BREAKING: Whitey tape exposed!!!!
Whitey tape exposed for being completely stolen from a book.

Forgive the source... the debunker is in fact repuke thug... but he is trying to dispel the rumor so that other repukes don't fall for it and assume that they have the nomination wrapped up. So here goes:


Sometimes, this rumor of this alleged tape of Michelle Obama denouncing “whitey” sounds like something out of a clichéd political thriller novel. Actually, it sounds exactly like something out of a clichéd political thriller novel. Specifically, Stephen Frey’s The Power Broker, published in 2006 by Ballantine Books.

A major plot line of the novel is the presidential campaign of Democrat Jesse Wood, aiming to be the country’s first African American president — “Wood was handsome, smart, charismatic, and being mentioned increasingly often in the press as someone who could unite a twenty-first century America growing more, not less, racially and economically divided.” (p.35)

He’s a U.S. Senator from New York and former senior partner at a prestigious law firm. His backers include “some of the old Black Panthers.” He wants to make Puerto Rico a state, and a recurring figure in his campaign is a controversial minister from Philadelphia called “Jefferson Roundtree.”.......


(damn 4 paragraph rule...click POS link to read the bulk of it)


.....Hewitt thought for a second. “I’m going to let Jesse win the nomination and let the public get used to him as the Democratic candidate. Give the country some time to get to know Jesse Wood, to start to like him. And they will because he’s a very likeable guy. Then I’m going to drop the bomb, after everyone’s started to like him. That way the clip will have maximum effect and people will be as angry as they can be. Whites and blacks. Whites for the obvious reason, blacks because they’ll feel like he let ‘em down.”

(I know it sucks that the link is from that trash...but that doesn't change the fact that the book and this alleged scandal are coincidental)

Many more parallels from the book and the alleged "whitey" scandal including this line from the tape: "But behind the scenes, I’ll f*** Whitey, and I’ll f*** him good, I really will." For those select few Clinton supporters who where trying to push this imaginary scandal considered yourselves PWNED.

7. Yeah, I've been pretty sure for a few days that the Whitey tape doesn't exist. But as a Hillarite,
I was hoping for it - not just because of the fallout, but because I was so looking forward to the inevitable Obama response: Wright? Not the man I knew. Rezko? Not the man I knew. Michelle "Whitey" Obama?

"Not the woman I marrried."

Then he'd have to head off to Niagra Falls to give a a very sober and scholarly "Speech On Spouses" that would start meriting new comparisons to Lincoln's Cooper Union speech (at least in the starry eyes of your average latte liberal "journalist.")

11. So you'd like to see a Democratic Senator ruined?
Maybe you should reserve your hate for Lieberman.

14. "...as a Hillarite..."
Wow, a Hillarite admitting that he or she is a Hillarite, in those very words.

The temperature in Hell just dipped precipitously, methinks.

That said, Hillary ran the worst Primary campaign in modern history, and I can't wait until she loses her Senate seat in 2012 and has to slink back under the rock from whence she came.

By the way, self-professed Hillarite, here's something to lift your spirits:

P.S. Thank God that Hillary displayed her utterly astoundung ineptitiude and frightening disconnect from reality BEFORE she had a shot at the GE. McSame would have pwnt her, I'm certain.

13. When I saw the thread title I thought I was going to get Rick rolled
It doesn't surprise me to hear it's conjured up crap from a book. When you've got nothing you've got to manufacture. No real surprise here.

16. On Charlie Rose, three or four nights ago
they were going over all of the ups and downs of the campaign..and one of the contributors.. a famous reporter I have seen a gazillion times and just cannot think of his name now, talked about "the tape" ...and promoted the idea it really existed and how it could be another thing to blow up for Barack ..

Charlie Rose for the love of mike.. just shows how stuff like this with no substance can be repeated enough that it takes on a life of its own

I am so happy that Senator Obama, smacked it down.. whew.. maybe the next time, they will think before they bite

17. Larry Johnson can now make a good-sized omelet
With all the egg on his face. I'm so glad that fuckwit staked himself to this garbage. Wear it proudly, Larry! Maybe we should just call him Whitey from now on. Better yet, let's just forget he ever existed.
