I do not concur...

All I can say is after reading this from a pro-Hillary site, the author either has a vivid imagination or Obama is about to be put in a world of hurt by his wife:
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. The tape was apparently available from Trinity United until March when they scrubbed the website.
The question of what she said gets a very detailed answer:
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.
Again, my skeptical sense is on full alert here. If the tape was so readily available, why wasn't it seen by someone - anyone previously? Yes there were thousands of tapes for sale on the website. But wasn't there some kind of reference index that might have listed Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Farrakhan appearing together? That would have sent up a red flag for any researcher.
The bottom line is, I think it more likely that the tape exists but am still not 100% convinced of it. Call me a 50-50 guy on this issue.
No reference to the notorious Larry Johnson in this article?
Can this article be part of the rumor of a nonexistant tape?
Nothing here move along please...
I’ve made several posts on this so I won’t keep beating a dead horse. Bottom line, WHERE IS THE TAPE? When somebody can show me this thing actually exists, I’ll start paying attention again. Until then, it’s just another internet rumor.
It is 4:30 pm on the East coast and no tape. Where’s the tape!!! LOL!
I do not concur...
Bob Beckel promised.
This is the worst Fitzmas ever.
There are still another 16 Business Hours until the 24 Business Hour deadline!
Has to be a rumor. If it was out there Shrillary would have sent this to all the press through some surrogate already.
You can take that to the bank! JMHO.
The curious thing is: seems there’s a gap where a tape is supposed to be (copies of recording of major event for sale ... but nobody can find them).
What a great way for X to get the tape out without being seen as the one to do it: get the rumor mill talking about it, whip up a frenzy, and let some PJ blogger find a copy and release it.
“WHERE IS THE TAPE?”
Waiting on a check.
That would depend on who owns the copyright.
If this thing existed, Clinton would have found it and exploited it by now to forestall her demise.
Color me skeptical.
Suurrrre. That’s the ticket.
What's interesting to me, is that rumors such as this tend to die over time, the storyline getting weaker...and weaker.
Not so here. The story has grown and now has democrat mainstays such as Mark Penn and Bob Beckel giving it some headway.
Not to say it isn't a fraud; those who know aren't talking much it seems. But I'm not skeptical anymore; just 50-50.
Sorry, I don’t buy it yet. If this Clintoon backer can give us the tape and has seen it why is he holding it back? It was suppose come out today, it was suppose to come Monday, it’s suppose to come out in October, it’s suppose to come out before the convention... Put up or shut up, Larry.
You can see the tape--but remember--we are saving it til October.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Those wild eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the garbage they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.
You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.
Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black.
Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.
The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lenin for the dupes he got to support him.
Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.
The tape is in Al Capone’s safe and will be opened on Fox News tonight by Geraldo Rivera!
