"If Obama can throw his pastor under the bus, what will he do to LGBTQ* voters on his way to the White House?"
-- Rev. Irene Monroe in a Windy City Times column about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's race speech and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The Driver on the Obama Bus says, "GET DOWN, MICHELLE!"
There's NO CHANCE that it will get any more crowded under the Barack Obama "Ch-Ch-Change" Bus.
Is there?
Larry Johnson, of the No Quarter blog, opened a cold, coy can of conversational whoop-ass this morning. Johnson, who served as a Deputy Director in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, learned over the weekend that the rumored "Michelle Obama Whitey" tape is no rumor.
According to Johnson:
I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.So, the tape really exists and it's in the hands of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (feel free to substitute "Evil Republican Noise Machine", if you like).

I’m skeptical. Too much talk about a tape but no tape.
I wouldn’t get too excited.
This is looking like a Dan Rather Moment.
The poster was simply making a reference to Obama’s “Typical white person” quote. In other words - making a point through humor. So many people on FR are too worried about what others will think.

Thank you....:)
[it reminded me of Michelle’s big vicious mouth]...LOL!
But that half would ~still~ vote Dem, post-mortem....just like they always do....:))
I am wondering if this mysterious tape of Michelle even exists. BO is gaining ground. A tape like this would finish BO, so where is it? McCain could beat Hillary, so what is stopping them?
I hear a lot of talk, is it only talk?
I agree that they wouldn’t because it’s painfully obvious that “typical black person” is just a sarcastic slap at bambi’s ‘typical white person’ crack.
The *last* thing they’d ever want to do is keep that remark in the forefront of the collective consciousness.
You don’t loose your arrows until the enemy is within range.
*If* it exists, we won’t see it until right before the general election, which is -good-.
Besides, even [as yet] unproven rumors can gain a *lot* of traction and subliminal power in the subconscious....sometimes even more so than what is plainly seen.
Doubt and uncertainty are powerful things.
They can lay in the recesses of the mind like nasty infections....growing and festering without the benefit of concrete proof or disproof to destroy them.
“Mystery hath more power than revelation”.
Read about the Salem witch trials if you to see how much damage “whispered suspicions” can do...on a much smaller scale.
Now imagine the same kind of suspicions flying around at light speed in this “age of instant information”.
Scary.
OK, I’m an idiot. I totally missed the reference and bad mouthed you to another poster. I’m usually better than that ab such things.
I offer my humble apology.
Yup. I was totally wrong. Thanks for pointing that out.
Well, while I was totally wrong, my intent was in the right place. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
You certainly have my imagination going. I wonder how Michelle is feeling tonight?
It would be a bombshell. If you wait too long, and let the rumor fly too long, it could lose much of the desired effect by being old news. You know, everyone has heard it already, thus lessening the desired effect.
thank you thank you for the ping~!
You reflexively recoiled at what you perceived as racism. Just means you were brought up right.
Very gracious. Thank you.

You, otoh....
