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 staffJennifer 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 beenuntil scrubbed from the website in recent weekslisted as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Baracks 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.

He must have had those 57 States on his mind when he said he had campaigned in 57 States.

Ive heard her thesis was a joke...virtually unreadable. Yes, you HEARD. I actually read it and thought that, as an undergraduate thesis, even from Princeton, it was perfectly acceptable from an academic point of view.

Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.A visual that will probably come true once she costs him the election. Heh heh heh....

The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape.If Jule Annie has the tape, he can hand it over to either Hillary or the RINO relic in exchange for the vice-presidential nomination. Both are hungry and will work with Julie Annie to get the Smoking Gun.

I have a problem with racist blacks. Therefore I have a problem with Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Rangel etc. If that makes me a racist, so be it.
Ditto. Any "rants" I've posted have been against racist blacks, who just happen to be in the news lately. I'd post the same against racist whites running for the Presidency (not that we'll ever see that happen) too. Thank God they can be called out for their racism somewhere, because the hypocritical MSM and the liberals hugging their "white guilt" close to them, so that they can believe themselves to be good and superior, aren't ever going to do it. Racists of any stripe can be called out here. Only white racists can be called out elsewhere. People in general have gotten so conditioned to black racists getting a pass, that they don't recognise them when they see them.
Treating people equally-including racists-is the farthest thing from racism. Doing otherwise is patronising and hypocritical.

Frankly I don't think it is ranting against Blacks as a generality, I do however think it is against Michelle MaBelle and Barrack-o-baby. They are a despicable pair of racists. I have many African American friends and they don't much care for either of those two! My friends are educated and know that this mess he has created with his ‘don't like Whitey” wife and his ties to the militant arm of the black community and Islam!

thats convenient that you only know blacks that agree with you. Well, why would I have black friends who don't agree with me?
If they didn't agree with me and me with them, then they would consider me a racist and I would consider them racists!
I am sure I have met black and white people who don't want to be a friend to me because I am white and or Jewish or both, so why would I want them as friends, anyway?

with this explanation:
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.
