If such a tape existed it'd already be out. End of story.

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.
Don’t forget the photos (posted on FR) that show NOI bodyguards at Obambi events.
If such a tape existed it'd already be out. End of story.
Depends on who has it.
Watch the video. It explains more than the write-up.
I agree. There are no secrets in politics any more. It would have been on YouTube by now if it existed. And surely there would have been more than one copy. I wish it were true but I just don’t think so.
ha HA ha...noobs...
Indeed... this bitter woman will make Mama-T look like June Cleaver. I sincerely doubt she can control the inner hate she has for the white middle-class. Wright left his brand on the couple... but the missus' gave the foul bastid' her soul.
If they were selling this DVD tape on their website this means there are alot of others that have this tape in their possession. I don’t believe it exists IMO.
Maybe a copy will show up on EBay
What is the URL for the Trinity United Church?
agree

Produce that tape.
This rumor has been going around for weeks, and weeks by all sorts of people.
Produce that tape.
There is no tape as for as I can I tell.
(once a day, twice a day when Reagan was President)
Mind if I don’t take your word for it...
Sorry, I beg to differ, it wouldn’t be out. I think there is a very good possibility the DVD does exist, and if it does then leaking it’s existence is great psychological warfare against Obama and the MSM. I also wouldn’t put it past Rudy to do exhaustive opposition research like this on all of his opponents, Repubs and dems. Rudy came up in New York politics, one of the roughest, nastiest and toughest places in the US to be a successful politician.
always seems to be a proliferation of noobs in the election season....
Should be easy to verify the existence of the tape. Use the waybackmachine or another internet archive and check the “church’s” website for Feb 2008.
I think it a bunch of hooey so won’t spend the time, but someone who believes this DVD is real can do it...
