Thanks for running a picture of a smiling Hillary Clinton every day. It brightens up my morning.
Please tell us that you'll continue this treat after she's lost the race in a couple of days.
I'm sorry, but if they are waiting for October then why are they leaking information about the tape NOW? To bloggers? Wouldn't it make sense to keep it completely under wraps until there isn't ANY chance this could influence super delegates, that way they have the BAM in October.
If the tape exists, Wouldn't it be funny if what Michelle Obama actually said was, "You can't go around blaiming "whitey" for all of your problems" or something of that nature. To be honest, that seems more in character with her than saying, "Whitey is the root of all evil" or some such nonsense.
That's also more in keeping with Louis Farakhan's teaching as well. I bet you she got all Bill Cosby up in that Panel discussion.

Israel is in may ways the 51st U.S state and my guess is that more Israelis identify with and support the US than PR residents, yet the Israelis aren't allowed to participate in US elections. The notion of a territory voting in primaries yet not allowed to vote in the general is absurd. They should either vote in both or in neither.--Panatal"
Your arguments about participatory Democracy would make more sense if the Democratic rules committee hadn't just taken four earned delegates from Hillary Clinton and awarded forty unpledged delegates to Barack Obama...who wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan!
Bulletin: AIPAC, one of the richest and most influential PACs, does, indeed, participate in our elections at Israel's behest. Some would even say that they participate a little TOO much in our elections.
As for cutting Puerto Rico or Guam loose, tell those in Washington to get off their collective butts and give both islands the choice.
You ought to read Larry Johnson's post before speculating about it.
Further, I have never represented myself as a Democrat. I am far more liberal than most Democrats will ever be. I'd like to see drugs and prostitution legalized, health care single payer and universal, minority quotas for elected office, plan B and the "abortion pill" sold on the internet and churches taxed.
I've always considered myself an independent, although I can't remember ever voting for a Republican. The two party system is corrupt and rotten. I refuse to be a sheeple who blindly follows a party.
The Democratic party is just as culpable for the war, the lack of health care, the theocorporatocracy, and all the other things that are wrong. They should have started impeachment proceedings the instant they took control of the House again in 2006. They should have stopped all Iraq war funding immediately as well.
Even before 2006, the Democrats could have filibustered and brought the war to a stand still, but yet they have done nothing. They could have filibustered Bush's Supreme Court nominees as well. Even the minority party has power if they are willing to use it and take the political heat.
If it wasn't for Senator Dodd's valiant efforts, FISA and telecom immunity would have passed. Senator Dodd stood alone filibustering for twelve hours. Both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton were too busy campaigning to do the right thing and help him.
Senator Obama and Senator Clinton could still do the right thing even now. There is plenty of time before November for the repeal the Patriot Act or the closing of GITMO for example.
PS - Regarding the limo driver, he failed the polygraph which I did mention. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, but I also have no problem searching out opposing views and take great interest in internet scuttlebutt as it frequently pans out.
In the crazy USA, if one is not a far right fascist like Dick Cheney or Tom DeLay, for example, one is labeled a "communist". In a civilized area like Western Europe as well as other parts of the world, Obama and the whole Democratic party would be considered as right wing and the GOP as a bona-fide fascist party. Onama would be considered a moderate right wing politician and Hillary as less moderate right winger. There's no "left wing" in this country, let alone communists. The US is so far to the right, that moderate right wingers like Obama are labled as "communists" by the crazy ignoramuses.
"My old friend, Larry Johnson, knows about manipulating elections from his training with the Central Intelligence Agency. He doesn't want Obama to win the nomination for whatever reason, and he's in full propaganda mode to do everything he can to frighten the superdelegates. He claims to have a shocking tape of Michelle Obama ranting in some anti-white diatribe. He promises to produce this tape tomorrow at 9am.
From what I understand, it is a tape of Michelle Obama criticizing the Bush administration.
How you'd write it:
Why did Bush cut folks off medicaid?
Why did Bush let New Orleans drown?
Why did Bush do nothing about Jena?
Why did Bush put us in Iraq for no reason?
How you'd say it:
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?
How Larry Johnson wants you to hear it:
Whitie cut folks off medicaid?
Whitie let New Orleans drown?
Whitie do nothing about Jena?
Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?
I'm going to be honest with you. Both SusanHu and Larry Johnson have been friends of mine. They have both done a lot for me and I am grateful and indebted to them. Any issues I've had with their activities in this election I have kept private. I haven't visited their site in four months because I found it too personally painful to read what they were writing and I did not want to be tempted to respond. I thought I owed them that. But loyalty can only go so far. If they publish this allegation tomorrow, I will no longer speak with them. And I say that with great sorrow."

That's the reason no network would run with it. And that's the reason even Geraldo Rivera was hinting that he didn't believe it existed. Johnson tried to scramble the audio to make it sound like something it wasn't.
Seems like the networks either figured it out or knew right away, hence never even bothered. My guess is we never hear about this today because they all knew it was fake from the beginning.
Please note it's well past 9 a.m. and still nothing. Johnson knows he's been found out and now has nothing to do. There goes the last, desparate trick to try and sabotage Barack from the Clintons. Have a nice day. Doubt if you'll ever even remotely hear of it on any real website, cable news station or publication. Kind of like Larry Sinclar. Discredited before it even really started.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
