Posted at 10:53am on Jun. 13, 2008 Jay Carney, You Ignorant Slut*
By Erick
Don't you read your own magazine?
Jay is out blaming right wing bloggers and Rush Limbaugh for starting the Michelle Obama "Whitey Tape" rumor.
Of course, as Jay's own co-worker Karen Tumulty noted in the same magazine that Jay writes for
According to campaign officials, what finally launched Obama into a full rumor counteroffensive was a story that apparently first made a big splash on the Internet in late May in a post by pro-Hillary Clinton blogger Larry Johnson.
Come on Jay, you're better than that. I know you like to blame the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for everything from global warming to those mysterious panties in your hotel room that one time back during Bush-Cheney 2000 (it is, I believe, a requirement to blame the VRWC for everything if you want to work at Time), but try not to follow the herd here, Jay.
It was Hillary Clinton supporters who started the rumor. Not us.
*I like Jay Carney. I think he's a good reporter. The title is humorous and based on a Saturday Night Live skit. But Jay is definitely ignorant in this matter.

Posted at 4:47pm on Jun. 12, 2008 Obama's Truth Site Already Has a Problem With the Truth
By Erick
Barack and boys from Chicago have set up a new website to combat all the "smears" against the candidate.
One of the smears is the "Whitey" tape wherein Michelle Obama tells an audience of leather clad San Francisco gay men and radical muslims "F--- you and your Jesus, Whitey. My husband is the new messiah and the crackers can deal with it." She thereafter pees on a statue of the Virgin Mary and replaces the little crucifix Jesus with an Obama logo.*
To respond to this smear, the Obama campaign has created a smear of its own. They are falsely accusing Roger Stone of claiming to possess the Whitey tape.
Stone never said that.
If the Obama campaign is going to combat smears by smears of its own, we might need to do an anti-anit-smear site. Of course, we're already tied up just dealing with Obama's day to day fabrications, lies, and minimal truthiness.
Perhaps he really does have a plan of burning out right-of-center bloggers by giving them too much to write about.
*Hey, I haven't seen the tape. I'm just making an educated guess based on the various emails, conversations, blog posts, and news items that have been out there.
