This is THREAD #2 — comments in the previous thread will be closed shortly. COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW CLOSED. GO TO THREAD #3.
FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. Read Larry Johnson’s description of what is ON the tape. That is the story.
BELOW the fold, Larry Johnson’s full story:
By Larry Johnson on June 2, 2008 at 7:43 AM
I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” “STUNNING.” It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.
Barack may have quit his church but his religious problems are not over. Barack Obama has a Nation of Islam problem. Before Barack came on the scene, THE MAN in that political district was Louis Farrakhan. No one could take Alice Palmer’s seat without Farrakhan’s blessing. No one. I do not fault Barack Obama for seeking out the blessing of Farrakhan, but the story of what was done behind the scenes to get rid of Barack’s predecessor—Alice Palmer—has not been told. A knowledgeable source tells me that Tony Rezko played a direct role in this feat.
It also should come as no surprise that Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff—Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been—until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks—listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, we begin to understand that the Nation of Islam has been a critical component of Barack Obama’s base of support. This is not guilt by association, this is guilt because of actual relationship. Farrakhan, Wright, and Pfleger are each on tape in various settings spewing the most vile racists garbage in the guise of preaching. Barack Obama, up to this point, has tried to pretend he had no idea that these men had these thoughts or said these things.
NONSENSE!! He knew and he knows. And the gig will be up when the Michelle tape hits the airwaves. I have received new information about how this tape was acquired. Let’s just say that one of the republican candidates who is no longer in the race but had a dandy oppo research capability uncovered this gem. If Republican poohbahs have their way the tape will remain on ice until October. But when it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam. That’s not a winning platform in November.
She said “Why’d he” NOT “whitey” and was referring to president bush. As in, “why did he do nothing when New Orleans was flooding?”.
more info
Have you seen the tape? Your ‘Why’d he?’ suggestion seems pretty lame to me.
Oh yeah? So you’ve heard/seen the tape?
How about giving us a full transcript? And you are admitting there is a tape with Farrakhan? VERRRY INTERESTING!
So there is a tape then? Did you see it or has Obama camp told you to repeat this for bow wave spin?
Actually she was discussing the merits of breakfast cereals and she has a unique way of pronouncing Wheaties.
So when it sounded like she said Whitey she was really saying Wheaties.
spin based on incorrect blogs like mydd and dkos. Nice try.
What’s Up With Why’d?
I’ve got the ol’ armchair and bags of popcorn ready and waiting.
I’m looking forward to seeing a real demonstration of “Ignorance is Strength” in action.
FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. Read Larry Johnson’s description of what is ON the tape. That is the story.
The tape is REAL. Larry Johnson’s description of what is on the tape is two degrees removed from what is REAL.
And I am not a Hillary supporter. I am a McCain supporter. We don’t need rumor and unsupported innuendo to elect John McCain. We will elect him because the American people will see that Barack Never-Make-A-Pretty-Woman-Your-Wife Obama would not make a pimple on McCain’s behind.
McCain would especially like Obama as his opponent.
You need to accommodate him, Larry.
For those that expect to see the tape, get real???
More like … get real and show the tape.
Showing it = making it real. Talking about what is on it = keeping it unreal.
Agreed. I was excited by news of the tape but now it just feels like a rumor with legs. This is the kind of shit Republicans did to Clinton when he was president. If the tape is real, why not just act reserved until you can show it? This is following, line-for-line, the trajectory of all those UFO videos people claim to have, with the tin-hatters happily chatting away on the boards about how they can’t wait to finally see proof of aliens, until some grainy, inconclusive tape shows up, if ever.
I fear you’re keeping rumors alive, Larry, not exposing the truth, until you can give *some* proof of the tape’s existence except “I heard it from some guys who know stuff”. Because my source (a very reliable Republican insider with ties to network execs who says, yes the tape exists, and he’s seen it) told me it’s actually a lot worse and has MO with Osama Bin Laden gang beating an effigy of Betsy Ross.
Larry, you lost a lot of credibility today. You promise something big, and you deliver very very very little.
Like Hillary, you have very little to stand on now. Unless you can produce the video, you will be ignored by all those who matter in politics.
Today? He lost credibility MONTHS ago.
Shorter No Quarter:
We’ve got thirty years worth of files, right here in this computer, they’re
gonna bring you down!! [Throws the computer off the balcony, computer smashes up on the ground]
…Where’d all the files go?
Never heard of back ups?
That’s it ??????
My read on this is that Larry is getting played by the Republicans. These kinds of smears tend to have some blowback on the smearer, even if true. By getting it out through a pro-Clinton site the Republicans keep their hands clean.
This is true even if there is a tape (I’m skeptical), but it is 1000% more true if there is no tape. In that scenario both Clinton and Obama will have suffered (Obama through a false smear; Clinton by association with her supporters who pressed that smear).
I would say this reading is reinforced by the fact that Larry’s sources are apparently Republican operatives. What incentive would those operatives have to tease this now? Wouldn’t they be better off holding their cards close to the vest until at least August, perhaps even later? The only reason I can think of is that they don’t want the blowback (which could be severe if this turns out to be a bogus story).
Show the tape, or identify by name and organization your sources, or shut up.
You’ve been duped, like Larry duped Jason Leopold.
Nice to see the Obama Cult with its hair on fire.
Lol!
The tape will be big news when the Republicans/McCain Media deem it most advantageous to McCain to release it. NOT before, dumb ones.
Rezko, Ayers, Farakhan, Michelle, Wright, Pflueger, bitter white folk, the paper thin resumé, on and on, one gift to McCain after the other…tossed into the rancid broth that is the glib nonentity’s political history. The Republican media will Swiftboat the speechifying nonentity in two weeks, tops, and by October, you’ll wish Michelle’s tape was the only thing they had.
Obama will make Dukakis look like Wilt Chamberlain. The Scalias of the Democratic Party…Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, Kerry the loser, will come to understand, along with the rest of us: there is no affirmative action in a general election.
Get ready for a hard, bitter lesson, Obama Cult.
…just in primaries….
The Obama Cult’s pants are on fire, too.
Folks, it is not about Michelle’s Whitie issues. It is about Louis Farakan sitting next to Michelle. It is about the bonding between the members of the Nation of Islam and the Trinity Church. It is about a conspiracy to take over the Nation. That can be demonstrated by words Louis Farkan has said over and over.
LARRY
u killing me with suspense. U GONNA GIVE ME STOMACH CRAMPS ,,,
pls tell ur sources to show the tape ,,,,
Mr. Johnson:
This is the first time I’ve seen your blog.
You’re either a total moron, or you think OTHER people are. You have got to be KIDDING with this crap.
I live in New York; I have voted for Senator Clinton every time she has run, and I have volunteered for her campaigns in the past.
If she runs for Senate again, I hope somebody primaries her.
I was completely wrong about what sort of person she is.
At best, she’s a delusional nut.
If she isn’t delusional, then she’s a bad PERSON.
Looking at her behavior, it’s one or the other.
Screw you, concern troll.
What’s up to now $5 a post? Go bugger your mother.
“FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. Read Larry Johnson’s description of what is ON the tape”
***********
Sorry, I do not accept here say as evidence of wrong doing. You say there is a tape, then show… otherwise, this just looks like political parlor tricks, and sour grapes from poor losers.
Some constructive criticism here:
I love this website, but I really think you need to use your promotional skills a little more judiciously in the future. You got so many people riled up this weekend over your big Monday morning announcement that I’ve actually seen people commenting around the net that some massive Obama bomb was going to drop today.
Now, no bomb has dropped and it’s a huge letdown.
I think what you posted here is news, and important, but without a video it is NOT going to change anything.
We need to SEE THE VIDEO.
And what if we never see the video? Then you will end up with egg on your face.
So please…don’t hype up rumors before you post them. It is not helping Hillary and hurts your credibility.
Thank you!
agreed, show it or stop it.
Really? Seems to me that the real story here is that Larry hasn’t been able to produce anything, no tape, no transcript, just his own biased — not to mention hopeful — interpretation.
It’s hard to think of anything more grotesque than Democrats internalizing and then utilizing the smear tactics of Karl Rove.
Well done. You’re just what the GOP ordered.
I came over to this site for the first time based on a post I read over at Hillary44. So I see that some of you children were so hopeful for an Obama slam today….in hopes of what? That adults who have voted in this election would have a “damn” moment where they slap their heads and think “well perhaps Hillary the Unhinged Liar is the better candidate!”…good luck with that one..oh good luck waiting on Larry Johnson to come through here too but I also see that you guys have a ready made excuse too since he is failing to produce said tape. LOL The big bad GOP has it and won’t “sell” it now or they are keeping it for later.
Did your parents breed for stuid or were you guys just sad mistakes in genetic material? Either way you need to hit your knees and thank someone that breathing is an automatic response! Your too stupid to breath let alone vote!
Hillary lost. It’s over and your inability to support the democratic party and process is duly noted…now go be a Republican or whatever you people do when you don’t get your way because your ctying jags, screaming and lying are finally at an end.
lol say what you will.
but obama and michelle will start to see a true picture of the USA soon.
And the vote will go to Hillary or McCain.
Uniter ? Yeah Right more like the Great Divider.
The obamanation cant stand in the light of truth.
Whether the tape is real or not the funniest thing is the reaction of the Obama trolls:
“There is no tape!”
“And on the tape she says ‘why’d he’ not ‘whitey’”!
This is too funny.
WOW!!!
And this after the TAPE OF THE ALIEN PEEKING THROUGH A WINDOW!!!
Is the same alien ALSO in the church ranting against ‘HUMANY’!?!?!?
There are tens of thousands dead in Iraq, plus some thousands of American boys, and the best you can come up with as an issue is if the candidate’s wife said “why’d he” or “whitey”?
You’re some lame brain … If this goes down with the electorate, just sign the country over to Rush Lumbaugh and Bill O’Reilly to run.
When I heard the Republicans have a few of Bill’s recent bed partners on ice for October (in case you-know-who was the nominee) I was apalled … wouldn’t you be? This is worse.
“FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. Read Larry Johnson’s description of what is ON the tape”
Bwah hah hah hah hah! In other words, “Trust me - I once worked for the government.”
Larry, I used to read your stuff fairly regularly, and even linked you from my own blog back in the day. The past several months of material on this site, however, have been pretty painful to watch. You guys have, as they say, jumped the shark and you’ve blown whatever remaining credibility you may have had.
Either post the tape or stop engaging in juvenile smears; if I want someone to spoonfeed me propaganda, I can watch Fox News.
Hey, “Alier4 Hillary”:
How come there were so many Clinton supporters in that room that Alexis Herman had to keep banging her gavel to shut them up every time they didn’t like what they heard?
I am so sick of the Clinton whiners. Desperate for some dirt on Obama. Pathetic individuals who whine “sexism” at every turn, but when Reverend Wright (not Obama, mind you) talks about racism, they all shit in their Depends! Give me a break.
Clinton in losing, get it? Obama is winning. Go vote for McSame if you want to. It’s your vote. Women worked damn hard for the vote, and you’re going to give up your vote to a Republican who obviously shares none of your values (if you support Clinton, that is) just because you are sad and dejected that your candidate didn’t win. You are pathetic and make me ashamed.

Before you get all huffy with us, Susan, please explain where Larry’s description of what is on the tape is located. Then explain why the follwing in bold from the previous post has been edited out of the current post.
“By Larry Johnson on June 2, 2008 at 7:43 AM
I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.”
Same time of post, without the admission he hasn’t seen it. So, has he seen it or not? And where is the descriptive, the transcript?
No tape, only an edited version of a previous post.
Whatever credibility you had in the past is now completely lost.
Nice scam to get people to check out your little blog.
This was my first and last visit.
Our hearts are broken.
LARRY
come on ,,i know what U GUYS R DOING
building up suspense,,
pls show the tape now
today
today
or
it will be too late ,,
“FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. ”
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
For those expecting to see evidence of these far-fetched claims, they should “get real”? Maybe you should “get real”, instead of giving faux news ammo over a misheard comment.
Put up or shut up, you lying sack of shit.
I never read Larry stated anywhere that he has the video. He has only kept us updated on the information that he has received. And which he has, very carefully, stated any issues some might have with his update.
So, all of these Obama supporters who are claiming something was promised and it was not received, are wrong.
You need to brush up on those reading comprehension skills. As well as, try reading what Larry has offered in the past considering this video. Information and confirmation from various, unconnected sources.
Trying to flood this site with such ignorant responses does nothing to support your cause, that you have actually researched Obama. It actually discredits such suggestions.
Nor will it change the minds of people here who already now what Larry has provided in terms of that video. Information and confirmation, while continuing to express the knowledge that it will probably be left to an October Surprise. Too late to help Hillary.
Demanding to see the video he has repeatedly stated he doesn’t have….is just plain stupid….Obama supporters.
Hahaha where the hell is the tape? The fact that their is no tape makes Larry Johnson look like the stupidest red neck with the stupidest hair cut ever. I remember this past weekend when Larry said Monday he’ll be revealing the tape all of his readers were like “yeah get the popcorn” “Barack Hussein Obama’s candidacy is over”, well guess what all there is no damn tape. Larry stop blogging and go get a better hair cut pudgy face.

I hope you realize your journalistic integrity is on the line.
I still want some free delegates .
How much per 1 delegate ?
Where do I find the link to see this tape on Michele Obama? will someone please tell me where it is? Thanks!
Rickie Banning, HillaryClintonSupportersCountToo.com
Larry, I appreciate having you on my side, but I’m afraid the criticisms offered here are correct.
Without a tape, this is just a “whispering campaign” and it hurts your credibility to be participating in it.
It’s best to wait until claims can be substantiated before we repeat them.
You’re a warrior, and I appreciate that. But be careful about being played by the Repugs.
Of course, should the tape actually materialize some day,you’ll be vindicated. Until then, though, there will be a question mark by some of your assertions. And that’s a shame because it weakens your effectiveness.
Still, I thank you for fighting for Hillary.
Fight on Hillary! You are rock! Show the tape in Denver at the convention!!! We believe in you and know that Obama is a bad, bad loser.
OMG! And now a NEW revelation! It’s just been confirmed that Larry Johnson and his followers are DOUCHE-BAGS!
What a freak show…
Paper or plastic?
Douche bags uh Obamabots are gas bags. Larry never said he had the tape or has seen it. He has stated that the Republicans have it and will release it as an October surprise so until then we will just have to wait and see if anyone is being played. What I find funny is the Obamabots are so worried about this tape that they are foaming at the mouth because it hasn’t been shown yet. You morons Obamabots will have a terrible summer waiting for the other shoe to drop. I can tell you there are more revelations about Bambi the pig coming. You can count on the Republicans to find them and use them to great effect.
Ok I just got home so I thought I missed it.
Susan, Why do you say “GET REAL”?
I thought we were getting the tape? No?
You’ve been duped, like Larry duped Jason Leopold!
Thank you Susan for clarifying for all of the thick headed on here.
Kennedy, Kerry, Daschel, et al. should make Obama drop out of the race.
Otherwise, Obama is going to be so wounded he will never be elected.
lol! Ooooooooooooo-kay. Hey Larry, don’t do what ya like - go see a psychaitrist tonight!
Oh yes, the tape isn’t the story, it’s Larry Johnson’s third-person reporting from five people who have talked with someone who’s seen the tape.
Now THAT’S credibility baby!!!
Just so everyone understands, LJ has admitted his information is from a secondhand source. This whole “breaking” story is based on a rumor. Awesome journalism.
I want to ask a serious question to you LJ and to all your staff here, if this story ends up being false, and the evidence more closely aligns with what is being “reported” on MYDD (”Why’d he”), will you issue a full hand written apology to Michelle Obama for smearing her name?
Trolls making personal insults: You only further our resolve to keep fighting and making donations to Hillary’s campaign. So knock yourselves out silly.
And your posts will get deleted.
This might interest folks:
Obama’s church of ill will
Great move if you want this to continue festering. Thanks Barry!
LOL. We’re trolls? There are more of us than you, and we’re not the ones spewing toxic rumors. Who are the trolls?
U JUST SAID IT We’re trolls? There are more of us than you,
You are. This isn’t your blog. Duh.
You losers are the trolls of the entire internet, regurgitating hearsay to drum up an emotional reaction. Seeing your guys’ cognitive dissonance when you realize that a) There is no tape, and b) Obama is the nominee, will be priceless.
You may want to look up the definition of cognitive dissonance, sweetie.
… words mean things.
I get where he’s coming from. At least five of my friends told me about this tape they’ve seen of Hillary Clinton punching babies. It’s TRUE I SWEAR!
Have you seen the video? Of course not. So you can’t say what was said on it. There is no basis in reality for your assertion.
Wow the trolls are out in full force. They must be scared of something.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah………………………………….
this is NOT what we’ve been waiting for
no way
that was a joke being passed around a few days ago
I don’t think it has anything to do with what Larry is talking about. We’ll see. An apology would definitely be a good idea otherwise.
jmo.
noo we tried I am sure, but the GOP has it, if 1 million bounty by GOP billionaire who is anti McCain cant get it, we cant get it
but we will ALL get to see it sooner or later, hopefully sooner
with Rupert Murdoch extolling the virtues of Uhhbama I am hoping the GOP will realize there is a slim chance this guy could Chicago Combine his way thru a GE..dont take the chance please, release it now GOP guys!
This whole thing reminds me of Senator Iselin in The Manchurian Candidate.
*Looks at a bottle of Heinz Ketchup*
“There are 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the State Department!”
So this whole thing is bogus? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
BTW – what about the story that Michelle Obama wasn’t saying “whitey” but rather “why’d he…”? Larry tell you anything about that?
My God, the loser trolls are out in force today. Or is it just a couple of morons changing their names?
“Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us”

Yeah, you sure are namejacker. Why don’t you have the balls to show your real name when you call somebody an asshole?
LOSER!!!!

name one —kerry–donna–and on on on on
now go fuck urself
ALLEGED QUOTE from a RUMORED VIDEO. What a load of contrived bull.
I don’t know why this is such a big deal. Many African Americans feel this way. If anything, you are just saying Michelle Obama is a typical black woman.
Yeah Larry keept it coming…couple of osama’s name changing paid losers are here trying to discredit you…they are soooooooooooo fucking nervous…hahahahaha
Everyone spread this…..I sure as hell will continue to do so…from their response it sure as hell is working!!!!
Obamabot trolls are all over the internet today crashing websites. I don’t even know if this will post, I just keep getting timed out.
Anyway, keep up the good work people and don’t let the turkeys get you down.
Fucking laughable and pathetic. I heard from a friend who heard from his sister who said his son’s teacher was a muslim.
Go to hell larry, nasty hate mongerer, you are no better than the rethugs. .
The conservative blogs are asking if this is a tape from the Summit on Reparations, Salaam Restaurant, July of 2003.
..and talking about it without ever seeing it makes that person nothing more than a beauty parlor gossiper.

Heh.
Here is the partial transcript of the tape:
Reported verbiage from Michelle Obama’s tape
Michelle Obama, “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”
Again the above is an alleged quote from a rumored video featuring Michelle Obama.
Its fun and easy to make up quotes! Weeeeeeee!
