Hillary Clinton-backer, former kossack and smear-merchant extraordinaire L.C. Johnson claims, on his site, that
I now have it from two three four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against "whitey" at Jeremiah Wright’s church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright’s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament.
I was led to this from a link at RedState:
According to Jim Geraghty at The Campaign Spot, Larry Johnson is a Hillary supporter. So the following from Johnson's blog, No Quarter USA is, happily, blue on blue fire.
"blue on blue fire" - such a pretty image!
Larry J. goes on to surmise:
Does Barack have an obligation to tell the Democrats, super delegates in particular, about this tape? Did Barack and his campaign do their basic homework and identify this tape as a potential problem? And, more importantly, do they have a copy? Probably better to deal with this issue before the convention rather than wait for October. What do you think?
Is Larry starting rumors again...?
Some claim that he was responsible for the whole "madrassa" smear.
For this one, though, it'd seem that they'd need to have the "smoking gun."
Wouldn't they?
I believe that if such a thing existed, they would have used it, as they're clearly desperate to have HRC to run against, rather than Obama.
RS ends with:
Now who would ever believe Michelle Obama would say something like that? Pass the popcorn.
oh - and their title is
Michelle Obama Rails Against "Whitey" - Game Over.
oh, we know they'd like for it to be so - but, not so much.
