Beckel’s Obama Bombshell
Fox News Channel ^ | June 3 | Alisyn Camerota

Posted on 06/03/2008 5:05:24 AM PDT by PghBaldy

Were you watching at 6:25 when Democratic strategist Bob Beckel dropped a bomb on us? He said he’d heard through his political pipeline that a big shoe was about to drop on the Obama campaign. It has something to do with Michelle Obama. Beckel wouldn’t say anything more other than this explosive story may happen tomorrow.

That's the gist of it. I thought he used the word "bombshell," I saw it and was shocked he brought it up. Never mentioned a tape, as he didn't want to give whatever it is more credence.

I didn't hear it but if Alisyn Camerota said it I'd have been paying attention.

Being the good Rat that he is, he was probably just setting up the nonstory on Whiteygate.

This would be verrrrry odd if it happened because Beckel’s a big Obama supporter. He wouldn’t undermine Obams unless he was working for Hillary... and he’s not. We’ll see how the day unfolds.

On the Mike Gallagher show this AM. They are reporting that Michelle Obama was on a panel with Farrakan (sp), spouting off about “whitey”. Missed the website that the data is on, but the story is coming out today.

If they have to do this much ground work prior to the release of the alleged “bombshell”, they probably don’t have all that much.

By the time it’s November, with no tape, the rumor will be Michelle ran over white kindergarteners in a Volvo with a BLK POWR license plate... and a red light camera captured it on video. And Kanye West music was on her iPod.

Well, somethings happening with all these reports of Hillary finally conceeding, eventhough I don't believe it at this point. I think she at least has a last ditch effort up her sleeve and will use it to destroy Obama no matter if he takes the nomination or not!

Never forget, Hillary is a ruthless, coniving, sinister, Mz. and will use everything she has to get nominated.

Disagree. It's exactly the opposite. This must be huge for them to do this much groundwork prior to release in order to defuse it.

Moreover, Beckel said it was "the republicans" (natch) and that it wouldn't come out until Obama was nominated, so they are clearly trying to get this out without releasing it themselves.

Keep the recorders on today. I want to see the video when Beckel bursts a few blood vessels in his face.

Beckel is a double agent. The bombshell is going to be painted as a Republican dirty trick so as not to stain Hillary. Rove would never drop this before the nomination was over, he's wait until October.LOL.

The Friends asked Bob who he supported and he claimed that he promised Fox that he would not say. Ha! He knows about the tape...I saw him with the Friends and I believed him.

Or it could be one of the classic political dirty tricks where a fake example of your most vulnerable area is given to your opponents. When the opponent foolishly trumpets the disinformation, you then show that his information is clearly bogus. This both discredits your opponent and effectively shields your greatest weakness from further attack.

Eh, Roger Stone said the same a few days ago on Fox, and someone else said it a couple of weeks ago. Larry Johnson, friend of Bill’s was supposed to have something big and was going to release it yesterday before 9 am on his website. Nothing yet, so how long are they going to keep this up and to what end?

MSM will bury it.

If it's being put out today - the Clinton people are behind it. And some in the MSM are in the tank for the Clintons. So, if the Clintons are behind it, it'll be NEWS.

If Republicans are behind it, Hannity will talk about it and it'll show up on FR for a day or two... maybe a few mentions on FOX...
