If anyone wants a perfect example of the depths to which some will descend, and the hatred and vitriol some will display in order to attempt to destroy a candidate they despise, look no further than the current hoax going around the blogosphere about the alleged tape of Michelle Obama screaming about "Whitey" while seated next to Louis Farrakhan.
This was all started by Larry Johnson on his site, No Quarter. I’m purposely not posting a link so as not to give him any more traffic.( but here's the link anyways) If you want to Google it go ahead, but I would suggest not wasting your time.
This is what he posted:
"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!!"
First of all, there is no tape. This rumor has been going around for weeks with no evidence yet. It is either the "October Surprise" that the Republicans plan to spring on Obama, or the reason Hillary Clinton is hanging around, depending on which version of the lie one believes.
Secondly, this screwball is ranting about something he hasn’t even seen. Personally, I think if such a tape existed, with the desperation of the Clinton camp, we would have seen it by now.
More about Mr. Johnson. I don’t throw this term around lightly, but he is a nutjob with a capital N. Lest anyone think Johnson is a right-wing kook, a conservative website that I frequent, Sweetness & Light, has this to say about him:
"We have refrained from commenting on this preposterous rumor because it is such a transparent ploy from a man who is (in my opinion) a notorious America-hating buffoon and pathological liar."
There is a history of Johnson posted there also, where his previous statements and predictions further prove he is worthy of every word in the above sentence.
Fair enough. We shouldn’t go “off a cliff”.
So answer me this: WHEN didn’t she say “whitey”; When DID she say “Why’d he”?
Unless you were THERE to hear Ms. Obama actually say ((or not say) something, or you have HEARD a tape of her saying (or not saying) something, then YOU’VE alreday “gone over a cliff” by putting words into someone else’s mouth at an event which may not even have occurred, and which may or may not have been taped if it DID occur.
Better to say: We have no idea at this time what Ms. Obama said or didn’t say. At least THAT is a factually correct statement.
When YOU keep stating that you KNOW what she said (and what she didn’t say), then YOU come off as some kind of LOON!
I just read a joke about ann archy:
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the
patients were shouting, ‘13....13....13’
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks
and looked through to see what was going on.
Someone poked me in the eye with a stick.
Go to Fox News and see if the story has been pulled. good freaking grief.
She was ASKING QUESTIONS......”WHY’D HE do this....WHY’D HE do that....
I don’t care if such a tape exists. The fact that Obama and his wife have been in the past and most certainly currently tied to such racist pastors gives almost any rumor about potential racism a level of credibility that it would not have otherwise. It isn’t about hating the other side because any conservative who has spent even a fraction of the time doing their homework knows that the other side is hateful in their goals and desires. Let us not forget that they have assaulted our children with liberal sexual and climate propaganda, they are singularly responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn children, they are responsible for making it impossible for the US to supply its energy needs,
they have attacked our country from within and derided our patriots abroad as they fight and die for us, they have as a goal unlimited government controlling everything of importance related to ones finances while approving the most vile and disgusting behaviors in the streets as rights.
The list of the atrocities commitment by the left are long and that they are racist, classiest, supporters of the thief class otherwise known as politicians is but one of many. I offer them no quarter. They may be amicable individuals to have a laugh and a drink with but they have no business in power anywhere in this nation because whether they intend it or not they are destroying by reshaping this country into a horrific parody of freedom.
Then the patients started shouting ‘14...14...14’?
WHEN and WHERE?

That is not proof of your screaming claim that she said "Why'd he" instead of "whitey".
The rest of us are saying the tape may be a rumor, you try to clarify WHAT she is saying with no proof (as if you have heard her on the tape). "Good freaking grief backatcha.
Smells exactly like the kind of stuff that happened to president Bush a hundred times and turned out to be bs.
Look, I saw the tape. It’s just a grainy video of an alien looking through a window calling Michelle home. “Michelle the mother ship is ready.” Art Bell has the authenticated tape.
Release the tape, let us all hear it, watch it, and decide that she DID say it, label her a racist, brand the junior Senator from Illinois as one too, and all vote for John McCain.
/sarc
LOL! the last sentence got cut off...dern funny too if the punch line gets included :|
Sadly, my work blocks Youtube. I’ll check it out later (If it’s Star Wars kid, I’ll be thrilled).
ROTFLMAO!
Idiots ALWAYS say this on this website. “I’ve been on FR longer than you, therefore I am more intelligent than you.” Simply amazing. Hey, everybody, I’ve been in my house longer than any of you, therefore I am more beautiful, more intelligent, and groovier than you are.
I’m trying to save you idiots from going off a cliff!! Pushed by the Clintons. IF there WAS a TAPE, the Clintons woyuld have put it out! THINK PEOPLE.
They better release it now. McCain’s people will never do it.
Pumbie baby....go back to the rude DU.
I know. >< It’s a black and white, with us or against us world. To question is to be condemned.
