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.
Looking more and more like a whisper campaign.
And I expect Michelle Obama’s remarks to be on YouTube very soon. When that happens, all h*** will break loose on Senator Obama’s campaign.
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.
Hussein already told us to lay off his wife. Since Hillary hasn’t exploited the clip we’ll never see it. McCain will never authorize it and will immediately disavow anyone who does. If it ever does air it will probably be on YouTube for about 30 minutes until they take it down. /s/
If this video does exist, FBI files Hilary is probably the source.
If the GOP has it, it won’t come out until Sep-October. If Hillary has it, it will come out before the convention nominates Obama. Hillary’s persistence and smug demeanor suggest she knows for sure that Obama is T-o-a-s-t once the delegates see the goods. It will be Obama offered a “dignified exit” - not Hillary
Right?
The site won’t load for me. Is the video posted at YouTube?
More popcorn...
Will Messiah dispatch some hired guns to destroy the tape?
So much suspension.
Calls her a typical white person.
Barack Divorces Michelle
Calls her a typical black person.
1. Whoever has this, if he cares to use it politically to protect the nation from Obama, should shut the heck up until well after Obama is the Anointed One for the Donks.
2. OTOH, the Obama’s have so borrowed from the Clinton playbook that one wonders whether THEY might be behind the rumors, so that, when it comes out, the reaction will be, “This? This is the big deal? Whatever!”
I think Ms. Obama went to the Raiza Gorbachov school of officials wives! Ha!
Which would be a smart move on McCain's part. He can stay above the fray, if the tape exists, it will come out regardless of what McCain has to say about it.
I don’t think the price of corn has gone up because of ethanol production. It’s this bizarre democrat primary and our entertainment from it.
“I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape.”
A friend of a friend saw it. Don’t like the sound of that.
I’m still trying to figure out the alliance between anti-abortion, anti-”gay” Farrakhan and pro-abort, pro-”gay” liberals.
Why not get this out now and get it over with - once and for all.
You know, in for a penny, in for a pound.
If the tape is that terrible, what difference does it really make if it is released now or later?
I have heard this rumor around DC now for more than a week, but no one seems to know where the tape is, or if it truly does exist.
If it does, and Michelle’s on there using the word “whitey,” Mr. Obama will be in a world of trouble.
But then, I’m sure her use of that term, if used at all, was taken out of context. :)
