Many bloggers were waiting with great anticipation this morning for Larry Johnson's
No Quarter site to post alleged video of Michelle Obama making racially charged comments, referring to "whitey," at a Trinity United Church meeting with Louis Farrakhan. Instead, the No Quarter blog's server appears to be overwhelmed with traffic while the video in question is nowhere to be found.
Progressive blogger Booman Tribune, a friend of Johnson's threatening to end that friendship if the video is posted,
says the actual transcript will show Mrs. Obama saying:
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?
Conservative bloggers, who you'd think would be most interested in a controversial Michelle Obama video if it existed, aren't impressed. Outside the Belway's
James Joyner:
My BS detector, already pegged like a pony
on this one, is about to melt. That "Republicans who have seen the tape
of Michelle Obama ranting about 'whitey' describe it as "STUNNING" does
not ease my worried mind.
More responses after the jump...
NRO's
Jim Geraghty:
The irony is, if the latter interpretation is accurate, we still have a
potential first lady accusing her husband's predecessor of "letting"
New Orleans drown.
Kyle E. Moore
says he wouldn't put it past Johnson to edit a tape to hurt the Obamas:
I am pretty much 100% positive that the Obamas are not racists. I
believe that. But then, I wouldn't put it beyond this whackjob to chop
up a bunch of quotes taken out of context to try and paint Michelle as
one.
