Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan Take On Whitey
By Larry Johnson
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 politcal 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.

Barack may have quit his church but his religious problems are not over. Barack Obama has a Nation of Islam problem that will receive more attention in the coming days. Before Barack came on the scene, THE MAN in his political district was Louis Farrakhan. No one could take Alice Palmer?s seat without Farrakhan?s blessing. No one. I do not fault Barack Obama for seeking out the blessing of Farrakhan, but the story of what was done behind the scenes to get rid of Barack?s predecessor?Alice Palmer?has not been told. A knowledgeable source tells me that Tony Rezko played a direct role in this feat. And Rezko has been tight with Farrakhan.

It also should come as no surprise that Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff?Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. (And no, I am not merely recycling info initially reported by Debbie Schlussel. I have two independent Chicago sources for this info.) If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been?until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks?listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack?s faith and beliefs.

In probing those matters we begin to understand that the Nation of Islam has been a critical component of Barack Obama?s base of support. And, I am told, Louis Farrakhan has been careful to use Tony Rezko as the intermediary in his relationship with Barack. This is not guilt by association, this is guilt because of actual relationship. Farrakhan, Wright, and Pfleger are each on tape in various settings spewing the most vile racists garbage in the guise of preaching. Barack Obama, up to this point, has tried to pretend he had no idea that these men had these thoughts or said these things.

NONSENSE!! He knew and he knows. And the gig will be up when the Michelle tape hits the airwaves. One source described how this tape was acquired. Let?s just say that one of the republican candidates who is no longer in the race, but had a dandy oppo research capability, uncovered this gem. If Republican poohbahs have their way the tape will remain on ice until October. But when it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam. That?s not a winning platform in November. And Barack?s bundlers understand this threat. I also have learned some major financial backers are asking the Barack team about the tape and are being stonewalled. It is a wild card in the political campaign that has not yet played out.

I have heard there is some serious dirt on the Obamas that has yet to be released; apparently some tapes of Michelle ranting about "whitey".  

I better grab my popcorn.  :awaiting the meltdown:

How is a black man running the country any different than a person with blue eyes?

175 years of slavery plus another 100 + years of extreme racial discrimination, nevermind the racism that has continued to exist in modern america.  

Different may not be a perfect word, but it\'s definitely one of the many that can be used.

From a historical position yes, it is interesting that 140 some-odd years after emancipation a person of aferican decent has been nominated to be the presidentail candidate. Fine, I have no problem with that.

My point was that if you were to use that factor at all in your desicion of who to vote for, it is no more of a pointless factor than making your desicion as to who to vote for based off the colour of his eyes.
