Thread #2: Larry’s HillBuzz Story

By SusanUnPC on June 4, 2008 at 8:32 AM in Current Affairs

SEE LARRY’s STORY BELOW. Excerpt from HillBuzz report today:

The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th – July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.

Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks.

Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended.

Michelle Obama spoke at the Women’s Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant — his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.

For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on “whitey”, and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that’s when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who’s seen this. …

The “tape” is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website …

The MSM bashing of Barky has already begun (sorry if this is a repeat, but I think it’s important – besides why not crash someone else’s servers?)

HillBuzz just updated its website to post a description of how they tracked down when the events on the tape likely occurred.

Spread this word:

Hillary Clinton 17,785,009

Barack Obama 17,479,990

And, as Heidi Li writes:

Apparently, this must be made perfectly clear: claiming the nomination does not equal being the nominee

I do not accept any of the MIchigan delegates given to Obama as legitimate. I don’t even think they’re legal. If some one’s name is NOT on a ballot, folks voted for uncommited, the delegates should be considered unpledged. How can you just give him imaginary, rhetorical, hypothetical votes. How can the state of Michigan certify results and then the DNC just extrapolate votes for a candidate that wasn’t part of the process?

CognitiveDissonance

Yes, now we know exactly why the DNC went to such lengths to illegally give Gutter Ball those delegates. They are the ones that supposedly put him over the top.

We also know why they never would even listen to those who wanted full voting rights for those delegates. He wouldn’t have been able to declare victory tonight because he would have needed over 2200.

He is not the legitimate nominee, folks. He has a big fat asterisk on his back. He is now the Barry Bonds of politics. Hope he’s proud.

VAH

Talk about unfair. First of all, fair was for the Rules Committe to allow the votes to be counted in the first place, when the rules dictated that 100% of them would not be counted because the rules were broken by Florida and Michigan. Each candidate, INCLUDING HILLARY CLINTON, knew that 100% of the votes in these states would not be counted and accepted that fact. When Hillary knew that she was losing to Obama, it was then and only then, many many months later that she decided to “fight for those votes to be counted”. So please let us get that straight right now. I know that you are a strong Hillary Clinton supporter as I am a strong Obama supporter, but she has known for a long while that the votes in those states would not be counted and she did not fight back then when she knew that they would not be counted, but only when she knew she was losing to Obama, she started the rhetoric and the “fight for those states votes to be counted”. As a strong Hillary supporter maybe you can answer some questions for me. If the Rules committe said that no votes would be counted because rules were broken by these states and reversed that decision and said that 50% were to be counted, isn’t that a compromise, fair? Also, if the shoe was on the other foot and Hillary’s name did not appear on the ballot in Michigan, would it be fair to award Obama all the votes and none to Hillary? With that said, Let’s not forget, there were 30 million write in votes in Michigan that were tossed aside and not even counted. Also consider the fact that many very busy people with their busy lives did not attend because they felt no need to take off work, leave school early or leave home because they knew their votes would not be counted anyway. With that said, and not knowing how those people would have chosen to vote, Isn’t it true that the contest in Michigan was not a fair one to begin with because Obama’s name was not even on the ballot? Talk about unfair. How can you say Hillary’s wins all of those votes when Obama’s name was not even on the ballot? That is ridiculous and that is what is unfair! Some would even argue that everyone was told, (which disenfranchised the voters, however, were rules agreed upon by Clinton and Obama) that the votes would not be counted as punishment for breaking the rules and in the end they were counted. In real fairness to Clinton and Obama,none of the votes should have been counted, or they should have been split 50/50!

He is now the Barry Bonds of politics.

Say that loud; say that often.

I will credit you with the quote three times then treat it as public domain.

goldengrahme

Because the DNC’s actions are illegal, why can’t the Hillary campaign file suit and stop the process until a judge can decide on its
legality? Why didn’t the DNC look into the bogus caucus results, especially in Texas?

Why am I asking rhetorical questions? We can
get as much satisfaction as came out of the
Congessional hearings on 2000, Florida. Not!

Here is the information. If Jesse Jackson WAS IN ATTENDANCE at that FIASCO and it is as advertised, he has some explaining to do !!!!!

Monday, June 28
Focus: The Church and the Marketplace
8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Sessions on finance, health, issues in the religious community and related topics will be held throughout the day. Rev. Major Jemison, president of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, gives the keynote address. Rev. Stephen J. Thurston, president of the National Baptist Convention of America, presides.

Women’s Luncheon, with keynote speech by Rev. Jackson:
12:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.

Blue Intrigue

Funny how nobody is picking up on the fact that this event was NOT at Trinity United Church and that there WAS NO panel – just Rev. Jackson’s speech.

Here’s the evolution of the story and you can go back through Larry’s posts to confirm this:

First, it was Michelle Obama speaking from the pulpit at TU; then it was Michelle and Louis Farrakan together at Trinity United; then it was Michelle appearing on a panel with Farrakan’s wife.

First, it was a tape controlled by Karl Rove; now it’s a DVD that apparently anybody can buy from TU’s website, even though TU had nothing to do with the Rainbow/PUSH conference.

Oh, and for good measure let’s smear an 82 year old civil rights activist in the process and play a guilt-by-association game by showing a pic of Michelle with Mrs. Farrakan that also happens to include a black female POW. Anybody who still believes this tape exists needs a course in remedial logic.

“Because of you, we won together the swing states necessary to get to 270 electoral votes,” [Hillary] told the crowd in New York City. “I want the nearly 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected, to be heard and no longer to be invisible.”

[...]

It has been a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign, but Obama is not, one of his senior advisers assured me Tuesday night, going to spend a lot of time in the next few months wooing Clinton supporters whose feelings may be hurting.

try by Obama’s camp, but hurt feelings is not why I dislike Obama. Rather, because Obama is a fraud.

One problem. The Rainbow/PUSH event didn’t take place at Trinity, it took place in the Chicago Sheraton. Straws, prepare to be grasped.

This morning CNN was breathless in their excitement for Obama. By noon, they had some elderly black gentleman whose name I missed, and he was saying that Obama has been anointed by God to be president. Dear Lord, they’ll have him canonized by next month. If there is going to be a blowback in the MSM against Obama, it will have to be loud and long to break through the shoddy reporting on CNN and MSNBC.

I have yet to see an updated list of names of supers who have endorsed Obama. The MSM is going on Obama’s say so. The truth about Obama will have to break through a mountain of cheerleading.

Darryl

This should be scary to you. Someone unknown being refered to as the “savoir” of the world. These people have entered into fanatism. Something that is totally against the essense of the constitution. If I remember correctly, we fought independence from such kings whose followers would declare themselves kings on the premise that they were annoited by god himself.

Oh Lord another George Bush talking to God. As if God would be caught standing next to either of them.

http://n/a interested

Hillbuzz appears to be backing off the story. Latest post shows when he thinks MO might have spoken at a conference. He hasn’t seen the tape and doesn’t know if it even exists. So his post of this morning was just inventing content…?

Mr. Johnson, any news on tracking this dvd down?

TheTruth

Exactly.

The story has basically been like this…NoQuarters posts something then HillBuzz posts something referencing the NoQuarters post and then NoQuarters posts something referencing the HillBuzz post. It is becoming a huge circular reference with no “facts” or “evidence”. All you have are two bloggers carrying a rumor for something that should be easy to find out. It was a massive public event that had a former President there. There has to be some recording of it at some media outlet in Chicago.

I understand that people here either support Hillary or dislike Obama but at some point don’t you think it is more productive to spend time reporting on stuff that will actually help your cause instead of chasing your tails looking for boogiemen that don’t exist??

-TT

It’s Not Me

You know the DVD exists or you wouldn’t be here waiting for it. Why don’t you just fuck off and crawl back under the rock you crawled out from under? Loser Obamarhoid. G-d you people are stupid.

LarsThorwald

Well said. Brilliant. Just…lovely.
VAH

Let me guess, a Hillary supporter or a republican wrote this. So typical of their attitudes/disposition. It is going to be quite painful for these type of people when Obama becomes President of the United States of America. He can and he will. Can you say President Barack Obama.lol.

http://www.marcysmutiny.blogspot.com/ MessyMarcy

How sweet, an Obamabutt is here to advise us on wise use of our time. It would be more productive of you to spend time helping your Precious One draft his concession speech. Deval Patrick, as I understand it, does not have one of those for Obama to copy; and whether he delivers it in August or in November, it is something Obama will be reading from his trusty teleprompter.

VAH

I understand that you don’t approve of Obama’s speeches or imply that he uses other people’s words all of the time, however, I do not mean to insult your intelligence but if you have paid close attention and really listened to all of the speeches that each candidate for president has given, you would know that they have borrowed words, in one way or another, from time to time. This is evident in many of Clinton’s speeches and poor bumbling McCain, I will just leave that one alone. My point is, you cannot take away the fact that Barack is a very intelligent man (oops, maybe you are more intelligent than Barack, but before answering that I think you better check out Barack’s education, CV and books before providing us with your educational/intelectual information) with the ability to compose and assist in composing his own speeches and the ability to deliver them effortlessly as well, unlike the other candidates. If you don’t believe me, ask the over seventeen thousand inside the arena and fifteen thousand who watched him on screen outside of the arena the night he won the nomination, representing a total of at least thrity-two thousand people that came out to listen to him, not to mention the record breaking crowds of thousands that have come out to hear him earlier this year. Oh, I beg your pardon, and how many thousands have consistently, time and time again came out to hear your candidate for president? Obviously not nearly as much as Barack’s “record breaking crowds”. After eight years it is about time that we have an intelligent president in the United States. I can get used to saying President Barack Obama. I think you better get ready to saying it too.

That’s funny! Seems to me I remember the German people saying the same things about Adolf Hitler.
Great role model!
alee21

Not if I can help it. BTW, don’t go by what’s on paper. Obam might have gone to fancy places (so did I, but anti-affirmative action applies to Asians) but at the end of the day he knows little about governing, policies and in my opinion, has shown poor judgment in his selection of associates.
Simply put, I don’t trust your guy.

TheTruth

At this point you either have to produce the tape or get off the pot. Unsourced “opinion” on random blogs isn’t evidence. The tape is evidence. While I won’t go as far as saying people are making this up everyday there is no tape you just make yourselves look more like “Obama haters” rather than serious people trying to get to the truth.

Why keep “reporting” on something everyday that you can’t verify? If there is a tape I am as interested as the next guy to see it, but I can’t help but wonder why with all these people looking for “dirt” on the Obamas nobody can find a copy of a public meeting that was held less than 4 year ago. This cloak and dagger routine is getting old. Tell your “sources” to either put up or shut up.

Clinton Fan

What’s this YOU shit?

Can’t YOU “read?”

Larry has NEVER SAID HE HAD THE TAPE.

Larry has said the GOP WANT TO HANG ON TO IT TO FUCK OBAMA IN THE FALL.

Why are these simple facts so difficult for you dullards to understand? Why do you keep setting up a false construct, insisting that he has said things that he hasn’t?

Is it STUPIDITY on your part….or FEAR? Snarling isn’t going to change reality, you know.

If anyone needs to “get off the pot” it’s the OBAMA stoners who do a shitload of ASS-UMING and get all pissed off and self righteous after not even bothering to read what Larry himself has said about this matter.

CuriousGeorge

I don’t think TT’s too stupid to understand that. It seems to me like he’s bringing up a valid point – Larry has the onus as a “reporter” of sorts to report on things, whether about Hillary, Obama, McCain, whoever. As of now, the posts about the tape will all be great facts if proven true, but, as TT points out, there is simply no evidence yet. So far this is all just a magnified rumor that adds a few more details everyday to the delight of people who call Obama things like “El Turdo” and “Gutter Ball”. Without the evidence, without sources or references, this just becomes an Obama hate fest and not an objective assessment of the facts.

As TT points out, there are lots of other issues you can spend your time on if you dislike Obama or reasons to dislike him that are all rooted in fact. The tape might be real, but until then, this is just a circle jerk for people who hate Obama.

sjl106

It’s funny obamabots live off rumor and has this entire primary, however Larry isn’t the only one talking about it the Wall Street Journal has reported on it. Democratic strategist, an obamabot, Bob Beckell on Fox yesterday said he believes it is out there and it will give the nomination to Hillary also that it will be brought soon, I for one hope so, if they wait till after the convention there will be no recourse.

And no I am going to do everything I can to make sure obama and wife never step foot in the White House as a resident, regardless if this dvd is out there, just what I have seen there is already ample reason not to want them in that position.

Matt

…and Bob Beckel and everyone he has talked to are in fantasyland as well, right?

He has been an Obama supporter and still is. The difference is that he has a grip on reality. The Obamabots do not. Beckel would not be making this up for the fun of it, he has heard details from more than one person he trusts. He would not go on Fox News of all places to blurt out nonsense.

Oh, and what about John Fund? He is just another blogger selling phony makenews? He may lean right, but that does not make him an idiot. He would not deal in rumor unless he gave some level of credence to this based on a source. Journalist protect their reputation above all else…

Who is it that needs remedial logic?

Blue Intrigue

Beckel said that a “shoe would drop” involving Michelle Obama today. Nothing about this tape specifically. Didn’t hear what John Fund, nor do I particularly care. He is not a journalist; that’s why his pieces appear on the opinion pages. So, what shoe was going to drop? I mean, besides the 29 superdelegates announcing support for Obama.
SirWilliam

Bob Beckel works for Fox News and became a born-again Christian in late 2000. Hm.

You are the one that needs to shut up. God, what a loser, I mean an Obama Cultist.

Blue Intrigue

No, you shut up! Neener neener neener! Man, the level of discourse hear is so stimulating!

MarkL

Actually Booman provided the evidence the tape exists, by producing a partial transcript.
Blame him if you want to blame anyone.

Blue Intrigue

Read Booman’s post again. That’s not a transcript.

RedStateTurnedBlueForHillary

OMG. The DNC should strip him of every causus he won and every Super Delegate should denounce him. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if many of them have known about MO for quite some time. The media has probably known about this. Do they think it’s okay for Michelle to incite hatred toward whites? Do they think it’s okay for Michelle to be Firt Lady of a country she obviously hates? Don’t you think Barry feels the same way? If they think that America is responsible for troubles in Africa…then they can to move to Africa and be President and Mrs. First Lady there.

Why don’t the Obamas just go to Kenya to live — Obama has a cousin in the govt there. Actually while his cousin was lopping off heads the sitting president put him in the Govt. to save his own head. Sounds like a perfect place to raise the little Obamas. And for the adult Obamas there is alot of hatred to keep them amused.

DamienDavies

Larry is a Liar, it simply is a fact.

Here is proof:

Larry Johnson claimed that Karl Rove was being indicted and had multiple sources, sound familiar? should do it is the same line of lies he is running now. Throw enough mud and then he will back peddle.

He is a fool, here is proof:

Larry Johnson insisted that the US had nothing to worry about from terrorism — in the July 20, 2001 edition of the New York Times:

His is sick, here is proof:

He said that Karl Rove’s mother, who committed suicide in 1981, killed herself because of her son, no matter how much you dislike Rove that is beyond the pale, this is what he wrote:

Karl is a shameless bastard. Small wonder his mother killed herself. Once she discovered what a despicable soul she had spawned she apparently saw no other way out.

Why does anyone listen to him let alone believe him, he is the National Enquirer of politics, tune back for his next headline “Obama is an alien, video to follow’

Karl rove was going to be indicted. Word in Washington was that he gave evidence to save himself.

And that investigation is still going on. It seems much of the IL combine connects back to Washington. I don’t think it is a coincidence Fitzgerald is/was investigating Rezko, and Libby.

After the role Rove played in outing his friend Valerie Plame is it any wonder that he would hold a grudge and say something like that?

If you are going to criticize or condemn someone at least have the intelligence to demonstrate a little bit of common sense.

Sorry. I take it back.

I forgot I was talking to a CULTIST.

Obama’s an alien?! That would explain a lot.

Joe Wilson himself said that Rove was the guilty party. I chatted with wilson at the time about who he thoughtdid the deed.

Would you be surprized if Rove was the guilty party?

I just think he was protected by everyone.
noproblama

You’re right, I don’t care if there is a tape or not. Ovacuous is a joke either way.

Of course, his supporters don’t care if there’s a video of him (insert the most vile thing you can think of), because they have finally found a cause for their pathetic little lives. Spewing hate and vapidness throughout the blogoshere.

Sore winners, someone has already named them, and the reason we will do everything possible to see that Odopa goes down. And I don’t mean on Larry Sinclair.

http://deleted AnninCa

I hope everyone is feeling a bit better today. I am not overly emotional, but I had a good cry yesterday. Today I feel a bit more like that great bumper sticker, “I’m living Plan C.” *haha

I think we’ll all relax now. Hillary is right to insist we all have some time to calm down. As usual, the Dean and Pelosi et al are boorish to insist that it be wrapped up immediately. Why are they so afraid? He’s the presumptive nominee now. So get on with it, Obama. What Hillary needs to do now is really not his business.

I didn’t watch his speech. I figured I’d catch it today on file. I tried watching the TV, but the hosts thought we were interested in seeing them yap rather than hear the speeeches. I’m amazed by the stupidity of program directors these days. I waited for over an hour to see the speeches, and I had to turn the TV off and go on-line to do so. Amazing, huh?

I loved Hillary’s speech, particularly about how we aren’t invisible, and she’ll make sure of it. I believe her firmly on that point. This campaign really did change her, I believe. I think it brought her back to her real roots in politics, which are the regular joes and marys of the world who work hard and aren’t pretentious but have good solid morals and principles. It was such a heartfelt speech.

I feel badly for Obama and Michelle. I don’t doubt this rant of hers is real. I think about that anger and that perspective of blaming others and scapegoating people who do real work in the world, such as Bill Clinton, and I feel badly that jealousy and envy have ruined these two younger people. They do not respect others. They do not respect themselves, ultimately. They have not yet earned the self-esteem that comes from really accomplishing something that benefits others in life.

This campaign has been truly historical, but I think what I take away isn’t so much the AA and Woman deal as it is knowing that I have met on-line and via the campaign so many people who share my own values and perspectives and who also are big enough to really admire people in public service who are concerned for others. Hillary and Bill are politicians. Sure.

But they are politicians with a purpose.

Betty

As usual, the Dean and Pelosi et al are boorish to insist that it be wrapped up immediately. Why are they so afraid?

For now they have hearded together enough SD to give the appearance of winning to Obama, but their grip loosens every passing hour.

Just as they tried to estabolish Obama as the nominee before we had a chance to think about it, so now they are trying deny the SD a chance to think about it.

Write the SD and remind them of their proscribed duty.

Something we can all hope, instead of an Obama bounce after his dog and pony show last night, polls will show a McCain bounce.
http://paganpower.wordpress.com/ PaganPower

I don’t feel sorry for the Obamas. They have both lived privileged lives compared to most. And rather than use their station in life to help all those struggling to rise above it they BOTH chose to become a part of a separatist church that hates white people.

As far as I am concerned they can both go straight to hell. And I am quite certain there is a special place already reserved for both of them.
djcny

I agree with you on all points, except that I don’t really feel sorry for Michelle and Barack. They chose their path for whatever reason. We don’t really know how they’ve lived their lives up until this point in time. If it hasn’t been with integrity and compassion I guess we’ll find out but hopefully sooner than later.
Jim

The Obamas blame others and scapegoat people? Geesh, all we hear from Bill these days is how the media doomed Hillary. We hear how Hillary only lost because of sexism, or because somehow Obama cheated because he had the audacity to take the caucuses seriously. The Clintons are blaming everyone other than themselves for her loss. You don’t like Obama? Fine, I have absolutely no problem with that. But try just a little objectivity here and admit that perhaps Hillary, Bill, Penn and others within the Clinton “braintrust” may have made some major mistakes that seriously hurt her chances. She started with every kind of advantage and the media you are now railing against all but had her installed in the White House.

goldengrahme

Uh, Jim, you haven’t been following the diatribes of Keith Olbermann and David Shuster and Chris Matthews, among other “journalists” at MSNBC?

Misogyny is an ugly spectacle. And not as easily detected as blatant racism.

You aren’t slightly aware of the mass media’s
embrace of Obama as a political expediency? It certainly isn’t his legislative experience, his magnanamous incursions into international diplomacy (he has NO appreciable merits there), or his extensive professional resume.

So it must be something we normal citizens have yet to divine. Must be his religious, messianic pretensions. I am daily stunned at the willful
ignorance of Obama supporters. And I won’t even get into the Michelle brouhaha. That is a whole other story. OMG! It isn’t only the Clintons who have reason to fault this primary cycle; it is any thinking voter who cares about America.
People in droves are leaving the Democratic party and seeking representation elsewhere–even going to vote Repub for the first time. The DNC has
destroyed what was left of their liberal base.

Jim

Whoever this other “Jim” is needs to change his name. I don’t want to be confused with someone who excuses the rampant sexism thrown at Clinton.

Faustina

HillBuzz just posted some comments on the tape, asking if there are any journalists left in this country and describing their googling procedure to pinpoint a possible event for the Michelle outburst.

I choose to believe these rumors. They add up. Michelle, from what I’ve seen, fits the profile of someone with a huge chip on her shoulder.

However, the original posting by Hillbuzz about the tape describes the scene, that is, 30 minutes of ranting fueled by the crowd. You can’t know this detail without seeing the tape or having someone describe it to you. No mention of any third party involvement by Hillbuzz….although it must be there.

So we need to see the tape. If Obama and his friends don’t like that, that’s politics. You’d think Mrs Obama would have more sense and more self-control to put herself in a position like that.

But it’s good to know what she really thinks. That aspect of it is a good thing.

stodghie

the more info that comes out the greater the likelihood that the tape or video will be out sooner rather than later.

Steve

If the tape can be identified, it can be released before the convention. Republicans might not want it played until after the nomination, to avoid Hillary winning, but if we’re clever perhaps we can spoil their plan and get someone in the White House with an actual amount of competence.

Jim

If Michelle is on a tape saying those things, then will Barrack divorce her like he divorced all his other friends?

Will he distance himself from her too?

Will America see him for what he really is: a Republican tool to stop the Clintons?

djcny

He will never divorce her because I believe he is of the same mind. Also, he has come out on an ABC interview, and threatened (not physically)anyone that “attacks” his wife verbally. Although spouses of candidates have always been vetted just like anyone else in the politcal world. It will never be hands-off regarding not only her but also Cindy McCain. Just like it has never been for the Clintons.
What bothers me about this recording is that no one else seems to have a copy. If it was for sale I can’t imagine that no one else out there owns it or can’t get their hands on it to post on Youtube for example. I firmly believe that Michelle is capable of this just from some of the other remarks I’ve heard her make…but because it’s a big world out there I find difficult to believe not one other person has a copy of this.

just looking for the facts

If this forum was hosted by ABC 7 news anchors, they should know what went on (note as I posted on previous thread, this was NOT at Trinity);
from official conference program:

The reality is Clinton won.

I’m sticking with that.

I remember reading about Tony Blair one time, when his political eulogies were written it was said England miscalculated, thinking America had turned to the right, when actually, America voted for Gore.

America didn’t turn toward the right, the press presented a fake picture.

And the moron trolls beleive that fake picture.

Once you start to believe CNN, et al, you’re toast.

And CNN is, um, really really weak.
HillBilly

The shifting tone from HillBuzz makes me think that this rumor has built on itself, with no external verification or confirmation of any kind. Third-hand rumours and vague speculation, combined with a constantly shifting story… Sorry, Larry, but you are heading for Embarrassment City via the Humiliation Highway.

And I say this as a fervent Hillary supporter

claribel borden

Wow, I disagree, it almost seemed a verbatim translation.

Perhaps I misread.
stodghie

i bet you thought that was a good cover little troll. you don’t support hillary and are a blatant fibber. next!
http://lkcampbell.blogspot.com Lucinda

What shifting tone? If you’re a regular Hillbuzz reader, then you know his posting habits. He posted what he had to say about the tape, then moved on to another story. His newest post is a very good, and timely, criticism of the current state of journalism. (And I’m one who has witnessed the deterioration of print journalism from the inside, so I could add a lot to what he has to say.)

Thats all we are saying don’t count on us, or our votes no hard feeling. Win Without Us.
you got your affirmative action candidate you lowered the bar to 2118, you committed election fraud stole the votes from the votes to give him the magic number.you chose race over gender,hes your candidate not ours the Democratic bar is your party not ours.

Bob

Don’t worry, we will.

Don

Good luck with that one. It’s estimated there are anywhere between 5-7 million Hillary supporters who will not vote for Obama in November. He’d struggle even if that weren’t the case.

STALIN’S ULTIMATE DREAM!

THE WINNER BECOMES THE LOSER!
Only in this shit hole of a nation can murderers like george bush and an absolute fraud like barry soetoro use LOOPHOLES to turn the winner into the loser!

ONE MAN, ONE VOTE!

NOT ELECTORAL BULLSHIT, NOT CAUCUS FUCKUS BULLSHIT!

TWICE NOW, IN 8 YEARS, THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN BY LOOPHOLES! HOW MUCH MORE WILL WHITE AMERICA TAKE BEFORE WE TAKE OUR NATION BACK?

Eurogirl70

This is not about “white” America. There alot of people who post on this blog who are AA, white, Asian, Latino, Native American, etc. They all feel that this entire election process has been hijacked by the DNC leadership. We are all mad, and rightfully so.

This is not a “white” issue anymore than it is a “black” issue. It is an American Voter issue, and last I checked we come from all quarters of this world and this country. We are ethnically and racially diverse.

I will not be party to racial division of any kind. That is no better than the the crap the Obama camp has been playing.

We are the United States of America, in all of our hues.

claribel borden

Thank you, eurogirl, I agree.

Why do some people need to break this down to black and white, it’s as if they simply cannot understand the more complex thinking that governs this issue.

In needing to simplify, or find a hook, they fail to grasp why voters are outraged. They ignore, at their own peril.

And they think this way because, ultimately, they see themselves as superior, simply a function of their narcissism. Narcissism is not intellect.

I never really believed those who saw the American people as “sheeple.” I think they were projecting their own need to follow, their own self hatred and limited intellect.

I think of that description yesterday, from the poster who broke down the Obama supporters, they seem to fit the description of “latteObama.”

Tybalt

Well it sure doesn’t take long for the folks around here to start showing their true colours, does it?

http://deleted AnninCa

Hillary suffered through multiple rumors for 15 years. Either it’s true or it’s not. Big deal.

As for all this nonsense about reputations, etc., HuffPo is making a killing off of publishing daily rumors and crap stories.

Big deal.

Readers are responsible for evaluating. I can picture this happening, but then I don’t like Michelle. She’s coarse and does seem a bit out of control with her words. So it “fits.”

However, until I see it/hear it, it’s just a rumor…albeit a pretty darn good one…and it does speak to the real issues facing Obama as the nominee.

Wright lost him votes. Each time now that there is more to learn about him that is negative, more votes will be lost faster. That’s the way politics works. People actually give newcomers the benefit of the doubt. BUT….since he has no real record, if his known record is negative, then people will decide to dump him. The group that will go first is the latte crowd. He was, I’m convinced, a novelty item anyway in their world.

So from here on, every negative revelation will cost him even more votes.

He cannot afford to lose more. He won Montana with students and Independents. South Dakota traditional Dems once again sent the message that he is not the candidate for them. Puerto Rico represents the Florida Latino community, and that was overwhelmingly, No. WVA represents the Appalacia region, and that was overwhelmingly No.

These are lost votes. He will have to do something stunning to win them back. Or McCain will have to do something stunningly stupid.

The fact is that Michelle is a loose cannon. We all know that. She probably DID pop off.

What’s sad to me is why she did and her ugly perspective on our country and on people who really have done so much good.

Dawnelle

Here’s my quick list
—————–

You won’t believe Larry IF…

you are a pessimist

you are a kookaid drinker

you don’t really know this site and/or it’s prior reputation

you don’t WANT to believe it
—————–

YOU WILL BE SKEPTICAL if…..

you don’t really know this site and/or it’s prior reputation but you WANT to BELIEVE it!!! (that would be me)

I really, really, really, want to believe.
And, I will keep holding my breath!

AND especially meaning no disrespect to this blog. I can confirm it has been very informative to ME thus far.
Thanks so much!

My husband has said all along that BO’s wife is more dangerous than he is. Seems this just might be true.
Did you guys see this about Rev. Manning (he hints he might have something to HELP Hillary)
http://elect2009.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/breaking-news/

Peter

No not really. He has info but morally can’t release it because it would help the corrupt party achieve the WH. However, if she runs as an independent (which she would never do) he would assist. Sounds pretty empty. I guess he’s fine to have Obama in the WH otherwise he’d put the country first.

on talk left this morning there is a diary about a “stern” letter coming from pelosi and gang regarding hillary’s giving in by the end of the week. i wonder just what these elitist thugs are so afraid of?

http://deleted AnninCa

Pelosi is so weird and out of line that she is embarassing. The remaining SDs, I’m sure, have indicated to Hillary when they will announce. And they have every right to back Hillary now, too. Obama’s “win” now means they can please their own constituents without “harming the fucking party.” *haha

HARP

This has gone beyond Hillary and OBama. This is about our fundamental right to have our votes counted in a fair and prudent manner. The DNC has been taken over by some the most liberal types, bordering on socialist. If we intend to keep this country from falling into the most dangerous hands our generation has ever seen, we MUST inform everyone we know to join us in this revolt. Time to take our freedoms serious folks. This is no joke. In a week that we recognize the sacrifices our fathers and grandfathers made on the beaches of Normandy, ( June 6 for you Obamatrons ) to free Europe from Fascism, it is Ironic that we now are on the cusp of pushing our own elitist crowd to the White House. Hitler was ELECTED folks and most Germans did not realize what they were in for. He too was exciting and promised glorious days ahead and we know how that turned out.

alibe4-Hillary

I imagine Hitler promised change. And he delivered. But change is a funny thing. Bush gave us change too. The Obama team seems to believe the ends justify the means. Like others we have known. The means do matter.

Sry off topic. obama suppost to talk with AIPAC first at 9 next at 10 And now? The phone is ringing MR. OBAMA? You throughing every one under the bus?

Hey, us ultra liberal socialists are in favor of counting the votes too! It’s big money that fixed Michigan for Obama.

Where were you when he was receiving death threats from Bushbots? I was here off and on during the whole Plame Nightmare. For Larry to come out when he did and speak out as loudly as he did will forever solidify his reputation as a Great American. He’s one of my heros.

Thank you for the list. It always helps to have a simple reminder of what an unrepentant liar and phony Obama is.

anything like that?

You mean he’s married? He’ll claim he doesn’t know her. They’re just acquaintances. “I know NOTHING about that woman who gave birth to my children and sat in Racist Rev. Wright’s church with me for 20 YEARS.” Michelle who?

InkSlayer

Who Michelle … ahhhh … She’s a woman that lives in my neighborhood who I know …. ahhhh …. not someone who I exchange ideas …. ahhhh ….. on a regular basis …. ahhhh …. My kids and her kids go to the same school, I think …. ahhhh …. But the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing this woman who said detestable things four years ago when I was …. ahhhh …. forty something years old should somehow reflect on me and my values doesn’t make much sense ….. ahhhhh …..

Kevin

This is not about hate, unless it is a knee-jerk reaction to the vileness of many obamaroids. It is about qualifications. It is about instances of intimidation at many caucuses. It is about being surrounded by and guided by overtly racist people for over twenty years, and then lying about their influence, access and the depth of their connections when it became necessary to show some distance. It is about a pattern over the campaign of saying the right things, and doing the opposite. It is about many members of the media, being overtly sexist in their comments about Sen. Clinton and overtly fauning over Sen. Obama. It is about the DNC doing whatever they can to block Sen. Clinton’s fair opportunity to achieve the nomination.
All these and many other issues cause me for one to have decided to not cast my vote for Sen. Obama, whether or not Sen. Clinton is his VP choice, whether or not she endores him, campaigns for him or not. That is my choice, my right and my duty. The DNC has lost a lot of dedicated democrats due to their machinations. They owe Sen. Clinton, her supporters and the core of the democratic party an apology. Their arrogance will prevent this. Their arrogance has forced a man of questionable character upon us. Hope and change is a fine message, but what of the messenger?

http://deleted AnninCa

Kevin…I’m on the same page. It’s not about Clinton at this point. She remains the most knowledgeable and qualified of the 3 candidates for the job. No doubt about that.

It IS about the way in which this primary was conducted. I learned a great deal about Pelosi, Dean, etc., as well as about Obama. They are truly not concerned, in my opinion, with fairness. They abused their position power to dismiss the voices of millions of us. They pooh-pahed the real role of the SD’s, making it virtually impossible for people to evaluate him on anything other than stolen delegate count.

They hijacked the process, and they have effectively decided that they prefer the consequences of losing us to McCain. I think that’s a politician’s right to risk. They also need to deal with the real consequences of their choices.

The Democratic Party is not trustworthy at this point. They didn’t win the nomination. They lost the will of the people. That affects every single thing they will try to do from here on. They will not receive the support of voters on bills. They will be viewed with deep mistrust.

They earned that distrust and are continuing to do so with egotistical letters such as what Pelosi has written now. Go ahead. Make us madder. Show us just how politically UNSAVVY you really are.

They have no authority to demand that the party cheer their nominee. He won. He moves forward. So be it. But they cannot demand respect.

He stole it through the MI compromise. He chose that. He lives with the fact that he’s not viewed as legitimate by a large majority of those 18 million voters.

We gave them the information. They know our perspective.

Pelosi and Dean continue to be insulting. No surprise, eh?

Let the Obama supporters pay for this election entirely. The DNC will see no money from me.

I’m looking for adult candidates to support on the Down Ticket, whether they are REpublican or Democrat. This year, I found out that I can relate better to moderate Republicans than to my own party.

That’s OK. It IS, indeed, time for a change.

HARP

Pelosi needs another face lift.

Kevin

lmfao

drkate

Agreed. Do we have a lawsuit here? the 4 michigan votes for HRC sent to OBama with no basis in the rules. puts him “over the top” by one delegate.

is this his set up to have the nomination derailed, and then claim racism, forcing the dems to endorse him in August?

Big asterisk on his back is right.

Adam

Both sides agreed to that vote split. Moreover, Clinton agreed not to campaign or participate in the votes in Florida and Michigan. How is it okay for her to now break that pledge?

Off topic, this quote is from Politico…

“It has been a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign, but Obama is not, one of his senior advisers assured me Tuesday night, going to spend a lot of time in the next few months wooing Clinton supporters whose feelings may be hurting.”

Seems we Hillary supporters have now been thrown off the bus too!

rw001

Hillbuzz gives this incredibly detailed description of the tape but then says “We have no idea if we are right, because we’ve never seen the tape.” Also, Hillbuzz offers no source for her story.

Hillbuzz makes it sound like Beckel said Obama was done for – but what he actually said was he was a “little worried.”

Hillbuzz says the rant occurred at the church – but why would Push’s meetings be holding a forum at the church? Weren’t the meetings in the Marriott?

It is a fascinating story, and maybe it is true, but right now there are lots of reasons for being skeptical.

If the tape does exist, I hope it comes out now and not in October.

here is the transcript of Michelle Obama’s offensive speech…

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/s_556214.html

i feel sick to my stomach…

mjc

i read this months ago, and it is offensive. it shows her class priviledge and how out of touch she is with working class and working poor people.

obviously the clintons have a lot of money, obviously the obamas do too, as would any presidential candidate. but at least ACT like you understand what it is to struggle financially. maybe she did at some point, but you can tell its been a while and she doesn’t really get it.

i dont know what she was trying to say in that little stump speech, but its just totally ignorant and shows her rich snobbyness.

she wants people to join the “helping industry” to help HER clean her mansion and watch her kids!

its belittling to those who are seen as mere “helpers” to rich people who are out of touch and live in a bubble.

i come from a family with nurses, craftsmen, etc. they are professionals who have a valuable skill, and nurses, a necessary skill that takes a smart hard working person. to insinuate that these people are “the help” is so insulting. it really turns me off to michelle obama.

if there is anything that really divides people, its money and class.

she may have grown up poor or middle class, im not sure, but she sure has made a lot of money in her adult life and married a man who is now a millionaire, but you can tell with words like this that she is living in a high class bubble. some people forget when they start to see dollar signs, private drivers, maids, personal chefs, etc.

Clearly, Chicago’s ABC affiliate has some information on this subject. The agenda clearly states that Cheryl Burton and Karen Jordan of WLS-Tv ABC-7 were MC’s at the event. Thus, these two supposed newswomen must remember something of that day. I don’t hear them talking? So do they have the DVD/Tape.

*haha…..good one.

I was thinking this morning about the insanity of it all. She put together such a deep and broad coalition. She won the major needed states. She took her baggage from Bill and turned it into an spiffy purse that we all admire. She came back and won big in spite of the obituaries, the negative press, the tying of her hands to the point where she could hard campaign against him.

And she loses? LOL*

Oh man…what the party leaders were thinking about is beyond my comprehension, other than they are relying upon ageism to beat McCain.

It’s going to be another disgusting race/age primary.

Where is the purported Michelle Obama “whitey” video?
By Michelle Malkin • June 3, 2008 04:27 PM

Simple: Larry Johnson, the main source of the rumors, is not, not, not to be trusted.

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/06/03/where-is-the-purported-michelle-obama-whitey-video/

http://www.hillaryclinton.com **== President & Commader-in-Chief Hillary Clinton **==

Simple: Larry Johnson, the main source of the rumors, is not, not, not to be trusted.

I don’t find someone credible who does not provide a reason other than Larry is “not, not, not to be trusted.”

I don’t know the history if any between that columnist and Larry but that statement leads me to believe it is contentious if there is a history.

I will let this story play itself out. I’m sure Larry will update us soon.

Hillaryfighter

SusanUnPC,

The idea of putting Hillary’s name on Nov ballot as independent is gaining traction. Somebody has tallied the cost and signatures for every state. It’s actually very very durable. We only need three states OH/PA/MI to completely screw up DNC and Pelosi democrats. Can you please promote this idea?
I just wrote to Rush to promote this idea. I hope he’ll use his megaphone to promote this. Please write to Rush as well. Poltiics makes strange bedfellow, our goal now is to defeat Waffles at any cost in Nov. Please see the compilation…

http://www.marcysmutiny.blogspot.com/ MessyMarcy

If Hillary does not get the Dem nomination, I would like nothing more than for her, President Clinton, and Geraldine Ferraro to in the future start another party that would actually count votes honestly, fight for issues of benefit to the citizens of this country, and treat all citizens respectfully and as equals regardless of gender, race, ethnic origin, age or sexual orientation.

However, if a McCain/Obama matchup does occur for the GE, the last thing I want to see is anything that draws votes away from McCain and ends up putting Obama in the White House. I never thought I would think anyone could be a worse President than George W. Bush, but with every passing day it becomes obvious that Obama would be just that. I don’t like McCain, but he would not be as disastrous as Obama.

We need to think about this very carefully. If in a three-way contest, no one got the necessary number of electoral votes, the Presidency might end up being decided by the same people Obama has already bought superdelegate votes from. I would not like that result any more than I did when the Supreme Court decided the outcome.

It’s to laugh. They beauty of this media/”left” blogosphere collusion in nominating the glib nonentity is that the “left” does not care if the election goes down in flames…they have their hatred of Clinton to nurture them though the coming debacle.

Well all who does not believe in the tape leave it alone, find something else to discuss, it is taking hours for some of us to get on this site and if some of you know the tape is a hoax why even bother to hit this site over and over?

Makes no sense just to come on here to laugh or call Larry names if there is nothing coming out well go and get busy trying to make Obama president that should be your focus now.

kenoshaMarge

Like you it took me a long time to get the page to load. One of the first things I read was when Larry said be patient. So I will do just that. Calling names or stamping of feet in frustration because of lack of instant gratification will not get results any faster. Remember when Mom and Dad tried to tell all you kiddies that asking “are we there yet” wouldn’t make the trip go any faster?

Whoever or whatever, just hang on and we shall all see, or not see, what there is to be seen. I will now depart and be patient. Adults can do that.

victim.of.violence.of.obama.supporters

Did anyone else notice how the manner in which Obama spoke last night resembled that of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr.? And did anyone notice how his supporters behaved in a manner similar to that of the congregation of Trinity United Christian Church in inner city Chicago? This raises real concerns about Obama’s candidacy.

Karen

He came across as a very angry black man.

Mel

Last night Obama claims: I am the nominee of the Democratic Party for President

Obama only has Pledged Delegates of 1,763, required pledged delegates to claim being the nominee in the first round at the convention required presently with stolen votes and all is 2118 pledged delegates!

Obama is 245 pledged delegates short of the number required!

Therefore Obama is claiming a prize he does not have, but this is Obama’s tactic throughout this entire campaign!

So the Democrats have an unelected, self-proclaimed nominee which places Obama the equivilent of Nixon in stealing an election!

Why should Hillary quit, she shouldn’t, because Obama doesn’t deserve to have the support of someone who dirty corrupt Chicago politics managed to be used to steal votes and delegates and with the aide of broken democrat party rules of transparency at the rules commitee!

It’s Not Me

Here’s what I posted at Jake Tapper’s Political Punch today, but the pro-Obama moderator DELETED it. They delete the TRUTH over there all the time. Pravda would be PROUD. assholes.

Anyway, here’s the Pledged and Super Delegate counts explained. The MSM, DC elites and the DNC have propagandized the public into to believing BO is the nominee when he isn’t:

I love how the MSM and talking heads and the DC elites and the DNC have changed the narrative of this race. When this primary began, all we heard was each candidate needs 2025 PLEDGED DELEGATES to be the nominee…each candidate needs 2025 PLEDGED DELEGATES to be the nominee….each candidate needs 2025 PLEDGED DELEGATES to be the nominee…

Then FL and MI were seated and the number went up to 2118 PLEDGED DELEGATES to be the nominee (? I think that’s the current number.. they change it every day) and NOW, those numbers/RULES are IGNORED they are using the SUPER DELEGATES to get to that number (2118) WHICH IS BOGUS.

NEITHER candidate has the required PLEDGED DELEGATES to win the nomination. Everyone in the media knows this. Everyone in the media is LYING about this “process.”

Hillary has 1923 TOTAL Delegates (Pledged and Supers)
1637 = PLEDGED DELEGATES
286 = SUPER DELEGATES

BO has 2156 TOTAL DELEGATES
1762 = PLEDGED DELEGATES
394 = SUPER DELEGATES.

As you can see, which is clear to anyone with a brain, NEITHER CANDIDATE HAS THE REQUIRED 2118 PLEDGED DELEGATES. BO IS NOT THE NOMINEE and Jake and his cohorts are, once again, as they did with BUSH, are choosing our candidate for us. DON’T LET THEM. Stand up and fight the LIES.

They’re trying to pull the wool over your eyes again. Now that every state and territory has voted, NEITHER CANDIDATE CAN WIN ENOUGH PLEDGED DELEGATES TO BE THE NOMINEE AND THAT IS WHY THEY CHANGED THE 2118 PLEDGED DELEGATES TO include Super Delegates in the TOTAL COUNT.

DO NOT BE HOODWINKED AND BAMBOOZLED.

RealClearPolitics have changed the layout of their website today. And the content. No longer any references to yours and other pro-Hillary sites. Are they too lining up with the MSM? Is there no critical press left in the US beyond the blogs?

I honestly am so sick of all of this! It seems that the DNC has picked our canidate for us, and even after all that has happened, he still appears to be thier “golden calf”. It makes no difference if there is or isn’t a tape of MO, cause no matter what the DNC and his followers will defend him! Our only hope is that the rest of the country will NOT vote for him….. If they do, I fear for all of us who are not part of the black community………

s. hall

I have to wonder why the DNC has pulled out all the stops to make Obama the nominee over the objection of 18 Million Democratic voters. I also have to wonder why our Media has forced Obama down our throats. But the thing that worries me is Obama’s connection to the black muslims and his Foreign Policy advisors who are all Anti-Israel. Is there some kind of agenda to make a muslim President in this country? I wouldn’t have said that a year ago or even a month ago but its getting more and more obvious that Obama surrounds himself with muslims, people who hate this country and people who hate the Jews. Now I hear we must all unify around the Democratic Party nominee–or what? Do we get disappeared? Is this a veiled threat against us? I will vote for McCain and pray that they haven’t co-opted him too.

What will this site say about Hillery if she takes the VP place? Will you kick her ass like you do with Obamas??

http://lkcampbell.blogspot.com Lucinda

I’ll never “kick Hillary’s ass”, but I won’t vote for a ticket with Obama at the top. I wouldn’t care if my husband was his VP. That’s how strongly I feel that this man is bad news for America.

drkate

I’m with you 100%. Even if HRC is the VP (which I hope she does not take, anyway he won’t ask her)

We Will Remember in November!

CNN is reporting that Obama has asked Kennedy (ted?) to head his VP selection team…so I guess that rules out Hillary….YEAH. I did not want Hillary anywhere near Obama when the Sh$% hits the fan. UGH!

No, we’ll keep kicking Obama’s ass, maybe twice as hard; until all voters know the slimy truth about him. What’s it to you anyway? Go away.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is that the same conference where Bill Cosby took a beating from the liberal, black leaders because of some remark about the attitude of young blacks today? If so, that might have been one of the things that set Michelle off.

Hillary Grassroots Phoners:

We are still needed. Needed not just by Hillary. We are needed by the 18 million who voted for Hillary and who still want her name on the ticket, on the ballot and in the White House.

The campaign to influence the Super Delegates and to prepare them psychologically to switch away from Obama when the scandals and the polls show he can not win must be maintained. Phone, email, do both and recruit others to do the same.

There are legal teams being assembled to get Hillary’s name on the ballots of all states (except Arizona whose deadline has passed) as a write-in candidate.
We will support these efforts with blog information and education efforts.

This is NOT over. Yes We Will!

An old quote from Father Pflager about Obama’s faith can be found at this website:

http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=896

Keep up the research on Obama, I thought I had a quote from Michelle Obama from that 2004 Rainbow Push Coalition conference in Chicago, the point is if you do enough Lexis Nexis, library, and internet searches you just might find the exact quotes from that conference.

Keep going, you might find some interesting past quotes from Jeremiah Wright, Otis Moss, and other Obama friends in regards to Barack Obama and his character.

So, you’re pissed about the RBC killing franchise in America are you? You think fair reflection matters and that the DNC is being run by fascostalinists in the tank for Obama and his anti-Israel leftist cabal and it makes you want to vomit? Me too! Guess what? There’s something you can do about it. Senator Arlen Specter is considering launching an investigation of the DNC’s actions regarding Florida and Michigan. I have it from a completely accurate and reliable source that a show of support, particularly from Democrats, will help Senator Specter make the decision to move forward.

me too! thank you! Used the information from above to make my case.

s. hall

shtuey — I called Arlen Spector’s office but the man there said its not possible to do this investigation because of the Rules Committee’s decision on Saturday. I asked him if anyone was going to investigate what went down in this caucuses — where people were verbally abused and Obama bussed his people to caucus. He of course said that with the Democrats in charge of Congress and all the committees he didn’t see any way that the Republicans could launch an investigation. He said he has received a great number of calls from Democrats asking the same thing.

Hank in PA

IF the MO tape is for real, it is all over for BO. I HOPE it is real, but will remain cautious in letting myself get carried away thinking about it.

Part of the sad truth is that the rumor of the tape is totally believable based on MO’s media persona.

Wait and see I say!!!! Hillary should be the nominee, but BO played a good game in caucus states because he was more organized and had more supporters who are able to get off work, or are younger and have the stamina to show up — it sux

s. hall

HankinPa — I am sure the tape is real because we have all watched and listened to Michelle Obama’s anger. But the Republicans or whoever controls this tape must bring it out soon or Obama will play the victim. — They don’t want me to win — They don’t want a man of color to be President but I will fight for the right to lead this great country and you are going to help me fight.

The longer the Republicans wait to play their October surprise the more power Obama accrues and the more he becomes a cult figure to his supporters.

IndyBoomer

Curious look on Bill Clinton’s face last night during Hill’s speech…smiling, and like the cat that swallowed the canary. I’m hoping that means something is up. Perhaps an Independent run? Now I know it’s been said many times that the Clintons are loyal Democrats, but I’ll bet Bill is spitting nails about what the DNC did with MI and FL, and with Hillary’s power of 18 million voters, maybe he and Hill want to deliver the DNC their comeuppance. Also found it interesting that Hill asked us for our opinions and asked us to go to her website and submit our ideas. From reading the blogs there and other blogs, many of us suggested an Independent run if she didn’t want to take this to Denver….hmmmm. That could be very interesting. I’d send her $$ and vote for her as an Indy if that’s what she does, and I think many would do the same.

s. hall

indyboomer — I hope that Hillary will run as an Independent. The party has done everything to Hillary Clinton but put a scarlet letter on her back. There was a point at which someone said if she doesn’t quit the Senate should ostracize her. I don’t know how she can stay in a party that doesn’t want her. What they want are her voters –well they will never have us without her. I have left the party I have loved all my life and I hope she leaves too. Hillary would win if she runs as an Independent and so would all of America. Hillary or McCain no other option.

s. hall

I have to wonder why the DNC has pulled out all the stops to make Obama the nominee and I have to wonder why the media has anointed him as our savior. But the thing that worries me is Obama’s Foreign Policy advisors are all Anti-Israel. I would not have posted this a year ago or even a month ago but I worry Obama’s attachment to Black Muslims and the people who hate this country and the Jews. Is somebody trying to install a Muslim as President of this country? I just listened to someone on TV saying that we must all support Obama for the sake of Unity–Is that some sort of a veiled threat? I am going to vote for McCain and hope they have not co-opted him. I am beginning to hate the word UNITY.

grtphoto

I agree, the Unity argument is nauseating! Why should we encourage him or the party for their behavior? Who says his presidency would give us all what we want and or need? He just says he’s for hope, change etc. Doesn’t make it a reality. I am so done with all of this nonsense. I will not vote McCain, I will simply not vote.

alee21

I felt when listening to McCain’s speech yesterday, he was speaking directly to Clinton supporters, those that are centrist; he was clearly emphasizing change and distancing himself from Obama and Bush. I am persuaded by him, as are many other Clinton supporters I am sure. Obama and his crowd scare me. He may have won the Dem nomination through less than honorable ways, but he doesn’t have my vote, not now, not ever.

Sorry, off-topic, but today, we need a little humor.
I just read it at TM site:

“A little humor! I was over at Fox and am still laughing at this.(I don’t mean to offend anyone):

From Gretawire:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle’. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.
The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there!

LMAO at Gutter Ball. That’s the best I’ve heard.
http://deleted AnninCa

I think it’s just a matter of a power grab by Pelosi.

Think about it. You’re heading up a congress that has lower ratings than the president that started the war that everyone hates.

What would YOU do to recoup?

I think this is a lot more simple than we think. They aren’t that smart.

They are just people who are shooting from the hip.

Look at the decisions. Announce his nomination right when Hillary is winning her last state?

What kind of idiot pulls that who then wants to pretend to care about her supporters?

They aren’t that smart. That’s why they have 18% approval rating.

I’ve NEVER seen a congress so disrespected by the public. Is it any wonder then that Pelosi’s “letter” is met with derision?

She has no clout whatsoever. She has a stiff posture. That’s all.

She’s gotten beat on every single issue and will continue to get beat. This primary is a situation where they have spun themselves into insane thinking.

They won’t “hear” anyone.

Wait until it’s a real piece of legislation. Then when we say, “Whoa, no good.” Trust me, they’ll pay attention.

This election is just into chaos. They can’t hear. That’s that.

So be it.

We did OUR best. Hillary certainly did.

I’m moving on. What I’d like to see now is a real effort on the part of someone to go SD by SD and see where these people really are. I don’t want to toss the baby out with the bathwater. But my guess is the SDs who jumped to Obama aren’t really good representatives anyway. They should go by the wayside.

It could be an interesting deeper investigation of our Party.
so saddened

who made pelosi queen?
indypol

I knew it. The DNC back-up has begun already. The leadership is pressuring delegates to state their preferences. If Obama is the nominee, why all of this pressure? Because they know that he does not have, and will not reach 2210, which is the number of delegates in the *real* world, not some ginned up, post RBC-new math concoction that could become the subject of a congressional investigation.

Just as I suspected, reality is catching up with the media and the pro-Obama thugs in the DNC. Obama is dancing on straw, smoke and dust, trying desperately to explain why he should be the nominee when he doesn’t have enough delegates to hit 2210, the delegates he purchased to reach 2129 are on the fence (pending the tape and other pieces of dirt), and many other delegates are also on the fence, afraid of their own election battles down the road, saddled with a weak, divisive nominee who is virtually guaranteed to lose to McCain.

There is no nominee, people. Nothing has changed. She has the popular vote lead (and there’s nothing that Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Clyburn or Brazille can do about it), and he lacks the delegates to claim victory.

Once again, a draw. Your move, Madame President.
http://deleted AnninCa

No thanks. I think the Democratic Party is as corrupt or more than the Republican party.

but good luck!
http://lkcampbell.blogspot.com Lucinda

The DNC pulled out all of the stops to get rid of the Clintons—plain and simple. They want Bill and Hillary out of the party along with elderly people, women over 40, working class citizens, Latinos etc.
It’ll be interesting to see how they can win a general election with only the 17,479,990 people who voted for Obama, and I dare say that a portion of those wouldn’t do it over again considering what they know now that they didn’t know before.

so saddened

now, lucinda, let’s be kind. i’m sure he can somehow find 10 more to make it an even 17,480,000. course, you’re right about the ones who want their votes back. how about we call it 7,480,000.

hillary or mccain. no othe roption.

Gamzulatov

Okay, I am going to try and be respectful here because I see a lot of Hillary posters seem to be very emotional.

I personally think it is borderline treason to even suggest voting to continue the last 8 years of failed policies by voting for Mc Cain. But if you must, you must.

However, I think it is naive to believe that the other 18 million (or whatever the number is) of people who voted for Hillary are so rabidly anti Obama that they would sacrifice the future of our country just because their candidate lost the primary.

I think it is more likely that they are just average dems like me who favored one candidate over the other in the primary, but are now ready to move on and fix the country. I believe Obama will be the nominee and I voted for him. It seems like a lot of you don’t believe that he will be or hope he won’t be and that’s fine with me. That’s what democracy is all about.

But I can guarantee you that if he is not, you will never hear the kind of vitriol and divisiveness from me that I have seen here. I will vote for Hillary and get on with the process of uniting our party for the common good of this nation.

We sit here at the precipice of the future. This time, and this election are too important to squander on petty hatreds and personal feuds.

If we blow this, our grandchildren will be asking us why we didn’t step up and save the world when we had the chance.

Just my 2 cents for what its worth. You can go back to your bickering and raving now.

drkate

borderline treason? And you would be what, borderline fascist? Take your meds and drink your koolaid.

Gamzulatov

Okay now when you say “take your meds”. You are not actually prescribing medicine right? Because Dr. Kate, I am starting to wonder if you are even a real Doctor.

I mean what kind of Doctor would say such mean things? Why aren’t you out seeing patients? Are you retired?

Are you that crazy lady that they keep showing on the news and on you tube and the daily show who is leaving the rules committee acting all crazy and stuff.

I think they are trying to portray her as the typical Hillary supporter, but I don’t think that is true.

But you are a little mean. How about this, If you are a real Doctor, say something all “medical” to prove it.

BTW If you apologize for calling me an idiot I will accept your apology

annie

I will be able to proudly tell my grandchildren that I didn’t march lockstep with a pack of zombies supporting a candidate whose personality is shrouded in a fog of soundbites; and didn’t cave in to the pressuring of the now totally corrupt Democratic Party. My grandchildren (as my sons are now) will be proud that we stood up against misogyny and election rigging.

The Dem party will not change unless we teach them a thumping good lesson, people. Do we want to be represented by a party that apportions delegates to benefit one race only? Sen Spector said he thought the Dem apportionment scheme was unconstitutional. Do we want party leaders that pushes their chosen candidate ahead of who the people have chosen? Who bully the superdels into declaring their vote 3 months before they have to? HELL NO!

Nothing could be less democratic right now than the Democratic Party!

Hillary or McCain ’08!

Gamzulatov

I just hope their not marching lockstep into more unjust wars for oil or corporate greed.

You seem pretty upset. At least Dr. Kate didn’t call you an idiot. (I don’t think she’s a real Dr!)

I don’t really get the whole Obama’s a racist thing. I mean isn’t his mom white. Can you be racist against yourself? Or half yourself? Maybe, I don’t know.

Also if the democratic party is so mysogynystic (can’t spell that word), How the heck did Hillary get so far, I mean I would think they wouldn’t have let her rise to this level if they really were.

I’ll tell you what though, if Dr. Kate was a Dr. In my neighborhood I would never go to her and that is not because I am a mysogynist it is because she called me an idiot. and that hurt my feelings

annie

Fuck off zombie. Your leader will never get my vote.

Strawberry

Too late. You’ve treated us so badly, from being roughed up at my caucus to being hounded off of Kos and other sites to being stalked here. My voting for Obama would the same as a battered women going back to her abuser.
Kevin

Problem is that a lot of us have a real belief that electing obama is akin to electing our own version of Hitler. And if you look REAL hard at the preponderance of evidence that if it looks like a racist, walks like a racist and hangs out with racists, its a good chance that its a racist. Now I know that all the Obama apologists have come up with several dozens why he’s not, and he’ll just wave his hopey wand and we’ll all be healed and the future will be just friggin wonderful. But to a lot of us its a bunch of real seriously deranged, anti-white, anti-woman zealots. I don’t think I want Louis fucking Farrakhan with the president on speed dial. and I don’t think that there are a lot of Jews who feel like that would be a good thing, either. I am worried about the future, and I’m sure a bunch of good decent germans voting in 1933 felt hitler was their best chance to climb out of despair, he spoke to their hopes too. that turned out real well. no thanks, I’ll take my chances with the known.

so saddened

well put, kevin, and accurate.

imho, hillary would be terrific, mccain would be adequate, and obummer would be dangerous.

incredulous

Well said, Gamzulatov.

As a long-time supporter of the Clintons, I’ve said much the same thing.

November is about something far more important than whether we ultimately rally around Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It’s about whether we decide to reassert democratic principles and change the course we’ve been locked onto by neo-conservative extremists, or give those same people 4 more years to pursue it unchecked. Four more years now will probably get the country in a hole so deep nobody will be able to get us out again. We’d be left not only with the damages of 4 more years of unchecked Bush policies, but with a Supreme Court hand-picked and fine-tuned by the neo-con agenda. We could be stuck with that for decades.

Snap out of it, people! A vote for John McCain is a vote for the rapidly-deteriorating status quo. All grim trends would continue. On top of everything else, you’d be voting to put God knows how many more young American soldiers into early graves.

Facilitating the election of John McCain might feel like an expression of favor for Hillary Clinton and of disfavor for Barack Obama, but that feeling would only be momentary. The dire consequences would be permanent.

Roughly half of all democratic support is behind Obama. Roughly half is behind Clinton. Each side claims a majority, but that’s largely a matter of how the numbers are parsed.

It’s either party unity–with some sort of compromise alliance that clearly empowers both sides of the divide–or disaster for both. Unity or disaster? That’s the choice. We’ve all got to deal with it like adults. Not like angry children.

annie

Well said?!?! This jerk oozes sarcasm & disdain for all of us. If this is your idea of unity, you can all take your unity & shove it. McCain is no Bush, so don’t even try to con us with that crap. Really, why don’t you obots go back to Huffpo & Kos. We were all hounded out of those places…do you really think your lockstep drivel is welcome here?

incredulous

I would hope thoughtful discussion is still welcomed here. I’m sorry if you’ve found that it hasn’t been elsewhere, but anyone who hasn’t treated your opinions respectfully wasn’t me. You seem to think that all Obama supporters are your personal enemies, or enemies of Hillary Clinton. This is not so. And who does that sort of thinking serve? Does it somehow serve Hillary Clinton? I can’t imagine how.

I’m genuinely concerned that anger is blinding many of us–on both sides of the Obama/Clinton divide–to the bigger issues.

McCain isn’t Bush. I grant you that. But in a great many very important ways he might as well be.

Unity isn’t concession. You guys hold a lot of the chips. If Hillary Clinton is allowed to play her cards right, unity means she’s going to have her say about things. If you prefer to think of things in anti-Obama terms, think about it as keeping him on a short leash.

Jim

“However, I think it is naive to believe that the other 18 million (or whatever the number is) of people who voted for Hillary are so rabidly anti Obama that they would sacrifice the future of our country just because their candidate lost the primary.”

Did you take the time to do the same for those anti-Clinton Obama supporters who said they wouldn’t vote Obama if she was his VP? Were you thoughtful enough to do that? Or is this just another post trying to diminish the problem you helped create, like most Obama supporters have been doing since last night?

Thank you for writing this out so clearly. I have been saying this since yesterday when suddenly the superdelegates started being added to the elected delegate totals. Since neither candidate reached the “magic number”, whatever it is, both of them should continue to the convention. It seems the DNC is making up the rules as they go along with the manipulation of OUR votes. That is the reason I officially resigned from the un-democratic party and now am an Independent.

Memo to The Truth: Go away. You are not wanted here.
sotongiththatimightsee

As much as I would love this bombshell to be dropped today- the Republicans will not put this one today, tomorrow or next month for that matter! This will be their OCTOBER surprise! Having said that, they risk the chance of minimizing the tape’s impact if they wait to late. Obama has a core of followers that won’t be easily swayed. These people could care less what kinds of vile, deplorable, nasty things are said about America and white people in general. Most of his followers are white, yet don’t even care that their race and “their people” is being demonized and ridiculed by Obama and his gang of black supremacists.

I do believe the tape could break him..I really do! This will put an exclamation point on the fact that he CANNOT AND WILL NOT get the working class and older white women’s vote! He might as well drop out then and save his party..but I doubt he’d do that. He and his followers much rather go down with the ship, then switch captains!

My only wish is that someone like Sean Hannity would get a hold of this tape and put it out NOW..if only!

This was the same conference that Bill Cosby made very controversial comments regarding black people having “dirty laundry” and that young black people were not holding up their end of the bargain. There was a LOT of media there. If these statements were made, it’s in an archive somewhere.

Damn! Are all Obamaphiles stupid or just plain ignorant? THER WAS NO RULE TO TAKE YOUR NAME OFF THE BALLOT IN MICH! Obama did that to suck ass in IOWA! The DNC did not ask anyone to take their name off the ballot. I say again…THE DNC DID NOT ASK ANYONE TO TAKE THEIR NAME OFF THE BALLOT!
Obama did that to garner favor with Iowa so that those voters in IOWA can feel special with their “FIRST IN THE NATION” status! Jesus H Christ!
You really can’t be this stupid can you? You come here with some lame ass argument that even a 5 year old knows is false…Get a damn life TOOL! move out of mam’s basement and leave the X-Box alone already!

Obamabots don’t care about facts. They don’t care about voting records or slimy associates. They don’t even care about all of conflicting statements. All they care about is maintaining their illusion that he is The One who will change everything. What everything will be changed to is a question that they aren’t even capable of entertaining.

Seems like his plan worked considering the fact that he is the nominee.

Gamzulatov,

Actually, many of us here on this site aren’t voting for Obama because we think he leans toward socialism, has wacky foreign policy ideas and advisors who will take us back to the wonderful days of Jimmy Carter — one man particularly – Brzezinski – who gave us the likes of the Iran we have today by overthrowing the Shah and helped form the rise of the Taliban with NO REGRETS. In addition, Obama has no experience, he’s an elitist, and is most likely a racist. And you have the nerve to come on here and call THESE people treasonous for thinking of voting for McCain?

McCain is not Bush. He’s ticked off enough of the conservative right for me to know this is true, and he’s been known to reach across the aisle. For many people on here, this has nothing to do with Hillary losing. It has more to do with people feeling that Obama would not be a good president.

Gamzulatov

Well now those seems like reasonable concerns.

You didn’t really tell me which of Obama’s policies are socialist or which policies are wacky but I am sure you have some ideas.

I will tell you that I am not sure that brezinski is or will be one of Obama’s advisors. Although he did endorse Obama. I believe this link may be part of the numerous smear campaigns that have circulated via email.

I found a lot of instances mentioning him as an advisor by googling, but none of them came directly from Obama or any reputable news source. I could be wrong. But until an official Obama source states that he is an advisor I will have to take that with a grain of salt.

I do agree with you that McCain was not a favorite of the neocon crowd but I believe he is owned by the lobbyists and is misguided in his approach to foreign policy. I just think Obama and Hillary’s platforms are closer to each other than Hillary and McCain’s

BTW Did you see DrKate call me an idiot? What a meanie! I am beginning to doubt her medical credentials.

AnyoneButClinton

The race was for delegates, not popular vote. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the english language would understand that.

If popular vote was the metric, Al Gore would have been president. HRC tried hard to move the goal posts again and again, but to no avail the system that McAuliffe and Ickes created came back to bite them. If only she didnt listen to Mark Penn.

Johnny

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the english language would also understand that superdelegates exist and can be swayed at any time even with arguments such as ‘I received more votes than anyone else in history’ or even ‘Im a Yankee fan, vote for me!’

The Kos Krowd and their effeminate leader dont seem to understand this.

Karen Jordan, a respected Chicago news anchor for the local ABC affiliate, co-chaired the Ranbow/PUSH women’s luncheon. She was there. She can immediately confirm or deny the reports that Michelle used the word “Whitey” on that occasion.

Unfortunately, she has not returned my calls. Her office number is 1(312)750-7777.

Perhaps she will speak to YOU.

If she and all others present at that event continue to refuse to offer any comment — their silence tells much.

The race was for delegates, not popular vote. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the english language would understand that.

***********************
Yes, we know this. The point is, it goes against the DNC Constitution to take delegates from one candidate and give them to another. Supers are not normally “forced” to declare until the convention, and Hillary being ahead in the popular vote shows voter intent, and therefore is a valid argument to make to the supers, who have to decide if the candidate is most likely to win come November. Remember, supers can change their mind up until when they vote at the convention. Nobody should be declaring Obama the “winner” just yet. In a perfect world, the DNC should now say… Okay, you both run now against McCain, like you both got the nomination. Bring your cases to the convention and may the best candidate win. But the way this was played in Obama’s favor is just wrong, and it’s setting a bad precedent for the future.

But, of course, we live in Bizaro World.

Anyone who knows anything about the process would understand that.
AnyoneButClinton

A bad precedent for the future, Ed, would have been to let Florida and Michigan hijack the process by going against the DNC. Hillary claimed Michigan was not going to count until she needed it. Too bad she didn’t get her knockout on Super Tuesday.

At the end of the day, if you are progessive or a democrat you back the candidate. If you are angry and irrational you back McCain. So good luck with that.

Its not about Hillary anymore.

Also, I didnt see Hillary supporters complaining about super delegates when she had 100 lined up before the primaries even started. Its easy to cherry pick arguments when you are looking for anyway to win.

To Anyone but Obama, let me assure you that all politicians play to win anyway they can, and Obama’s tacticts at caucuses remains scadnalous. Shoving and intimidating older caucus members for Hillary, giving out intentionally incorrect info about where caucus meeting were to be held therefore stranding many, etc. The abuses went on state by state. Mr Pure used Republicans [and I personally saw] his placards and direct mail , and telephone blitz, directing all Republicans who were anti Hillary to sign up and vote DEM for Obama, as they could switch in November! This was heavy duty in Nevada. Really classy. Cheesiest tactics including Obama praising Reagan to right wing newspaper in Reno,Nev.

In Alaska, Mr Democracy used the GOP/Rove playbook and employed almost identical GOP Harry and Louise ads that attacked Hillary’s universal healthcare on every level including lies that it was “too expensive” and would fail, bah, blah. This from Barrry the pure. He’s a politician just like Hillary and he will do, and has done ANYTHING possible to WIN.

Like calling his grandmother a racist, like dropping Wright, disowning pal Pfleger, like pretending to disown Samantha Power the pal who called Hillary a monster when she shot her foul mouth with f**k and such to news groups in Scotland and England. Forget his economist in Canada re NAFTA
who “winked winked” and said he’s saying one thing now, but later he’ll come around to NAFTA. A Chicago prof from his elitist lefties at Univ of Chi, showing poorest of judgement.

Hey, I could go on about Obama’s slick political skills and dirty tricks, but I guess when Obama uses them, it’s ok.

Obama gladly exploited the Clinton hate to get where he is today, and the DNC allowed it to happen. The Clintons saved the DEM party from obscurity in the 1990′s, and this is how the DNC leaders show their appreciation. I didn’t know Democrats were so good at backstabbing and letting their enemies hijack the primary to stop Hillary from winning.

Obama supporters — how does it feel to know Obama, a black man, is being exploited by Republicans just to stop the Clintons from getting into the White House? Does it feel good to know you’ve been used? Does it feel good to know the media helped the Republican agenda just like they helped cover up most of Bush’s lies and criminal activity? Did you forget how much the media is in the bag for the Republicans? Yes, even CNN and MSNBC. FOX defending Hillary is textbook reverse psychology.

Feel free to ignore the reality of our situation. Just go back to getting high off Obama’s speech deliveries, ratings-winning smile, arrogant posturing and childish gestures. I heard that’s what got Bush in the White House. Twice!

From Gretawire:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle’. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.

The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there!

alot of people are saying they are sending their

what say you?
is there a mass outcry for indy from everyone here?
i would like that to be a movement.

incredulous

I’m afraid that would just be a different route to guaranteeing the election of John McCain. It would eliminate the possibility of Hillary Clinton serving in the White House in any capacity as a result of the 2008 election, and would very likely destroy her chances of any future attempt to become president. Where are any of the former independent ticket candidates now?

I’m sure our republican friends would love it. Karl Rove would be so ecstatic it would be deemed indecent to show his reaction on FOX News.

It would officially and permanently split the democratic base in two. The future would belong to the republicans. Along with everything else.

Just my opinion, of course. Personally, I’d be back to deciding whether I should vote for Hillary or Barack, since I’d realize that which I chose wouldn’t matter anyway. I’d be free to cast my vote purely symbolically.

Faustina

One of the earlier comments stated that he thought people were playing games with this report. It appears that way to me too.

If the Hillbuzz(who claims they never saw the tape)description of the incident is accurate, then maybe some Hillary supporters are indirectly sending a message to Obama supporters and others who would know the actual truth. Just exactly what that message is would depend on what stunning comments were made by Michelle Obama.

I personally don’t consider use of the word “whitey” stunning. It’s offensive, but not a game breaker. I would consider condoning violence of any kind as stunning and would put it in the same category as the sins of Elliot Spitzer, who had to resign as Governor of New York for his indiscretions.

So if something like that occurred, it would be a benefit for everybody to send the signal before a lot of damage is done. And I suppose it would be better coming from an avowedly independent source than the Clinton campaign. What benefit there would be to stimulating everybody’s curiosity in this particular way is not clear to me at all except that we know we aren’t likely to hear this kind of news from the MSM.

I can’t see the benefit of spreading the rumor, especially at this point, without somebody having the actual tape in hand and willing to release it immediately.
Victor

Larry,

I do have a question about the recording. Is it possible that there are two damning tapes out there? The supposed quotes that Booman released featured Hurricane Katrina, but the Hillbuzz post states that the DVD was made in 2004.

LBJ’s Love Child

I have no doubt there are NUMEROUS recordings of Michelle being Michelle (to varying degrees). Some are high explosive, some are incendiary, and some are nuclear.

There will be a DVD of “Michelle’s Greatest Hit-Jobs” released this fall, I’m sure.

Deep Truths

Glad you’re back up Larry. Keep fighting the Good Fight. Its about COUNTRY FIRST, PARTY LATER.

Hillary Democrats, the Clintons have the people on their side.

Obama Fucktards – you’ll get yours. Your tantrums only makes the hate grow stronger. You and Obama are more hated EVERYDAY than you realize. Good show.

Just Wondering

Hate? Is that what you think the democratic party is about? Is that your primary motivation?

Maybe you should check out the Stormfront website. You might feel at home over there.

Unfortunately, this is just verification of how wrong this BO candidacy is. No surprise – they were coarse as their “fans” are from the beginning.

About Hillary’s speech last nite -

That was our candidate last night – her speech was so exHILarating!!

She is so amazing – so right for America. When you juxtapose Hillary and the “other” wow – like sunshine to shit.

Why people are using that 18M supporters figure, I don’t know – she has gained hundreds of thousands each day – she did it the hard way – the old fashioned way – ALL BY HER own EFFORTS…..as opposed to puny u pony whimp being CARRIED by the scum known as DNC ‘leaders”(ha ha ha ha).

{{{{DENVER OR BUST}}}}}

I am a CLINTON Dem and I will from this day forth only vote Clinton or her supporters.

America deserves nothing less and certainly not the BURDEN of carrying an unqualified candidate.
What sellar lunacy by the asinine former D party – now outed as the LOSER Party.

It is so heartening to know that only a low percentage of voters are lemmings – oh, oh, that was another wonderful thing last night – I did not watch the media as I have had their number for several years, but I read about their heads exploding because she is now the WINNER and she let them know she ain’t backing down.

Ladies and Gentlemen – Hillary is the embodiment of what is right in America. After the nightmare of the Bush administration – sorry, we ain’t carrying no whimp with no plan(not to mention the attitude problems, etc, etc) so the LOSERS can have a “pocket prez”. Nah, we want and deserve the real thing!!

Go Hillary Go!!!!!!

Her name is Karen Jordan, and she is a weekend news anchor for ABC

the Rainbow/PUSH event in June of 2004.

She was there. She heard Michelle Obama speak. She can confirm whether
the woman who would be First Lady used the word “Whitey,” or if she
said something else intemperate.

As I note in the post below: You do not need video of Abraham Lincoln

http://www.hillaryclinton.com **== President & Commander-in-chief Hillary Clinton **==

Contrary to the troll hallucination there is no nominee until the convention in August. Last night Hillary did not concede. She doesn’t have to. In fact she and her people are working to phones the rest of this week. And Hillary asked for her supporters to contact her and we have and most are telling her to fight on!

Today she maintains her position of not conceding at the AIPAC Conference, Washington, DC.

As a senator from New York, who has talked way too much, I have seen the tragic toll of terrorism on 9/11 here at home as well. My support for Israel does not come recently or lightly. I know it is right in my head, in my heart and in my gut. And that is exactly the commitment we need in our next president – a Democratic president, because the Democratic Party’s strong commitment to the state of Israel since the days of Harry Truman endures today. It is one of our party’s most cherished values and it will continue under the next Democratic president.

I know Senator Obama understands what it is at stake here. It has been an honor to contest these primaries with him. It is an honor to call him my friend. And let me be very clear: I know that Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel. I know that Senator Obama shares my view that the next president must be ready to say to the world: America’s position is unchanging, our resolve unyielding, our stance nonnegotiable. The United States stands with Israel, now and forever.

Let me underscore that I believe we need a Democrat in the White House next January because it is not just Israel that faces challenges in the 21st century, America does, too.

She says only a “we need a Democrat in the White House” and that could still be her.

So keep contacting ALL the SD’d, the DNC, Reid, Pelosi, etc. Let then know Obama on the ticket is not acceptable! Let them know we will vote for McCain unless Hillary is at the top of the ticket! Let them know not only will you be voting for McCain but you will be actively campaigning for him!

We have the power to stop Obama from getting the nomination. There are more of us that voted for Hillaty!

The DNC thinks they handed the nomination to Obama. If they can hand it to him, they can hand it right back to Hillary!

KEEP FIGHTING! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR QUITTERS!

As you can imagine, many of us are on pins and needles waiting for more info. Not just becuase it may or may not give Hillary a renewed chance, but also because if Mrs. Obama is to be First Lady, we need to know about this…just a sense of when more information may be forthcoming would be helpful.

Also, what do your sources think of you making all of this information publicly available? Do they realize the republicans will lose credibility on this now that the issue is out there if they wait until the fall?

Clinton Says Goodbye to Campaign Staffers

June 04, 2008 4:30 PM

ABC News’ Kate Snow Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton visited staff at her headquarters in Arlington, Virginia Wednesday just after most of them had been told they would no longer have to report to work after Friday.

A staffer who was in the room said she invited all of her campaign staff to come to her home on Friday.

Before Clinton arrived, the staff was told that they would be paid through June 15th. But the bulk of the staff was told their last day of work would be Friday.

Junior staffers were emotional and some were crying and as Clinton left her headquarters, she waved to cameras outside.
Penny

Here you go, folks. Hey, it’s the least I could do.

The apparent content of the rumored “whitey” tape:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/200

Now do me a favor: Stay in school, or take some part-time classes. You might learn how to think critically. You might learn how to research and locate readily available information, such as the total number of primary-related, add-on, and super delegates that was needed to clinch the Democratic nomination in 2008. You might learn that it was Michigan, not Iowa, where Obama’s name didn’t appear on the ballot. You might learn that it was Sen. Clinton, not Obama, who got caught in a fib about Bosnian sniper fire. In short, you might reduce your startling ignorance and be able to apply rational thought to the process of choosing a candidate to support.

You know it is amazing that so many come on here just to laugh and tell Larry he is a liar and there is no tape, nada, nothing. Well if that is the case why come here every minute to check?

Obama is still running for president so find some other site to go push the Obama for president that is what some of you should be doing. I have never seen any thing like this some of you jump and wave that Obama has won, but yet you still find the time to go on every site to slam Hillary or anyone else that you feel is for her.

In case some of you have not noticed Obama is running against McCain, so deal with that, let the Hillary site and Hillary supporters discuss what we wish from now on, go beat McCain if you guy can that should be the focus now.

“Womans Luncheon

Monday, June 28, 2004
12:00p.m ~ 2:00p.m.
SHERATON BALLROOM 1-7

M.C.’s: Cheryl Burton and Karen Jordan, ABC 7

Keynote Speaker: Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.

Special Guests:
Shoshana Johnson, Retired United States Military
Michelle Obama, University of Chicago”

What makes you think Michelle Obama at a public luncheon mc’ed by tv reporters in the middle of her husband’s campaign for the senate, less than a month before he was scheduled to give the keynote address at the Dem convention, where John Kerry the Dem nominee was speaking the next day, could have given
a spittle filled rant about killing “whitey” as described by Larry and HillBuzz without it being noticed before now?

Seriously folks somebody is giving you false hope.

That’s what hope is.

That’s what faith is.

People have faith and hope in Hillary Clinton.

People who have seen the division of George Bush and the last seven years.

People who remember when Clinton and McCain used to work together.

People remember $1.00 gasoline and a budget surplus.

The DNC is throwing away 18 million moderate voters.

Independents that went Barack will go McCain in the fall.

Colin clinging to a fever dream that the Dem candidate’s wife is a raving racist when her children have a living white great grandmother, when there’s no evidence she has ever been, isn’t hope. And it’s not faith. It’s irrational hatred.

You have no reason to give up your faith and hope in Hillary Clinton but she’s not going to be president. She’ll still be a power in the senate as long as she doesn’t blow it now. I doubt she will.

We’ve all seen the division of George Bush and the last seven years. We’ve seen senators like Hillary Clinton and yes John Kerry and John Edwards give in to political expediency and vote for a war that never should have been fought. That vote and her refusal to apologize for it killed her chances as much as her poorly run campaign.

People who remember when Clinton and McCain used to work together.

That is not a good selling point. I want a candidate who is going to beat John McCain so badly he sits in the back row of the senate until he retires in 2 years.

People remember $1.00 gasoline and a budget surplus.

We’re never going to have dollar gas again. With a $9 trillion dollar debt we’re probably not going to have a balanced budget again for quite some time. You can face the future or the past. I choose to face the challenges of the future.

The DNC is throwing away 18 million moderate voters.

Not true. Obama would beat Clinton handily in CA right now for instance. Outside a few blog bubbles like this the vast majority of Dems, indies and yeah a lot of dissaffected Repubs will vote for Obama. I do a lot of phonebanking and canvassing for local Dem candidates. We’re sorting supporters out now for the fall. Even Repub voters are fed up with their party.

stodghie

idiot! all michelle does is run her daxx mouth. that you actually expect her to shut up for anything amazes me.

lori

the tape doesn’t exist because if it did, then someone can buy it off on ebay and it would have been released. if it were a tape that the trinity church sold, then it would’ve been widely available.

it makes no sense that the source of the video has been soley controlled by the republicans.
Where’sTheTape?

You might want to get some new “sources” Larry. If there was a “tape” it would be out there by now.

Trinity UCC sold sermons in the following format; audio tape, cd, vhs.

I can download tomorrow’s music, movies and games on the internets today. Where is the pudding? Because I was told I find truth there.

I have this to say however;

Wright – Pfleger – Ayers – Rezko – Farrakhan – Hamas

June – July – August

HOW TO REALLY GET TO NBC

Like many, I’ve been nauseated by the mouthpieces at NBC during this primary season. I used to work at the network a while ago. They are doing this purely because they want the Obama demographic. The network has been struggling for years now. The guy who calls the shots is Jeff Zucker, CEO of NBC Universal. Complaining to the shows themselves will not do much. However, there are some ways to hurt Jeff. 1) Vigorously protesting NBC’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics. That is Jeff’s baby and NBC’s biggest cash cow. 2) Convincing him there is a surge of organized online grassroots movements (women especially) to boycott all NBC News programs, given their biased coverage of the election. Again, he will panic at possibility of losing that young internet demo. 3) Threat of having his name specifically called out in traditional media (papers, tv, etc) in a national PR campaign to protest his negative leadership style at NBC. He will not want Immelt seeing that at GE. Finally, how to contact and harass Jeff directly. His email is jeff.zucker@nbcuni.com. If you want to call, dial (212) 664-4444. Say you are calling for Jeff Zucker’s office. Give a false name, say you are calling from one of the film studios or talent agencies in LA (Disney, Univeral, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Miramax, CAA, William Morris, etc). That will get you through the screen, and you will get Jeff’s executive assistant. You won’t get to Jeff, but you can make your complaints/threats in an organized, sane, credible, action-oriented sense. Enough emails and calls, trust me, it will have an effect. Jeff has always been close to his on-air talent. He’s the one pulling the strings on all the pundits and their guests. Scarborough is the only exception, and I believe he threatened to leave this past month. For people who care, hope that helps.
markg8

That’s clever. Call and lie about who you are and threaten what again? An organized, sane, credible, action-oriented sense? Um, what?

And let’s see you are, another messiah from Chicago, all pure and righteous. Barack reminds me of those over-coddled kids who’ve outgrown their strollers but the parents continue to indulge. He’ll need to get up and walk on his own one of these days. For now, as he likes to say, he gives a hell of a speech. So do some of my profs.

Where’sTheTape?

What happened to Larry and Susan Hu. This insane hatred they have for Obama- it just doesn’t make sense. Why risk ruining your rep and looking like Larry Sinclair. Just bizarre. Face it- even if there is a tape (which is looking more and more doubtful) it is not as you described it. What I find more interesting is how you and Susan ended up so filled with a irrational hatred that you’re willing to peddle lies and half truths. This whole website is weird.
jcless

Don’t give up on Hillary, folks. I sent my second email to pne SD D. Parker and he sent me an answer today saying , McCain was too expensive, he was too old to leaaarn about the economy now, and to keep the faith and give them a chance.

I take that to mean wait until the convention when the delegates get to vote or maybe he has enough friends who are superdelegates that he can pursuade
them to vote for Hillary.

I saw him being interviewed on Fox yesterday before the Primaries were over and that’s what reminded me to send him another email. He was one of those unpledged SD and he said he was waiting until the Primaries were over and who faired better on the economy. He still hasn’t come out for anybody so that gives me a litlle hope.
Mr.Progressive

OK…just off of work, where is this tape? I have deliberately avoided TV and Internet all day so I could enjoy the train wreck. Don’t tell me that all that hype about the tape dropping was Bullshit!
gotalife

I got banned at TPM for posting this and no tape.

Geez.

Mr.Progressive

WHERE IS THE FUCKING TAPE!

Mr.Progressive

I can’t believe this piece of shit! I have no more than 5 articles saved from yesterday talking about the Obama tape dropping today. I actually e-mailed friends and family that support Obama to gloat and tell them that he was finished. I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT…Thanks for nothing Larry. You’re making us Hillary supporters look like psycho’s and that’s a shame.

Walter

” I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT…”

If it quacks like a duck…

stop Hussein

there seems to be a lot of smoke with this story, probably a fire there. With Michele O. I don’t doubt anything that woman may have said. She’s friggin scary! hopefully the GOP has it and is holding on to October..

Mr.Progressive

That’s fine if it’s true, but we were all told something different. I watched fox and Friends yesterday morning and saw Bob Beckel say this tape would be released tomorrow.

yesterday, I sent the link to this site, and Hillbuzz to all of my friends, and gloated about the flaws of their candidate. I told them that was why Hillary didn’t drop out, because she new the tape was coming out and was waiting for the blowback. Now she has said she’s dropping out of the race…I can’t believe this is happening. If this tape doesn’t exist I don’t know how I can reconcile my position…I hate the world because I can never, as a Pro Choice Voter, support a Pro Life candidate. NEVER!

No Fraudz

Rezko was found guilty on 16 of 24 counts.

Breakdown of Counts

* Guilty on 6 of 6 counts wire fraud
* Guilty on 6 of 9 counts mail/wire fraud
* Not Guilty on 1 count attempted extortion
* Guilty on 2 of 6 counts corrupt solicitation
* Guilty on 2 counts money laundering

Convicted political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, found guilty today on 16 counts of corruption “related to a kickback scheme for companies that do business with the state” of Illinois, has surrendered to authorities.

Rezko, who is scheduled for sentencing in September, surprised even his attorney by opting to begin serving his time immediately.

“I didn’t choose that. Mr. Rezko chose if he was convicted to immediately start serving,” said Joe Duffy, Rezko Defense Attorney. “That was just the desire he expressed to us, and it was his decision.” [...]

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald would not comment on whether Rezko could catch a break in his prison time if he cooperates in other cases related to government corruption

Rezko will be sentenced on September 3, 2008, at 10 a.m.

He must have used the Hope defense.

meechu

All is not lost. She’s “suspending” on Friday which means she keeps her delegates. Suspending her campaign is NOT dropping out. It sounds to me that she’s keeping her delegates in hopes that something either happens to Obama (as in she drops the tape on the News Media) or they give her a spot she can stomach. Obama definitely has a severe case of indigestion right about now.

Mr.Progressive

Where is that Fucking Tape. I have been reading everywhere and I don’t like what I have been reading.

If this tape was sold on DVD by Trinity why hasn’t anyone else seen it (just 5 people).

Why has Larry changed his story? He said it was Michelle, Farrakhan, and Rev. Wright on a hate whitey fest. Then he changed it to something that a former President, Bill Cosby, and John Edwards all attended and there is no other footage available.

Larry is making us look like fools. I looked at a link of the luncheon where this took place and she isn’t even listed as a speaker, but Jesse Jackson is…If this tape truly existed there would, without a doubt be more than one copy. It strains credulity to think that there are only a handful of these tapes available, and they are only in the hands of Obama’s enemies (no one impartial to either side holds a copy, no independents, nothing)

I’m really upset, because we were all told that the tape was going to be posted on monday, then Larry said today…this is unreal.

Ricardo

So where the f*** is this DVD “sold by Trinity church”? Should be COPIES around instead of just rumors. All the idiots on this blog believe in UFOs too I guess.
Barry O

I am inclined to be believe there’s something to these reports. But one question I have is why Trinity would sell DVDs of a Rainbow/Push event that was not held at the church?

Ricardo

Why would you be ‘inclined’ to believe the DVD exists? Its been roumored to exist for over 3 months and not one copy has been produced. Of course, you are ‘inclined’ to believe it exists for the obvious reason: you hate this woman and you hate her husband and you desperately want your hate justified. Can you say ‘Swift Boat’ w/o your heart longing for a repeat, for the wonderful fulfilling lynching in the court of contrived public opinion . . . don’t it just get you warm and hard down there . . . getting a chance to bone a Dem one more time . . . even if it is just with another of Rush’s ever present I-AM-A-Man cigar props.

Lisa v

Okay Larry, I’m guessing you’re trying to get your hands on this video. Come on over to Hillaryclintonforum.net when you have it, we’re waiting.
Ricardo

This is the FIRST lie Larry has ever told us . . . I feel betrayed. I am also an idiot,confined to the insane asylum in Weston, West Virginia, the product of one of the Cheney/Cheney unions.
http://minnesotavalues.blogspot.com Retired Spy

This has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime – for sure …..
Mr.Progressive

It’s sad, and now Clinton is dropping out of the race. I guess I really will have to vote for BO, because I can’t, in good conscience, vote for a Pro Life candidate.
NeedProof

She’s dropping out, Larry.

NEED THIS TAPE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it happened where you said it happened (in a public forum) in 2004, it should be easy to get. Too easy. That’s why I don’t think it happened there or it’d be out by now.
John W Mccant

I just got off of the phone with a friend of Larry’s who told me their is a tape and its Rezko and Michelle making fun of bloggers with bowl cuts. I know its out there now
spiro

In search of the DVD…assuming it exists. I’m hoping, like most of the rest of you. If all of the speeches and panels at that event were videotaped, then there would be several hours of video. You can put about 2-hours of video on a DVD, more depending on how you “compress” the video on to the DVD. So, it’s likely there would be several DVDs covering different parts of the event. The church may have shot the video itself or outsourced both the shooting of the events and the duplication of the DVDs. If any of it was out-sourced, the name of the production company may be on the DVDs. If all the work was done in-house, then the church’s “Rosemary Woods” (you remember, Nixon’s secretary who made a few deletions of her own) may have already deleted the Michelle rant from the files.

As for local TV stations having video of the event in their files, not likely. Tapes are routinely re-used in a matter of days.

FYI. I’m a former TV news reporter (Washington, DC) and currently in the video and DVD production business in Chicago.
http://snunes.blogspot.com Susan Nunes

Both Cannonfire and the Volokh Conspiracy looked into the specific story alleged by HillBuzz, and it appears the story there is false.

That doesn’t mean the tape doesn’t exist of Michelle Obama; it just means there is no tape or recollection of MO going ballistic at this particular conference.
JOSIE

John
Your version of the tape is entirely different than the one with Michelle and Mrs Farrakhan at the Sheraton in 2004. So far we have three versions. 1) Michelle ranting about Bill Clinton 2) Michelle ranting about Bush and Katrina which can’t be in 2004 3) Michelle and Rezko Could this be right?
NeedProof

Susan, Cannonfire and Volokh said that they don’t believe it’s true, but they based that on the fact that there is no proof yet, and proof on this shouldn’t be that hard to get.

Let’s just file this under, “SHOW ME.”

Larry, if this was just an attempt at CIA information, I truly pity you.

If this is true, you should be given a high position in hte new Clinton administration.
http://snunes.blogspot.com Susan Nunes

The tape could exist, but it isn’t from this event. That is what I was trying to say in my post.
NeedProof

Susan, thanks.

Looks like I posted too quickly. ABC spokespeople state that their anchors emceed the event (as reported), but neither one remembers this so called rant.

They also have archived footage of the event, but Michelle Obama doesn’t speak in the footage.

False lead.

Hillary is done, folks. Don’t believe in false nonsense.

And, Larry, for crying out loud, don’t give false hope to people who gave their lives for Hillary these past few months.

TheTruth

Like I said…false. Thanks for digging up the facts and not just spreading the foolishness.

I knew it was fake as soon as Hillary dropped out of the race. Her people read these blogs and I am sure when they saw the reports they started digging to see if it was true. Once they found out it was a dead end and there was no ticking time bomb for BO they had to call it quits.

Sorry guys but it looks like you have been owned! I only speak

TheTruth

noproblama

You know, seeing that the Obama hate machine is attacking all of our blogs, I have an idea.

We have some time on our hands until Hill surfaces again, and while I’ve never even been to a pro-Oblahblah site, this might be a good time to start engaging in a little tit for tat, comeuppance, retribution, you know, bug the ever-loving crap out of them. See how they like it.

So spread the word and watch out Obamorons, we’re coming with every sordid alliance, past indiscretion and blatant inadequacy we can find – in other words his political career or what passes for it.

Who’s with me?
Kat Bee

Here’s what Joe Cannon reports on his blog:
http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/
Cannon tried to contact the ABC reporters who were moderators of the event.
He moreorless admits that his information is inconclusive, but tends to disprove the existence of the tape. ABC has no recollection of Michelle’s rant.
However, I note ABC admitted that they had footage of Shoshana Johnson who was on the panel with Michelle. ABC destroyed the footage after the story aired on the evening news. And, who knows the footage that HillBuzz refers to may not have been recorded by ABC.

The wheels of the bus are spinning in the mud. Need a push!
OneWhoKnows

Good Freakin God!!!! We don’t need to dredge this crap up now. We’ve got enough problems as it is!

Would you PLEEEEEEASE get over Gore’s loss!

It is a matter of public record in the Florida courts (if you would stop ranting long enough to actually get off your a$$ and read it) that Gore and his lawyers were the ones who brought all the lawsuits!

Anyway, 3 different independent groups counted all the votes 38 total times in Feb. & Mar. after all the dust had settled. They used 6 different models and interpretations of what all the different types of chads could possibly mean, and even with the most liberal interpretation BUSH STILL WON BY 98 VOTES!!!!!! The real reason Gore lost is because he failed to WIN HIS HOME STATE TENNESSEE! Even Moron Mondale managed to win his!

The results of these recounts was reported in the back pages of the NY Times, so its no wonder no one actually read it. No one actually reads the Times, they just use it to line birdcages.

Btw just so you won’t think i’m some Bush-lover, i’m not! I voted for Gore but unfortunetly i live in Arkansas.
angrybitter

If the tape exists, it would be better to drop it AFTER Hillary exits so the media doesn’t hit her as hard.

Superdelegates can change their minds until Denver and she is only suspending her campaign.

Of course, if you’re a Conservative, we want the tape shown in October!

Gamzulatov’s sendup is elegant – the pompous solecisms are almost but not quite over-the-top. That takes skill and restraint. Well done! Humor is much needed. Thank you.
rjj

Don’t care much about the tape, or the church, or the preacher, or the priest. Don’t care much about Michelle Obama’s rants, though she certainly does a fine job of undermining her consort. It should endear him to the guys-with-a-pain-in-the-ass-wife demographic.

Rezko, however …..

The quest for “The Tape” is like the quest for Dubyas military records. Depending on who the players behind the curtain are this tape might be like Dubya’s drunk driving arrest: discovered at zero hour but the “press” will be reluctant to cover the story until after people vote, um, in order not to influence the election.

I believe Hillary is the strongest candidate. Obama is an very nice suit, empty, but a very nice suit. The republicans did a good job putting up a moderate, they may win this election after all. Especially, if the dems pass this carbon bill that will raise gas prices. What are they thinking?
