VIII: “Our Souls Are Broken” - Michelle Obama, Postmodern Fascist Ideologue 305There was an interesting wrinkle in the story: Johnson wrote about a right-wing Republican who
hated McCain and did not want him elected to the presidency. This right-wing moneybags was
offering a cool million to get the tape for himself, with the intent of showing it at once, thus sinking
Obama before he ever got the Democratic nomination. That way, Hillary would get the Democratic
nod in Denver, and she would of course have a much better chance of defeating McCain. It was
clear that fall 2008 would see an unprecedented battle of the scandal dossiers.
In this new phase, scandal dossiers were like ICBMs in an all-out thermonuclear exchange. The
watchword had to be, “Use ‘em or lose ‘em.” If one acquired scandal material, it had to be launched
into public view immediately, since otherwise the other side might strike first. The flaw in Rove’s
plan was that if he waited until October to unload what he had, Obama’s FBI backers might strike
first against McCain, leaving Rove with no candidate left standing. Obama, we stress again, had no
real hope of winning except by way of piloted scandals.
There can be no doubt that Michelle Obama is a racist thinker, in addition to the elements of
fascist ideology which have already been noted. Indeed, the more robust versions of fascism, like
the German one, incorporate racism and “race science” (which of course means pseudo-science in
reality) as a foundational element of the fascist outlook. In her Princeton thesis, Michelle already
swore allegiance to a race-based outlook when she wrote that she would
use all of my present and future resources to benefit [the Black] community first and
foremost... Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites...it often seems
as if, to them, I will always be black first... there is a distinctive Black culture different from
White culture.... [A] Black person may have all White friends and prefer these friends and their
activities to those with Blacks without the individual believing that he/she is White....^159
This is hardly the voice of a person prepared to help a president govern in the name of all the
people.
A reported paraphrase and summary of Michelle Obama’s remarks in the reported tape soon
appeared on line: “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he
attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the
legacy the white man gives us.”^160 As the primaries were ending in Puerto Rico, Fox News Channel
carried an interview by Geraldo Rivera with Republican operative Roger Stone in which Stone
reported:
This has little to do with the general election and a lot to do with why Hillary Clinton is staying
in the race. Look, there is already a buzz in Washington at least seven news organizations have
contacted me wanting to know how to get their hands on this tape, giving me more information
than I had after I had spoken to each one of them. I now believe the tape exists and I believe a
network has it. If this pans to out to be true, based on Michelle Obama’s previous comment that
this is the first time she had been proud of her country, which I think shows an attitude, it is
problematic. (FNC 06/01/2008 14:43:30)^161MICHELLE TOGETHER WITH MRS. FARRAKHAN AND MEEKS
Soon the site HillBuzz was reporting more details about the circumstances in which Michelle
had delivered her tirade:
