Another bizarre outburst by our beloved Michelle Obama...

The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a few hundred supporters gathered at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center they had to remain active in their communities and do their own research on issues in order the change the country's political path.
"The way this campaign has been run is the way we need to be forever," Obama said. "Don't trust bloggers or someone else's opinion, because people lie."
Which blogger? What lie? ...
Could it be 'No quarter'? Could it be 'Whitey Tape'? Is that the reason Obama Corp. is sweating?

The Obama campaign is telling reporters from major news organizations that the videotape of Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at a panel alongside Nation of Islam maximum leader Louis Farrakhan is nothing but a “scurrilous lie,” according to one of those reporters who called for an answer.
But at the same time the Obama campaign has disseminated either a doctored or concocted transcript of the supposedly nonexistent videotape. Major Obama donors went to the campaign demanding explanations after the posting of my story on No Quarter about the contents of the videotape confirmed to me by several reliable sources, all Republicans with access to knowledge but who do not know each other.
So the campaign created a would-be transcript of the video it says doesn’t exist. In the Obama campaign produced transcript Michelle says “why’d he” instead of “whitey.” Very clever. Then the campaign sent this transcript to key Obamaton bloggers to circulate. And the campaign sent it to the donors to prevent them from having a nervous breakdown.
In other words, the Obama campaign is a two-faced operation, telling the national press one thing and using eager little bloggers as propaganda stooges. But now they’ve been caught in obvious dirty trickery. Will the press play along? The Obamaton bloggers who happily allowed themselves to be exploited have exposed themselves as just junior media whores.
This whole primary is really racing down the rabbit hole.
Now we have to start asking if the transcript of the video that doesn't exist is indeed real ? If the transcript of the possibly existent video does exist is it being created by the Obama campaign, the Clinton campaign, the McCain Campaign, or a collection of bored trickster gods (You can take that several ways too).
If the transcript does exist is it accurate or spin ? When will these things emerge what will it mean when they do ?
Oh my god my head is about to explode.

I'm still waiting for someone with some credibility to vouch for this thing. Until then, I'm calling BS here.
“.....women and minorities hardest hit”
At least, not to the Democrats: whoever came up with that "Whitey / Why Did He" explanation may have shot the Obama campaign in the foot. The problem with a potentially-plausible explanation for a scandal is that it implies that there was a scandal in the first place: so if the tape doesn't ever actually surface... well. Clearly, Somebody suppressed it.
I really do think that I'm going to go with The First Cobra Civil War as the tagline for this summer. It fits the antics that we're likely to see from our Democratic colleagues. :)

...how a video many people don't believe even exists was so quickly transcribed (and debunked)? Trying to talk to people about such an obvious, obvious point on certain blogs was like a Sisyphusian task, but with a vertical wall to push the stone up.
Full disclosure, of course: While I personally don't care whether or not such a video exists, or whether MO said "whitey" or not" (and feel such a thing is completely unimportant), I realize the electoral import of such a thing.
Also, what would be sadder than Larry Johnson taking the lefty blogosphere on a ride would be Larry Johnson taking the whole country on a ride.
lie. Their wives just say whatever stupid crap pops into their heads, evidently.
