This is the second thread for Bud White’s key story, ““I Now Believe the Tape Exists.” [Reprinted in full below the fold.] FIRST PARAGRAPH:
Roger Stone, respected, hated, and always controversial Republican political knife fighter and commentator for Fox News, has given new credence to Larry Johnson’s reporting of a video of Michelle Obama making racist comments against whites.
Roger Stone, respected, hated, and always controversial Republican political knife fighter and commentator for Fox News, has given new credence to Larry Johnson’s reporting of a video of Michelle Obama making racist comments against whites.
Is Roger Stone to be believed?
Obamabots, bewildered by their devastating streak of losses but hopeful of the delegate stealing yesterday, will no doubt label any reporting by Stone as more “Faux News.”
It should be noted, by the way, that although Stone is quixotic and hated by many, he was once partners with Lee Atwater, not a bad resume builder in the real world of Washington brawling.
It may have been Stone who broke the Eliot Spitzer prostitution story. In the June 2, 2008, issue of The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin goes into depth on how Stone first became privy that Spitzer was involved with a prostitute:
A sign inside the front door of Miami Velvet, a night club of sorts in a warehouse-style building a few minutes from the airport, states, “If sexual activity offends you in any way, do not enter the premises.”
It was at the Miami Velvet where Stone met a woman who hinted at liaisons with powerful men. Although this woman didn’t actually have a date with Spitzer herself, Stone’s political antenna knew instantly that he had hit pay-dirt:
“She told me she had a very high-end clientele—she kept using the word ‘high-end’—athletes, international businessmen, politicians,” Stone said.
“ ‘Like who?’ I asked her,” Stone went on. “She named a couple of sports guys… According to Stone, the woman told him that Spitzer had reached her through her escort service, which listed her as a brunette, but she had dyed her hair blond. So the agency referred the governor to a dark-haired colleague, the woman said, who met up with Spitzer in Miami.”
It may seem strange for Stone to be using a flame thrower against Obama; he is known to detest Hillary. However, in describing his political views and affinity for Nixon, Stone told Toobin:
“He never quit. His whole career was all built around his personal resentment of élitism. It was the poor-me syndrome. John F. Kennedy’s father bought him his House seat, his Senate seat, and the Presidency. No one bought Nixon anything. Nixon resented that. He was very class-conscious. He identified with the people who ate TV dinners, watched Lawrence Welk, and loved their country.”
Like many people, Stone has come to respect Hillary for her grit against the liberal media establishment:
Stone detests Hillary Clinton’s politics but admires her pugnacity. He wrote recently on his Web site, an erratically updated collection of observations called Stonezone.com, “I must admit she has demonstrated true grit and Nixonian-like tenacity in the face of adversity.” Stone particularly admires Clinton’s attempt to hang the “élitist” tag on Barack Obama. “It’s a good idea,” he said.
That hate for elitists might just be why this political insider is going after Obama. Although it’s unclear how much involvement Stone had in outing Spitzer, he clearly is corroborating what Larry Johnson has been reporting on for weeks:
This has little to do with the general election and a lot to do with why Hillary Clinton is staying in the race. Look, there is already a buzz in Washington at least seven news organizations have contacted me, wanting to know how to get their hands on this tape, giving me more information than I had after I had spoken to each one of them. I now believe the tape exists and I believe a network has it. If this pans to out to be true based on Michelle Obama’s previous comment that this is the first time she had been proud of her country which I think shows an attitude it is problematic.
And the corroboration for the “whitey” story continues…

What the living fuck?
I used to love this blog. Then this goddamn primary happened, and all of a sudden Barack Obama becomes worse than McCain? This is horseshit, and nothing else. Where’s the tape, huh? Why are you talking up ROGER FUCKING STONE, the guy who is right now running an anti-Hillary ‘group’ called C*NT. You’re being used by the worst elements of the Republican party, and talking like you’d prefer to see McCain elected than Obama. You’ll surrender the SCOTUS, reproductive freedom, health care, Iraq, Iran, and every other issue we’ve all been working so hard for for the last 8 years, over Hillary losing the nomination? And to do it, you’ll support any right-wing asshole, no matter how misogynistic, who slimes Obama the slightest bit more than Hillary. You’re either a part of a Hillary cult of personality (her person above all other political issues), or you really believe Obama is the anti-Christ, or (god forbid) you’ve been a republican plant all along. I think this last is unlikely, but the only other two alternatives are just plain crazy. I’m done here, and so is everyone (Obamabot or Clintonista) who hasn’t gone crazy. PLEASE wake up and stop being a schmuck - we need you guys on the side of progressive politics again.
It is simply unbelievable, as unbelievable as the behavior of a few berserk Hillary supporters at the Rules and Bylaws meeting yesterday.
And to those ‘claiming’ to have a tape my advice is to put up or shut up. Until or unless you do most people with a still functioning brain will class this with the ‘McCain fathered a black bastard” campaign out of the 2000 primary.

HEY BOTS! I read it anyway even though you tried to censor it!
Hey what gives? I came on here to find out the news about the tape and everything is marked out. Is there any truth to the rumor that there is a tape floating around and when can we expect to see or hear it, Please let them release it before he gets the nomination.
Hillary in 08 and beyond.
If this tape really exists, please do the right thing and release it now.
Over at TM, Taylor is preparing her peeps for hill’s exit. I agree. Taylor Marsh has posted this “This needs to be the last time this happens [dnc backroom negotiations on fl ans mi].” I agree. Then she goes on to say that she will do whatever in her power to make sure McCain is defeated. Huh? So how does she make sure dnc backroom dealings cease in order to get their candidate obama nominated while also making sure the GUY the dnc selected wins the general–Yeah that will teach them–that will get the dnc reeeeal goood. (snark off).
I often wondered why the dnc allowed two minorities to run against each other.i guess that was the only way to stop Hillary sinc Al Gore was not going to run. A straight up contest between Hillary and anyother white male; Hillary cleans their clock. So the dnc wondered…what to do…what to do …Let’s get another minority to run against her and cancel out her advantage. Paging Mr. Obama…paging Mr. Obama. After consulting with his wife, his spiritual advisiors wright and pfleger, his finance guy rezko, and his pal Ayers –they were like sure yeah give it a try. Oh btw, all that stuff we have been talking to you about for over twenty years let’s do something about it…okay? Obama replies “yes we can!”
Taylor is going to have to pick a side because her postings are becoming to convoluted and contradictory. Either you vote for mccain because what the dnc did is an antipathy to the american values or you work to help the dnc elect the nominee it selected a long time ago i.e. Working to defeat mccain.
I’ve stopped going to TM, she’s starting to have this pity snark in her writing about Hillary. I agree, she was against Obambi before she was for him. WTF?
“This needs to be the last time this happens [dnc backroom negotiations on fl ans mi].”
This sounds just like a battered wife going back to an abuser.
Well count me out. This is now bigger then Hillary or Obama, it has to do with the lack of integrity coming from the DNC. You don’t get to treat your base this way and then expect them to fall in line when you snap your fingers.
Why would you want someone as president who thinks of us a typical white people, And his wife maybe calls us whitie. If the tape is real i,am going to vote for McCain.
I’m female, college educated and 59 years old, so might I suggest that before you vote out of pique you consider John McCain’s perfect record of voting AGAINST all women’s issues, plus the well known fact that he had no problem calling his wife the “C” word publically.
PLEASE GET THIS TAPE OUT and shut these media pundits and Obamabots up.
They convicted Tony Rezko today, the day AFTER Obama secured the nomination.
Go do some research on how the slum lord helped BO get a house, and how he helped BO’s campaign.
Check out Ayers
Wright & Pfleger, what is up with this?
How many bad people does a person have to associate with?
Imagine if Obama ever met Larry Johnson he’d be finished!!!!!
[...] Larry STARTED it??? Here’s an article from Johnson’ own website that specifically states it… Thread #2 : I Now Believe the Tape Exists by Bud White [...]
