So, what's the deal? If this is fake then why were people saying that she said, "why'd he," and not "whitey?"

Because some people are partisan hacks who will come up with anything to defend their candidate.

As for me, if a video comes out of Michelle Obama bashing whitey, I can assure you that I will not vote for Michelle Obama.

Damage control.

I'd be curious as to what the tape in the book was reference to -- if it also was of the candidate or the candidate's wife using the term "whitey", then that's one hell of a coincidence or something someone cribbed from the novel.

Last season of "The West Wing" resembles this election somewhat too. Pretty strange.

 
big_pth [TotalFark] 2008-06-06 02:16:27 PM  
Acutally, robsul82, the writers who wrote the final seasons of the West Wing got a lot of their modeling of Santos from the people who are running Obama's campaign...

If this is real why haven't we seen it yet. I heard about the Hilton sex tape and 2 minutes later I saw it. I would think that at this point some news agency somewhere would have gotten a hold of it and be milking it until the teat is dry.

Get ready for more rumors in August/September that Obama's daughter was involved in "Project Treadstone" and that she's been involved in some serious dirty dealings and assassinations of foriegn nationals and diplomats from allied countries.

Of course Sasha will deny it, claiming to have suffered a bizarre "memory lapse" following an incident in the Mediterranian Sea off Cote D'azur........

I still believe that somewhere out there is a Britney sex tape from when she was bald. I just have to get through all these rickrolls to find it. Video 1,309,129... play... Damn it. Another farking rickroll!

Well, if real, I would imagine that who ever had it would wait until Obama got the nomination and was well along in his campaign before dropping the bomb.

It's much more powerful as a potential than as a reality. Since nobody has seen or heard the tape, then anything is possible.

Did Michelle Obama say she hates America on it?
Did she say that her husband was going to force whites into slavery?
Did she say that she hopes Xenu will come soon and wipe humanity from the planet?

Who knows? If only there was some sort of way for average people to post things on the internet so that everyone can see it and judge it for themselves. Maybe some sort of tube?

 
JerseyTim [TotalFark] 2008-06-06 02:20:21 PM

crypticsatellite: So, what's the deal? If this is fake then why were people saying that she said, "why'd he," and not "whitey?"

imagine someone who had these dvds were looking through them trying to find what Larry Johnson was talking about. they came across a video of Michelle saying "Why'd he {insert Bush complaint here}" and thought that must have been what he was talking about. And that his leaking what he wanted people to hear when they heard it was just planting a suggestion. it's an old psyop trick. Johnson fancies himself an ex-spook.

this is my best theory of why it happened like that. maybe he was going to try to leak it like those people did with that video of Carville and Stephanopolus. they planted the suggestion at the beginning of the video and then garbled the audio a bit. And voila people thought he said what they had suggested.

anyhoo no one is putting it out there so ya gotta think it's just bs from Johnson.

Richard North Patterson's The Race also bore a resemblence to this campaign.

It was an OK read. Prophetic? Hardly.

If it is the McCain camp who has it, maybe, doubtful, but maybe.

If it is a news agency, they would blow their load early to make sure they got the most of it.

except it was claimed that it was from a trinity united church dvd. if it is, then trinity has it, a number of trinity members have it, the obamas themselves probably have it...

in fact, the rev wright videos from earlier this year came from... the trinity united church dvd. didn't they? if so, why hasn't anyone bothered to watch the rest of it and find all this crazy "whitey" stuff?

Wow...talk about the way back machine.

Saw them do that at the first Lollapolooza (or however the fark you spell it).

Though, it wasn't as entertaining as Gibby from the Butthole Surfers coming on stage with a shot gun, no shirt, and a beer bottle during the into to Revolution Part I... or the "sod war" everyone had during Living Color.

Bet Great Woods (or whatever it's called now) still regrets resodding the place a week before that show.

Because they republicans who would publish it generally finish fapping right after the "God damn America" section, then they switch over to a sports channel.

Interesting. Found a review of the book and the report seems at least partially accurate.

That's a little creepy.

Anyone read the book?

Dude I had to wait for my paycheck, pick up my girlfriend, roll some fat joints and drive out to Mansfield. Rollins Band was onstage when we finally got there. I remember being peeved that Siouxsie had to cancel but NIN was a mindblow.


I caught it Atlanta. Siouxsie was incredible but NIN had some technical difficulties and the keyboardist compounded it by passing out. Heatstroke or booze, I guess. Or both.

FlashHarry: even michelle malkin doesn't think the "whitey" video exists.

You ain't kidding: "All sorts of buffoons are hyping the story, the effect of which will be to undermine all legitimate criticism of Michelle Obama."

Ouch. Of course, that's why I said there is a greater likelihood of a convincing video of Bigfoot existing than there is of this supposed tape.

 
keylock71 2008-06-06 02:52:10 PM  
Nabb1 and Nestea Plunge

Rollins kicked ass... as usual.

I was bummed about Souxie, too.

I was there to see the Butthole Surfers, though. I have yet to see a better live act, in my opinion. Though they didn't really translate too well on a large stage like Great Woods.

Much better to see 'em in a small shiatty little club.

Ice T with Body Count were unimpressive...bastard got winded after two songs.

I was certainly dismayed by the lack of availability of recreational drugs at that festival, too...

crypticsatellite: So, what's the deal? If this is fake then why were people saying that she said, "why'd he," and not "whitey?"

Because there is a video out there of her saying "Why'd he cut folks off medicaid? Why'd he let New Orleans drown? Why'd he do nothing about Jena? Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason?" in a speech as part of a criticism of President Bush. Larry Johnson (the racist scum bag who started this meme) wants you to hear "Whitey" in stead of "Why'd he".

Hell, I would even consider not voting for Barack then (on the grounds that he'd then be unelectable).

But the tape is only a right-winger's wet dream fantasy so it's a moot point.

now my thoughts on that are this...... the tape "whitey" would have been made in 2004
so that is plenty of time for a GOP operative to write such a book in 2006
knowing that in 2004 obama was being selected "not elected" at that point in time.

so IMHO this does not debunk the mystery of this tape or say that it in way shape or form does not exist
as they are writing in regards to this article over on Daily Kooks today.

This.

Leaving it up to speculation allows the people subconsciously looking for a reason not to vote for him to come up with their own, and prevents the concept from being effectively debunked.

The logic is the same as the argument for religion. "You can't PROVE God doesn't exist."

At this point I don't even think she's a tenth as vindictive as her "supporters" are. Although I don't even know if I believe they truly support her. My mom, my girlfriend's mom, and my sister were all very much "V for Vagina" voters in the primary, and not a single one of them entertains the thought of voting for McCain.

/and not only was my girlfriend's mom a "V for Vagina" voter, she was one of the "Why are they picking on poor Hillary?" people just a few weeks ago.

 
Beelzebubbles 2008-06-06 03:20:00 PM  
I think it's sad that this rumored tape story has legs at all. Really shows how there are many, many people out there who really want make Obama's campaign about race and prejudice, and not issues. Also shows that there are a lot of morons out there.
