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.
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.
This outburst happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.
Original Post: The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States.
There is no coincidence that Barrack Obama "quit" his controversial church yesterday, just as news of this tape hit.
But his ties with the Nation of Islam do not get cut just because he "quits" the church. "Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff—Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger (now placed on leave by the Cardinal of New York for his recent rant) had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been—until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks—listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack’s faith and beliefs." (hat tip NoQuarter)
The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama.
Things will only get more interesting. Either way, Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.
Uh, wasn’t Dukakis leading Reagan by as many points as Obama is leading McCain?
And we know what happened to Dukakis and we know why.
IMO Obama has a strong suspicion that the tape exists and that it will be delivered to the American people, so he’s trying to neutralize and trivilialize it by saying stupid stuff like the Republicans are going to try to make folks scared of him. That way, when the tape gets out he can just sit there and say, “I told you they were going to try to make you scared of me.”
The arrogance of all this is that the dislike of him has nothing to do with race but more to do with his arrogance and greed. That’s not racism. He’s just an average ordinary politician who’s playing the game of politics for money and power.
COB?
I’ll believe the tape exists when I hear it.
Certificate Of Birth
yes, but they’re hanging their hats on a BC that is not an original and not notarized.
Right!! Look at the very first one where they say Rush Limbaugh lied by advancing the news of the "tape" rumor. Rush basically reported that someone said there was a rumor and these bozo put that up as him lying totally taking his quote out of context!
These people who run this site are no different than any of the dem liars! The can't win with pure facts so they have to do anything to SMEAR their opponents. The site should be renamed:
smearthefights.com
The Michelle tape rumor started from the Hillary camp...this is fact. You can trace it backwards through this guy Larry Johnson...
Rush had no moreto do with it than BobBerkel...
That's going to be a ridiculous contention, as the tapes were apparently being distributed by his former church, according to the story thus far.
Obamma has been doing cleanup on his image, since the speech at the Dem convention. It was sometime after that, that the decision to run was made. One could say it has been the longest presidential campaign since Clinton's, who began his some time in his college days.
However, all that being said, I don't think the tape exists. I don't think Rudy or anyone else with a "R" designation has it, even if it does.
There is no doubt in my mind that Michelle "O" has said this sort of thing, and I believe that she believes it and the he is also on board with the black conspiracy baloney, but he is thus far inoculated against the truth, no matter how bizarre it may be. He is the media's messiah.
The American public has become lame and totally irresponsibly populist by choice and manipulation. They buy into everything and will continue to, until this country no longer exists.
Same thing happened to the Romans, and history always repeats because ONLY the most recent immigrants, within the last 50-80 years, have a understanding of pertinent history, and ONLY because they wanted to learn it and deem it to be of the highest importance .
The old guard provincial American has become the American left wing now, and are systematically destroying what they believe is their America and no one else's. They follow in the footsteps of their European forefathers who nearly lost it all to the Nazis.
This sort of American can be found in both parties wrapped in the flag of ignorance.
It will be some time, if ever, that this trend is reversed, and perhaps far too late.
I predict that at some point in the relatively near future, it will become necessary to ask "New Europe" for help as we devolve into economic chaos.
I am somewhat relieved that I will not be alive to see it, but one thing is certain........America will get exactly what it deserves to get from it's elected leadership in the future, and that is a fact that cannot be refuted.
BTW, I see Pat Buchanan is at it again, trying mightily to destroy Churchill's credibility and the moral justifications for American participation and the defeat of the Nazis during WWII. He epitomizes the point I am trying to make and the fact that the enemy of this Republic is entrenched very deeply and in both parties. He sees that war as the fault of Churchill and somehow a mistake by America. Yet he does it skillfully in a roundabout way that keeps him safe from the labeling as being a Jew hating scumbag.
And so it goes...........
Sometimes the rumor is more damaging than the subject of it....
You can believe what you want, I don’t agree with you. I think there is a dvd, and I think the reason that other copies are not on ebay is because the Obama campaign did a good job of cleansing the numer of copies in public. But, I know Giuliani, he’s beyond ruthless, if anyone would have a copy of this DVD it would be him.
It was the Rainbow/Push Citizens Education Fund Annual Conference at the Sheraton in Chicago from June 28th - July 1st.
Was the event videotaped? It makes sense that such a tape would be used as a fundraising tool. It seems that the makeup of speakers...wife of US senator, wife of Farrakhan, wife of Rev.Meeks, Local Judge, all local Chicago bigshots. Therefore I believe the event was videotaped.
If it was videotaped does it seem to be in keeping with what we know about Ms.Obama's personality that she might make racial remarks? Ans.-YES.
If the event was taped, who would be looking at such a tape regarding Mr.Obama's presidential aspirations 1 month prior to the Democrat Convention. Ans.-Only militants who are now proObama might have searched out such a tape in 2004. The only republicans who might have been interested would be those contemplating a run against Senator Obama some 3 years down the road, and local politicians, at that. Therefore it is conceivable that in anticipation of an Obama presidential run, Trinity removed all tapes at Baraks request. I doubt that many were sold in the first place.
Would Hillary have had a copy, given the stiff opposition Obama was giving her.
Ans. - YES. The repeated fervency her closest political confidants showed in repeating the mantra-"He cannot be elected." However she could not devise a way to reveal this tape without being labeled a turncoat to the democratic party. As much as she wanted to put it out, she felt, because of the MSM's love affair with Obama, and resentment of her and her husband, she could not find a safe way to make the tape available and maintain her perceived loyalty to the party, which she needs to win in November.
Another reason I believe the tape exists is Mr.Obamas' demands, as a preemptive attack, demanded that his wife be left alone. The problem was, that when he made his demand, the furor about Michelle has largely died down. He then said she was the 'best' person he had ever met. His protestations seemed inappropriate at the time. He had secured the nomination. Then he threatened the voting public to leave his wife alone. If she is all he said she is, why the threat? He protested too much and revealed his concern.
Does the tape exist? Ans.-The mainstream media has almost excluded this subject from its pages and air. There was a report that Sean Hannity had a copy, and he said he refused to answer the question. He has, however, persisted in stating that Obamas' separating from Rev.JWright after he made statements which were repeated from the now famous....GD America....was a separation from wright for repeating those statements at the Washington Press Club...he simply repeated what Barak said he,Barak, would not dissociated with Wright because of those statements. Hannity has been unwavering, and he has been on Wright for a full year before the MSM even looked at Obams's association with Trinity. Therefore I believe Hannity has the video. The comments from democratic operative, Bob Beckel, indicate he knows of such a tape. He now backtracks, hoping that Hillary was the one with the tape, and she has kept her powder dry...and Beckel is doing everything he can to shore up the partys' chosen one. I therefore believe the tape exists.
Looking at the photo of these women which is a who's who among far leftist racist, black woment, it is in keeping with what such a seminar might produce.
I therefore believe this tape will show up 1 week prior to the DNC convention, if it is held by Hillary's people. It will show up in early October if held by the Republicans.
I totally agree. And yes, when we see it, will depend on who has it...
Some folks are greedy and some are afraid and some are both.
Just look at what happened to Larry Sinclair after he held a Press Conference... U.S. Marshalls took his butt away and he hasn’t been heard from since.
PING
Reporter: Mr. Obama, there’s been some talk that the BC produced by Daily Kos is a fake and that you’re covering up something regarding your birth history and perhaps your pedigree. Any comments?
Obama: No not really. Everything is out there and transparent. I’ve got nothing to hide.
Reporter: Don’t you agree that this could be an issue perhaps a smoking gun if you don’t address it now?
Obama: Address what, Young Lady? My birth history has been well documented in a number of publications including my own autobio.
REporter: Wikipedia says you were born in Kapiolani Medial Center but other sites linked to your site and the Senate lists Queens Hospital. What hospital were you born at?
Obama: I think I see where you’re going with this. No one has ever brought this up in the numerous campaigns that I’ve had. If you think you’re going to Swiftboat me on this you’re wrong.
(Obama exits “swiftly”)
Whys is it that no one can prove the Obama’s BC is a fake? I wish someone could prove that it is as this would change this election. Plus why does’nt
the GOP get on the stick and look into this. It should be done sooner then
later but the more we write about it and send letters into the media the more
it will help find the real answer!
I searched the following on Ancestry.com :
BArack or Barry Obama or Dunham Honlulu Hawaii 1961 and came up with nothing.
I also searched Ann Dunham for marital records and came up with nothing.
In other words, there was no public record of any birth or any marriage.
