Michelle Obama rumor- October surprise

I now have it from two three four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at Jeremiah Wright’s church.

IF the republicans really have this tape then they need to release it late enough so that the democrats can't give someone else the nomination.

Interesting, imma go make some calls.

It really depends on what she actually said, if it's true at all.

If its something thats even close to what reverend Wright said then it will be over for Barack.

Nobody has seen it, but I've heard from a couple folks that they have good reason to believe it is legit. Pretty good party sources.

Yeah, this has been floating around for awhile. The first I heard about it was from someone in the Hillary camp.

I'm not surprised though. Obama is extremely liberal...but his wife is bat shit crazy and apparently a racist as well. I can't say that I follow up on her that much, but I have read a few articles about her, her views, and about some of her thesis work back in college.

Looks like the media 'golden boy' status is actually coming around to bite him in the ass. No one looked too closely at his past until now, and now all the stuff that should have been caught a looooong time ago is popping up all at once.

I have a feeling it's going to be along the lines of what Jeremiah Wright has said, if it's true at all. Jeremiah Wright may say things in a way that is unsettling to some people, but I have yet to read anything he's said that it outright slanderous. Everything I've read has been truthful. The most inflammatory things he's said have been quotes from other people that he used in his own speeches/sermons.

Regardless, it may be enough.

Hopefully, anyway.

I'm not sure "truthful" is correct - Reverend Wright, like many great inflammatory orators (white, black and otherwise), has a wonderful tendency of taking a kernel of fact and twisting it into a thesis that doesn't fit the context of the original fact.

For example - conflating support for "terrorism" in the Middle East through supporting Israel with both WWII (atomic bombs) and black South Africans in the famous "chickens coming home to roost" speech. It's brilliant oration, but intellectually disingenuous.

Regardless, things like the "United States of KKK America" coming from the mouth of the future First Lady would likely represent a total disaster for the Obama camp - you'd lose on both fronts, to both the intellectual moderate who sees through the propaganda and the common idiot undecided who is simply scared. Obama likely needs a big turnout to win, and that sort of video could well kill voter turnout.

Let us all wait and see IF anything ever does show up.
I have heard stories/comments of "Senior Members/Party Leaders/Party Sources" et al for over twenty years and Nothing ever showed up out of most of them.
Just enough is said to make people think that they heard or saw something.
This is just another way to spread mis-statements or falsehoods by way of rumors and innuendos.

Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Maybe they read this wrong and she's actually railing against Whitney. Crack is whack!!

[Munchkin03]

If this is true, then I would be disappointed, but not surprised.

I don't think anybody is verifying anything, we're just disclosing what we've heard.

Also, this is politics, I really don't care whether this rumor gets spread.
