I would not sit in any church that was spewing anti black rants. She sits there and that is enough for me to convince me that they are both bigots.

Should Obama become our president, I will give him the opportunity to lead our country and remain silent. He will be my president. That is far more than the left will do should McCain become president. They will hang on every mis quote, Cindy's past and fleas on their dogs.

There's zero proof that there even is such a video. You're being played and used by the boys who know what works with you.

If it's real, the Rove-school dirty tricks boys leaked its existence just for you, to get you all wound up on pins and needles - as you are - and they'll release it if/after he gets the nomination, when it''ll be most effective.

If it's a rumor, it's what Obama was talking about re "lay off my wife." Just another dirty-trick lie like McCain's black love child, etc. - you all need to hold tight and wait and see - if it's a rumor you'll feel silly for being suckered. Again.

Personally I dont think there is one. Why not. 1) The Obamas were well known in Illinois before he started his campaign; such hard proof of a Senator's wife's racism would have made statewide/regional/national news. 3) How come no one goes down to speak to the congregants of that church who would have been around when it happened? How come none of them ever spoke up about it? It would have been legendary even just within the church. 4) Wouldnt Rev Wright have used it, hinted at it, at Michelle's perfidy, in a passing swipe when he had the mike? Why doesnt anyone ask him about it, he seems available for chat.

To sum up, "Whitey" sounds like a typical dirty-tricks catchword, chosen to hit those fear and loathing buttons of yours that they all know so very well as tried-and-true, so they can continue to play you all like pinball machines.

Which is what's exactly happening, IMO. Everything's going according to plan.

PS - the skulduggery the OP quotes from "No Quarter" is just the kind of adventure/ thriller story trash that always plays, year in and year out.

Yup, that's my opinion as well.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I suspect the story will soon change to "it's out there but ALL the copies have been bought up and suppressed." With that story they can imply the event took place and chip away at Obama's support without ever producing any actual evidence of it.

I agree absolutely. It's very smart and must be fun to do actually, if you have no heart. The only way it'll ever become ineffective is if the target audience starts thinking for itself.

IF this tape exists (and that is a huge IF - right now it is just a bunch of Internet rumors being floated around by Obama-haters) then Obama would be smart to release it now and let the dust settle before it really matters in November. As it is now, though, it is a total non-story.

But really, folks, I do have video of John McCain in a threeway with Hillary and a male chimpanzee. I'm just waiting for the right time to release it . . .

Now that is just racist, sexist, classist and egregious! How dare you insult a chimpanzee like that!

This whole thing is stupid and is exactly what is wrong with politics. It is also the reason myself and many others won't vote for any candidate this year. As long as the majority of voters are extremely partisan and fall in line with their parties the US will get what it deserves, again, and again, and again.

That poor chimp! They promised him that if he made the video he'd get a couple of bananas--how was he to know they meant McCain and Clinton?

Probably age-ist, too. I hear the video makes it clear the chimp had no idea how old McCain is--and made quite a scene about being put in a 3-way like that. No chimp in his right mind would be videotaped "monkeying around" with an old guy.
