[edit]Background
Larry Johnson moved to Washington, D.C. in 1979 to begin work on a Ph.D. at the American University. Although he completed successfully all coursework and comprehensive exams, he did not write a dissertation. In 1978 and in 1983-85 he worked in Latin America on community development projects as a community organizer. Returning to the United States in 1985 he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, thanks in part to a letter of recommendation from Republican Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) that helped to "open doors" for him at the Agency.[3] Johnson entered on duty at the CIA in September 1985 and was a classmate of Valerie Plame. Every member of that class was undercover. After a year in the Career Trainee program, which included a stint with the Afghan Task Force, Johnson was assigned as an analyst in the Middle America Caribbean Division in the Latin American Affairs Office of the Directorate of Intelligence. He received two Exceptional Performance awards and was promoted ultimately to Senior Regional Analyst for Central America.
Johnson remained undercover in the CIA until October 1989, when he resigned from the CIA and started a new job in the Office of Counter Terrorism at the Department of State. Johnson played an instrumental role in launching the Terrorism Rewards program international advertising campaign (working with Diplomatic Security officers Brad Smith and Michael Parks). [4] Johnson also was involved in a variety of crisis management response operations, including the release of hostages from Lebanon and liaison with the Pan Am 103 families. He left government service in October 1993 and started his own business as a consultant.
After leaving government service, Johnson became a frequent guest on many major television news shows when a question of terrorism came up. He was first interviewed by CNN following the capture of Carlos the Jackal. Johnson subsequently appeared on CNN, ABC's Nightline, CBS, the BBC, MSNBC, the Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC, and NPR. In December of 1999, for example, Johnson was hired by NBC to serve as its terrorist expert for the Y2000 and was in Time Square with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric ("a lot of fun and the best way to see in the New Year"). Johnson also was hired in January 2002 as a Fox News Analyst and remained under contract until February 2003.
Since 1994 a significant focus of Johnson's consulting work has been with the U.S. military special operations forces in scripting and conducting military counter terrorism exercises. He traveled under orders from the U.S. military to Iraq in May 2006 to work on a short term project.
A registered Republican who supported President Bush in 2000, Johnson became a strong critic of the Bush administration in May 2003 for its conduct of the war in Iraq and, a few months later, for its role in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame.[5] He was also featured in the 2004 political documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. Since Robert Novak's controversial disclosure of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in July 2003, Johnson has contributed to public discourse on intelligence matters, often sparking further controversy. He has been interviewed by both the mass media and the alternative media and published commentaries on a variety of issues, including the Plame affair, the controversy concerning Mary McCarthy, and the resignation of Porter Goss as Director of Central Intelligence.

[edit]1996
In 1996, Johnson noted that terrorism worldwide was on the decline. "Terrorist incidents [both internationally and in the US] have fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s. Whether measured by the number of incidents, the number of fatalities, or the number of groups, raw statistics demonstrate that the level of terrorist violence has declined since the mid-1980s. In fact, the evidence suggests terrorism was more widespread and deadly 10 years ago."[6]
He also wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times suggesting that the newer and more deadly terrorist threat to the U.S. was embodied by "networks of terrorists, mostly foreign, working within its borders." Exemplifying this threat was Ramzi Yousef, one of the masterminds behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. In the article, Johnson suggests that enhanced cooperation between intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and CIA, is mandatory to meet the growing threat of terror networks.[7]
[edit]1998
In 1998, Johnson argued that while overall terrorism was declining, the threat from bin Laden and al-Qaeda should be the focus of American counterterrorism policy:
The nature of the threat posed by Bin Ladin is highlighted by my final chart, number 7. Osama Bin Ladin and individuals associated with him have killed and wounded more Americans than any other group. This chart also illustrates that groups such as Hamas and the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) prior to 1998 have killed more foreigners in the anti-US terrorist attacks. If we take into account the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama's status as the most lethal terrorist is certain.[8]
In addition, he told USA Today that bin Laden had participated in "virtually every major attack of terrorism against the United States" in the 1990s. Johnson underlined the threat posed by bin Laden, saying that he was possessed by "hatred and craziness." If left unanswered, "he would continue to terrorize Americans around the world. He has no compunction about killing women and children. He's a complete egalitarian in his murderous attitude."[9]
[edit]1999
In an interview with PBS's Frontline for its 1999 program, Hunting bin Laden, Johnson discussed Osama bin Laden.[10] According to Johnson, Americans had "tended to make Osama bin Laden sort of a superman in Muslim garb." "Actually," he continues, "Osama bin Laden, in my view, represents more of a symptom of a problem, and the problem is this: the Saudi Arabian government, not just Osama bin Laden but many people in Saudi Arabia, have been sending money to radical Islamic groups for years." Johnson continued:
When you look at who's killed Americans in the last 10 years, the individuals he's supported and backed--I'm basing that upon the initial information that's been released in the indictments and conversations with others in the intelligence communities--Osama bin Laden has been the one killing Americans. No other terrorist group in the world has been out killing Americans except for Osama bin Laden.... Osama bin Laden remains out there as the one really targeting us. So, we recognize that he's the threat. He's serious about wanting to kill Americans, but as long as he's in Afghanistan, as long as he doesn't have access to a cell phone, as long as he can't just hop on a plane and travel wherever he wants without fear of being arrested, his ability to plan and conduct terrorist operations is extremely limited. We have to recognize [that] he would like to do a lot of damage. He would like to kill Americans, but wanting to is different from being able to, having the full capabilities in place.[11]
In the interview, Johnson doubted the ability of members of bin Laden's organization to plan and put their lives on the line:
There's not another Ali or Mustafa out there at this point and Osama bin Laden in my view has not been a very effective organizer or leader. He talks a great game and puts out terrific threats as far as stirring the passions in the United States and maybe firing up the imaginations of some young Muslims throughout the world. But when push comes to shove, can he get a group of people who are together who will say: we are going to plan an operation, we're going to put our lives on the line, we're going to go out and try and kill people and we don't care what the consequence is? It hasn't happened.[12]
Frontline asked:
[Is it] ... fair to say what you're saying is that the president of the United States, his national security advisor, his deputy national security advisor for counter-terrorism, are basically blowing smoke [about the danger posed by bin Laden] and his followers]?
Johnson responded:
They're grossly exaggerating the problem. They are hyping it. They shouldn't be talking about rising terrorism. Instead of saying "terrorism's rising," it's not. "Terrorism is spreading," it's not. "More people are dying from terrorism," not the case. But what they should be saying is, "There's one individual out there that really doesn't like us, and he's made it his mission in life to kill Americans, and we've gotta deal with him." But we need to have a voice of reason in that process instead of putting ourselves out crying wolf, because this is essentially what's taking place right now. They call it the administration that cries wolf.[12]
[edit]2000
Johnson co-authored an article in 2000 with Milt Bearden which focused on the threat posed by al-Qaeda specifically, rather than terrorism trends in general. Beardon and Johnson note that new information emerging about the bombings at Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 points to the threat posed by Imad Mugniyah and Osama Bin Laden will require "a coordinated policy that will employ a full range of covert, clandestine, diplomatic, and military operations," concluding:
The Clinton Administration has shot its bolt on the terrorist problem with small effect, and no last minute show of force will change the record. A new administration can start afresh with a more sharply defined set of terrorism goals – Mughniyeh and bin Laden and their protectors for starters – and bring the full, coordinated force of American diplomatic, military, and intelligence capabilities to bear on the problem.[13]
[edit]2001
After Johnson's testimony to the special forum at the U.S. Senate, Gary J. Schmitt, executive director and CEO of the Project for the New American Century, refers in the Daily Standard (blog) to an op-ed piece Johnson wrote two months prior to the 9/11 attacks, claiming that Johnson argued that the US had little to fear from terrorism.[14]
In an editorial entitled "The Declining Terrorist Threat," published in the New York Times on 10 July 2001, Johnson says:
Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.... None of these beliefs are based in fact.... While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.[15]
Ten days after the 9/11 attacks, after quoting the above passage, Timothy Noah concludes a post in his "Chatterbox" feature at Slate: "Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong."[16] Johnson defended himself against such attacks:
The rightwing is resurrecting an op-ed I wrote in July 2001. I stand by the full article. It is still relevant today. I am accused, incorrectly, of ignoring the threat of terrorism. In fact, I correctly noted that the real threat emanated from Bin Laden and Islamic extremism. President Bush, for his part, ignored the CIA warning in August 2001 that Al Qaeda was posed to strike inside the United States.[17]
After September 11, Johnson appeared several times on FOX News to address the question of military action against terrorism. On 14 November, he defended the FBI's proposal to interview 5,000 students in the U.S. suspected of having information relevant to the September 11 investigations:
I think they should talk to everyone that they feel they have a need to talk to. I mean, look, this is war. This is not a legal proceeding. This isn't the O.J. Simpson trial. The folks that attacked us -- they murdered Americans. And we've got to recognize that in wartime, we should do things differently.[18]
[edit]2003
In January 2003, Johnson wrote an analysis of the relationship between the upcoming U.S. invasion of Iraq and the threat of transnational terrorism. According to Johnson, Bremer's response was to tell him that "it didn't matter what Saddam did or didn't do, we were going to war."[19] The paper warned that an invasion would "do little to destroy the infrastructure of radical Islamic terrorism responsible for the 9-11 attacks." Noting that Saddam Hussein's regime has been a longtime supporter of regional terrorist organizations such as the PLO, Johnson examines contacts between Saddam Hussein and transnational terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda:
There is no doubt that Iraq is a state sponsor of terrorism—i.e., a country that provides financial support, safe haven, training, or weapons and explosives to groups or individuals that carry out terrorist attacks. . . . According to Central Intelligence Agency data, there is no credible evidence implicating Iraq in any mass casualty terrorist attacks since 1991. . . .
Johnson notes that the period immediately leading up to 2003 saw a rise of activity surrounding terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, suggesting that "Iraq is willing to help a movement that it would otherwise oppose on ideological grounds. Nonetheless," Johnson concludes, "it is important to understand that Iraqi entreaties to Al Qaeda, are most likely intended as a tactic to bolster Iraq’s ability to fight off a U.S. invasion rather than a deep-seated theological and ideological commitment to the terrorist agenda of Bin Laden.[20]
In that analysis Johnson also warns that the U.S.-led invasion was likely to backfire:
In fact there is a serious risk that a U.S. led war against Iraq may crystallize the diffused anger in the Arab and Muslim world — a heretofore unattained goal of bin Laden and his followers — and persuade more Muslim youths to take up the terrorist banner against America and her citizens.... If we decide to invade Iraq we must be prepared for the contingency that our attack will inspire young Muslims to pursue jihad against the West in general and the United States in particular. Just as the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan rallied many Muslims, especially young adults to the cause of jihad, a U.S. attack may enable Islamic extremists to attract new followers.[20]
Johnson also gave interviews on the topic of what to do with captured al-Qaeda leaders; while he did not condone torture, he suggested that a "sleep deprivation and reward system" might be useful for getting information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed:
I don't see a constitutional right to have eight hours of sleep. You shouldn't subject someone to freezing but they don't get to wear mink coats, either.[21]
In May 2003, Johnson joined members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) in condemning the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes:
It is a misuse and abuse of intelligence. The president was being misled. He was ill served by the folks who are supposed to protect him on this. Whether this was witting or unwitting, I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.[22]
[edit]Plame affair
After Robert Novak wrote a column identifying the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson as a CIA officer, the media invited Johnson to comment on the ensuing scandal because he had been a member of the same Career Trainee class with Valerie Plame Wilson. For example, in October 2003, he appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the Plame affair. He told interviewer Amy Goodman that Valerie Wilson's cover should have been respected whether she was an "analyst" or a "cleaning lady": "if she's undercover she's undercover, period. If the media allows themselves to get distracted with those kinds of curve balls, they ignore the issue."[23]
He told a Senate Democratic Policy Committee in October 2003, "My classmates and I have been betrayed. Together, we have kept the secrets of each other's identities a secret for 18 years. Each and every one of us have kept that secret, whether we were in the CIA, in other government service or in the private sector. But this issue is not just about a blown cover. It is about the destruction of the very essence, the core of human intelligence collection activities: plausible deniability, apparently, for partisan domestic political reasons."[24]
Johnson testified at a special joint hearing of Congressional and Senate Democrats on 22 July 2005 about the consequences arising from the Plame affair.[25]
[edit]2008
In 2008, Johnson emerged as a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and a strong critic of Barack Obama. Larry Johnson's blog, NoQuarterUSA, became a rally point for Clinton supporters wary of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president. Supporters of Barack Obama insist that a story that first appeared on Johnson's blog--a report that Republican operatives have a tape of Michelle Obama making racially insenstive comments about caucasians--has been "refuted" Barack Obama's Fight the Smears website.[26]. However, Johnson never claimed to have the tape and reported that the Republican operatives controlling it intended to release the tape sometime after the Democratic Convention in August 2008. On October 21, however, he asserted that the operative in possession of the tape had been instructed by the McCain campaign not to release it.[27]

It is, to be sure, a little bit cheap (and slightly at odds with the usual parameters of this feature) to criticize someone for making an erroneous prediction, particularly after a tragedy. Chatterbox is especially reluctant to tag Johnson because Johnson's op-ed was argued forcefully, backed up meticulously with factual data, and bravely at odds with conventional wisdom at the time of its publication. Add in that Johnson now makes his living as a consultant to corporations about terrorism, and therefore had everything to gain by exaggerating the dangers terrorism poses, and the guy practically looks like a hero. Chatterbox, who two decades ago was an editor for the New York Times op-ed page, would have published Johnson's piece had he still been an editor there this past July. In his capacity at Slate, Chatterbox might well have written up Johnson's prediction, and perhaps even endorsed it.
But boy, is he glad he didn't! Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong. Sadly, a mistake this embarrassing cannot be ignored. As a fellow skeptic, Chatterbox in all sincerity wishes Johnson better luck next time.

The recording that shows Michelle Obama saying disparaging things about white folks is for real. It is not part of some elaborate dirty trick. The people who have seen her comments describe it as “stunning” or “devastating.” I have not spoken directly with the people who have seen the tape, but I have spoken to two of my friends who are friends with those who watched the tape/dvd.
Are they playing me? No, but it is a valid question to ask. Two of my sources, who have recounted the reactions of their friends who have seen the Michelle “performance,” live on opposite sides of the United States geographically and politically. They do not know each other and had no way of knowing that each of them was talking to me. This is one reason I believe the report of the “tape” is true.
I also have learned that Obama campaign knew about this “tape” at least two weeks prior to my first blog item on the matter. And they are not laughing it off as a joke. (Note to Barack: There are leaks in your campaign.) Ben Smith’s report on the matter only tells part of the story.
The woman from McClatchy who dared ask the question was verbally assaulted by Obama aides. She was treated as if she had made a death threat.
Then there is the matter of the email/disinformation campaign the Obama folks are trying. First they sent some of their bloggers an email claiming that Michelle said “WHY DID HE” rather than use the pejorative, “WHITEY.” And now the excuse is being circulated that somehow I, or someone else, is cribbing from some silly book I have never heard of until now. A campaign does not react this way to a fabrication.
I apologize for any confusion generated from our effort to get on top of this. We made the mistake of putting up the claims from Hillbuzz, but have no way of verifying Hillbuzz’s claim that it is a recording that features Michelle Obama with the wife of Louis Farrakhan. That is not what the sources who have seen the “tape” have reported to me.
The sources who have seen the tape report that Michelle says disparaging things about “whites” and that Louis Farrakhan is visible. There is no identifying information on the segment they have seen to identify the location or time when this was recorded.
Why does this “tape” of Michelle Obama matter? The folks who have it are working to elect John McCain. They are using it now to raise money for a 527 effort that will attack Barack Obama. I am told that they fully intend to keep this “off-the-market” until after the Democratic Convention. The Republicans involved with this believe that Barack Obama is a more beatable candidate than Hillary Clinton and see the tape as reinforcing an image of racial division that will hurt Obama.
I support Hillary Clinton for President. I believe she will be a stronger candidate. And if I had the tape I would put it out in a heartbeat. Getting the tape out now does one of two things–either it persuades Super Delegates that Barack is not electable or it gives the Obama campaign time to repair the damage.
I now appreciate somewhat how Cofer Black, the head of the CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center, must have felt as he tried to warn Condaleeza Rice and the Bush White House about a brewing terrorist attack in the days leading up to September 11th. And please, I am not equating the Michelle tape with the attacks of 9-11. Rather I am focused on the point of what happens when someone has incomplete information, which warns about a future event, and tries to raise the alert. Just because Cofer Black could not say in late July 2001 that the coming attack would be carried out by 19 hijackers on four commercial airliners did not mean his intelligence was wrong.
Those who want to vilify me for having the audacity to raise this warning can have at it. I ran up against similar attacks and skeptics in May of 2003 when I warned that the Bush Administration had cooked the intelligence on Iraq. It is only now that we get a Senate Intelligence Committee Report and a book from Scott McClellan confirming what I said five years ago.
I caught more heat in October of 2003 when I defended Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA officer. Again, we had to wait until the trial of Scooter Libby to learn that the claims she was just a glorified secretary were lies. And once again Scott McClellan, Bush’s former Press Secretary, confirms that he was lied to as well about Valerie’s status and who was involved in spreading her name around town.
My efforts on those two issues earned me the enmity of many on the political right. On at least two separate occasions the Wall Street Journal editorial page attacked me by name and accused me of being part of a CIA effort to sabotage the policies of President Bush. Those charges were repeated and amplified in a subsequent book by Kenneth Timmerman,
.
Now it is some on the left who are attacking me and behaving in the same manner as those who rejected my reports on Iraq and Valerie Plame. Now I am a Republican tool. Here’s a small, but representative sample of the “love” letters coming my way:

Really? If that’s the case, where’s the video? You and I know that if such a video exists it would have appeared on YouTube by now. But the truth seems to be there’s no such tape not because it hasn’t appeared on the web but because you can’t even keep your story straight. If you knew anything for a fact, your story would at least be consistent. I especially love how your sources are “all Republicans with access to knowledge but who do not know each other.” How convenient. But you and I also know that most insiders with access tend to know, or know of, each other. I suspect you made this up to cover your ass: since you name no names and you say the Republican insiders don’t know each other, there’s no way for anyone to disprove you. How clever. I’m also amazed at the bold face lie you tell your readers: that Michelle Obama was at Trinity Church when she made the speech, only to recant later and admit that you “do not know where this [the alleged panel discussion] occurred.”
Please stop using your blog to spread lies and rumors. It is not making this country any better.

Now for the shocker. If the election comes down to a choice between John McCain and Barack Obama I will vote for Bob Barr. I live in Maryland and my state is very likely to vote overwhelmingly for Barack. I continue to believe that Barack is not qualified by experience or temperament to be President. I will be happy to be proved wrong on that count. But, if elected, he is likely to revive memories of the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter. How apropos that Jimmy endorsed Barack.
And I cannot support John McCain, who is staffing his national security team with many of the bozos who were instrumental in bringing us the debacle in Iraq. Of particular concern is Randy Scheunemann. A confidant of Douglas Feith, Scheunemann represents a continuation of the disastrous Bush policies in the Middle East. I’ll devote more time later to these issues.
Let me conclude with this–I think there is at least one tape/recording that will be released sometime after the August convention and is likely to be very damaging to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. While I hope that Super Delegates wake up and realize that Hillary is their best shot for victory in the fall, I realize I am swimming upstream. So word to Barrack and team–the tape is coming at some point and you folks better be ready to deal with it because, unlike the situations with Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger, you cannot divorce your wife in the middle of a campaign.
Larry, I’m interested in your thoughts on Hillary’s speech today. As the proprietor of this site, are you in line with what HRC said about supporting Obama? Or is NoQuarter a Republican site now?
Larry, quick question: what did you think of Hillary’s speech today? Are you going to support her very passionate and sincere plea for her supporters to support Obama and the Democratic Party? Or is NoQuarter now officially a Republican site?
Major troll magnet article!
LOL!
Larry,

Yawn.
Obama played golf today while Hillary gave her speech–how is that for arrogant and disrespectful.
http://clintondems.com/2008/06/obama-golfs-during-hillarys-speech-to-suspend/#comment-2123
Actually, Obama watched her speech on the internet.
considering he was playing golf that was so “nice” of him. frankly, i don’t think babyo watched it at all. he might have seen parts of it that his followers think he should see.
babyo was seen with his golf clubs. so typical and eliteist!
FOUND THE TAPE!

Obama was supposed to come to New Orleans today to speak to the National Conference of Black Mayors. He would’ve been able to discuss all those issues he blamed Hillary for not focusing on.
Instead, he canceled days ago because he had ‘family commitments’.
Now we see that those commitments included the important task of playing golf.
This is the second time this year he’s canceled events speaking to black groups in New Orleans - the first being Tavis Smiley’s State Of The Black Union.
Sounds like Mr Issues doesn’t really want to discuss anything and no longer needs to pander to a certain group anymore.
Anyone shocked?
Not me.
He hasn’t even been elected - and already he’s breaking campaign promises.
Doesn’t one normally wait to be elected President before they arrogantly begin breaking campaign promises?
No I am not shocked. Why is everyone missing the point herResearch has show that Barack Hussein Obama is most probably NOT an African American but a Arab American. His father was classified as Arab African. He has three Arabic names. The Arabs call him “the Face” He has Arab support. He already has black people conned. He doesn’t need them because he already has them hooked. Now he needs to try and appeal to white men, thus the golf. We have seen bowling, basketball. He is a regular, empty suit. Trying to be what will further his agenda to implement his regime.
How any black who has studied the roots of slavery, could vote for Obama is mind boggling.
THE TAPE and Larry have been the subject of at least 2 op ed’s at the AOL PM. They are so in love with Obama that their eyes are brown.
Here’s a link for Obama not appearing–since the primary is over he feels he doesn’t have to (and Clinton would not be threre as well). But, there is a pattern here….
http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/06/obama_not_addressing_black_may.html
I keep hoping he’ll decide he needs to spend lots more time with his family, and turn the nomination over to Sen. Clinton.
Hey, a voter can hope, right?
Why is there even a National Conference of Black Mayors? Blacks are always wanting things to be equal.
I find it so funny that there can be Black Awards, Colleges, etc., but if Whites did that, the blacks would be filing racial law sues.
PLS -SEND thank you post cards to –HILLARY CLINTON
THE HONORABLE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
UNITED STATES SENATE
476 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON
DC 20510-3202
PASS THE MESSAGE ON –
And I own Obama’s mind, and soul.
Now fuck off.
You care to back that crap up with a viable link or are you talking out of your Obama-lovin-ass?
“Charges” characterized as a “treasonous liaison” whatever that means, followed by an accusation he “ratted out” someone “to avoid prison.”
Charges do not equal guilt. The ratting out part would be hard to prove and “We also know” is not proof.
I don’t see any PDF file either. All I see is hot air.
You remind me of “tootsky” who claimed the Southern Poverty Law Center was going after Larry for the alleged racism on this blog. That was a couple of weeks ago and I see no sign of any legal action.
I never said they were going “after” this blog….I said that prompted by language used by commenters - and some bloggers - here, there would be a file created and if need be, a report made . I do know that they are producing a report on racism in the presidential primaries, particularly among HRC surrogates.
hey bud, look in the mirror. who do you think is planning riots in Denver? The police there know, and it’s not HRC supporters.
yes you did. i read it. you are a liar!
Shameful they won’t address one of the other causes of Poverty that was rampant in this campaign, and in not doing so they clearly show that it is a more ubiquitous problem. The sexism across this blog by those who hate, not just dislike or disagree with, but hate Hillary Clinton were stewed in a vat of mysogynistic hatred that either they don’t realize is sexism, or simply dismiss it out of confusion with their other hatred.
I didn’t hate Obama when I asked questions early on. I said, ‘wow that would be something worth finding out about’. Then I watched the koolaid drinkers go off and refuse to let you ask the question as if you where questioning the existence of Auschwitz!
I don’t care what report is rendered about “HRC surrogates” because it will be bogus anyway. The more dominiant ISM of this campaign was SEXISM pure and simple.
There were things said about both Clinton and women all along that demonstrated it, and it wasn’t simply by Obama surrogates, as a report might want to examine, but Sweetie, Obama himself engaged in it several times because he has that patronizing sexism in much of what he says about Clinton’s acheivements and merits, sweetie.
Now, I don’t believe Obama is much different than most men who are still struggling to understand what the ‘equal rights’ for women must look like. It is not unlike watching white folks figure out what reparations really means, and it doesn’t mean cut a check.
To Conclude: Reparations in two communities are due in our time, but what does the word mean? Reparations: The Action of Repairing.
Because to some shallow minded people it simply means getting and giving a check. Wrong, because giving a check, as shown by the Welfare system, didn’t mean shit!
Did it mean give an advancement to those who were told to be at the back of the line?
Partially, but it also allowed exploitation of guilt to let people forward who in a non-racial or sexist society hadn’t shown the skills or accumen to handle task.
With Sexism, Racism, and Classism, still operating the subconcious behavior of the United States, these conflicts will continue on. It is a good thing that Racism is very exposed, and I hope we can see the same for Sexism soon because it is older and more deeply seeded. Remember, black folks got the right to vote before women. And then white women were allowed vote before black women. If you give a shit about either, then give a shit about both.
I’m not here to be lectured by the Obama supporters and I’m not a member of a party. I already know what I want to learn about Clinton because I’ve paid attention to them for a long time. I will continue to ask about Obama, and should something appear that others might want to see, I will post it, broadcast it wide and let you guys figure it out.
Larry Johnson has done you a service here by vetting what the handlers wouldn’t. You love him when it suits you and blame him for your shortcomings when your expectations aren’t met. I’m glad many of you were never intelligence experts.
Have you sent that treatment to Fox? They might be able to revive Prison Break with it next season.
I’ve heard these charges also, and from a completely unrelated source. I’ve talked to two good friends who have talked directly to people who are intimate witha small group of people who have seen the statutory rape complaint. Wow, Larry, I used to have respect for you, but, just over the last week, you may have become the biggest loser of all-time.
You’re crossing the line into the actionable, little man.
It’s time you asked your mommy if she’s willing to pay for your attorney.
Don’t be messin’ with the U.S. Mail.
I just found this blog for the first time. There is a lot of negativity here. Enjoy yourselves.
Looks like satire to me.
Dear Troll ProudLiberal, thank you for your comment. Your comments are important to us, as they will help elect John McCain President. We look forward to hearing from you again. Best regards. McCain ‘08, Clinton ‘12, Obama never.
Messy Marcy, let me get this right… you are going to vote for/support John McSame? The man who CHUCKLED when one of his supporters asked how he was gonna “beat the bitch” (referring to Clinton)? The man who calls his wife a c_nt?
Wow, are you ever liberated! Way to show your support of Hillary supporting a misogynist member of the Republican party! As women we’ve come far, but we obviously have much further to go to educate our gender about true support.
Dear Troll, thank you for your comment. Your comments are important to us, as they will help elect John McCain President. We look forward to hearing from you again. Best regards. McCain ‘08, Clinton ‘12, Obama never.
you really are a loser, who the frick cares?
and while we’re on the subject, is this
obamabot job a minimum wage job?
is it like doing telemarketing or something?
really embarrassed for you dude…
Why don’t you identify yourself and your source. Don’t be a coward and hide behind an alias.
You want to confront Larry Johnson, do so face to face.
But then again you are an Obamaite and we know how Obama and his camp intimidate his opponents into submission.
LOL!!! Evil Obotroll.
Why are the Obotrolls taking server space here in our Hillary land?
Hi Obambi fan,
We will bomb Iran soon before Bush’s term ends so we can reinforce the Mac landslide over Obambi!
This way he wouldn’t have to back track like he did over the “undivided Jerusalem” comment since he won’t have Ahmaddinejad to talk to, LOL.
PLEASE leave this post up for more than a day or so, or at least allow continuing threads. Too many people need to see this for it to get bumped down for a new submission.
As usual, thanks again Larry and I appreciate all you have put on the line to tell us what you do know and what you can tell.
I have never found your statements inconsistent because I actually read what you write.
I have never found your statements inconsistent because I actually read what you write.
Same here. You go, Larry!
Same and same here, Larry!
PLS PLS ALSO BLOG AT HILLARY SITE –too .
everyone –
pls lets give her 3,000 comments at least
I believe you Larry. I also now fear for you because of the contempt the OBOTS are trying to rain down on you.
I agree with you about not voting for either D or R
not sure about Bar but I’m pretty sure I’ll be writing in HILLARY as it’s legal in NC. (which no doubt belongs to McKook)
what a clusterf#
:-/
I wouldn’t worry to much about the wrath of the O’Bots.
If we’ve learned anything from this debacle, it is that Team Obama is mainly the same class of blowhard keyboard warriors that spent the last seven years crowing about the glorious exploits of their war hero George Dubya.
None of them, not one, got out from behind their fatboy keyboards, put their fatboy money where their fatboy mouse was, went to Iraq, and got their fat asses shot at.
B Co 1Bn 12th Inf - Viet Nam
I voted for Obama - and - I am not fat (not that it matters to reasonable people)
LOL!!!
32nd AAMDC - Iraq
I voted for Hillary so what is your point?
At this stage, I will also be writing in Hillary for president.
And after carefully reading more about this Michelle Obama situation, it is starting to sound to me like there may be at least 2 tapes, one perhaps in 2004 and another later, with the second referencing Katrina (which occurred in 2005).
The Republican op machine was able to change John Kerry from a war hero to a war coward, and Max Cleland into a traitor, when he left 3 limbs on the battlefield.
This one is going to be ridiculously easy for them, I’m afraid.
you know Max is one of the last heroes on my list! :-((
I actually got to meet him at a rally for Kerry (God help me) in Sarasota in 04
He and Dell Sandusky. It was an honor meeting him. I wonder who he voted for………. hmmmmmmm
we all KNOW who Kerfunklerry is backing (although I can’t see why, I didn’t think Kerry was dirty to be honest, just a weak elitist type.
shows what I know
I am Hillary’s fiercest loyalist in Florida but I don’t think she would want us to write her in. She has a better chance of running in 2012 if we vote for McCain. McCain will inherit the mess Bush created.
I think all of us Hillary supporters need to come together and figure out what do in Nov. Write her in, stay home or vote for McCain.
Yes — with information as important as this I read every single word — and then reread it.
Larry has been consistent from the beginning.
However, I for one do not need to see the tape to know that Mrs. Obama is fully capable of unloading a racist rant.
It is time that everyone realize that this sort of hatred against a whole group of people is dangerous. As the wife of a President she could be put in a position of power and she could do a lot of harm.
The skin heads — white separatist can be found in the Northwest. They are also dangerous — they share some of the same attitudes as the black separatists.
The GOP has so much material to use against snObama — they might be having a hard time deciding what order to release their shockers.
Whatever — the Democrat Party is DEAD — gone.
I agree. You need only to read her Princeton Thesis and think about where she took her children to Church to know that it’s very possible.
Ah yes, the “controversial” senior thesis:
Larry,
Thank you! Love your posts as you know. I am very sad today, I will never support BO. I will vote opposite of you and vote Nader. I cannot support McCain, that clearly does not make any sense.
Keep the posts coming.
grtphoto, like you, will never support bo. but will vote mccain. not because i like mccain, but because it’s the only way to keep bo out of the white house. all of the other options, voting third party, writing in hillary, etc., just help bo. the only way to keep bo out of the white house is for mccain to have more votes.
we should have a better choice than mccain or bo. but we don’t. all the other names simply won’t win.
and if it’s between mccain and bo, it HAS to be mccain.
jmho.
I hear what you are saying, but you don’t think that any 3rd party will take votes away? I just cannot vote McCain. I think BO will screw up all by himself anyway. No 3rd party “spoilers” can do what he is capable of doing. IMHO.
i do understand and have no quarrel with those who just can’t vote mccain. (do have a HUGE quarrel with those who vote bo!)
re third party vote - it does take away a vote that bo was counting on. but it doesn’t add to the number of votes that bo has to get. the only way to do that is vote for mccain.
example - if there are 10 voters and 4 vote bo and 3 vote mccain and 2 stay home and 1 writes in hillary, bo wins. if the 3 who stayed home or wrote in hillary would rather have mccain than bo, and they vote for mccain, mccain has 6 votes and bo has 4 and mccain wins.
i think bo is counting on those of us who don’t want him staying home or voting third party. he’s counting on just that kind of math getting him elected.
again, jmho, and i respect your opinion.
Thanks for the clarification. All I know for sure come Nov. I will note for him. I really think that smarmy SOB can win w/o Hillary folks. His arrogance is so astounding. This is why I have permanently left the party. Cannot support DNC at all.
whoops, THINKS HE CAN W/O US.
Yeah we got it!
What these Obamatrons and Axelrod orcs don’t get is that liking Hill and being totally disgusted with Barry are two separate unrelated things. They think it’s a baseball game and you root for one team or the other. They’re so stupid.
They also think we’re nothing but a marketing problem.
They plan to assault us with “message.”
And from this, they will create their own intelligence unit, just like Cheney.
IMO, it depends on the state where you live. I live in a big blue state that should go Democratic. However, I’m of the mind that McCain just might be competitive here, so I will pay attention to the polls and the word on the street.
If McCain is at all competitive here, I will vote for him. No, I don’t like him, but I think the war is going to resolve if for no other reason than $$$$ and the economy. McCain knows this. He can’t say that out loud because he’s on shaky ground with his Party as it is, but I really think if he becomes President, he will sell the idea that for reasons of the Economy we have to move in a different direction. And certainly, the signs are already showing that the Economy is drifting in this direction.
Again, everyone must follow their conscience. I’m not going to do what Obama and his campaign have done, try to take away anyone’s right to choose. My situation at the moment is simple. Obama should be able to win my state without me. But if he can’t, then that only affirms what we already know, HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE NOMINEE. And I will vote McCain just to drive that point home.
Mimi, I like your point, he should try to win a state w/o us, exactly. I live in AZ, I am assuming will go McCain, we voted Hill in the primary. I don’t want to take away anyone’s vote either. We each have to do what is good for us. If the rumors are true, that BO said he is not going to try to woo us then let him go it alone; on his own bone fides (or lack thereof). Lets see where the chips fall…
On thing’s for sure: the SDs who are supposed to prevent a McGovern disaster - it ain’t working. They get bullied and that destroys the whole thing. Hill? You go to Denver. You take the nomination from this bastard. You start planning to move into 1600. We love you.
I totally agree, go to Denver, I fear though that she is not. Her speech today was incredible, it made me sad for what could be…don’t look back she says, look forward; I sure am!
I must say honestly that I was not a Hillary supporer prior to the primary process. I thought Bill was a great president, however, and thought that his presence would be the key.
But what Hillary showed me in terms of, knowledge, command of the facts, fight, determination, and in the end, a hugely winning campaign style won me over like no candidate in my memory.
And as a man, I couldn’t be more proud of a presidential candidate. I can only imagine how women feel, at this stage.
I was not for Hillary at the stat, being an Edwards supporter. But she convinced me that she would most likely be an excellent president.
Obama hasn’t shown me a damned thing about whether he can lead our country. A few pretty speeches and a slick campaign just don’t make it.
Oh, and just for the record, Hillary’s speeches are better.
I’m awful proud today,too. As a woman, it’s pretty intense. LOL*
She sure brought the feelings right up to the surface.
I live in a purple state, Wisconsin, and will hold my nose and vote for McCain. I will hate it and it will make me sick to my stomach to do it but I believe that allowing the Obamacrats to continue their takeover of the Democratic Party is far more dangerous than McCain.
If McCain wins, then it’s up to the spineless Democrats to rein him in. If they don’t or won’t then they are useless anyway. Like they’ve been since 2006.
No kidding.
BTW, Al Franken is running for the senate in your neighboring state, Minnesota. I think he’d be a good senator. Anyway, I’ve donated to his campaign. He needs money.
Al ran a good radio Air America show. He shut up and let his guests and experts talk. That’s more than 99% of the airheads hosting the airwaves are able to do.
And that’s why I think he’d be a good senator.
Sorry about the rant.
Marge, you make some excellent points.
I am totally disappointed in the rest of the democratic party at this stage. They have caved in to a weak president consistently since taking over in 2006.
And now they have caved in again.
Seriously, what we need in this country is a 3rd, 4th, and 5th party; Nader has always been right on this point, that is, that we must break the chains of hold that two parties have on us.
vote for a 3rd party that takes votes away from Obama. That would be the green party, independent, or republican candidate McCain.
A vote for Barr helps McCain. A vote for Nader helps Obama. A vote for the green party takes votes away from Obama.
I live in red state that will never go Obama, and that does not recognize the green party. I guess I might be lucky here, I don’t have to vote for McCain. But swing state voters–chose the party that will take votes away from Obama, make sure “anybody but Obama” wins.
Okay, I’m confused. How is a vote for the Independent Party helps Obama? Because i am one of the 18 million. I’m not voting for Obama. I was planning on voting Independent.
Okay, so there are now two Nicole’s commenting on this site–you and me.
I’ve been here a long time.
Bully for you.
I think voting Independent hurts OBama, actually. sorry for the mixup.
I’m in Massachusetts which has never been a swing state, always reliably democratic, but polls have shown Obama losing here against McCain. Agreed, anyone but Obama. I will vote McCain. Got on his mailing list today, looking forward to seeing his dirt on Obama. And made a small donation for symbolic purposes. My significant donations will still go to Hillary.
Right you are. A vote for McCain is like voting against BO twice. Makes up for the MI/FL half votes.
It’s called the lesser of two evils, you have two choices, Barr or write-ins are just a wasted vote. At least McCain doesn’t hate AMERICA.
The non-denial denial from Obama’s own mouth is enough to raise high the red flag in my view.
Non-denial denials are made for a reason.
-
totally agree, why defend something that doesn’t exist? pathetic!
Non-denial denials are made for a reason.
Yes. So they can be denied.
This is gonna be a torture test of Obama’s faithful’s faith.
Cognitive Dissonance Out the Wazoo.
I believe Obama’s most fanatical supporters will just deny it or attack the messenger. It won’t bother them.
His more intelligent, conscientious supporters who care about this country are in for some major “buyer’s remorse.”
Too bad most of this stuff about the Obamas didn’t come out in time for many voters to make more informed decisions.
When the tape/DVD does get released, I hope you put out the news and video with the headline “I TOLD YOU SO!”
Give it up. You have zero evidence and zero credibility.
Then why are you here?
To proclaim his love for America’s first Affirmative Action presidential nominee, perhaps?
Get a motel, pervert.
And you have zero penis.
Hear say! People wake up. Larry never wanted Hillary for Pres. You are being played. He is and always has been a republican. This has been his goal all along. The repugs wanted to run against Hillary becdause McSame may have a chance against her. They will never beat Obama.
Be careful while playing in the same sandbox with some of these people.
I can’t imagine voting for either McCain or Obama. Both of them would be bad for American. I can’t support McCain’s bad policies. I can’t support Obama because we’ve had enough of presidents that need training wheels with specious associates. Plus this wasn’t a primary (sic) season, this was a prolonged poorly weighted DNC beauty contest. What is it about this two party system that continually brings us the worst of all worlds these days?
I want to work extremely hard for a viable third party that contains the country’s great middle. Maybe we can work here to form one. I voted for John Anderson in my very first presidential election. I’m hoping there is some one of similar ilk out there.
try the greens.
Yeah the arugula. The greens eaten by Italian peasants for centuries. One step up from dandelions. The only thing that joker succeeded in doing was raise the price of cheap greens.
very funny! and agreed. but seriously, I was thinking that voting for the greens would be a vote taken away from Obama…i.e., if people can’t stomach McCain, or can’t not vote or write in, maybe the greens.
but agreed, that idiot and arugula.
A third party candidate will only become viable after they have candidates for local, state and congressional offices as well. Once they have been elected and made a reputation for their party it will become possible for a presidential candidate from their party to be taken seriously.
I am with you, the two parties we have are like Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee. They do not represent the people.
The Independence Party did that. Then they fell into the same corrupt cesspool. so close, and foiled by greed once again.
Larry:
I do not doubt there is a tape.
I wouldn’t want it released in June anyway.
If any Hillary supporter has it — they’d be wise to wait till just before the Denver Convention to release it.
However, Michelle is the weak link — she can’t be hidden away forever.
Evem though a report today reveals they are assigning special handlers to keep Michelle in check.
Michelle will be on The View June 18th.
I doubt she will be able to keep her decades-long ‘angry Black Woman’ routine in check.
Stay tuned.
I love the fact that the Trolls are going to have their Knickers in a knot all summer waiting to see if the tape is real.
It’s the same as with Bush, can’t you see it now?
Every fart out of that brain, and the same old people will be trolling, spewing and selling the same old way, just like the last eight years, and the four before that, with Clinton.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a smart person in charge?
Eight more years of this troll tripe, until they finally die off, if Clinton doesn’t secure the nomination, somehow.
Even if she does.
It’s like an army of Amway salesman, all over the Internet, constantly pitching you stale corn chips.
That would include two of my best friends from high school, and my Indian next door neightbor: “Have you ever heard of Amway? You can make a fortune, you know, their prices are quite reasonable,” as they try to sell you a bottle of floor cleaner for $10.00.
Whew!
I live in California, a state that willl go Dem any way. I will still vote for Mccain just to tell the Dem Party what an A_SS they been. I am independent and had never voted for Rep for President, this will be a first. I had a different take on your comment on Amway. I tryed in the 90s and took in about 100 people into the business. The only problem is that over 80% of them are like Obama supporters who want me to do all the presentations and uplifting. They can’t think or take initiative on their own. They are always excited after the speech I made, but never atually go out their to do anything, or try to turely understand the concept. I end up giving it up after I realized I can spend my time and energy elsewhere to help myself and my family instead of helping people who are too lazy to help themself. That help me got out of the low in-come group and became financialy independent. If these same people who can’t see that we need Hillary in our current situation, then they should pay the price in the next for years. I can weather that, and will have not hting to do with another 4 years of Bush if Obama is ever elected.
the trolls are running amuck on talk left today. they are trying the same routine voter troll does. be oh so nick(they think) and say things like isn’t it a shame some people were sexist but not the good senator. and yes there was racism too. we can’t let mccain get in the wh, so get in line. smirk! they think they are very smart all the while they are being major assex.
She wants a piece of your “pie”.
I understand she was initially invited as a guest and immediately complained that if John McCain’s wife could be a host on The View then so should she. So there you are - The complicit Barry supporters of The View (except elizabeth - the only intelligent one left) will have Michelle as co host. I don’t watch that show anymore but perhaps I will tape it just to see if Michelle can keep her rants within discretion this time. Oh course they do have that delay button….
Have enjoyed reading your columns Larry - thank God for some responsible investigative journalism - you put yourself out there so you expect and get the hate - Just think, it is less than 1% of the Hate Hillary gets from the Obama campaign supporters.
Seems to me Obama attracts a very solid group of supporters with inner turmoil and outward hate for any non Kool-aid drinkers. They should google Jim Jones - don’t fall into that trap.
Meantime this summer is going to be interesting.
Elizabeth in not intelligent. Just needed to get that out there.
Carry on.
Maybe not but hopefully she can provoke Michelle enough to say something stupid…MO has very little self-restraint…Thank God! LOL
I’ve always believed that wife of his will be his Achilles heel
Smart enough to get a decent-paying gig with lots of exposure…
“immediately complained” - sounds like michelle, all right.
It gets pretty bad when Elizbeth on the View is more intelligent, Ann Coulter writes an aricle
supporting Hillary and you would rather listen
to Sean Hannity on the radio then Ed Schultz…
or Fox News over MSNBC - don’t think this is the Unity Obama was looking for, do you?
I do all these things now and pigs fly over this once democratic house daily…Sean is my new best friend …Unity my ass
I swear it’s like living in another dimension and it’s freaking the LOGICAL people all to hell!!!
your mistake is actually thinking obama wants unity.
Michelle will be on The View June 18th.
Woo-hoo.
Larry you are a true patriot.
Obama is such a fraud.
Instead of Bob Barr– why not write-in Hillary?
If you write-in Hillary - your vote may go to BO.
Write in votes are handled differently by each state. Depends on the rules of your state - but some count a write in Dem as a vote for the Dem on the ballot.
A lot of states limit or do not allow write-ins.
and a vote for bob barr may help obama because it takes votes away for mccain. Vote green–that will take votes away from obama.
Yeah, I agree.
Besides Bob Barr is the pits; that guy is truly disgusting; another fascist.
Please Larry; reconsider…. there must be some other alternative….
Yep. The guy that lead the Impeachment against Bill Clinton. “The rule of law!” “The rule of law!” “The rule of law!” “The rule of law!”
And then he lost his reelection campaign after Larry Flynt exposed an affair HE himself had had..:) Just another hypocrite among many in DC.
“… but I have spoken to two of my friends who are friends with those who watched the tape/dvd.”
Last month, Larry, you claimed to have FOUR sources on the existence of the tape.
When this so-called tape never comes to light… how will you make amends to Obama? And how will you repair your reputation?
Of course she said this. He was surprised Reverend Wright was a political risk. I am surprised they are nervous about this tape.
Kind of hard to imagine sweet Michelle saying such a thing, isn’t it?
Yeah really. She’s such a kind self-effacing generous person. Really spreads the love. LMAO
Larry, I live in a blue state. If it’s close I’ll vote for McCain but if it’s sure to be Obama, I’ll write in Hillary.
I don’t like Bob Barr because of his criticism of Bill Clinton.
I do hope you keep this site as an “Emperor has no clothes” site at least through November and don’t try to equally attack McCain and Obama. It’s your site, and I respect you, and you can choose your path, but I am voting for McCain because I want Obama to lose.
wry, please check with your board of elections and ask them how they disposition Write Ins. You wouldn’t want to find out Obama got the vote anyhow. God knows he’s taken enough he didn’t earn in Michigan.
http://www.writehillaryin.com/
You can look up your State to see if the State allows Write In’s. The site is doing more research on how best to proceed with the Write In’s.
Yes we will. I won’t be advocating for Barr.
LJ
How can your friends (sources) have seen the reaction of people watching the tape without seeing the tape?
Also the other day you said you had five sources that had seen the tape and didn’t know each other. If the McCain campaign is the only one to have this tape, how can there be 5 people who don’t know each other that have seen it?
Don’t let the turkeys get you down Larry… they’ll all be gone by Thanksgiving!! You’re still my Hero!
HopeForHillary ‘08
Why Does the Michelle Obama Tape Rumor Match a 2006 Novel?
Troll link that will never be clicked.
What, afraid of a little truth? Let’s face it, Larry’s urban legend has been debunked every which way but loose - and by folks who are otherwise completely hostile to an Obama candidacy. How about focusing on the warmongering of McCain, Clinton, and Obama?
This “news” on the tape is nothing more than a rehashing of what was already written in the past. This is nothing.
That’s an opinion.
Given that the “whitey tape” story has so many holes in it, I’d say if you want to call it opinion, it’s informed opinion. Asking me to accept on faith claims based on tertiary sources is simply not acceptable. Why not actually focus on something real, like the candidates’ issues?
Really, it was debunked? Then why do their closing arguments against Larry, are in fact what he has been saying all along?
Larry has consistantly stated there are more reasons to vote against Obama than this tape. That we should not expect this tape to help Hillary since it will probably be released in October.
Read below….
“Because those who prefer a president besides Obama should not go through the summer and fall convinced that a magic-bullet devastating tape is going to appear as an October surprise to save the day.
Also, there are a lot of good reasons to vote against Barack Obama; but what people claim Michelle Obama says on a tape that no one can produce and no one has seen isn’t one of them.”
No matter how you spin it, that article closes by reiterating his actual statements concerning the tape.
Try again….
Then why keep harping on an alleged tape that doesn’t seem to exist? Why not actually focus on those issues? If y’all want to keep on chasing rainbows go right ahead, but still, Johnson and crew are now laughingtocks.
Yeah you know it all, young man.
Hey - you begin high school in the autumn, don’t you? You must be getting excited about it!
In the Nineteenth Century, Jules Verne and H.G Wells wrote novels about trips to the Moon. By your logic, the real Moon landings couldn’t have occurred since a similar event occurred in a book.
Because it’s in the book?
Like Moondoggled!
You did not address the fact that nearly everything you’ve described of this tape is remarkably similar to a novel that came out in 2006 by Stephen Frey called the “Power Broker”. In fact Ben Smith even directs us to a conservative website that points it out (why didn’t you link to that comment I wonder…).
I dunno Larry, the plotline in the book is about a video that has a young African American running for President calling someone ‘Whitey’, and certain nefarious people planning to expose it when the time is right.
So either this guy Stephen Frey should be making a living as a psychic or you are being played. As an analyst (or former analyst) I’m sure you are familiar with the premise of Occam’s Razor, which state sthat usually the simplest answer is the right one.
It looks to us like you got played
He directed you to National Review. I find it more than amusing that you Obama people get your dander all up when we discuss FOX, but here you are checking out the National Review.
Know your enemy. I have no problem with reading conservative sites. So you have a problem with facts as they are laid out or are you denying the existence of this book?
Would that be like when Barky discussed in his book how he saw a photo of a black man in ebony magazine who was looking at himself in the mirror in horror because he had tried to remove his color with chemicals……..and it just happened to match up exactly with the pubicity shot of the book Black Like Me? The story where a white guy used chemicals to appear black?
You know…….barry’s “epiphany” picture?
The differences between Frey’s book and the Michelle allegations are far more profound than in the case of previous literary coincidences. On my site, I talk about the strange case of “Black Abductor,” which strangely predicted the Patty Hearst kidnapping — in astonishing detail — before it happened.
You dont get it, but it’s really funny.
Maybe the writer was there at the event and that gave the idea for a book.
Aaron Sorkin had a plot line remarkably similar to Barry’s campaign. Wonder how that happened. Maybe the whole Barry campaign is just made up and we’ll wake up out of this fucking nightmare tomorrow. Haha.
I wake in the morning thinking, this can’t be happening can it? I feel like I’m through the looking glass.
well let’s see
if the tape was made prior to 2006 then the book would have been based on a tangible REAL tape and your theory doesn’t hold water.
so….nice try now go take our the garbage kid
I would give anything have Hillary back. I would do anything (short of illegal stuff) to get some sense into the super delegates’ heads.
I have written hundreds if not thousands of emails and faxes and called again and again. As for the Party, the answers they gave me angered me more. The coldness in their voice and responses could freeze lake Michigan in mid summer.
We should call for the party leadership to resign and reorganize our Party’s voting system. It gives too much room for corruption. As we can see in this election.
First, the party gets taken back from the radical fringe, just like the last time. You do that by voting. The rest will fall into place. The party will be marginalized….again, until a Moderate rescues it and wins again. It’s been two presidents in 40 years. Only one was a two termer because he was a moderate with left leanings. Now it will be 44 years.
Bill Clinton is the only two termer Dem in 60 years.
This will be Reagan’s demographic all over again,
but without the Philadelphia , Mississippi kickoff speech.
An ugly, unholy alliance.
Well… whatever works.
i heard bill clinton speak today on the behavior of the media and others. he was right on and said the degree of behavior is unprecedented. as to how i vote? won’t much matter, i am in a red state. but i’ll look into alterative votes that won’t help obama.
The Obama campaign contiunues to run scared.
Thanks, No Quarter. They work hard to shut you down.
Larry has been through this before. He is 1000 times tougher than any anonymous coward trolls.
You know, when the GE is over, we will be able to look back and sum up Obama’s political fate by just using titles to Roy Orbison songs.
His campaign — Running Scared
His unbelievably humiliating and embarrassing defeat by McCain this fall — Crying
His ostracism by the same party elites who have used him to try to destroy the Clintons but will consign him to political Siberia after his loss — Only the Lonely
What Michelle will do to him after he loses and she doesn’t get to be First Lady — Mean Woman Blues.
The Tape is real, Gulliani’s research team dug it up.
Hannity has one too.
Neither are necessary to destroy Obama.
His minnions will do that by demanding Hillary supporters vote for him.
By calling Hillary supporters names, and being more nasty than a biblical plague, they turn away all hope of unity. They seem to be particullary gleeful about doing this.
The Illinois Combine has swallowed up Dean, Pelosi, and many republicans too.
For me the matter is simple.
The DNC screwed with people’s votes. Making some up as they went, and out right stealing others.
Note to the DNC:
Prepare for obliteration next November, it’s not even gonna be close.
Oh and the next time you attempt to take away something that belongs to me.
You better bring an Army, not an empty suit!
Evidence or hearsay? Why would you be satisfied with the latter?
BluDawg, I like your style, it’s No Quarter style!
there was a line on yahoo today that dean keeps his job. yeah right till november dr dean. howard played nice with the wrong side. he sided against the will of the american people. well the democrats can hang on to the losers ie brazile, dean, daschle, kerry, strum, and soon to be axelrod. however they will keep losing and losing. what they have done is afforded the republicans a route back into power which they will take. heck of a job!
The popcorn concession stand is now open.
Yippee I`m first in line.
Large, medium or small? Butter?
Medium with Troll butter please
LOL!
can,t wait when this tape comes to light i,m going to eat me some trolls and spit them out
Trolls, like green apples, are good for constipation.
I live in Florida.
Obama will lose Florida no matter how I vote.
I’ll write in Hillary’s name (yes - Florida has a write in spot on the ballot).
I will also vote against any DEM on the down ticket who had a SuperDel vote that went to Obama.
My husband will vote McCain. So will my Mom.
That’s three votes. Oh — FYI. There are no Obama lawn signs in my town. Not. One.
My state, California, also has a write in spot, BUT…the vote will only count if my candidate registers. So if Hillary doesn’t register, my vote may a. not count or b. Worse, count for Obama. Check with Florida’s rules and make sure your vote goes the way you want it to this time.
I’m so sorry the DNC RBC shafted you. I’m behind you all the way.
Hugs to you Susan. I had a family winter home there for decades up till a few years ago. Everyone I know in Florida is absolutely incensed.
I will also vote against any DEM on the down ticket who had a SuperDel vote that went to Obama.
Good one. Now if they can only get wind of this before Denver.
“I will also vote against any DEM on the down ticket who had a SuperDel vote that went to Obama.”
BRAVO! I intend to do the same!
ditto.
and i’m in texas, where we’ll be red for sure. but the obama-loving down ticket dems still could have a chance.
not if i can help it.
yup, let’s start writing these obama loving dems letters asking them up front how much money did obama give them and ask them to explain themselves in a townhall meeting. why didn’t they speak up for a end to the sexism and statements made not only by the media but her fellow democrats. explanations due or no votes.
I am in Florida. I won’t write Hillary’s name. I want to make sure that the DNC is punished for stealing votes and delegates.
I am voting McCain. I will never vote for that radical arrogant anti-American.
Thank you Larry for this great site and all of your hard work. You speak truth to power and you tell it like it is. No B.S. That in istself makes you a true patriot.
It’s good to see you “double down.” You will either clear the table with your big bet or you’ll go bust. I suppose you know that your entire reputation is riding on this. You’re a bigger man than me. I’d never stake my life on something I had not seen on the word of anyone else.
I hold to my position that there is no tape. On that we’ll simply disagree. Only time will tell. You stand to lose a lot my friend. I hope it’s worth it.
And by the way, I know Bob Barr– and very well. He isn’t worth a trip to the voting booth.
and barack is? No sale.
I hold to my position that there is no tape.
Based on what?
PS. Don’t worry about Larry. He’s doing fine. Worry about your candidate instead.
You are bona fide freaking insane.
Swear to christ, you are so not well.
Now you’re comparing your crazy ass shite to you being in the CIA?
Now wonder they got rid of you. You’re mentally damaged good.
Holy crap - get help you freak show.
And you even post a friend of a friend again..man. Your are one twisted, deranged scumbag.
you know what? maybe next time you could use even more name calling, it really promotes a high level of legitimacy for your candidate!
You need to be a little careful when you copy into online translating there in Gaza dude, sometimes it just isn’t English when you do it literally. Cuts down on the impact of the garbage you post.
Man, that one was weird.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the first exhibit in the Chosen Thug display. Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?
Anxiety will kill you, you know. Type A personality?
Type A, Grade B.
Jon, you sound a little unhinged, a little angry.
Calm down.
JON>>>as Bill Clinton said; “chill out” Obama never came clean, how can He, with His dirty bodies, annd dirty pass, with his statements” I didnt know, I didn’t see, I dint this, I didn’t that Lies after lies, and His supporterrs must be just like HIM….
Then why do you bother getting upset and commenting?
If there’s nothing on Obama then there’s no reason for his Orcs to worry, right?
But even Obamabots are gradually realizing that while other politicians may have skeletons in their closets, Obama has whole cemetaries! And yes he will be exposed this summer.
Well spoken! LMAO
That’s the spirit! Now go talk to the other trolls and tell them to be more like you. How are we going to get people to vote for McCain with all this wimpy whiny talk like oh, please, vote for Obama. You guys need to show your true character, as you have. Good job! Keep it up!
McCain ‘08, Hillary ‘12, Obama never.
I was at http://HCSFJM.COM earlier this morning and they are also discussing the tape. Ed states that he has heard 2 minutes of this tape over the phone and Michelle goes on about Bill. She calls Bill every bad name there is and called Hillary a Ho. He states that the DVD is over 30 minutes long and it had been edited. Ed’s comments on what I wrote here are in red under the “Latest Comments.” Ed got a comment from someone that warned him that people have disappeared for less than what he is alleging. He said he would comment again to Ed again later.
We already know that his surrogates call names, remember randi rhodes? why is this such a mystery to folks, oh i see if it’s a Clinton it must be the truth but if barry and co. say it it is a lie.
that guy Ed is crazy.
If that’s true, how will it look if Hillary is asked to be VP?
Funny, I’m telling you, too f’ing funny.
But it could also run a defense, with the Clinton’s saying the tape doesn’t matter.
Actually the tape doesn’t matter to me — it’s just like the whipped cream and cherry on top of the sundae of many reasons not to vote for Obama.
Letter: Barack Obama: America should take off the blinders before it’s too late
By TCPalm Staff
Saturday, June 7, 2008
I believe in equality for all people. That being said, I believe Sen. Barack Obama is a racist, inexperienced and, at best, has poor judgment. He had 20 years to decide if he agreed with his church’s message. It is the blatant, anti-white, anti-American diatribe spewed by his preachers that the voters in the exit polls were referring to when they stated, “racism played a part in their vote.”
I heard a black man state that black people cannot be racist because of their plight in life at the hands of whites. This must be a new rule made up by politicians. The suggestion that black people cannot be racist is absolutely absurd!
United Trinity Church of Christ has received federal funds from the government, thanks to Sen. Obama. Then its preachers have the audacity to denigrate America while the congregation claps and cheers! When asked about this, Rev. Jeremiah Wright said he took the money because white America owes it to the blacks. None of my ancestors had slaves. I, therefore, refuse to accept guilt that I have not earned.
The performances seen on television have shaped my opinion. His church thought so much of those performances it recorded, printed and sold them. Political-correctness gurus have decided that any opinion expressed by a white person who questions Obama constitutes racism. Americans had better take off the blinders before it’s too late and see Obama for what he truly is.
Remember: He resigned from his church to protect the church, not because he denounced his preacher’s behavior! Any church so closely aligned with Minister Louis Farrakhan gives me cause to worry. Rev. Wright and Father Michael Pfleger have ignited a racial tension not felt in America for many years.
Drema Molloy
What a good letter.
Right on!! Excellent letter. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know where this appeared?
I heard a black man state that black people cannot be racist because of their plight in life at the hands of whites. This must be a new rule made up by politicians.
No. It’s a rule made up by blacks.
Jeez Larry give it up please . . . its embarassing. Reminds me why I always check to see if there’s a paper trail behind me when I leave the bathroom. Every time I brush the back of my pants, for the past 20 years, there’s been nothing there. But I keep checking, because it sure would be embarrassing to be trailing TP, sorta why I keep coming back here, just to see your latest TAPE report . . . BTW http://www.jvim.com/ says JC will beat the TAPE back hands down.
ha ha ha ha! You say its embarassing, credibilit, a lie, and then you say the tape will be beaten hands down!!
roflmao!
Have fun now, because when you are hit with this it will be way too late to spin it! Like you know, one week before the election. In the meantime this is going to grow wings so fast you won’t know what hit you. Not just legs, but wings, man.
roflmao! what poetic justice!
I think the trolls feed so much, they lose touch with reality.
So you let them roll with it, until reality punches them in the nose, again, and again.
Despite using the same tactics, and the same people, they’re losing ground, in terms of media control.
All this with the press bought out, they’re tool, for god’s sake, and they STILL had to steal the election from Clinton, the old fashioned way.
So, we’re not speaking a groundswell of intelligence here, we’re speaking numbnuts.
their tool, sorry, and they still had to steal the election, and they still lost Iraq, the people who use these methods of information control.
Well then STAY AWAY! This blog is not for you. You are not wanted here. Oh and one more thing.
WE.WILL.NOT.VOTE.FOR.OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah there ya go. More looney tunes coming out of the woodwork. And it’s stil half a year till November. LOL
Thanks, Larry. WE won’t let that Fraud get elected. And with or without the tape (which I believe exists), Michelle O is a TICKING TIME BOMB.
with or WITHOUT the TAPE??? You dare suggest it MIGHT NOT EXIST.!!?? Be gone you blashphemer. Off to the pit of never ending fire where all those who support the EVIL ONE (and WE know who HE is don’t WE (hint his initials are BHO))
He’s not evil, he’s just stupid.
OSP set the gold standard for dumb and arrogant, Obama’s group might just beat that, even more stupid, and even more arrogant.
LOL.
Sending this off to the FBI too…
I told you I would stay on top of the death threats on this site.
This is close to terroristic.
Don’t bother deleting i.

Oh, god, they’re as dumb as Bush’s team.
Hey Obama, your staff SUCKS.
Oh, god, they’re as dumb as Bush’s team.
LOL
ROFLOL!! ohhh man I’m on the floor here! stop doin that I’m old
Hahahaha! Obamabots don’t even know the difference between legitimate freedom of speech and a genuine threat.
Oh you poor Stalinists saps. You’re the sheep Orwell was thinking of when he wrote “Animal Farm” and “1984″.
Thanks for further encouraging us to NOT vote for comrade Obama.
Ever hear the expression about people in glass houses.
Jon go back to the basement so your father won’t see the stain on the front of your pants.
What Blu Dawg wrote doesn’t even come close to the legal definition of terror. However You Bots shutting down the computers for a day in Philadelphia qualifies for 15-20 years of hard time.

Reply to this comment
you sent this to the FBI? You will be laughed out of the office! First, they will look at context. Next, they will read and comprehend the message which in no way is a threat. “better bring an army, instead of an empty suit”? Are you that obtuse that you don’t know what “empty suit” is? And that it refers to Obambi?
ps..site owner has plenty of contacts in the FBI, CIA and intelligence community, and would never under any circumstances allow any death threats to anyone, get it?
Nope. No threat there, Jon-Jon- veiled or otherwise- unless you are trying to to infer that the poster has an atom bomb to use. Jon, just calm down and breathe.
Even, “We will kill ‘em in the next election” is not a death threat.
I think Michelle’s pitbull desire to scratch out President Bill Clinton’s eyes is closer to a death threat. That could cause a lot of bleeding.
They dont even have two brains cells to use, much less an atom bomb.
We ain’t’ talking smart, here…
(golf, man, it’s just like golf…)
Aye.
What do you think all those patriot act and FISA laws entailed?
You think you’re not being monitored, Obama isn’t monitored because he’s a Senator, and the FBI will leave him alone?
You’re dreaming.
Larry please stop your lies! It’s getting embarassing. And for the love of God I don’t know how a man like you ended up working for the CIA, it speaks volumes of that agency that they’ll hire a lying rat like you. I now know why 9/11 happened. The CIA was filled with American haters and incompetent lying assholes like you. When Obama becomes president that agency must be fixed.
hey jon..want to report this one to the FBI too??? This is part of the hate america first crowd. CIA filled with American haters? Are you even an American?
and what, Obama will replace the CIA with the Nation of Islam security force?
I think Obomba will just hire the New Black Panthers. We need to bring back that image of the Panthers strolling the streets with their AK-47s. Cool- a show of strength.
I believe Bush tried this, he gave it Cheney, and called it the “OSP.”
I would suppose the CIA is still laughing…
You go Lumi! LMAO
All this time and you haven’t even talked to the people who actually saw the video. How lazy can you get??
Thanks Larry. Your role has been pivitol in both warning obama, his supporters and the DNC, but has also kind of screwed the republicans who have it….now it can’t be a complete surprise…
but, instead of spending their time alternately denying and confirming the existence of the tape, they should get to work in figuring out how to explain to America why Michelle Obama–with her hate, recent pride in America, and her degradation of women and whites, should be the First Lady of the United States. IMO, she doesn’t AT ALL. She is an angry child.
Obama should not be brought down because of his wife. She’s not running for office.
If anything brings Obama down, it should be what his advisers stand for. Those are the only associations that matter. Samantha Power has called for the next new President to “extract concessions” from allies in order to allow the US to “patrol the commons.” I think we just figured out what that extra 90,000 increase in troop strength is all about. He also has some poor economics advisors and the best way to sum up Obama’s fiscal and economic plan (what there is of it anyways) is: wrong, wrong, wrong.
It’s quite possible this tape rumour is a plant by the Obama campaign to get REAL issues out of the discussion, like his abysmal performance in the Electoral College.
That’s silly. If she said those things, we should know about it.
I’m not going to feel sorry at all when the release it.
They should have vetted him. I hope it takes a lot of them down right with him.
Yeah joe! You get him! LMAO
Hey - why are all these O-teens panicking? LOL
Thanks, Larry. WE won’t let that Fraud get elected. And with or without the tape (which I believe exists), Michelle O is a ticking timebomb just waiting to rant. It should be fairly easy to get some major gaffes out of her this summer.
The video is finally out!
I can’t wait to watch the RACIST Hussein Obama Campaign spin this one!
Troll link.
Larry,
Thanks for sticking with this story. You could be right; you could be wrong - but whichever way this turns out, this is a legitimate news story.
Verification, if it ever surfaces, that Michelle Obama has publicly ranted against white people would gravely undermine Barack Obama’s candidacy. He might be able to overcome it as Clinton was able to overcome “bimbo eruptions” and “loathing the military” but the chances approach nil. It’s one thing to say you’ll never “disown” your “crazy uncle” minister/spiritual advisor and then proceed to disown him 2 months later. It’s another thing to have your own spouse, your soulmate and the parent of your children, put you in this kind of horrible position.
Barack Obama does not harbor these racially-antagonistic attitudes; it’s ridiculous to contend he does. But the company he has kept, clearly does. First we had the good reverend - then the Catholic priest - now, who knows what. The trend-line is not looking so good.
The news story is, that with better intelligence and less mass hysteria about Obama, this could have been unearthed sooner and the looming disaster could have been avoided. This election should be a cakewalk for the Democrats with the right candidate. Obama is not that candidate. What a gawd-awful shame.
Hang in there - you’re in for nothing but abuse and maybe worse, for probably a couple of months. Then we’ll see. I’m trusting in you to continue to be as courageous with this as you have been already, whatever the cost.
very nice, Ken. I agree!
Barack Obama does not harbor these racially antagonistic attitudes; it’s ridiculous to contend he does.
But I think most people here have more ken than you do Ken. It’s not at all ridiculous to contend such things. Have you read his books? If you had you wouldn’t make such childishly naive statements.
All in good time…and timing is everything to the Republicans. That is why they have succeeded over and over. Yes, a video of Barky’s spouse spewing cracker, whitey, etc. will most likely send his campaign to the gutter in a matter of minutes. The internet is fast.
If it’s only an attack on Clinton say, and boy, they were furious about the fairy tale comment, IRRATIONAL, for whatever reason, (in addition, Clinton would not support Obama’s Congressional run in 2000), it might be mitigated if Hillary is VP, or they use her to address the issues.
She has credibility, people trust her, at least at this moment, who better to balance MO and BO’s social klutziness, their lack of grace, than Clinton?
They forget everything in pursuit of the Presidency, but the anger doesn’t go away once the objective is achieved, or lost, it flames, even more severely.
Vote for McCain……..BO didn’t want to win with votes so now, why should he get them.
Vote for McCain — it’s double the pleasure of not voting for BO, and Voting against him.
2 votes for the price of one.
____
I think Larry has done a service to this country, valiant and unrecognized so far.
The fact that Obama will “VET” the VP but doesn’t want anyone to ever know who he really is, and just show up as Prez is amazing.
He and the wife can’t even remember if she has a racist rant somewhere or not? Not fit for leadership. Or, they know darn well she did? Outrageous.
Candidates we just meet should be vetted.
I like the reasoning Larry, Vote for Barr and help Obama get elected .
Great Strategy, I’m sure now you are full of BS, and left wing nut…………
The Republicans don’t need the fake tape rumor you started to beat Obama……
Cook the books, was a left wing rumor and it’s been proved not to be true. You watch too much MSNBC and your hero Keith Olbermann, who by the way is one of the gang that helped wack Hillary.
Larry you and your kind is why I’m leaving the party, all you socialist bastards can have it……..
Hey snoopy.
This is my foot. This is for you.
Regards,
The Zohan
Larry you’ve been exposed as a fucking liar. Give it a fucking rest already. You sound like a fucking dumb child: I heard it from two people who heard two other people tell them the tape exists.(That’s how you fucking sound Larry)
You have zero, zilch of a credibility you scum bag. Suck on it.
lumi your a stupid fucking kid, now go wash out your mouth, seeings your mother never did it.
If you don’t like what Larry writes, then get the hell out of here.
Lumi,
Even if you didn’t like it - you can still get the fuck out.
Where are the mods? We need our CDC back! Please!
Isn’t or wasn’t the tape publically available? Weren’t there people there at the time Michelle supposedly said these things?
This surely would have been reported on by IL conservatives who were trying to bring Obama down in 2004.
Why is it that the “vast right-wing” conspriacy have the only tape? That’s why I know this is false.
Good thing you never got to do research for Sherlock Holmes.
… because the GOP were reeling from scandal after scandal.
In the end, Obama only got his seat because he merely had to defeat Maryland resident Alan Keyes for the junior ILLINOIS US Senate seat.
There is also the issue that Michelle is a much more visible character and has said things that piqued the interest of investigators only now. Her comments about her newfound pride and scratching out Bill Clinton’s eyes.
Gary Coleman or Todd Bridges could have beaten Alan Keyes.
So, what is going to happen now that Hillary and Obama have decided to mend their bridges? Will the tone of this blog change, to support the decision that Hillary has made?
Hillary can go take a long break and relax a while. She had a job to do for the Party, she did it today. Remember, it is NOT her job to unite the fractured Democratic Party; it is Obama who must try to fix the damage. Edwards, Richardson, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich, they all have had long breaks….let them mend the Party with Obama while Hillary gets a little rest; they were candidates too.
All those people needed to repair the damage one asshole jerkwad’s done. Amazing.
But that doesn’t answer the question that I asked. Hillary and Obama are burying the hatchet. Will people on this blog do the same thing? Will they give Obama a chance to gain their trust?
No. When Obama chose to use Bush/Rove tactics against a member of his own party, when he decided to falsely accuse Hillary and Bill Clinton of racism, when he decided to base his campaign on bigotry by denigrating and ridiculing all women, the elderly, and many other groups, when even after it became apparent his backers had succeeded in stealing the nomination for him, he continued his outrageous, slimy smearing of Clinton as if he wanted not only to defeat her in this contest but to destroy her for all time — when he did all of those things, he lost any chance he ever had of having my trust or my vote.
Add to that the fact that he simply is not qualified to be President and is a charlatan with no character or principles who has surrounded himself with a group of criminals and thugs, and even John McCain looks good to me.
Is that answer sufficiently clear for you?
McCain ‘08, Hillary ‘12, Obama never.
Nothing Obama says in the next five months can undo what he’s done during the twenty years.
The answer is NO. I would never trust him. I will never vote for him.
Obama had his chance, you can’t make silk out of a sow’s ear just because Hillary said so.
Bob Barr ‘08!!
LOL
I wonder whose advisers are more kooky, Obama’s or Mccain’s, esp in regard to the war?
Both sides seem to have batshit stupid help, those lil prissy Ivy or near Ivy boys who just have to take control of everything, and lose all, as we have in Iraq, economically, and with oil, up to now.
Maybe that’s the point, let the stupid guys destroy the corrupt system, and rebuild.
I mean, DUMB.
Only an Obamatron would think it kooky to win a war and not leave Iraq until the job is done, after so much has been lost. At this point, it does not really matter if the intelligence was faulty. The reality is that we broke it and we must stay until it is fixed.
This former Democrat and his family will NOT vote for Obama.
Cripes, Obama is talking about hollowing out our military too (in addition to surrendering in Iraq):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o84PE871BE
If I remember right Obama said that “Wright is not the man I met 20 years ago.” Then I think Obama said that Rkezo “was not the man I met 20 years ago” Strange but if I remember right just this last week Obama said that Pfliger “was not the man i met 20 years ago.”
I guess if the tape is real or Michelle screws up Obama should have the ” they arent who I knew 20 years ago.” I can just see Obama saying “This is not the woman I married”
She could have been replaced in the night when he was asleep with an exact replica. The Obamatrons would buy it at any rate. A lot of them just started in COLLEGE and they’re REAL SMART.
Not to nitpick, but you misspelled junior high school.
Jon
Fell free to report me to the Nation of Islam also.
I’m Just saying, Obama will lose, and the DNC will go the way of the whigs!
Larry,
It seems unrealistic to think that a couple of people on this gigantic planet would have the capability of holding something of this magnitude down. Obama has made alot of enemies–I think Rev. Wright is one of them, being that he was thrown under the bus along with Obama’s white grandmother. If that tape exist, I can’t imagine someone from his “previous church” holding back. Also, I can’t imagine someone passing up the opportunity to cash in on this potential bombshell. We will see…but I have my doubts.
It seems unrealistic to think that a couple of people on this gigantic planet would have the capability of holding something of this magnitude down.
It does? What hole do you live in?
Million dollar paintings disappear all the time and are never found. People are kidnapped and never turn up. One outsider gets a tape and the JJ people figure out what’s going on and break all the links on their website. They close down access. Barry starts to shit on himself. I have personally seen things like this happen. People get caught with their feet in their mouths years after the fact. Jerry Wright’s tapes were out in the open.
No, you’re being a fool is all. You know what? Your coming here and harassing people doesn’t change a thing. You can’t even convince yourself the tape doesn’t exist. And whilst Larry is stating exactly what he knows you are jumping to conclusions. Larry and the rest of us will go with the truth as it’s only a fact (or not). But for you - your world threatens to shatter in a million pieces merely because this tape might exist and your precious polyester candidate might not win and you might not get to Deval Patrick Paradise.
Sounds to us like you - as most of the Obamatrons - have serious mental health issues. In which case you’d better hope that tape turns up soon. Because Barry’s excuse for a health system won’t pay for the psychiatric care you need.
A lot of people may have the tape and simply not know about it. They may not remember who was speaking on the tape after a few years or have forgotten about the tape altogether.
Finding stuff like this is why the Republicans pay these sleuths so much.
I suspect a lot of people have the tape already but MO was not a celebrity until this last year.
I personally do not doubt the validity of the tape. My problems with Obama transcend anything about his possibly racist wife.
Larry I wish some of your buddies in the agency could get this tape NOW, and get obama out of this election! I believe everything your saying, I have no doubt the hatred the obama’s feel for white America you can see it in Michelles face evertime she gives a speech and her hateful demeanor and rant against Hillary in November I knew she was a bitch, yes I said it, these people can not be elected to the White House, they have lived in the race baiting crowd of Chicago to gain power and there is ample evidence to show it has been the theme of their lives as a “typical white person” I am not looking for a person that only knows how to hate on other people to gain power.
I too believe a few good spooks could hunt this tape down.
I know what you mean, and I agree, esp if it would help Clinton, but it’s been my experience the Republicans do everything in a very very deliberate manner.
We see a whole lot of stupid, remember, Bush and Cheney’s and Obama’s people are batshit stupid, but the real ops, not the TV ops, know how this works, and these are the people who have dealt with this crap since ww2, or even before.
And those people win.
Larry I enjoy reading your posts. I have noticed you are getting a lot of heat from various sources. I guess that is what happens when you get out there and talk. Thank you for your blog site.
Larry thank you for website. The Obama trolls are sure in a frothing frenzy, are they not? LOL! They are really scared that the tape does exist and then how are they going to defend that. You can tell by their high-pitched, whiny, attacks that they are like an ant’s nest that has been stepped on. Oh have to defend my plastic Jesus.
They just don’t know the strength we have do they! It’s Hillary or McCain in ‘08!
Wow, fear has a nasty smell, doesn’t it? Smells like Trolls to me! They know it’s entirely possible that Michelle opened her mouth at an inopportune time or they wouldn’t be here having Troll tantrums. Keep up the good work, Larry.
Honesty , is a difficult thing to find in this world, sometimes its more important to stand alone, with your ideals, even if those ideals do not meet with everyones else’s, be strong, enjoy your blog larry
Good advice on any day, thanks!
P.S. If a miracle doesn’t happen and Hillary is not in the running (which looks like that is the way it will be ) IF YOU DON’T VOTE MCCAIN - by default you vote for OBAMA. Ask youself which is the worse of the two?
DianeJ,
We’re on the same team, but the vote in November is Electoral College, not popular. So if you live in a Blue State like me, a vote for John McCain doesn’t do him any good, Obama gets all the electoral college votes anyway.
In this case, I need a way to send a message to Barky that I didn’t vote for him even if my state went his way. Writing in Hillary ( and I will checkthe law here, Uppity, thanks) is a little protest on my part.
If my vote could help tip a swing state away from Barky, I would not waste it on a purely symbolic write-in.
It really depends on where you live.
I just can’t do it folks, and glad to see I’m not the only one. I agree whole heartedly that Barrack is not ready for prime time. It is unbelievable how many people are supporting him for reasons I would rather not even comment about. How many people now did he not come to know over a 20 year period? My friends that is a hard sell, politics as usual; and no way to start a presidency to bring the nation back together.
His resume is paper thin and his “Great Judgment,” in my humble opinion, is the result of a lucky call and a position he may not have taken had he had more info concerning the flawed intel. A lot of good people got that one wrong.
There is some truth to the fact that “if you lie down with dogs you may get up with fleas.” Looks like he may some fleas…..Wright, Phleger, Aires, Reszko, …Michelle?
Who else?
“He did not want all of us to worry about Obama becoming president is his reason to telling me.” Ed
http://www.hcsfjm.com/comments3.html
Ed (with comments in red) claims to have heard a portion of the tape, and believes it will be released BEFORE the convention. I guess that means the Republicans have a copy, and a Clinton Democrat too. WTF
Does anybody even know who this Ed guy is who has the worst website ever…..
…unlike the situations with Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger, you cannot divorce your wife in the middle of a campaign.
Wanna bet? At this point, I don’t think that Obama will stop at anything to become President.
Bob Barr - are you kidding?
So you are saying you heard from two friends that both have friends who have watched this video.
Of the two above, I don’t know which is more pathetic.
http://www.hcsfjm.com/
From his home page, a poorly written statement:
Well are you OBOTs ready for some real bad news. I am about to deliver something you never wanted to hear. “THE WHITIE TAPES ARE REAL”. How do you know that for a fact. Well I have talked to that person on the phone. How do you know how bad it is.
I listen to about 2 minutes on the phone. I heard Obama’s wife call Bill Clinton every dirty word there is. I also heard her say “the only reason his wife stuck with him was so she could be a senator. What a ho she is” The person that has a copy of that tape will not release it until the Tuesday before the Election in Nov. He want to destroy Obama, Rev Wright, and Louis Farrahkan. I have begged to get it release early but no way will this person do that. So what we do here really won’t matter in the long run. Obama is toast and I pray Hillary will not have anything to do with him. I will continue to try to get this person to release this tape early.
I was beginning to doubt the existence of the tape until Obama refused to deny that Michelle would ever say something like that. And I found it odd that he put himself up too. Sounds like he’s not too sure they don’t have him on tape too. At least with the non-denial denial they can’t say that he lied when it comes out.
He could have said “Michelle would never make remarks like that” and then gave the reporter a lecture on asking about rumors. He tried to covey a false confidence that nobody has anything to release.
You don’t go to a church that says that kind of stuff especially if you are a biracial child and were raised by your white relatives. He actually knows better about white people, unless his grandmother telling him black men made her uncomfortable led him to embrace anti white venom.
Why are you people concerned about a rumor? Why are you here dignifying it? Yeah, people believe rumors, but the reason this one works, and you are worried about it, is because even you think Michelle is capable of doing and saying things like this. That tells me all I need to know about you and your blind loyalty to the Obamas.
This wouldn’t be able to get traction and be mentioned by Obama cheerleader Bob Beckel if people didn’t think she might have done it. The best defense against any rumor is your integrity and how you conduct yourself and the image you project. What does it say about your faith in Michelle that you are worried about this? You can’t prove she didn’t do it just as he can’t prove she did, yet.
So, a question to all of you Obamabots, especially the white ones, if this tape is real and is accurate, will you still follow blindly? Or will you give her a pass cause black people shouldn’t be held responsible for their racism? Will black Obamabots be just as outraged over her racism as you were over Imus and Dog the Bounty Hunter?
What will it say about Obama if he has a raging racist in bed with him at night? He can’t disavow her. I guess he could try to get America to believe that he didn’t know, like those people that are married to serial killers and don’t know it. The only problem with that is Trinity was a big sign with it’s black liberation theology.
Seems to me, if I hadn’t seen the tape, didn’t have the tape, couldn’t say when or even if the tape will be “released”, it might be worth mentioning once or twice, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason to put your credibility on the line by bringing it up more then that.
But, that’s just me.
Why would Republican operatives tell you about a tape? I would think if indeed there was a tape that they would keep that secret to their grave in case the Obama campaign could start planning for it.
I am thinking more and more that there is no tape but the Republicans just want to start a “whisper campaign” to discredit the Obama campaign now so they told you and you are helping them spread the “whisper campaign”.
Or maybe they have noticed how shaky Obama has been acting lately and are just slowly adding to the stress so they can watch and laugh as he tries to respond to inquiries without saying anything too definite one way or the other. Obama has had it easy running his dirty campaign against Hillary because, unlike him, she has an ethical and moral code that she will not violate, even to be President. But now he’s dealing with a group that will not hesitate to use anything they have against him. They won’t even have to swiftboat — there’s enough truth around to beat him decisively. It will be interesting to see how he deals with the humiliating and embarrassing loss McCain hands him this fall.
Yeah but says
Thanks for breaking down Occam’s Razor for us unenlightened ones. You offer only two possibilities which are already formed as fact in your mind.
I trust Larry with my life and consider him a dear friend. And I am only one of many who feel that way about him. Mr. Johnson’s credentials are beyond reproach. Are you interested in posting your bona fides?
Here’s just one of Mr. Johnson’s, co-authored with Col. Pat Lang. (USA, Ret.)
http://www.nationalinterest.org/General.aspx?id=92&id2=12186
What a complete joke! So sad to see your irrational hatred of Obama get the better of you, but not at all a surprise.
If this supposed tape existed, it would have surfaced by now, dontchathink? In this day of youtube and 24-7 cable garbage, you cannot keep something like this a secret and this would have surfaced during the primaries because every republican would like (or should I say, would have liked) to see HRC against JM in the GE because she’d be easier to beat with all her baggage.
I love how Larry the Liar keeps changing his tune about this non-existant tape. First he said it was going to be released, and that never happened, then he said five guys named Moe who all do not know each other heard it but couldn’t verifiy it, blah blah blah.
He once said he knew when and where it was recorded, now he says he doesn’t know. And just the fact that Larry the Liar cannot say who has heard it (since no one has) should be a red flag to anyone with a brain.
And then something really doesn’t pass the smell test here. The tape was supposedly made in 2004 and has Michelle talking about Katrina, which didn’t happen until 2005.
And even if Michelle Obama, the scary scary black lady, spoke in a negative way about white people, NO ONE uses the term Whitey anymore you dolts! That was used on ‘The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son’ back in the 70s.
But please, keep it up. This won’t help you get the pony for your birthday, you realize…
Even if the tape is a hoax, what’s giving the story legs is that Obama doesn’t seem to be able to flat out say it is a hoax. Then there’s his wife who unfortunately for her has taken personal shots at the Clinton’s. Barack should grow some balls and make a statement that clearly states there is no tape and his wife never said such things.
Actually, Hope-a-Dope needs to get
WinnieMichelle aside and serve her a big, steaming cup of Shut the Fuck Up.Since she appears to own the testicles, it appears that this is not only overdue, but extremely unlikely.
Hillary made the decison to keep her delegates all the way to Denver. She’ll support Obama, take a long vacation, and let Obama fix the damage because its not up to her to do so. And then she’ll get her votes in Denver, the party will have a nominee, and then everyone can get going. Whether she is nominated from the floor is up to OBama mending fences and rebuilding the party, not tearing it down so he can get ahead.
We her supporters are gold now, we are the ones you need but don’t know it yet and who are defecting. She hasn’t asked us to do anything and since she kept her delegates as far as I am concerned she is still in. And most of us are already looking or have found new candidates to support and vote for. Non-obama candidates, that is.
Have you heard of the Puma party? Party Unity My Ass.
Just got a touching e-mail from Howie
Thought I would share my response…
Go to hell. Do not collect $200.00, do not pass Go. You have illegally stolen votes from democrats in 2 states, and rigged the primaries and caucuses to the benefit of your suppossed saviour. I and millions of democrats will not forget this. I will vote for senator mccain, I will vote for every republican on the ballot. I will vote for whoever runs against Senator Kerry (nice job blocking his strongest threat, Jim Ogonowski - a war hero, shame on the democratic sec of state, must have learned that from you and the Obama campaign) I will vote for Congressman Frank’s republican opponent. I have e-mailed all my personal friends to inform them I am no longer a democrat. I have bought a McCain yard sign. It is shameful what you have done. You are nominating a man with little experience, strong connections to convicted criminals, a twenty year relationship with an afrocentrist church run by a racist, connections to Louis Farrakhan for crying out loud! Great job Dean, Pelosi, and Brazil! The republic 527s are going to have a field day this time around, they won’t have to make stuff up this time. It’s all right there for them. This time I will laugh my butt off.
Sincerely, 1 of 18 million disenfranchised Democrats
P.S. Make sure to keep sending me pleas for donations, preferably by mail, so I can write you a check for $0.00 and have you pay for postage.
Idiots
I got one too. I said. no, bugger off.
Larry, I think that Pastor Manning has access to the DVD of Michelle. It might be easier to get a copy from him than from the other sources.
He hints at some “information” in this YouTube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuysWJDP6J4
this is excellent and I book marked for use.
Definately the tape reference, or clearly more damaging information. It sounds like he too will release not to help her as a Democrat, as he will release it primarily to sink Obama and the democrats for stealing the nomination.
He encourages her at the right time to align herself with the Independent Party. Wow, this is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I should like to make the point that almost every scandal of major proportions was held by a select few in secret at one point or another. The fact that there is no hard evidence now is neither here nor there.
Take Abu Gharib. How many knew about it beforehand, besides the victims? Probably a few hundred people. They mostly all had an interest in keeping the information quiet. One may conjecture that a few hundred people saw the alleged Michelle rant, either live or on tape. But almost all of those people have an interest in keeping it quiet. Go down the list of recent scandals, like the DC Madam case, the Larry Craig exposure, etc. The contention that the rumor must be false because the information seems too improbable and shocking, and because there is no hard evidence, does not disprove it, any more than the assertions of its existence prove it. So we should wait with patience.
I do not understand the hostility of the anti-Johnson folks, except that they may have the nagging feeling that he could be right. After all, he has been right about things in the past. As I recall, I first came across his name when he wrote about Wm. Ayers, a characters I was suspicious of. This was well in advance of anyone in the media writing about Ayers in connection with Obama.
I know one thing. I am not spending any money on any candidate this time around. (I had contributed to Hillary.) I can understand or forgive her public support for Obama right now. For one thing, like it or not, she must preserve the party’s loyalty to her. After all, if the tape emerges prematurely, she may need to rally the party around her. And I think most of us who have been in senior positions in an organization understand that sometimes you just have to bite your lip and go along with the lemming majority (being careful to stay far enough back that you do not get swept over the edge.)
Obama won’t deny the fact that he is a marxist space alien too, so I guess that’s 100% iron clad proof he really is one?
Man, there are some real dim bulbs here. Are you people this irrational all the time, or only when your queen doesn’t get her birthday cake?
He doesn’t respond to the stupid allegations, because why should he? They aren’t true, are slanderous and ridiculous, and he has no need to give such credence to lies like this.
That’s what you bitter Hillary supporters are for apparently.
Good job, Slim. I bet at least 8 more undecided voters switched over to McCain after reading your rant. And thanks for the info about Obama refusing to deny being a space alien. When (and why) did you ask him about this? Is there a video we can post on youtube?
I am doubting more and more that there is a tape.
I think instead that the Republicans have told Larry Johnson this to continue a “whisper campaign” against the Obama campaign.
I there really was such a tape, the Republicans would NOT tell a soul. Instead they would keep it under lock & key to use it at the appropriate time. Why would they tell a Democrat about the tape? That doesn’t make any sense. One thing the Republicans are good at is that they KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT. They would NEVER tell a Democrat, Larry Johnson.
I am thinking more and more the Republicans are trying to involve Larry Johnson in a whisper campaign.
Larry –
Did all 5 of your sources say that it was at TUCC way back when? If not, why did you post that?
Do you expect the general public to believe your third-hand stories? Or is this just for No Quarter consumption?
God I love this site! It gives me such pleasure to watch the creepy-crawlies squirm, name-call and threaten.
Are the trollies ascared ? Do they know they’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled and okey-doked? Oh yeah, baby. BO=Big Time Loser.
BTW, Jon | 2008-06-07 14:45:15, I’m actually an expert in rhetorical devices and I can tell you that your claim that telling the DNC that they will be obliterated in November is “terroristic” is incorrect. In context, it means that they will lose badly. And the parallelism of “bringing an army” with “empty suit” is clearly hyperbolic analogy.
Trollie Jon, a few Communication classes at night school might help.
Like Jethro Bodine, he’ll have to graduate sixth grade first.
i watched Hillary speech this morning, why is it others can’t see the strength and greatness that could be, oh thats right, I know its more impotant to have a rock star,I sure hope he can hold a tune?
Slim:
Slanderous refers to verbal falsities. Those in print are properly called libelous. Please consult a dictionary before you hit the comment button. As for the logical composition of your argument, there I cannot help you.
Duhhhh, okay.
It still doesn’t make this non-existant tape any more real, now does it?
But please take pleasure in parsing my choice of words if that makes you feel better about believing Larry the Liar.
http://clintondems.com/2008/06/breaking-ed-oreilly-secured-ballot-spot-to-challenge-turncoat-kerry-in-sept-primary/
Here’s the breaking news just reported on WBZTV.com, turncoat Kerry’s vote supression tactics felt miserably, and Ed Gloucester attorney Edward O’Reilly got the needed 15 percent of the vote from party leaders Saturday to earn a spot on the ballot.
http://wbztv.com/local/senator.john.kerry.2.742947.html
Kerry supporters hoped to deny O’Reilly a run.
Few think O’Reilly could beat Kerry, but O’Reilly’s candidacy would force Kerry to campaign more this summer. And it could embarrass Kerry, depending on how much support O’Reilly gets.
O’Reilly said he supported Kerry during the 2004 presidential election. But he said he’s running because Kerry has not been strong enough in his opposition to the Iraq War, or his support for gay marriage.
One Kerry apologist has the most laughable and ridiculous reason to urge MA democrats to deny Ed O’Reily a spot on the primary ballot.
http://www.bluemassgroup.com/showDiary.do;jsessionid=D54DD6150502A344C1B11EFCAD9716E7?diaryId=11819
So where do we want John Kerry to spend that time — here in Massachusetts, where his victory in a putative primary is all but a foregone conclusion, or in battleground states fighting to keep John McCain out of the White House and fighting to bring our troops home from Iraq? I choose Option 2
This is one more reason turncoat Kerry apologists have given for us to beat him in a primary fight in September. Ed O’Reilly’s achievement is of no small feat, it is the first primary challenger Kerry has to face in 25+ years!
Vote Ed O’Reilly, and Keep turncoat Kerry at bay!
outstanding
I vote number 1.
Good. Kerry has a primary challenge. He should. He did not vote the way his state did as a super delegate; he lost the 2004 election he should have won because he didn’t stand up for himself or all wounded vets from vietnam and succumed to the flip flop charge (for the war before he was against it); his main qualification for Obama is that he’s black; and no he hasn’t done enough to bring the troops home by voting again and again for funding.
Yes, let’s all help his competitor and not let that weak SOB represent the democratic party out on the stump where he lost, lost, lost, lost. He is an embarassment to me. Sideline Kerry, yes. Let’s see how he likes his own tactics.
Nobama ‘08
Here’s Ed Reilly’s website. Contribute!

Vietcong John Kerry is a “man” of no honor.
I will support Ed O’Reilly.
You have it 3rd hand at best that some kind of tape exists …… well, “put up, or shut up”.
Larry, I know you’ve explained that it’s the Repubs who have the tape and won’t release it until AFTER the DNC Convention and I understand the reasons why, but is’nt it feasable that another party could have OR obtain that tape and let it be released before August??
I can’t believe our own party is willing to sabotage the best candidate we’ve had in decades over that incompetent Manchurian f**ktard. Gawd, I REALLY hate Dean, Pelosi, Brazile et al!
Larry, Piss or get off the pot already. I, and thousands of others aren’t going to pay one wit of attention to you until this is proven true.
If you aren’t “going to pay one wit of attention” why are you paying attention by commenting on what you are not paying attention too?
Oh, and as if we care. Good riddance.
promise? Will you keep it and go away now?
Do learn to spell jphimself. It’s “whit”. You appear to have no wits.
What is wrong with you people. Get over yourselves and do what is good for the Country, not your own egos. You should be ashamed of yourselves (and I was a Clinton supporter)
Divided government is good for the country.
Notice how all the trolls end their faux-outraged comments with a variation on: “[and to think]…I was a Clinton supporter.”
I guess they think it makes them somehow more convincing.
It doesn’t.
Uh huh. Sure you were.
The party of Obama, Dean and Brazile is NO longer the “Democratic” party.
Give us back the party of FDR, Truman, JFK, Johnson and damn right William Jefferson Clinton!!!! The REAL Democratic party!
get over yourself. If you were a clinton supporter you would get it. No, this party dissed us, we don’t belong anymore.
I actually am a Clinton supporter and cannot, for the good of my country, vote for Obama or support a party that disenfranchised millions.
Nobama, 08. No means no. Heard of the PUMA party?
The evidence for this tape sounds more and more like Bush’s evidence for WMD’s in Iraq.
So who is LJ’s Curveball, or is he just assuming that role as well?
[...] Larry Johnson is questioning the Hillbuzz story. Johnson apologized for cauing any confusion by putting up the Hillbuzz story on his site. What Johnson is saying is this, “The sources who have seen the tape report that Michelle says disparaging things about “whites” and that Louis Farrakhan is visible. There is no identifying information on the segment they have seen to identify the location or time when this was recorded.” According to Johnson the 527 that has the tape will keep it off the market until after the Democratic Convention.

LOWELL – Gloucester attorney Ed O’Reilly got enough support from party officials today to ensure that he will give US Senator John F. Kerry his first Democratic primary challenge in 24 years.
At the state Democratic Party convention at the Paul E. Tsongas Arena, O’Reilly got 22.5 percent of the 2,574 ballots cast, more than the 15 percent he needed to secure a spot on the primary ballot. Kerry got the majority of votes, which means he’ll get the party’s endorsement.
“Party officials said this campaign is a nuisance. And it is. It’s a total nuisance,” O’Reilly said to the convention floor. “Democracy is a nuisance. People said the American Revolution was a nuisance — and it was!”
Kerry, in his fourth six-year term, last had a serious challenge in 1996, from Governor William F. Weld, a Republican. He hasn’t had a primary opponent since 1984, when Kerry and three other Democrats ran for a seat vacated by Paul Tsongas.
Few predict the sitting senator will be vulnerable in a primary race. But it could mean more campaigning this summer – and marks an embarrassment that a former presidential candidate was unable to thwart the challenge from O’Reilly.
The former city councilor and commercial lobsterman had met all the other requirements to secure a spot on the primary ballot, including meeting with party officials, attending scores of local meetings to introduce himself, and gathering 10,000 signatures.
But his highest hurdle was garnering 15 percent of the vote from party leaders today — a requirement Kerry worked to try to prevent.
Kerry took the stage to the sounds of Bruce Springsteen. He was joined by his wife, Teresa Heinz, and his daughter Vanessa.
“I’m here with humility to ask for your support,” Kerry said. “We have literally so much unfinished business … My friends, I have more energy, I feel more focused, I’m more ready for the fight than ever before.
“I ask for your trust and confidence to go back to the senate and help make our country right again.”
In the general election, the winner between Kerry and O’Reilly would face Republican Jeff Beatty, a 55-year-old Army veteran from Harwich.
Republican Jim Ogonowski, who was his party’s favored candidate, failed on Tuesday to qualify for the GOP primary ballot, delivering 30 signatures shy of the 10,000 he needed.
Ogonowski, a 50-year-old Dracut farmer who lost a Congressional bid to Niki Tsongas last year, issued a statement Friday saying he would leave the race.
I hope John Kerry tanks
He tried awfully hard to eliminate the opposition… I’m glad the guy got enough support, though.
Hillary or McCain

Hi Everyone–
Just a few quick thoughts if I may.
There are many, many ideas as to the most effective way to broadcast our disapproval of the actions taken by the DNC, Democratic party and media.
So, I’ve been thinking….What are our two goals?
From your emails and our discussions (always delightful to talk to my favorite people in the world that I’ve never actually met :-D;
most of us want two things:
Hillary as our nominee and President
No Obama
So, what’s the most effective way to reach our goals?
Meet with McCain.
It’s a platitude that actions speak louder than words. But meeting with McCain—and telling the press he’s our number 2 choice– will speak loudly to the DNC.
More loudly, I believe, than all the rallies, protests or letter-writing campaigns we could muster.
If this causes the SD’s to reconsider Obama at the convention (remote, I admit but possible)–we haven’t given anything away. McCain’s still our #2 choice (after HRC)
If they don’t, we have a strategy and a coalition for how McCain can beat Obama.
If I were to set this up—a meeting with Senator McCain and HRC supporters—perhaps in DC—perhaps somewhere else (Tell me where).
Would you guys come and how many people could you bring? We would need some numbers to make this real.
This is it, guys. This is the way to let them know we’re serious. I know, it feels kind of dangerous.
Let’s do it anyway.
Who is in?
Paulie Abeles
(smile’s back…
P.S.
Most of the issues we (potentially) have with McCain are resolved by the Democratic congress we will certainly have. No radical Supreme Court appointments and Obama has already said he probably won’t be able to get out of Iraq in his first term anyway. McCain is only running for one term. Then, HRC in 2012.
I’m in…tell me where and when.
show me where he agreed to only running for 4
and have a good meeting (good idea) with Hillary Warriors about things like the environment and women’s rights and restoring some of the constitution…
Then, I would LOVE to contribute to a simulcast thing on some type of on line/www/utube things
do your own homework, troll. and no, won’t indulge any link from you.
who me? I’m not falling in line for McKook or Odrama
If the repugs on this board want my vote they will have to convince me and answer some questions
I’m not researching him. I don’t like him enough to waste my time on him. If he thinks he’s good enough for my vote, let one of his fans convince me.
The BHO fans have failed miserably (over and over) no going back there
Would you like a foot massage too? I am not so sure I would want someone so intellectually lazy to cast a ballot anyways. And, quite frankly, who cares if you like him? This is not American Idol; it is about electing the highest public official in the land.
I’m in. please let me know how.
McCain will take us. I signed up for Senator’s Lieberman’s Citizens for John McCain. Within a few hours of Senator Clinton’s concession speech, I received a call from CJM and they wanted to know if I would be interested in responding to any local press inquiries or to speak at local events.
The man listened to my opinion and he did not tell me what I should say- including my demographic. Since I agreed to speak my peace, my info will be sent to John McCain’s team. Regardless if I am ever contacted by the press, I got a real telephone call telling me that my vote counts with McCain. Slick? Perhaps, but I did not receive any call from the Obama folks and they have my number. Remember who mentioned us last week and who did not care.
“Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans, and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes received. As the father of three daughters, I owe her a debt for inspiring millions of women to believe there is no opportunity in this great country beyond their reach. I am proud to call her my friend.” McCain.
Larry, thank you for your honesty. You were right when you lambasted the faulty intelligence that took us into Iraq, and you were right when you stood up for Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame. And I’m prepared to be that you are right about a tape existing of Michele Obama’s racist rant. What is really telling is that few people doubt that she could have ranted in this manner; the only question really is whether it was captured on tape. Like you, I could never vote for a unqualified token candidate or for a chameleon-like McCain. However, Bob Barr? He is as unprincipled as McCain, and a partisan hypocrite like the rest of the Republicans who led the Clinton impeachment. Frankly, the only principled, honest-to-a-fault Presidential candidate remaining is Ralph Nader; a true American hero whose efforts to provide clean air, clean water, and safety is now taken for granted by millions of Americans.
A very close friend who happens to be a conservative talk show host, told me that Rudy has the tape. He’s waiting for the right time. I believe this not only because my friend, although we are opposed politically, has always been impeccable with his word but he warned me of the impending Lewinsky scandal well before Drudge hit the net. I hope someone manages to get a copy and release it before the convention in August.
Oh yea, sure, and I know this one guy who has a cousin who knows this other guy who cuts his hair who knows some other guy who works in a sawmill who is friends with a guy in Boston who has a bar who knows this one guy working in a Best Buy who told one of his customers who listens to talk radio all day about this other guy who said he read something online about this other dude who heard something about a guy in Cleveland who watches baseball and he saw something about a story that he heard from his dentist who also has a patient who works for this one other guy who heard a tape, but it was just a Doobie Brothers bootleg from an episode of “Good Time”.
The bootleg tape of the Doobie Brothers was not “Good Times.” It was on “What’s Happenin’” and the charater was Rerun. Duh.
I may be in the minority but:
I DON’T NEED THE TAPE!!!!
WIN WITHOUT ME!
The tape is not a make or break for obama . .. he’s already broken in my book and will never ever get my vote!
I with you Mimi….I don’t need the tape either. Obama sealed his fate along time ago..with his “the prettiest sound of earth is the Islamic call to prayer at Sunset,” his attending the racist hate-filled TUCC church for 20 years and exposing his impresionable children to the despicable sermons of Wright, when he surrounded himself with every radical, pro-muslim extremist he could find…..
all those things made it clear to me Obama was unfit…that and he’s an inept boob!
AMERICA FIRST, DEMS SECOND, OBAMATONS NEVER!
after seeing the sermons from trinity……….i think there are probably more than a handful to come out………that’s some crazy ass church…….would not surprise me at all.yet, i would like to be surprised…no vote obama…NEVER
I am sitting here LMAO because of these scared trolls. Just sent John McCain another $50 as an homage to their presence here.
Why are they here except to intimidate, cajole, threaten, etc, etc. They are trying to demoralize us but they don’t know how really stong we are do they! They have so many websites of their own but here they are. They’ve been sent here to try to change our minds/scare us but what they don’t realize is that our minds are already made up. There is no going back no matter how much they harrass us and if anything, their presence here makes me feel even stronger against the plastic Jesus candidacy; thus my donation to McCain.
I will not be intimidated, harrassed, scared, or cajoled into voting for the asshole that is Obama. Millions of us feel the same way and I can’t wait for him to go down in a landslice defeat in November! Pass the popcorn. I take mine with butter.
No, actually I am making fun of the desperate slobbering morons here who cannot get past the fact that this entire story is pure bullshit spawned by an ex-spook who is upset his queen didn’t get the nomination. Scared? Of what exactly? Scared of some non existent tape that has audio of MIchelle Obama saying ‘whitey’? Are you that far gone to buy into this lie? Like the tape would even matter, as I aint voting for her, nimrod. Every 4 years the right wing(and today some very bitter so called Democrats) go on a smear campaign against the candidates wives, and this is no exception.
Go ahead and give Johnny Mccain all your money. It only shows what sore losers you really are.
I don’t need your permission you asshole!
go jerk off at dkos or mydd, iceberg slim. you are sick. you should be working for your candidate.
not sore at all here! determined to bring Obama down or make him so weak even you bots will have to think. you’re already sweating now, and it stinks.
FYI - the McCain campaign just called me because I signed up yesterday for their citizens for mccain site…they are looking for ind and dems who support mccain to serve as spokepeople for the local media. If you’re interested…call 703-418-2008 and if it’s a voicemail leave a message. You can also go to the website. The volunteer got an earful from me and she said I wasn’t alone! I know that, but it was nice to hear a live human being say it. http://citizens.johnmccain.com/

Obviously, I vote in the swing state of Ohio. I have made up my mind I will NOT vote for Obama. That alone will hurt him because he will need every vote he can get in this state. I feel certain at this point that I can vote for Senator McCain. Our country will not crumble under a McCain presidency, but our democracy will crumble under an Obama presidency.
At this point, I can’t think of anything worse for our country than a validation and acceptance of everything the Dem Party, Obama and his supporters and the media have done. What could possibly hurt our country more than acceptance of disenfranchisement and acceptance of the media and party elites having control over our elections and deciding for us who the next president is going to be. To me that is what a vote for Obama would mean and I will never be a part of that.
I hope Larry has respect for those of us who WILL vote for Senator McCain, just as I have respect for his voting for a third party candidate. Our votes are what are sacred and what we are fighting for.
Exactly!
I live in the swing state of Ohio too. BO wants us to vote independent or for Nader… let’s paint it red for McCain!
No Quarter has surpassed Riehl World View as my favorite wingnut parody site. Hilarious stuff, guys!
Thanks for the traffic troll; NQ loves you.
This was a nice try at a rational-sounding message, Larry. It’s too bad your thinking about Barack Obama is so dissapointingly shallow. You were a CIA analyst, and you think the talented folk who make the right decisions are really the ones who have been in government the longest? You do know how long Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld were in gov, don’t you?
If you can’t articulate a more convincing or substantive reason not to back Barack Obama now that Hilary Clinton has conceded, most people will continue to believe in a reason you haven’t yet asserted - you’re a fuc*ing racist. That’s also why you’re willing to be certain of the existence of evidence you haven’t seen.
I have not spoken directly with the people who have seen the tape, but I have spoken to two of my friends who are friends with..
And both of those friends have been duped, bought or.. they’re liars who know you can be used to sabotage Barack Obama’s campaign.
Which you’ve made a great start on.
Here’s what you should do if you had an ounce of integrity: if the tape doesn’t come out, you should shut your site down. You’re unfit to be shaping the public message, and it’s disgusting that you profit commercially from a fantastic increase in the number of people who think you’re an idiot. I make an effort to avoid coming to your site for that exact reason, though I’ve obviously caved here.
Nah, he should go ask Fox News for a job. They’d love him.
I have a reason why we shouldn’t vote for Barack. In the past couple of months the venom and vitriol for Hillary Clinton spouting out of progressive Obama supporters has not only embraced the talking points of the republican party in the nineties but engaged in such a massive campaign of hyperbole (ex, clinton wanting Barack murdered) that you have lost our respect and allegiance for all of time. When we can add your comments about the Clintons at the height of your hysteria to those made by the republicans at the height of theirs and we can’t find any difference any more, that’s because there is no difference.
You may belong to a different party and advocate for different policies, but you share the same mindset with the people we are trying to replace. You’re the reason we can’t support Barack. Without you he’s still a first term senator.
shut this site down? are you out of your freakin mind? Johnson is not shutting down he is adding more servers dumbass. crawl back under your rock dirtball your stinkin up the site.
Yay Larry. Since Taylor Marsh and TalkLeft are supporting the apparent Dem nominee, I thank you for offering this alternative. Keep up the good work, I’m with you 100%.
HEY! I WILL SECOND THAT!
Well, can I “THIRD” it?
Larry, you know what happens when women get ticked off………….don’t you?
HILLARY/MCCAIN 08
NEVER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Thank you for continuing your support of HRC Larry
I also believe you 100% on this tape.
Larry: Ignore these idiots. It is of course an Obamabot. Unity my ass. Don’t give them the time of day. Actually, Larry, we believe you about the tape and I can’t hardly wait for the republicans to bring it out. Wish they would do it now I’d feel lots better. Of course its all about timing to make sure Obama becomes the nominee at the convention in August to be sure there is no more threat of a Hillary candidacy. Obama will never get my vote on any ticket. Keep up the good work. At least we Hillary supporters can trust this site for the truth.
Thank you, Larry. Keep on keeping on!
Here in small town Texas we appreciate you.
We are all hat, all cattle, all Larry, all the time!
From a PUMA post:
“I am reposting this from the last thread. I think I can see another tactic they are using. (someone let me know if this makes sense to them)Take a water pipe shaped like a (T). The bottom part of the (T ) is where the voters feed their votes into. Going up into the top part where it splits off into votes for Obama on one end and votes for McCain on the other. (This is how it will be if we can’t get Hillary in.) Now look at the line for the votes that are heading for McCain - the Obama people want to poke as many holes in the line as they can. So they poke one hole and siphon off people who will stay home, then they poke another hole and siphon off people who will write Hillary in (In some states this be a vote Obama instead) then they poke another hole and suggest we vote for some candidate that doesn’t have a chance of winning like Ron Paul. When they get so many holes poked in the pipe the only votes that are going to McCain is a slow trickle. That people- gets Obama in. We all know Hillary beats McCain and McCain beats Obama. The thing is no matter what we do we need to be unified to stop Obama. Sorry for the repost I just thought it might be important enough for people to think about.”
I’m with you…to defeat Obama - we MUST vote McCain!
Bring it on!!LOL!! Little did Obama realize there was a JOKER in the deck of race cards, and it is now about to trump Obama’s race card. HOW SWEET IT IS!! Michelle the Mouth and Obama the black Elmer Gantry leading their cult over the cliff. Kick her to the curb Obama, she has thrown a monkey wrench in your “RACE” for the White House. That damned whitey is going to be your downfall after all with a little help from the Michelle the Mouth.
Larry, thank you for your continued commitment to stand up and persue the truth relentlessly. It takes great courage. It is appreciated!
