  Why did you assume I didn't read Larry's blog? I did. I guess I didn't make it clear enough. I even read some of the comments to the post (I really appreciated the lying, drug dealing black homo slur against Obama.)

  I especially loved the beginning, though:

  "I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!!"

  I think its fine if you beleive Larry. I'm just skeptical. I think it's as likely that Republicans are using Larry to start a whisper campaign. The tape could exist. It could be a ploy by the Republicans. I wouldn't put it past them; they are dirty, dirty bastards just like the Democrats. However, I think we should take anything those people say (selling us a war, remember) with a large grain of salt. UNTIL there is proof. And, I think it's the duty of any democrat who wants a democrat in the White House, to do everything possible to get their hands on a copy of the tape and to release it now so that Obama can do damage control. It can't be too hard to find, I don't think.

  I don't think sitting on a panel with Louis Farakhan constitutes anything, especially in a city like Chicago. Of course, it might not play that way in other parts of the country. Louis Farakhan has been working a lot in the area of black health, which is why I think he and she would be on a panel together. But since we live in a country that now thinks even sitting in the same room with someone you might disgree with constitutes a breach of orthodoxy so heinous that the offender must be strung up in the public square, I'm sure the Republicans will be able to spin it as Michelle is muslim white hating racist black bitch.

  Also, I apologize that I assumed you were a democrat. LT, a word of advice though: never say on Salon that you advocate legalizing prostitution. Glen Greenwald almost got tarred and feathered and run outta the Web community on a rail for saying that. Though being that you are in the millitary, I bet you can handle yourself. (Or is it ex-Navy?)
