Just play the tape already, if it even exists.

My question to an API editor: “How many vanities do you want for the Michelle Obama tapes? You know, Fox News and Philip Berg have already offered me a combined total of $3.4M for the vanities.”

I would ask, “How much has Obama paid you guys to look like fools?”

Lord... sorry. I assumed this one had some common sense.

Maybe we need a new forum. Move decent vanities to chat and dumb vanities to “Dumb vanities”.

API Response: The market is is flooded with vanities. They are worthless.

I ask them to forget the tape, just release a transcript.
(Assuming there was a phone converation)

Followup:
Were they trying to distract Republicans? If that is the case, who put them up to it?

My question would be: Why do blacks fail to prosper in each and every country they live in while all other minorities thrive and surpass the blacks?

There's too much at stake for API to be pulling this cr@p. I am both angry and bored with the games they're playing. As far as I'm concerned, API’s credibility is down the toilet.

Assuming this story is true, which I believe it could be (and I know I am one of the few here at FR that even gives it a chance)....

1.) A lot of us would wonder why in the world Michelle Obama would call a small wordpress blogger organization to begin with. Please explain how something so unbelievable as this could even happen.

2.) What thoughts were you thinking inside your head as Michelle Obama was ranting and raving on the phone about API’s coverage of her husband?

3.) What thoughts were then going through your mind as she was sharing national information with you?

4.) Who was the first person you went to when you realized what you were involved with, and why did you choose that particular person to help you?

5.) Were you ever scared?

6.) How did the FBI and CIA get involved?

7.) What did it feel like when you were speaking with the CIA? The FBI? The American news media?

8.) Did you ever feel like this was something you were not prepared to handle, or did you ever wonder why this all came to you in particular? How did you feel about being the center of this situation?

9.) Why DO you think this situation came to you in particular — why YOU (or African Press International)?

10.) What have your days been like since this story blew up as it did?

11.) What do you think your next few days will be like?

12.) How does it feel to have so many people disbelieve what you are trying to tell them when you know what you are telling them is true?

13.) What has helped you throughout this time the most?

14.) What could you tell America to help them get through this time?

15.) If you could wind the clock back to the very moment after you received the phone call from Michelle Obama, would you do anything any differently than you did the first time around?

16.) Has your wife told you, at any time during all of this, that you need to get some sleep? (grin)

Danae, I’ve got my flame retardant suit here with me too! LOL

API is just another african BS media-wannabe of washed up ex-journalists qucaks living as refugeess in scandidanvia.

they clearly got nothing to show or tell us EXCEPT a wacky tale of this and that.

the more i think about it, the more i see how they had us on a merry go round.

we wasted time as bloggers on some API horseshyt fake tapes while the dems marched on.

No Jean S I won't. I donate to this site as well. And I have as much right to post articles I consider news worthy and Opinions as you do. No one forces you to read a thing I post.

What you call spaming, I call information that is relevant to our cause. Difference of opinion perhaps, but last time I checked, that is allowed on this site.

I am not going to accept any of your terms. When tapes become public, they will be made public in a far more reputable manner than just a Youtube video. Not only because its TRUE, but because the information contained in that tape is absolutely 100% above the fold, headline making news.

I have reason for this particular vanity, and unless you are going to invoke some little known clause of the first amendment, or try to get me banned, I suggest you chill out a little bit, and simply ignore me. Otherwise stop acting as if you have some sort of authority on this board like to that of Jim Robinson or Kristinn. Because you don't.

How about that for a deal?

AFP: Why did Danae post choose to post this vannity on her 4-year FR anniversary?

LOL Because I have good reason to believe API is telling the truth and I am staking my reputation here on that. It is not something I do lightly. I have deep respect for this site, the posters here, and all of us who value freedom. Am I nervous about it, yes, I feel that I am risking something I value, my Reputation on FreeRepublic. I think the issue is great enough to warrant it. My reputation is a small thing to lose compared to what may well be gained by supporting API and helping to give traction to the Story. So I am willing to take the risk. It is pretty small compared to the risks others are taking even as I type!

I don’t believe the story is true. (Remember the Trannie Threads!)

You would not be the first (or last) to pursue a dead-end story on FR. Some pan out, some don’t. You’ll be fine.

Good luck.
