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.
Barack may have quit his church but his religious problems are not over. Barack Obama has a Nation of Islam problem that will receive more attention in the coming days. Before Barack came on the scene, THE MAN in his political district was Louis Farrakhan. No one could take Alice Palmer’s seat without Farrakhan’s blessing. No one. I do not fault Barack Obama for seeking out the blessing of Farrakhan, but the story of what was done behind the scenes to get rid of Barack’s predecessor—Alice Palmer—has not been told. A knowledgeable source tells me that Tony Rezko played a direct role in this feat. And Rezko has been tight with Farrakhan.
It also should come as no surprise that Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff—Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. (And no, I am not merely recycling info initially reported by Debbie Schlussel. I have two independent Chicago sources for this info.) If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been—until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks—listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack’s faith and beliefs.
In probing those matters we begin to understand that the Nation of Islam has been a critical component of Barack Obama’s base of support. And, I am told, Louis Farrakhan has been careful to use Tony Rezko as the intermediary in his relationship with Barack. This is not guilt by association, this is guilt because of actual relationship. Farrakhan, Wright, and Pfleger are each on tape in various settings spewing the most vile racists garbage in the guise of preaching. Barack Obama, up to this point, has tried to pretend he had no idea that these men had these thoughts or said these things.
NONSENSE!! He knew and he knows. And the gig will be up when the Michelle tape hits the airwaves. One source described how this tape was acquired. Let’s just say that one of the republican candidates who is no longer in the race, but had a dandy oppo research capability, uncovered this gem. If Republican poohbahs have their way the tape will remain on ice until October. But when it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam. That’s not a winning platform in November. And Barack’s bundlers understand this threat. I also have learned some major financial backers are asking the Barack team about the tape and are being stonewalled. It is a wild card in the political campaign that has not yet played out.
We should thank CinC USOC ;-)
There is a word for those two, street slang. ...I'll just call it the W-word that rhythms with the N-Word.
I believe Barry is having his victory party this week in Minneapolis...home of the GOP Convention.
is this the WEASEL, Larry Johnson?
If the RNC releases it before the convention, the delegates and super (!) delegates will have no choice but to nominate Hillary. Perhaps I’m crediting them with too much sense.
If they nominate Hillary, there will be some massive retaliation among the chattel. It might take many forms, but one certainly is going to be where blacks sit this out. That gives McCain an easy win, and he’s going to need it given that many of us will be facing a crisis of conscience to vote McCain. We don’t want either Marxist in the White House, we would like the least of all 3 evils to win, but we’re disinclined to rubber stamp whichever candidate with whom we’re lumped. Let him have his victory - without us. The Democrats gave us our candidate, let them put him in the White House.
That’s why I don’t believe that it would be stupid for the Republicans to release the tape prior to the convention.
I would be hard-put to believe that this tape exists. It was done in church. Most churches have tape ministries and you can get a tape of every event when it is over. If there were indeed a tape there would be hundreds for sale on Ebay.
Does Hannity have the tape?
You don’t think Mitt had the smarts? ;-)
If they throw Obama under the bus, only few dozen votes from the nomination, they can kiss off the black and moonbat vote in November.
Yes and the October Surprise angle is another way to screw readers around for months. The only thing that makes me think it might be real is that Roger Stone mentioned it on Fox News.
Of course...cash and smarts and hunky good looks. ;)
Obama’s loyalists are already spinning the supposed contents of the tape. That tells me they’ve got a copy and are worried.
The tendency for rumors to get exaggerated and expanded may make the real event an anti-climax.
Whoever has it, shut up until the time is ripe! He hasen't even got the nomination yet!!
Bingo!
And wit and a calm demeanor and a testosterone-rich voice and 74 inches of height on a paunch-free body and business acumen and discipline and fidelity and ...........
They don't need a copy. They starred in the play, and know the lines they spoke!
