Fun With Video (without actual video footage)

Well, the moment of truth arrived today. Larry Johnson's bombshell that would blow the race WIDE OPEN. He said awhile back ago that a video of Michelle Obama saying "whitey" was in the clammy, fungus-covered fingers of the GOP. Then a couple of days ago, he said that he had another bombshell that would BLOW THE RACE WIDE OPEN: FILE NOT FOUND

OK, I guess he wasn't actually in possession of the tape, but he had some details that would BLOW THE RACE WIDE OPEN and he would reveal them today at 9AM.

And he was true to his word. As it turns out, people who thought these claims were just general speculation were WAY off. Because not only was she saying these words, she said them with Louis Farrakhan, presumably during one of Trinity's regular "whitey" sacrifice meetings. Holy crap! I mean, we all thought he was just making general rumors so that he wouldn't be held liable for them. But as it turns out, he was making very specific rumors so he wouldn't be held liable for them. Of course, some people are never satisfied, they insist that he shouldn't be given any credibility because he hasn't seen the tape at all, he's just been told that it exists. By anonymous sources. Who aren't even associated with the current GOP campaign. But those people are SOOOO naive. They can't release any details now, they're saving this puppy for October! But they are, of course, telling the press about it.

Lots of people might think that this is just foolishness meant to scare people without actually destroying his journalistic credibility. But I know differently. You see, I'm privy to a great deal of these sorts of things myself. Here's some of the things you DON'T KNOW about some people you might respect:

DID YOU KNOW... that a friend of my cousin says he saw a video where Tom Hanks kills people?

DID YOU KNOW... that a guy I met on the street has a sister who saw a video of Al Pacino snorting cocaine??

DID YOU KNOW... that my barber's butcher's baker's barber is in possession of a video that proves conclusively that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't from Austria at all... he's from the FUTURE!!!

So the next time you see the next rumor like this, think twice. Because there's all sorts of videos out there. And they're all 100% real and are exactly as described. Even if they're described as potentially existing from a third party.

"DID YOU KNOW... that a guy I met on the street has a sister who saw a video of Al Pacino snorting cocaine??"

Joking aside, that one's actually pretty plausible.

"FILE NOT FOUND"

Is this what you're looking for?

No tape just what's suppose to be on tape.

I see you did find it...Pure rumor, nothing more.

I am certain it is coming. (none / 0)


What Obama has received so far were self inflicted wounds.
The Bitter comments, Michelle Patriotism and Rev Wright, were there for everyone to see, no need to dig much to find them. This is what we have seen so far.

But here is what we have NOT seen: dirt digged by the GOP.
Well I am not naïve, if you say I am ultra cynical, I won't deny it. So I have to believe that the GOP operatives must have been digging like crazy those last few month and have found "some" stuff. They are sitting on it and will use it around august, November.

Is it believable that they have a video of Michelle saying stuff like "whitey", that would not surprise me, she does tend to speak faster than she thinks.

Before all the hatred of hell is unleashed against me, I ask the kind reader to double-check with a dictionary the respective definition for hope and prediction.

Re: I am certain it is coming. (none / 0)

I've seen two lines of thought on this issue that leave me relatively conflicted. The first is that it is an issue in and of itself that the reaction to this rumor is not surprise. It did not shock me to hear that the tape might exist, nor would it shock me to see it.

But on the other hand, someone quite rightly pointed out that no person in a modern African-American political setting, much less one that would be filmed, would refer to white people as "whitey". That word is not only decades old, it has no teeth behind it. So it seems very unlikely and out of place.


If you're being chased by an angry bull and then you notice you're also being chased by a swarm of bees, it doesn't really change things. Just keep on running.
