[QUOTE=photopat] Has anybody here actually seen this alleged video? [/QUOTE] The disturbing thing is that there are people who don’t see right through this. I mean, let’s think about this: there are big mean republicans who have this tape and are going to use it against Obama … **and** the big mean republicans so desperately need a copy of the tape that there is a million dollar reward for it? And let’s see, leaking the tape would be really effective **at this very moment** but instead of leaking the tape, they’re milking maximum hype time out of **not** leaking the tape? And people who originally made claims of how shocking the tape is (making it sound as though they’ve actually seen it) are now admitting that they have not seen it? There’s just no way it exists. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Assuming Michelle Obama did say “Whitey” (and let’s just for shits and giggles assume that when she said it she had a 4 foot Afro on the left half of her head and the right half was in dreads, she was smoking a splif and was competing in a rap battle in honor of Angela Davis’s birthday) In order to be a truly scary image, the right half should be in corn rows. A huge pic with a fist on the handle should be buried in the afroed side. And let’s not forget the diashiki. ---

Fox news had another talking head saying that he expects a big shoe to drop on Michelle Obama. What happens is that the bloggers repeat the lies so much the talking heads think there must be truth to it and go on TV with it, then the bloggers embed the videos in their blogs to show that there’s more evidence it’s coming… ---

Recent Pitee Michelle Malkin [seriously doubts the tape’s existence, and doesn’t want to hear anything more about it 'til it actually shows up.](http://michellemalkin.com/2008/06/03/where-is-the-purported-michelle-obama-whitey-video/) Remarkably sane reaction. ---
