For only those who are interested in political rumour/innuendo...all others pls abandond the thread because your sensibilities WILL be offended.

A few weeks ago I posted that I heard on Phil Hendrie's radio program that there was a video out that was going to do MAJOR damage to Obama. Nothing materialized, and I was curious because Phil is usually on top of this kind of thing.

Fast forward to last night when I started seeing mention of a Michelle Obama video. If such a vid exists...and it is said that the anti-Obama crowd is holding it until after the election...this would be a HUGE blow to Obama.

If you are interested in seeing how these kind of rumours develop, as I am, Google "Michelle Obama whitey". You will get a lot of hits to look into.

I read on an Oregon site that there was a video floating around of Michelle making "Wright" type comments. I dismissed it as ridiculous.

Whether or not such a thing actually exists really doesn't matter.

Most people won't believe it because it's easy enough for people on both sides to doctor opposing videos. Soon you learn to ignore them or laugh at them, just like the photos in the National Enquirer.

There will be some people who do believe in it--but those are people who like rumours. If this video exists, they will love it--and if it doesn't exists, they will find another rumour.

If such a tape existed, which I doubt it does I wish I had it. I would never have to work again. I would either be rich and watching it on the news or be rich knowing it went up in smoke. Either way......

How could it not matter? If it exists it would be smoking gun that Hillary needs to take the nomination from Obama, which would most likely lead to the election of McCain. I would say that it matters alot!

Because I don't think internet rumours have power anymore. Nobody takes them seriously, there's just too many of 'em out there. But I guess only time will tell.

You are trying to change the issue from a tape to an internet rumor. My statement remains IF A TAPE exists, it would very much matter for the reasons I listed. Please try to stay in the ball game!!!

If a tape exists, it would be spread via the internet. Making it an internet rumour. But call it a tape rumour, if you prefer. No matter how you try to spread it, people are still not going to take it seriously because there's too much stuff like this floating around. And especially since you-tube, everyone knows how easy it is to doctor a video. My opinion, of course.

If a tape exists, it would be all over the NBC, CBS, and ABC just like the Rev Wright tapes were. Forget about the internet. A tape would be such big news that it wouldn't be able to be kept quiet. That is why I don't believe a tape exists.
