It's not a con job

What’s on the Michelle Obama Rant Tape? Here’s what’s known so far:

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: specifically the Women’s Event.

Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks.

Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended.

Michelle Obama spoke at the Women’s Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant — his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.

For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on “whitey”, and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that’s when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who’s seen this.

The “tape” is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March 2008 when Trinity’s site was scrubbed and the DVDs were no longer offered for sale.

This outburst happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.

If that's true, then the MSM has been sitting on this for quite a while.

IF so WHERE THE HELL is it?!! Why the fear to release it? Let's get it rolling unless the WIMPY RNC is scared to death the finger will point to them. Walnutless leadership!

The source you cite, noquarter, uses “hillarybuzz” blog as their source.

When you go there, look at the most recent article posted.

They say, “We have no idea if we are right, because we’ve never seen the tape. But, we don’t understand why a journalist couldn’t get the tape of Michelle’s panel discussion to check if she does, in fact, rant and rave on this panel the way it’s been described.”

So if there is a source that proves the tape exists it doesn’t seem to be the one you cited?

the link no longer works....assuming the story is not BS and that is an accuarate description of what happens we get the best of both worlds- it pisses off the clinton supporters and further diminishes barry from the white vote he needs...
