A Devastating Bombshell on Obama Will be Dropped Tomorrow ("Whitey" video update)

No Quarter ^ | 6/3/2008 | Larry Johnson

[mojito]

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal was on Laura Ingraham’s show this morning, talking about the bombshell, according to our own No Quarter author Bud White.

Bob Beckel, Democratic analyst for Fox News, reported on TV already that a “bombshell” is coming out tomorrow VIDEO BELOW. Here are written reports to date (and I will ADD MORE as they come in) — and I am adding the DEVASTATING electoral college projections up at HillBuzz that further underscore Obama’s unelectability. Obama is toast.

John Fund, Wall Street Journal:

“Indeed, rumors are swirling on the campaign trail that a new video will soon surface featuring Mrs. Obama appearing on a panel with radical speakers during which she makes more controversial statements.”

Bob Beckel on Fox News, via HillBuzz blog:

he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be…was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee. …

READ THAT ONE AGAIN: “it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee …”

[mojito]

Over at the same blog they now have a photo of Michelle Obama with Mrs. Farrakhan, and are speculating it's the same event on which the "whitey" remarks were uttered.

Looking more and more like this is real. We'll see.

[gov_bean_ counter]

This will not matter to the people who selected him.

[ducdriver]

Republicans behind it? Sounds more like Klinton Machine tactics to me.

[SkyDancer]

Now they’re trying to spin it by saying she said “Why’d he” instead of “whitey” .....

[Theodore R.]

Even if so, the American people are so attuned to Oprah’s Obama that nothing can stop their inevitable march. Who knows, even Dr. Phil may endorse him next.

[spacejunkie]

I thought it was Jed Babbin on Laura’s show that said there’s a tape and it will be out tomorrow....?

“A Devastating Bombshell on Obama Will be Dropped Tomorrow”

This video cannot possibly be true, it’s just too delicious. Besides, wouldn’t it be smarter to hold yer fire until maybe the last week in October?

[mojito]

Here’s a link to the photo:

Forget it. It’s already been defused.

After all this anticipatory gossip, unless Michelle is doing the Hitler salute, people will yawn.

The Obamas have outdone the Clintons in the “drip, drip” department.

[TomServo]

Is this another ‘Clinton’s face turned purple’ story?

[HereInTheHeartland]

I will be shocked if this amounts to anything.

[gridlock]

Cui bono?

If this is real, it is timed to help Mrs. Clinton, not the Republicans.

[webheart]

Republicans behind it? Sounds more like Klinton Machine tactics to me.

Clinton tactics is to blame everything on Republicans. With the media, though, it's hard to tell that Hillary is not a Republican, they are treating her just like one.

[pillut48]

HERE WE GO!!!!

:-)

[babble-on]

If it were the Republicans doing it, yes. Since its Hillary, there’s no time like the present.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I can already hear Hillary...

I was prepared to concede the nomination to Sen Obama, but in light of the recent developments that cast doubt on his electability, I feel for the good of the country and the party I must continue.

[acoulterfan]

WHY would they WAIT until tomorrow to release it?

[LottieDah]

Dudge Siren “Hillary open to Veep Spot”. That was the plan all along. Throw a supposed devasting bombshell in the mix and next think you know it’s Bye bye Bama.

[don-o]

This video has been promised for weeks now. If it exists, why hasn’t it been leaked yet? I’m skeptical.

[mojito]

You could be right, it might be Jed Babbin. I was just posting the remarks as I found them.

[Miss Didi]

This is from mware's thread from this morning:

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.

[Deo volente]

He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee. …

READ THAT ONE AGAIN: “it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee …”


Compared to Obama being president, that's arguably not such a bad thing.

[TCats]

She is an angry, Black Racist who is so defensive and filled with self-esteem issues I would expect she's said and done many things that will be fodder during the Election.

What little I have seen tells me she will be a real liability, which is a good thing.

[princess leah]

I never did like Dr. PHil and now his 2nd wife is divorcing him and going after the bank account. He was nobody until Oprah pushed him off on the public. America doesn’t know what real truth is (try the reality of who God IS and then you are on the right track~!)

[Izzy Dunne]

Obama is toast.

On behalf of toast, I would like to object to this characterization.

Toast tastes good with butter on it.
O'bama, not so much.

Toast tastes good with jam on it.
O'bama, not so much.

Toast tastes good with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on it.
O'bama, not so much.

Toast can be used by pretty much anybody.
O'bama, not so much.

Toast is an American tradition.
O'bama, not so much.

[DannyTN]

Makes me wonder what college thesis looks like! If that’s the worst thing they can imagine.

[Mr. K]

This is THE CLINTONS AT THEIR BEST~!!

1) Hint about a bombshell tape.
2) blame republicans for it

Even if the tape is real, they hit both targets at once (obama, republicans)

The truth is that is it was republicans behind it they would have shutup until he was the nominiee and used it in november

releasing it now helps hillary and ONLY hillary and could not have been better planned by the clintoons

[Malesherbes]

A Washington Times reporter interviewed by Michael Savage on his show last night said that Karl Rowe has the tape and plans to release it just before the election - and that B.O. himself has a copy and will release it as soon as he has the nomination clinched, and try to spin dry it before the election.

[pillut48]

I’ve been seriously entertaining the thought lately that Matt Drudge is on Ubama’s payroll...

[kcm.org]

The man who engineered the doubling of oil, George Soros, proclaimed on Bloomburg that crude oil prices is a bubble, and this is not news?!?!? But rumors about the future First Lady is?!?!?

[ConservaTexan]

That photo is deserving of a “barf” alert. I just ate.

[AmericaUnited]

What’s the link to HillBuzz?

[dawn53]

If, and IMO, it’s a big “if” there actually is a tape, the Republicans aren’t behind it. Hillary makes her semi-concession speech tonight mollifying the party faithfuls, then lo and behold a damaging video shows up tomorrow. Clinton would look “innocent” and could say its the VRWC against Obama, all the while knowing it would turn the SD’s to her. If it exists, Clinton fingerprints are all over it!!!

[Jim Noble]

HRC is still struggling to sell the lie that the VRWC is behind this.

If she gets stuck to this tar baby (to coin a phrase), she can’t win the election no matter what happens.

[fanfan]

The real point is that everyone can imagine Michelle frothing at the mouth against Whitey.

[bcsco]

There's been a lot of speculation here Bob Beckel says Bombshell is heading Michele Obama's way. (Vanity) about its validity, and whether the GOP is behind this, or it's instead coming from the Clinton camp.

The fact that Bekel, and now apparently Mark Penn (according to Newsmax) has mentioned the tape, or whatever it is, gives it some more validity over the speculation that's been generated over the last couple weeks.

Whether true or not, who knows? Whether really damaging or not, again, who knows? But apparently Bekel, who's in the Obama camp, believes it will be damaging. That's interesting.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be…was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee. …

If Republicans are behind it, it's amazing to me that they wouldn't have sat on it till October.

[TCats]

Actually, aside from dwelling on the Race Issue and examining the underlying thesis that well-educated Blacks tend to face some discrimination on the one hand, and some tend to turn away from their roots on the other, it didn't seem to me to be that controversial. There are links to it around (At least there were, if they have not pulled it down)

[manapua]

Nah, Drudge just has a man-crush.

[Red_Devil 232]

Looks like a bunch of biddies to me!

[Grunthor]

IF the tape exists, and I am NOT saying that I believe it does; and Michelle is saying on it what has been reported...I fail to see how one “spins” that.

[Jim Noble]

Hillary IS open to the VP slot.

Why else would she be getting Sirhan Sirhan released to manage her campaign?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Compared to Obama being president, that's arguably not such a bad thing.

At this point, I think so too. At least there's some hope that Hillary won't immediately turn Iraq from a likely victory into a loss.

[wardaddy]

If Fund and Beckel say it’s coming.....I’d believe it.

Fund is pretty rational as is occasional moonabt Beckel (for a dem)

[Jim Noble]

Hillary IS open to the VP slot.

[TexasCajun]

Looking for the photo?

[BlueStateBlues]

Yes, why now? Why not on November 1? That shows me the Clinton’s must control it, and we will have to fight them again.

So Bill was playing possum yesterday “Shucks, this may be the last day I do this, shucks”. And on yesterday’s Hannity Colmes mumbled something about Hannity having a tape.

But why now? If Barack stays then he has time to counter it. Why now?

[Mr. K]

Maybe its just me but I could not really care one way or the other if she DID say it

really

[sarasota]

That’s exactly what I think. The swooners for Precious will write it off. Let the battle continue.

[mojito]

Sorry about that. But I did warn you what you’d see.
