Michelle Obama Denounces Whitey
Though still unconfirmed, the persistent rumors that recordings have been made of Michelle Obama denouncing "Whitey" are becoming ever more concrete. MyTownTalks even has a partial transcript:
Once again, the white man keeps us down, what's up with Whitey, Why'd he attack Iraq, Why'd he let Katrina happen, Why'd he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.
Whitey is so evil, he not only oppresses genocidal socialist dictators, he even causes bad weather. What won't Whitey do to keep the rest of the world down?
This does sound like something the affirmative action Ivy League millionaire would screech to the applause of her husband's mindless swarms of roach-like supporters.

It would be best if it came out right after he actually gets the nomination, but this should be interesting either way. Maybe I should go ahead and invite myself to visit my friend in Denver in August.
BTW, I don't have much doubt she's said such things - her seething is palpable - but we'll have to wait and see what these folks have.

The only thing that would make that video, if it truly does exist, more explosive is if it also shows Barack nodding along or even cheering enthusiastically to his wife's insanity. Even without that, I think he's going to have a very hard time throwing wifey under the bus.

If the video exists I suspect it wont be used until some time in the fall for maximum impact. Maybe just after the DNC convention and Osama is crowned King.

I'm not buying this particular one. If there was something there, it'd be out there right about now. This has the feel of one of those rumor/innuendo/fictitous invention thingies. So far, anyway.

I think people should be extremely cautious about buying into this one on the basis of rumours. It all looks a bit suspect to me, it looks like a smear campaign.

That picture above is perfect:Ivy-educated millionaire black lady wearing $5,000 pearls raises the fist for the downtrodden and preaches...preaches...Socialism!

BOO Hates Whitey!
Well, if it does come out, the MSM won't show it, so it will get very little play.
MessiObama is the MSM god.

The back spin is on this already.
Why did he? = Whitey according to the damage control machine working on this. The rationale is that BOO was talking about President Bush in her complaints, not 'Whitey.' Though President Bush is white.....
At this point, there is probably a 'video.' If it is of any real significance, that is to be found out.
The jury is still out on the BOO video.

Obama rally does believe he's God. He defines sin as sinning against himself.

There exists absolutely no evidence that any video, as reported by Larry Johnson, exists.
Following the outbreak of reports on the rumour of the existence of the video, a Fark user named “1000 Hurts” speculated that what would be presented would be a video of Michelle Obama saying “why’d he” several times and that the quality of the audio made it more or less easy to misinterpret the phrase “why’d he” as “whitey”. Note, however, that this claim was pure speculation; it was not based upon any actual known video or audio recording of Michelle Obama.
This speculation may be seen here.
Other internet forum users began repeating the speculation on other Internet forums. Unfortunately, in so doing they reworded and restated the initial speculation when doing so and, over successive iterations, the claims have been misinterpreted as fact based upon a known (though wholly unsourced and undemonstrable) recorded speech.
Individuals promoting the fraudulent claim of such a video — either because they wish for the claim to be true or because they are knowingly promoting a lie — have since utilized this misunderstood speculation as proof of the existence of a video; their reasoning is that the attempts to “explain” Michelle’s wording is evidence that those promoting the “explanation” must have seen the video. Larry Johnson has gone so far as to claim that the “why’d he” explanation was released by the Obama campaign, which is simply false.
It would appear that the alleged transcript excerpt is also based upon this speculation, incorporating the misunderstood hypothetical explanation of Michelle saying “why’d he” combined with an actual use of the word “whitey” in an attempt to show that the explanation, while true, does not vindicate Michelle Obama against charges of racially-tilted rhetoric.
I have concluded that the claim of any such video is fraudulent. No evidence for its existence has been given. Larry Johnson’s claim, issued today, that he has spoken to individuals who have spoken to individuals who have seen the video — thus asserting that he is two levels removed from actually viewing the video — strains credibility so far that it almost as though it appears that he is attempting to deliberately make the story resemble a poorly supported urban legend. Attacks upon Barack Obama should be based upon legitimate criticisms of his various stated policy issues — for example, valid arguments can be made that his positions on firearms restrictions are in direct opposition to the statements of the United States Constitution. Attacks upon Barack Obama that are based upon highly dubious rumour and innuendo are dishonest and dishonorable.

Regardless of a video, which is still to be circulated, BOO hates Whitey.

hillbuzz has some specifics:
The tape was apparently 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.
---------
And the tape was reportedly available for download on the TUCC website until the church took everything down because of increased scrutiny.
---------
It's entirely possible the thing exists, IMO.

If there is a tape - show it. If there are sources who have actually seen said tape - bring them into the sunshine.
Saying “I know someone who says they have seen the tape” isn’t good enough. I know people who say they have seen Bigfoot or flying saucers.
Anyway….. what’s the big deal about “whitey”?
