We've all heard the rumors, mostly spread by the Operation Chaos leader Larry Johnson that there's this video tape of Michelle Obama screaming "Whitey" from the TUCC pulpit... I guess, in a fit of desperation, Johnson will release the tape tomorrow at 9am...
...only, the smear is not what it seems. More on the flip:
UPDATED: Apparently, the tape was supposed to come out today and did not... Still, the analysis may be helpful in diffusing the underground smear that there really is a "whitey" tape... please read on the flip for guidance on fighting this viral and continuing smear...
The Booman Tribune reports:
From what I understand, it is a tape of Michelle Obama criticizing the Bush administration.
How you'd write it:
Why did Bush cut folks off medicaid?
Why did Bush let New Orleans drown?
Why did Bush do nothing about Jena?
Why did Bush put us in Iraq for no reason?
How you'd say it:
Why'd he cut folks off medicaid?
Why'd he let New Orleans drown?
Why'd he do nothing about Jena?
Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason?
How Larry Johnson wants you to hear it:
Whitie cut folks off medicaid?
Whitie let New Orleans drown?
Whitie do nothing about Jena?
Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?
Ahhhh!!! Now, it makes sense!! No one who's ever lived in any city in America seriously accepted the phony idea that any African American person, much less the future first lady, used the term "whitey" in anything other than a 70's Blacksploitation film... But, I'm sure that Rush Limbaugh's listeners have no idea what people talk about in the Soputh Side of Chicago, nor do they really care...
As usual, with these smears, the facts are distorted or clearly made up... This one is not even clever. I'm sure it will not only fall flat on its face, but backfire royally... Yet, sadly, we will still have to fight the smears until that happens. Let's get ready to rumble!
