GOP Rumor: Michelle Obama “Whitey” Video Lurks

Republicans play the race card

Rumors of a mystery tape showing Michelle Obama “Ranting And Raving Against Whitey” in Trinty United Church of Christ are circulating across conservative blogs. Bryan McAffee at RightPundits.com writes:

Well, I debated whether to even post this or not. I’m not usually into rumor or innuendo, but what the hell, lets have some fun. Larry Johnson over at No Quarter has apparently learned (he has 4 sources on this) that a video tape exists of Michelle Obama railing against whitey at Rev. Wright’s church. You can read the story here.

Of course, if true, the implications are going to be very far reaching and we will either see SDs start to go for Hillary in droves, or McCain wins in a 50 state landslide. I don’t know if this will turn out to be a legitimate tape or not, but there is a lesson in here for both parties to learn. The reason why people who have only served for 2 years as a Senator don’t run for POTUS is not about experience per se, its about vetting… The fact is, Obama has not been vetted. We do not know everything that he has been through.

As to why the tape has not yet surfaced, rumor is the GOP is holding it for a fall surprise. I’m sure Hillary wishes she found that tape first (if it exists).

Here is an excerpt from the story he refers to:

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. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright’s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time.

Now rumors circulate on the internet all the time, but some larger websites are picking up the story as well. Townhall.com, filled with some of the more ignorant opinions on the web has a link to the rumor page as well. And while their authors’ views are despicable, Town Hall writers are often the conservative voice of television punditry.

But more than that, if true, it could fuel further G.O.P. propaganda on the internet.

Videos such as the following aren’t helping:

Obama campaign rally, Madison, Wisconsin

Fox News jumped all over it, as well as Tennessee GOP.

Most likely the “Whitey” video is just an internet rumor. However, one thing is certain: Republicans have already begun playing the race card.
