Michelle Obama Tape Probably Exists – Why Is The News Media Withholding it?
Update: Â Gateway Pundit has an audio tape of Obama blaming “white folks greed” for war and famine as cruise ships throw away more food in a day than starving children see in a year (complain to the government agencies which don’t allow left over food to be distributed, don’t go blaming Whitey):
Â
Well, that’s worse than any Michelle tape – I would assume. – end update
Ugh – I hate to do this, but I have to agree with Larry Johnson on one point. Barrack Obama’s non-denial denial yesterday, regarding the existence of a damaging Michelle Obama video, is actually a sign there is a video of Michelle making some harsh comments against whites, and the Obama campaign know it exists, Â Here is Obama’s reply to a question about the video:
Â
We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in emails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it,†Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. “That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.â€
Asked whether he knew it not to be true, Obama said he had answered the question.
“Anybody”? Â Sort of leaves it wide open. Â Yep, that pretty much answers it, Obama’s response is clearly a dodge. Â I have to agree with Johnson here (as much as it pains me), that was a telling answer by Obama. If I had to guess I would say the video exists and has some potential to damage him (though I still say it is minor since the video is not out now and requires so much hype).
Johnson goes on to once again assert his sources have seen the video ( or the sources of his sources – whatever) and that the Chicago news media has it:
Then you have the frantic scrubbing of Trinity websites. How about efforts to check the video files of Chicago TV stations? Stymied. The local ABC station says they will only give up a video if there is a subpoena.
No idea where is getting the ABC information, could be more BS. Â I don’t admire Johnson for his dirty whisper campaign. Â But it can be diffused, and quickly, if the media just releases the video, well before the convention. Â If the GOP has it there is no point in letting it sit until they can use it for maximum benefit. Â And if Clinton has it there is no use waiting until she can use it right before the convention to see if she has one last chance to topple Obama. Â The media is not doing its job by hiding this (whether they are doing it for Obama, Clinton or the GOP) – which is why this entire story bothers me. Â Americans should be free to select their leaders with all the information available. Â The news media should not be trying to help any candidate or hide any information that would influence those decisions.
I should note the Johsnon’s source for the Obama quote pretty much slams his already busted reputation. Â I can’t believe the news media would let this farce go on for weeks and months. Â Reader DaleInAtlanta refers us to a great post outlining Johnson’s issues with truth and veracity. Â It is a good recap of what happened, though I need to note all good lies have a grain of truth in them – covered up with pure BS. Â The post pretty much tracks with my posts on the matter.
I should note others took Obama’s response as a strong denial.
Addendum: I like the way the Reason Magazine story notes the discrepancies in Johnson’s posts and his own non-denial denial. Time to put this story to bed until something real happens.
Maybe this is what the Democrats are talking about at their not so secret secret meeting.
I do not know what Obama knows, but it could be that he is not sure what is out there.
Or it could be that it is nonsense.
he said put up or shut up. what more do you want? your intention from the beginning has been to tar them with lies and rumors…as i have said…and now obama has said it. this is all the far right extremists like you have. no ideas. no substance. no integrity.
Well, norm, turned out that Obama’s wrong. Good thing that we did not shut up. It shows that we had MORE integrity and substance than you and Obama.
lurker…wrong about what? where’s the link? where’s the dvd? show me anything besides myths and quotes out of context.
BREAKING!!!!
Here’s a Michelle Obama tape for Stratasphista voyeurs to pant over!! Michelle Obama speaks candidly!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8n6wea0otY&eurl=http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/6/103936/7680/917/530976
And all those folks listening will be voting in November.
The Obama tape showed up and he made that particular quote.
You’re still stuck on the Michelle tape where AJ and many conservative bloggers continue to question the existence of this tape.
That’s the integrity and substance that they have shown all along.
The conservative bloggers WANT to know BEYOND myths, quotes out of context.
And besides, Obama did not answer the question. If he had said, “No.”, then there’s no tape. He did not.
fool. the obama tape linked to is totally out of context. he is qouting someone else. he also answered the question except for fools who cannot understand the english language. this is just like tom delay saying; “…unless he proves me wrong, he is a marxist…” then people like you and the others on this site who have never had an original thought and will post a dozen threads on a mythical tape swallow it up hook line and sinker and repeat it ver batim. this is how we end up with an administration that can invade and occupy another country that posed no threat based upon mythical intelligence. try for once to think for yourself. it will be good for you and for the country.
try for once to think for yourself.
Every Leftist demagoge loves to say this one.. they say “think like me, how dare you think differently”
what an asshole
Norm, I’ve already thought for myself as there are many other evidence proving exactly who Obama is. I’ve already read enough materials and listened to other tapes. They all add up and prove the truth about Obama. You just won’t see it.
Vince is right.
vince…thanks for proving my point once again.
Ya know how some confuse Obama with Osama?
Some say there is good reason for the confusion.
Well here’s a new name for BHO that clears it all up,
just remember the BS
and call him Obsama.
Kind of rolls off the tongue.
Ya think?
OK you Obama groupies, just admit that the guy might have some troubles in trying to define who he is, where he’s been and where he wants to take this country. An organizer of ACORN, and a Senator for one year (before he started campaigning) leaves a lot to be desired. People who vote need to know why they would vote for Obama or not. An intellectual discussion would be preferable to the emotional, he makes my leg tingle tripe put forward so far. Why are you groupies being so defensive? Just what are you defending? If there is not a tape with “whitey” on it, OK. Is there a problem with Michelle calling whites “whitey”? If there is not, defend your position! For crying out loud what’s your problem, defend the guy and all his warts.
you all have spent a week jerking your collective gherkins over a guy that wrote about the terrorist threat declining…two months before 9.11. you [deleted] clowns. no wonder this country is so [deleted] up.

AJStrata: Norm, log off and cool off or be banned.
The reason is coz he ain’t Bush.
Errr…, then how about McCain?
Stoopid! He is Bush!
Leftist logic (that might be an oxymoron) is pretty simple, really.
Remember, if you say anything against this guy who might be our
First Arab President, than you’re one of the R-things, and you’ll
be taken care of, after the revolution, after the glorious Revolution.
kathie…the guy doesn’t have a problem defining who he is…who he is doesn’t fit into your pre-concieved notions so you can’t accept him. try opening your mind and reading something besides the tripe spewed from sites like this. his stands are clear and well defined. you only have to look.
We know who Obama is… He’s the kind of guy that Communists,Marxists, Islamists, Terrorists, and Far-Leftists all agree on … he’s thier guy!
The man is dangerous. Everyone must vote for McCain no matter how much he doesn’t deserve it.
OK Norm tell me about the guy.
What domestic programs would he keep and which would he discontinue to protect us from another attack.
He would talk to Iran, what if they told him they would not attack us if we all converted to Islam, what next?
Suppose leaving Iraq allows Iran to over run Basra and the Iranians take Iraqi oil, and Hezbollah over runs Lebanon and is on their way to Israel. What next?
Gas prices are raising every day. Waiting until 2025 is not an option to be oil independent, what is a solution?
Raising taxes on the rich to fund medical care for everyone might seem like a good idea, but suppose it tanks the economy, like rising gas prices and food costs are doing now. Then what?
Suppose in renegotiating NAFTA, the Mexicans and Canadians tell us their oil is not so plentiful and , they are selling more to China. Then what?
Just a few questions off the top of my head. Any answers put forth by Obama that you could talk about?
kathie…i’m sorry but “…He would talk to Iran, what if they told him they would not attack us if we all converted to Islam, what next…” is not the basis of an intelligent conversation. neither are any of your other hyperbole filled talking points. if you would like to really have an intelligent discussion i welcome the opportunity. but this cannot in any way be interpreted as a serious attempt.
aj…i do not need to cool off…i am simply laughing at your inability(and that of you merry band of followers) to discern fact from fiction. this is obviously why you would see victory in iraq as maliki visits iran to discuss long term us security policy.
