I commend you and encourage you — however — I think that the LA Times has now put themselves in a situation (by claiming the bogus “protecting a source” argument) where they will not release the tape unless a court orders it.

Your effort is worthwhile and I encourage it — but the goal (realistically) should be to continue the public humiliation of the paper rather than expect that your efforts will get the tape before the election...

In order to credibly attack them — we need to seem ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE — angry and frustrated is ok — but tempered with reasonable arguments —

Ultimate success would be for a dispassionate observer to feel: " Hey, all these guys are asking for is more information and the LAT is stonewalling them -- what are they hiding?" For example — if you get any media coverage you might consider saying:

* If the LAT can't / won't release the tape:

How about releasing just the AUDIO?

How about just releasing a TRANSCRIPT of the audio?

Why not let a select group of 25 impartial journalists see the video and report on it themselves so that they can at least CORROBORATE your newspaper article?

Why should the electorate have to just “take the LAT’s word for it?”

Also — how many people within the LAT have already seen the video? Who are they and can we talk to all of them? If not — why not?

Box them into a corner where they seem to be refusing increasingly reasonable demands — and that will make it clear to EVERYONE what is really going on.

Good luck!

The point isn't to get the tape, it's to sow doubt in peoples minds about what's on it. It has been reported that there are no land mines specifically for Neobama on it, in fact it appears that he plays the politician role.

But as long as the LAT doesn't release it, and, with the apparent Jew bashing others reportedly engage in, people will undoubtedly assume the worst.

KNot knowing exactly what's on it, releasing could kill the golden goose. So I say "keep on holding it LAT", you're doing Neobama damage everyday that you do!

I commend you and encourage you — however —

Thanks, NYC_Bullmoose!

I am FReeping from my laptop, while I wait for my local Staples office supply store to open up -- to pick up more SIGN materials.

There is a PRECEDENT for the L.A. Times to release a powerful, politically damaging recording.
