of hype, filled with growing expectations and third-order opinions (Let me tell you about what someone else said about something they read somewhere), any tape will be greeted with a huge unthinking flood of pent up emotion and backtracking justifications.

It will be a great flash in the pan, but will serve some transient purpose and be forgotten once that purpose is served, only to be referenced if at all not by its content, but by echoes of its prerevelation expectations.

American domestic propaganda at its best.

The only “details” about the tape I want.

1) When is it going to play?
2) Where can I see it?

Until those two minor ‘details’ are filled in the rest is just so much dancing without the music.

Anyone can make up a story, but this does seem to have a lot of details that have a ring of truth to them. I’m extremely surprised that Sean Hannity denies having the tape, given the fact that he and people associated with him have been doing opposition research on Obama for at least a year. Hopefully it is a Clintonoid denial, “Ah do not have a copy of that tape of,...Mrs. Obama.” Or maybe it’s not a tape, it’s a file? Or a DVD?

I’ll be extremely disappointed if the recording doesn’t surface. People always say there couldn’t be conspiracies or cover ups because so many people would have to keep quiet. But I can imagine Obama’s church could circle the wagons like this. It isn’t like the average person would download it for entertainment. Only a political pundit or a true dyed in the wool whitey hater would download it.

Here what the other fr tread contains:

“June 4, 2008
Details of The Michelle Obama ‘Whitey’ Tape
Filed under: Barack Obama — Robert Wegner @ 9:02 am
Details are emerging on the Michelle Obama “Whitey” tape. It sounds worse than I imagined.

The tape was apparently 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.

Nevertheless Michelle Obama referenced Bill Clinton in her rant.

According to Hill Buzz:

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.

Apparently the tape has been stting in plain sight. A DVD version was sold by Trinity United Church up until recent months when the web site had a complete do over..

Michelle’s rant happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.”

As others have already said.......Even if there's no tape, the scary part is that it's completely believable that the shedevil would have a rant like this!

Why did you excerpt this part?

...Nevertheless Michelle Obama referenced Bill Clinton in her rant.

According to Hill Buzz:

For about 30 minutes...

This is second or third hand info.

I hadn't heard this little detail before.

The "tape" is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March 2008 when Trinity's site was scrubbed and the DVDs were no longer offered for sale.

I gotta admit, I blame Clinton for the thousands of deaths in Africa also. He did nothing after the films of machete's chopping people made TV.

I guess it was up to the UN to do something also, but I still blame Bill.

If this is true and Clinton has seen it, it might explain some of Bill's comments over the past few weeks/months.

I have no doubt that she believes such things - only question is whether she was dumb enough to rant that way in a (semi)public forum that was being taped. Did she know she was on camera? Seems unlikely that she would not know. If the dates are correct this would be during Barack’s campaign for US Senate but before his big address to the DNC and before anyone outside of Chicago really knew about them. It is quite possible that she was just not yet used to the idea of curbing her remarks for the national spotlight. This does sound like the way plenty of leftist academics and activists talk - just read Chomsky or any of his disciples for plenty of examples of the most hateful anti-American bile.

I have no trouble believing she may have been this careless, especially before such a friendly audience and before Barack had really been in any national spotlight. I just hope the tape/DVD really exists and that it will surface, preferably in October!!

NRO, the Corner, says that the tape, if it exists, is of a conference for the Rainbow Push coalition where, Michelle Obama was a guest of the women of the conference, along with Farrakhan’s wife.


The HillBuzz description of the tape still raises a few questions, though. They say, “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”, but the Rainbow/PUSH event in 2004 was held at the Sheraton, not Trinity United; did the church cosponsor it or something?

Just for fun, let’s pretend for the moment that what she COULD say she DID say. Click the tune and sing along!

MICHELLE BOMBSHELL
Tune: "Michelle"

Michelle bombshell
She says words that won't go over well
That Michelle

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

"We're being kept down by the white man"
That's what she had to say
Her words won't go away
Like, "What's up with Whitey? Why'd he go and screw us again?"

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

Barack is beginning to wonder:
"What's with my bitter half?
Oh, not another gaffe!
What's up with Wifey? Why'd she go and screw up again?"

It's like glue . . .

Barack is preparing to throw her
Far underneath the bus
With all who cause a fuss
What's up with Ayers and Wright and Rezko, Pfleger and friends?

Michelle bombshell
Once again the wife, she drops the bomb
She drops the bomb

And what's up with Wifey? Why'd she go and screw up again?
That Michelle . . .
