Michelle Obama's Problem With "Whitey"
Bob Parks: Black & Right ^ | 6/4/08 | Bob Parks

Posted on 06/04/2008 4:20:27 AM PDT by bocopar

Rudy Giuliani may be out of the presidential picture for now, but he may swing the election towards McCain. According to Katy Grimes at Townhall, he has the sledgehammer that just may deliver Barack Obama a knockout punch, again, all because his wife has a big mouth.

The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States.

“So the tape rumor now takes on significant details. Rudy is now the Holder of the Tape”

Could this become Rudy’s “ticket” to the vice presidency?

If it's a hoax, how could you be quoting her from it?

Heh. Good point.

If there is a tape (which I still doubt, Bob Beckel notwithstanding), and if Rudy has a copy (which he may or may not), and if Rudy’s copy is the ONLY copy (which seems highly unlikely), then that might be enough of a “ticket” to get him the VP seat.

But that’s a lot of very big IF’s.

“WE DON’T NEED MICHELLE’S TAPE!!!!!!!”

Wrong, my friend.

We need everything we can get:
The good...
The bad... and
The ugly.

Whatever it takes to defeat him.
Whatever it takes.

Execelent observation.

aruanan would need to have heard the tape in it's original form to make such an observation.

However, why would anyone need this tape to know that Obama is not qualified to be POTUS.

If the tapes are true, I agree Obama is not electable AND it could be one reason Hillary did not concede last night.

I suspect the tape will be released, if it does exist, right before the DNC convention.

If Rudy has the only DVD perhaps two New York politicians are working on a scheduled release!

I suppose that's as good as an explanation as any. I guess ego trumps support for one's candidate. But with friends like that(Beckel)....

Funny. He exonerates HRC from the rumors and blames it on Republicans. Then he goes on to explain why it would be insane for Republicans to be pushing this now, as opposed to, say, October. He does note that the orchestration of the release of the tape is being done by "someone" very good. It's HRC and it's why she's still in the race.

I know...it was a very bizarre interview. What Beckel was saying didn’t fit who Beckel is.

Just a heads-up: I’m shooting my new TV show Thursday.
IF anyone out there knows someone who may have the “recording”, I would love to run it.

. . . all because his wife has a big mouth.

That's an interesting perspective. The problem is not just that she has a big mouth, which I concede. It is that she thinks very radical, racist opninions and has not, like most dems, learned to keep them to herself when cameras are rolling. It's the radical, racist opinions that are the problem. The big mouth is only a secondary, marketing type problem.

If she weren't a racist with Marxist leanings, her mouth wouldn't be a problem.

The last paragraph is of interest in particular:

Latest Updates on Larry Johnson’s Holy Grail, a.k.a., The Michelle Obama Tape

The pro-Hillary blog HillBuzz gives the most detailed description of the alleged Michelle Obama tape yet.

(By the way, people are still e-mailing me about the “why’d he”/”whitey” distinction, and what the references to Jena and Katrina say about the timeline. Folks, the transcript on the liberal blog is made up, it’s a hypothetical prediction of what would be on the tape. It’s no longer worth a moment’s debate.)

The HillBuzz description of the tape still raises a few questions, though. They say, “The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church”, but the Rainbow/PUSH event in 2004 was held at the Sheraton, not Trinity United; did the church cosponsor it or something?

A TownHall blogger claims Rudy Giuliani’s team acquired the tape.

Finally, a media source answers my question of how Michelle Obama making these kinds of comments could escape the attention of local media: “How did the message of Trinity United Church of Christ escape the attention of the Chicago media? Or William Ayres? When you’re in the the tank, you’re in the tank.”

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there is more than one video of Michelle spouting off.

Don't ask; don't tell.

Yes- that’s the one. Attended by many prominent libs. But the speech (alleged speech disclaimer inserted here) given by Michelle would have not been a headliner necessarily- it was only a small part of the entire convention..

It surely didn’t make any reporting that I can find. Go figure.
