“It is rumored that the GOP has such a recording of Michelle Obama railing against White America at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.”
First of all, I completely disagree with the premise of this article, Obama’s association with Trinity et al will hurt him badly in the general in key battleground States (VA, MI, OH, PA, CO, NM, NH, WS, IO and MO). But, this is third or fourth time I’ve read a quote like above (Rush said the GOP has the tape), I really hope it’s true.
Rush did not say that they HAD the tape. He said there are rumors of a tape and that someone may release it later in the election cycle.
It is also possible that she has been observed making such remarks there (there were people who went to do background research on Obama in his political climb and knew quite well firsthand what his church was saying) BUT no recording was made.
If you “think” someone got you on tape, it can be just as big a motivator in covering your tracks as if they actually did.
Where I see this really hurting the Obamao is not among the General Electorate per se, but when the TUCC is combined with the Obamao’s support for Gay Marriage and the repeal of “Don’t ask, Don’t Tell” and his support of Infanticide, Evangelical voters will be mobilized even for an inferior candidate for their issues in Mad Jon McCain.
Wright and the Menagerie will underline a huge bright line between everyday Christians and the Obamao, that will lead to a large negative turnout against the Obamao.
I fear that this tape will be like all of the smoking gun evidence that people had on the Clintons all these year. More smoke than gun.
