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.
Obomba hits today.
If Hillary or one of her supporters get this tape, they will certainly not wait until the Convention. She will have it released soon, Obama's out, Hillary is in, Democratic problem solved.
Please, wait until after he has disposed of Hillary once and for all.
His site has been under constant attack from Obamabots.
Obama was a nobody when those FBI files were obtained.
Obama and Obamama are TOAST!.........................
And the Clinton Crime Family is working like hell to blame Rove, or Bush, or who knows who for releasing it.
The funny thing is, Hillary will have to get her fingerprints on it now, if she still wants the nomination.
See #22- Nothing is set in stone as far as the delegates prior to the convention. If such a bombshell tape comes out now, Hillary would be able to get the nomination, and since she appears to be a stronger general election candidate than Obama, no damage is done to the Democrats. If it is released as late as possible prior to November the Democrats are stuck with a disastrous candidate and McCain wins easily.
It will be released at the point of maximum political damage.................
Democrats problem's get worse.
Well, for starters, they both hate whitey & America.
Yup! No first person reports from anyone who has actually seen the video. It is always, “someone I know has a friend who knows someone who has seen the video”.
I agree with you on if the GOP has it. But I would think if Hillary already had it she would have showed it to superdelgates or released somehow already.
They both hate whites; they both hate Israel; they both hate capitalism and free enerprise. They both hate America
and I suspect they hate debate and elections.
Let's just say the tape is real. Which candidate's team got it. Mitt had the money but Huckabee seemed more ruthless. If it is Huckabee's team that got this tape I can see it getting out. If it is Mitt I am not sure since he is on McCain's short list and if he is the VP nominee McCain might not want the tape out.
Any thoughts who the r”epublican candidates who is no longer in the race” is? My guess Rudy, Hannity has the tape..
Rudy.
From the article: 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.
Who might this be? Any guesses? We had: Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, Giuliani, Tancredo, Hunter.
