IF THIS DON'T SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU...

Joe Biden saying if Obama is elected, an international crisis will result:

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

API SAYS MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITE RACISTS" TAPE TO BE RELEASED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

Here's what API is saying about the tapes:

Do not doubt that the tapes are real. They will be released in the next 24 hours here in the United States. This is not a hoax, it is really going to happen. I will post later on and tell you where you can go to listen to them. They will be played in full without any editing.

Believe it if and when you hear it. Previous reports from API:

Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.

When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”

This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.

The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.

When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.

When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.
On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.

Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.

This is what API said previously about the tape:

The Recordings:

API has recordings of the conversation between API and Mrs Obama (Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API., and we confirm that the audio will be released to the public. In the last 24 hours, API has been consulting legal advisers on the way forward in order to avoid being sued by the Obama camp. API has realised that the contents of the tapes if made public may change the political atmosphere in America for ever, especially in the next few days.

Due to enormous reactions received, API now understands the impact of the statements made by Mrs Obama. The American people have reacted in a way we in API would never have expected.

Many have question why Mrs Obama would choose a little known online media group instead of the American media. API was chosen because of a Nairobi contact that did not like the way API was covering Barack Obama using information collected from American media outlets. The Nairobi contact prevailed upon Mrs Obama to talk to API.

The only thing API may have done wrong is not informing Mrs Obama that the conversation was being recorded. This is why it is taking time to release the recording while consulting a legal team because API wants to be legally safe from any Obama camp law suit.

Die-hard Obama supporters:

A number of Americans who are die-hard Obama followers have tried their best to intimidate API using all kinds of threatening methods when they call in and when they email us. They are implying that API is planning to destroy Obama’s chances to become the next US President. API does not have a direct interest in the US Presidential elections and we want Obama supporters to understand that. However, when someone who may become the next first lady makes such comments as in the story we have published, the public have the right to know. Intimidation directed to the publishers of the story is not the answer.

The delay to make public the recordings is expected to give time to Mrs Obama to come clean and tell the American people that her comments were not meant to harm anyone but that she was reacting to the media pressure on her husband. She should also come out and tell the American people that she will not discriminate those who are not Obama fanatics if she becomes the first lady.

We'll believe this story when we hear the tapes. Would anyone be surprised? No. In fact, I think most expect Michelle Obama says these kinds of things all the time behind closed doors. So it's not that big of a stretch.

TODAY'S OBLIGATORY MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE UPDATE: WAS THE VIDEO EMAILED TO GATEWAY PUNDIT?

The Gateway Pundit wrote the following today:

There's been a lot of talk about the Michelle Obama "whitey" tape for obvious reasons. A video showing Michelle ranting against whitey won't shore up any of those white voters that Obama lost after his G-D Wright controversy.

Now that Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign for president I thought that I would share what I had.
This was sent to me back in May:

I greened out the sender.
The link goes to a Yahoo group that is no longer accessible.

There is no mention whether the video was actually watched. It sort of implies that it wasn't. Certainly can't blame someone for not opening every attachment they receive in their email.

UPDATE ON "WHITEYGATE": DOES PASTOR MANNING HAVE THE MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE?

More claims from No Quarter that the "Whitey" rant of Michelle Obama exists:

The recording that shows Michelle Obama saying disparaging things about white folks is for real. It is not part of some elaborate dirty trick. The people who have seen her comments describe it as “stunning” or “devastating.” I have not spoken directly with the people who have seen the tape, but I have spoken to two of my friends who are friends with those who watched the tape/dvd.

Are they playing me? No, but it is a valid question to ask. Two of my sources, who have recounted the reactions of their friends who have seen the Michelle “performance,” live on opposite sides of the United States geographically and politically. They do not know each other and had no way of knowing that each of them was talking to me. This is one reason I believe the report of the “tape” is true.

I also have learned that Obama campaign knew about this “tape” at least two weeks prior to my first blog item on the matter. And they are not laughing it off as a joke. (Note to Barack: There are leaks in your campaign.) Ben Smith’s report on the matter only tells part of the story.
The woman from McClatchy who dared ask the question was verbally assaulted by Obama aides. She was treated as if she had made a death threat.

Then there is the matter of the email/disinformation campaign the Obama folks are trying. First they sent some of their bloggers an email claiming that Michelle said “WHY DID HE” rather than use the pejorative, “WHITEY.” And now the excuse is being circulated that somehow I, or someone else, is cribbing from some silly book I have never heard of until now. A campaign does not react this way to a fabrication.

I apologize for any confusion generated from our effort to get on top of this. We made the mistake of putting up the claims from Hillbuzz, but have no way of verifying Hillbuzz’s claim that it is a recording that features Michelle Obama with the wife of Louis Farrakhan. That is not what the sources who have seen the “tape” have reported to me.

The sources who have seen the tape report that Michelle says disparaging things about “whites” and that Louis Farrakhan is visible. There is no identifying information on the segment they have seen to identify the location or time when this was recorded.

Why does this “tape” of Michelle Obama matter? The folks who have it are working to elect John McCain. They are using it now to raise money for a 527 effort that will attack Barack Obama. I am told that they fully intend to keep this “off-the-market” until after the Democratic Convention. The Republicans involved with this believe that Barack Obama is a more beatable candidate than Hillary Clinton and see the tape as reinforcing an image of racial division that will hurt Obama.

And then there's this from Pastor Manning of "Obama is a long-legged Mac Daddy" fame. Listen to his comments beginning at 2:07. Is he referring to the "Whitey" tape? Or does he have pictures of Obama with crack whores? Only time will tell.

THE OBLIGATORY MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" VIDEOTAPE UPDATE: IS ABC SITTING ON THE TAPE?

Just finishing what I started:

It's also being reported that ABC-7 news anchors moderated a panel at the Conference that appears to be the one Michelle Obama participated in. If so, then it's reasonable to believe ABC-7 in Chicago has footage from the panel discussion. It's also been consistently said on the blogs since word of this "tape" first broke that a network has the footage and is sitting on it --- and that the network in question is ABC. Once again, if ABC-7 does have tape from this panel discussion, they could solve this mystery today by releasing it all on their website -- particularly the 30 minutes or so of Michelle Obama speaking -- so we can see once and for all exactly what she said that day. The ABC-7 anchors who moderated could also come out and definitively say what Michelle Obama said on the panel (or Michelle could come out herself and recount what she said). That would get to the bottom of this.

BLOGGER CLAIMS RUDY GIULIANI'S TEAM ACQUIRED THE MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE

I'm sort of stuck with covering this story now. Even though I'm growing very tired of it.

The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama.

Things will only get more interesting. Either way, Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.

Apparently this tape is tougher to find than the Holy Grail. And why would Rudy's team have acquired anything? Dude was only in the race for like 3 hours. It's starting to look like this is all orchestrated by Obama's people to get McCain's people to bite. If they did bite, that would be the last time McCain could challenge Obama and his racist/socialist associations. So don't bite you old bastard.

ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE: THE FARRAKHAN FACTOR

From Larry Johnson, the man who appears to be stoking the rumor fires on this one...

I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the political ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.

This is all very fascinating. Even by conspiratorial blogger standards. Although I have to say, Mr. Johnson's constant referring to "the Republicans" who have the tape is puzzling. As if (and he, as an unabashed Hillary supporter, would know) Hillary's supporters wouldn't run with this tape if it existed. And if it does exist, what does that say for McCain's qualifications over Hillary? I wouldn't vote for any candidate whose people were too incompetent to get this kinda dirt on their opponent. Perhaps this tape's existence is just a cleverly concocted rumor started by the GOP to convince Hillary to stay in the race and cause general chaos in the DNC ranks. Really. Ask yourself. Why IS Hillary still in the race? Might she be waiting on this Michelle Obama bombshell that will never come?

UPDATE: When moonbats attack! This comment is from another knee-jerk liberal in response to Larry Johnson's claims.

My old friend, Larry Johnson, knows about manipulating elections from his training with the Central Intelligence Agency. He doesn't want Obama to win the nomination for whatever reason, and he's in full propaganda mode to do everything he can to frighten the superdelegates. He claims to have a shocking tape of Michelle Obama ranting in some anti-white diatribe. He promises to produce this tape tomorrow at 9am.

From what I understand, it is a tape of Michelle Obama criticizing the Bush administration.

How you'd write it:

Why did Bush cut folks off medicaid?
Why did Bush let New Orleans drown?
Why did Bush do nothing about Jena?
Why did Bush put us in Iraq for no reason?

How you'd say it:

Why'd he cut folks off medicaid?
Why'd he let New Orleans drown?
Why'd he do nothing about Jena?
Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason?

How Larry Johnson wants you to hear it:

Whitie cut folks off medicaid?
Whitie let New Orleans drown?
Whitie do nothing about Jena?
Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?

Of course, the above take doesn't address Johnson's claims of a panel with Farrakhan. It's funny to see hippies at one another's throats.

UPDATE: IT LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA DID THE "WHITEY" RANT DANCE

We reported on this earlier in the day. Here are more details:

From Fox News...

FNC 06/01/2008 14:43:30: …>>> welcome back to our special coverage live coverage from puerto rico. just before the break, roger stone the republican strategist made the comment that michele obama used the phrase whitey when describing white people and michael brown says bs that is republican dirty tricks as usual. roger take it away. michael, you are in the wings. >> this has little to do with the general election and a lot to do with why hillary clinton is staying in the race. look, there is already a buzz in washington at least seven news organizations have contacted me. wanting to know how to get their hands on this tape, giving me more information than i had after i had spoken to each one of them. i now believe the tape exists and i believe a network has it. if this pans to out to be true based on michele obama’s previous comment that this is the first time she had been proud of her country which i think shows an attitude it is problematic.

Roger Stone reporting...



UPDATE: Interesting takes in the comments at Ace of Spades to this same story:

The most believable explanation I've heard is that he has a tape of her saying, Why'd he do this; Why'd he do that -- which sounds like Whitey do this; Whitey do that.

Following along with GRC, that means there's a 'longer tape', where you find out who 'he' is (Say, GWB). And releasing that tape will make everyone screaming about 'whitey' look like buffoons.

Plausible takes. We shall see.
