you fail!

Take it to RedState.  They'll eat it up.

Begone foul beast, repair to the abyss prepared for you and your corrupt master.

No more of this shameless trash. Michelle is a democrat and the wife of our presumptive nominee she deserves better on this site.

on all the cute and helpless kittens that glitterannebegay allegedly stuffed in a bag and threw in the river?  

This is pretty specific info and should be pretty easy to debunk.  We all look forward to resolution.

Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church

You're trying to smear the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

Ban.

It seems pretty clear what the point of this is. There is no video, it's an effort to create a smear out of thin air.

The idea for the right wingers here is not to actually produce a tape of Michelle Obama saying inflammatory things about "whitey."  The idea is to convince everyone that such a tape exists... by then the actual tape doesn't even matter.  It's about assassinating her character with rumors so often that whether or not the rumors are true becomes irrelevant.

Here's my question:

While the Swift Boat allegations were completely false, they got out there unchallenged for long enough to throw the election to George W. Bush.

The Obama is a Muslim smear e-mail, which as I understand probably started from the same source as this pile of horse manure, got out there and around the world to the point that there's a lot of people, including my dumb as a post stepmother, who believe it.

Shouldn't we be getting out in front of this story and pushing what a ridiculous allegation it is so that when people are on the receiving end of this whisper campaign they know to say "That's retarded?"

Maybe you should do some very basic fact checking before posting something, like did that organization have a meeting at those times and dates.

I eagerly await your banning.

McCainerrific!

Go away, or face the wrath of the one ring.

...here's Jake Shimabukuro playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on a ukelele.  Prepare to be amazed.

Wake up Clinton supporters. The GOP and the media are doing what they did to the Clintons in the 90's to the Obama's now. Real dems don't let Republicans attack our folks. Period.

The other day the claim was that Michelle Obama railed against "whitey" for Katrina but this date is before Hurricane Katrina.

BTW, does it make any sense for Michelle Obama to rant against Bill Clinton during the summer that Barack was running for Senate?  

This doesn't add up. Cut the rumor mongering.

I mean diaried....

" Real dems don't let Republicans attack our folks. Period."

How hypocritical. After the Obama folks have been sliming Hillary Clinton with the right wing smear campaign for so long. You must be joking now?

By your definition, there are almost no Obama supporters who are "real dems".

I went to the link in the diary and also found this

UPDATED: It seems really easy for Chicago local media, especially, to determine whether or not this is the right tape of Michelle Obama. All they need to do is pull the tape from this 2004 Conference (particularly the panel Michelle was on), which should be readily available (since this was a very large multi-day event). All a journalist needs to do is watch this tape: if this is not the right one, they'd know immediately and this issue would be debunked. But, logically, this seems to be the most likely source of the tape people have been talking about at NoQuarterUSA.net

This is a truly bizarre statement. Why would the Chicago media make tapes of all the panels at a PUSH conference? And since this was the summer that Barack ran for Senate, if such a tape existed, it would have been news then and he never would have gotten the nomination for his Senate seat.

Here is the update posted on the site you referenced. Seems like the MSM could easily refute if it wasn't true. I dunno, but someone needs to get to the bottom if it and debunk ASAP if it isn't true.

In "Annie Hall" Woody Allen's character is obsessing over a slur he inferred in the following exchange:

Woody: Did you eat?
Unnamed Person:  No.  D'you?

Allen's character bizzarely reads in to that "D'you" the word "Jew", as a subtle dig at him.  

Michelle Obama:

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?

Larry Johnson thinks we should hear that as "whitey".

Woody Allen, in satire.
Larry Johnson, in seriousness.

Seriously, folks, if you want some entertainment, check out the comments over at the NoQuarter blog. Larry and Susan Hu are totally stringing their users along in what looks like a cynical play for hits/ ad dollars, and half the people there are totally buying it.

They tease that the tape will be released (always tomorrow), and the dead-enders respond with comments like "I believe...I want to believe." It's truly tragic/ hilarious.

...kind of getting old the second time around.

Site owners, why are you allowing this?

Rumor rumor rumor

ban ban ban

now.. once and for all

fuck off unless you can provide proof.

Wait, I've got a better one: This guy goes to Juarez on vacation and he meets a woman in a bar. He gets drunk and goes home with her and passes out. When he wakes up, his spleen is gone!  

We are asked to judge Sen. Clinton on her own merits and experience, quite reasonably in my judgment.  She plays up her many accomplishments over a long and distinguished career.  This record of accomplishment is a major reason I supported her for the nomination once my candidate dropped out.  But we are told to never judge her on the basis of President Clinton's behaviors, policies, associations, etc.  She is not made from President Clinton's rib, after all.  She stands as an impressive figure on her own, free from any possible taint by dint of her association with her husband.

But when it comes to Mrs. Obama, we are to take her supposed conduct (alleged and unproved, spread in the most offensive of slime campaigns) as the defining essence of Sen. Obama's inner soul.  Never mind what he says.  Never mind what he does.  Ignore his accomplishments and record.  All that goes out the window because Mrs. Obama said some things some people might find offensive (alleged and unproved, spread in the most offensive of slime campaigns).

By the way, without the benefit of any, well, textual or other evidence in front of me regarding her comments, I can say that American policy - not Americans, let's not idiotically conflate the two - is substantially responsible for the continental crisis in Africa.  Not alone, but substantially, dating back to early post-war planning (WWII).  And it is true that President Clinton could have done something to try and stop the genocide in Rwanda, but he didn't.  He did urge NATO campaigns in Yugoslavia to stop mass murder, and sometimes I have wondered why the action in the one case but not in the other.

this shit is no longer welcome here.  

with all respect, if you're a true democrat and not someone trying to earn mcpoints, please take whatever time you need to heal after obama's primary victory, then come back here and help us CRUSH mccain.

Jacob Freeze

why am i not suprised

The promised deadline for the release of the tape has long past.

It's not that they don't have it. It's that Booman has apparently seen it, and has called it the scam that it is.

My bet is that the tape is being withheld in order not to confirm Booman's story, and in order to keep bullshit diaries like this circulating.

I've no idea whether there's any substance in all of this but the amount of huffing and puffing going on here should be a warning to the Obama fans of just whats going to happen when things turn dirty with the Republicans and I'm bound to say the degree of dissafection amongst Hillary supporters. Ignore it all at your peril.  

I accidentally hit the recommend button.

Where's the stupid unrecommend button?
