Like Karl, I was skeptical, but via dre via American Thinker via Clarice come some intriguing details. So, possible rant-O!-riffic popcorn opportunity in the works.

Eh. Very skeptical until I see I see something. It’s too “perfect,” meaning it’s playing to the anti-Obama people’s attitudes. There lies danger: falling for a hoax.
I don’t know. The Rainbow/PUSH coalition thing sounds pretty verisimilar. Anyway, that’s why I’m qualifying it.
Also, if Hillary’s got the thing, she’s probably looking to peddle it where it would do maximum damage. It could have something to do with why she didn’t concede, and why she seems to think she’s got leverage.
If it’s true, will O! denounce his wife?
I agree with JohnAnnArbor, it’s too perfect. And seriously, Obambam was being groomed for greatness already by then, why would Michelle participate in such rants.
I don’t know, Clem. Why were they so slow to ditch the baggage? I think that in that climate, the rhetoric seemed kind of natural, and maybe they figured whitey wouldn’t kick about it.
Supposedly “The Tape” is in the hands of Rudy and will not see the light of day until fall (Town Hall.
)
To Clem:
It’s well-known around Chicago that Michell is, well… a bitch. Not exactly a pleasure to be around.
So, can I see her flying into a radical, racist rant as she works her anger up more and more? You betcha.
#9: I have heard the opposite – that she is a thoughtful, gracious person – never forgets a birthday, thank you, kind word, etc.
Who knows though. But I like her, even if she is a cuntbeast.
Well Lisa, that’s your problem. You like assholes. Then again so do I. Not in a biblical sense you understand.
The Michelle Obama tape is as real as “Caaaaandy Mountain, Charlie”.
Until I’ve seen it, and at least three other people say they’ve seen it (to avoid the possibility I imagined the whole thing), it doesn’t exist.
LMAO @ #11.
I like her too, Lisa.
she has power….juice even.
while i can imagine her righteously P.O.’d, i can’t imagine her frontin.
unlike hillary, who is a toxic sack of ambition and entitlement, and who does nothin BUT front.
At first I thought “hillbuzz” was a webiste of Capitol “Hill buzz” until I went to the site and it is an anonymous dedicated to Hillary blogspot started just this February. No profile. AKA it’s about as credible as that stopsexpred blog was.
hillbuzz.blogspot
i find it pretty hard to believe there is just one copy.
seems like if it exists, it would have went viral on youtube ages ago.
opposite – that she is a thoughtful, gracious person – never forgets a birthday, thank you, kind word, etc.
She never sent me no birthday card.
I don’t like or dislike her. I have virtually no opinion of her. Her coifed public personna is about as natural as Anna NIcole Smith’s boobs- may they rest in peace.
She is only important in so much that she may, or may not, reveal insight regarding her husband.
and ekshually a lot of ppl blame Clinton for 800,000 dead in Rwanda.
that is not unusual.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
(Incidentally, what’s with people not understanding the importance of watching what you say when you KNOW you are being videotaped? Didn’t they learn anything from the Simpsons’ Jimbo Jones: “Videotaping this crime spree is the best idea we ever had!”)
and i certainly do.
Romeo D’Allaire asked for 5,000 peacekeepers.
that would have stopped it.
ekshually, a lot of people are stoopid. I didn’t know Clinton was pulling the apron strings of the Hutus.
“She is only important in so much that she may, or may not, reveal insight regarding her husband.”
Yep. IOW, she’s meaningless. And tape or no tape, I really don’t think it changes a thing. She may indeed be a scared shitless brittle ass bitch, but Barack is proving to be a little teflonish to his groupies. She does have nice hands, though.
Oh, if the tape is real, Obama is done. Fork, done. To be married to someone who is such a racist …
If my husband were a member of the KKK, would ya’ll still pretend we were pretend internet friends? As being married to a white supremacist didn’t say something rather dreadful about me?
But, the tape doesn’t exist until I see it.
Will his supporters think it’s racist, though, Carin? I suppose you’re right in that his racist pastor has effected his campaign. So, an obvious, with smoking gun, racist wife would hurt him, too, I guess.
I just want to tell Michelle to stand up straight. Pull those shoulders back. When you are wearing a brightly colored sleeveless dress in front of the whole world, girlfriend, good posture makes all the difference.
The tape doesn’t exist. One of the claims about it is that Michelle says that the Black on Black crime needs needs to be shifted to whitey. Even the most backward gun clinging christofascist is going to be able to understand that this is ivy league talk for “Get whitey”, or worse considering the amount of black on black homicide as “Kill whitey”. If this were true, Obama would have been done long before now, he likely never would have made it to the Senate. I think these claims are being put out there because a certain percentage of the population will believe it and will spread it as gospel.
Also, if there is a western nation that is “responsible” for the Rwanda genocide, it begins and ends with Belgium. Which is not to say the Clinton response wasn’t a joke, because it was.
I say it doesn’t exist too. If it did, though, it would harm him MUCH more than Wright.
I’m not defending Clinton, but the massacre in Rwanda is the FAULT of the Hutus. Period. What could have been done to prevent, or less, etc … is a different matter.
I find it interesting that when we act we are to blame and when we don’t act … again we are to blame.
But, forget UN peacekeepers. Those clowns are useless.
Education Guy, I think you are right. It’s a Hillary Hoax© though I think the timing is wierd. I hope it is true, since it would be very revealing, and Trinity apparently is loaded with cryptoracists that would cheer such things, but I think it is too bad to be true.
So the supposed tape w/Farrakhan is now a tape w/Mrs. F?
Let me know when they produce it from Capone’s vault.
no carin….this was massacre by machete.
lowtech
sure Belgium bears responsibilty.
but Clinton could have stopped it with a minimum investment.
5000 soldiers to save 800,000 lives?
that is why he gets blamed…he funked mogadishu (chickened out, its a riding term).
he couldn’t get enough stones back to help Rwanda.
Carin – Yes regarding the Hutus carrying the ultimate responsibility. The thing is, there is no such thing as a Hutu, or Tutsi – these are labels made up by the Belgian colonialists. It’s an artificial class designation with no ties to anything other than Belgian whim, and sadly it ended up with the worst possible outcome.
That’s Rev. Jerry’s line.
But, the tape doesn’t exist until I see it.
If a videotape stays on the shelf, does its content exist?
What if it’s Betamax?
yah, i agree with edu guy.
no way all copies were bought up or supressed.
Which is pretty much why there is so much anti-Belgiamism in the world.
Pablo – Now that I can believe 100%. And I don’t think he’d divorce himself from it, either.
Education Guy – I ain’t so edumucated. Do you have any links to what you said about the terms tutsi and hutu being originated by the belgians? Thats interesting. Thanks in advance (even if you just tell me to google it ;)
The Hutu-Tutsi distinction might offer us some help parsing the black-white distinction we’re supposed to having some great race conversation about here in America. Everybody choose sides now.

Why couldn’t the French or the Belgians commit the troops? If it must always be the US then we deserve a perk to go with it, perhaps something along the lines of the only superveto on the security council. Otherwise I’m tired of having this country blamed for all the evil that exists in the world.
To my mind, the Clinton sin was the endless word game playing when it came to using the word “genocide”. It was intentional because use of that word automatically triggers certain responses. Then again, we know what problems Billy Jeff has with word definitions.
Ever see Ghosts of Rwanda? The images of Albright stepping over the corpses should be required viewing for all future administrations, and for everyone who works at the UN.
Obstreperous Infidel
Crap. I think I may have that one wrong, which would serve me right for not verifying something before writing about it. My bad. Apologies to everyone for the bad information.
Origins of Hutu and Tutsi
Education guy: sorta:
Paul Rusesabagina: The Rwandan problem, I think, is rooted in our history. Before colonization, a Hutu in Rwanda was a slave to a Tutsi. That was before colonization. When the colonizers came in, they again took Tutsis to be the elite, the most intelligent, more close to them. They then ruled the country with the Tutsis. So there was already a gap between Hutus and Tutsis, and the colonizers made the gap wider. When they made our first IDs, they separated us. They went as far as writing our ethnicity in the cards. The 1959 social revolution in Rwanda was the majority Hutus getting rid of the colonizers and the Tutsis. Then, the Hutus took over. When the colonizers left, many of the Tutsis left the country. So ours is rooted in our history
But, in your defense, there is a lot of information out there that blames it all on colonization. Lesson plans, etc.
Thanks Carin – I’m wondering if I got that from Hotel Rwanda, which would be pretty pathetic.
i hate Albright.
she is a serial perjuror on national security.
Edu Guy
You probably got it from “Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow I will be killed…etc” Gourevitch
Ah, thanks both to Education Guy and Carin. Interesting stuff.
It’s allright, Education Guy. You’re among friends. I mean, except for nishi.
I was just suspect because it sounded a bit too PC, anti-colonialist to me.
I mean, colonialism had it problems but it isn’t the origin of every evil. Not even in Africa.
nishi
Although if you need someone to hand out basketballs to short megalomaniacal tyrants, she’s your gal.
Which is pretty much why there is so much anti-Belgiamism in the world.
snicker.
You know, Belgium really squandered all of it’s good will with that whole Rwanda thing.
It’s a squagmire.
If the tape exists, I don’t want to see it until, oh, October 25.
That tape does not exist, but I will continue to search E-bay for a copy.
Education Guy–you probably did get it from that movie. I did, too, for a time. Just another example of Hollywood casually peddling intellectual garbage that fits its all-too-familiar worldview. I should have known better than to buy it, but I guess even this staunch conservative has been so brainwashed to accept colonialism=bad that my first response was to say “Wow, I did not know that. Those mean Belgians.”
Even if the tape doesn’t exist now, maybe if enough of us wish it to exist it will spontaneously appear.
THE AUDACITY OF HOPE!!
Face it, once you’ve hailed some guy named Leopold as king, it’s pretty much over. Little bastard sprouts.
Just imagine, it’s so easy if you try, and I hope you’ll join us…
Just don’t bear down too forcefully while trying to alter reality with your Gaia-powered ego-force.
Especially if you’ve recently eaten Brussel sprouts.
You see, the problem with the powers of Brussel sprouts and Gaia ego force is that if you are not exactly right in the focus and application yof same you are at risk of creating a DVD featuring a nude Hillary Clinton waxing her legs.
the horror … the horror … the horror … SPLAT
Oh, the misogynistic cracks horror of it all! I would disabuse you of the notion that you can banter about Hillary in such a manner, but I have to disabuse myself for a little while first…
…especially with that image in my head…damn you, BJ.
– BJT, I denounce AND shun you for that image.
LMAO @ BJT!!
DVD featuring a nude Hillary Clinton waxing her legs.
So that is why there is a wax shortage.
JD: It made you a little warm, didn’t it? C’mon, you can admit it. Embrace the hot, stiucky wax…
I denounce myself and give myself an enema. UNNGGGHHH
#61, 62: ZOMG. WTF. LOL!
Even if the tape doesn’t exist, yet, the Clinton camp’s working on it. If America stands for anything, it’s high production values.
DVD featuring a nude Hillary Clinton waxing her legs.
Would you use like a modified Zamboni for that or what?
No, no, that won’t be necessary. $9.95 with the coupon will be enough.
Eyedrops are extra…
“and ekshually a lot of ppl blame Clinton for 800,000 dead in Rwanda.
that is not unusual.”
That doesn’t make it so, Nishwad.
I dislike Clinton as much as anyone, but I don’t hate him/her, and even the Clintons seem to have some sense of reality.
When I see the tape, I will believe it, but until then, I can only hope. But from what little I’ve seen of Mrs. O!, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does show up. I have been hearing/ seeing hints of this for a long time now.
If the Republicans have it, it won’t show up until about two or three weeks before the general election. They know that the press is so in the bag for Obama, that they will bury it after two or three weeks. Why give them the opportunity to do so?
And a little OT, but am I crazy?
Or did I hear Obama trash Bush’s foreign policy and then repeat it as his own “new” approach, point by point – excaept for the part about handing Iraq to Iran?
It sounded exactly like what Bush has been doing for years now. As far as I am concerned, O! is conciously full of baloney, or stupid enough to wind up in the Darwin Chronicles.
The rumor is obviously supposed to do the damage the video itself would do, if it exists. I’m from Mizzou on this one.
