306 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized BiographyCoalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event. Michelle Obama
appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks. Bill Clinton
spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle
attended. Michelle Obama spoke at the Women’s Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant —
his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems. For about 30 minutes,
Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for
the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of
Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She
then launched into an attack on “whitey”, and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the
realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted
strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that’s when she completely
loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who’s seen this. The “tape” is a
DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March
2008 when Trinity’s site was scrubbed and the DVDs were no longer offered for sale. This outburst
happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered
the keynote address.^162
The trolls who make up the Obama mercenary assault sections on the Internet soon concocted an
absurd explanation of what Michelle is supposed to have said. In doing this, they may have
indicated more or less the formulations which are in fact on the tape in question. Larry Johnson
summed up the state of the case by writing:
Our thanks to Martin Longman over at Booman Tribune. He performed a public service last
night by disseminating Barack Obama talking points even before I had published my update.
Two key points–First, the Obama campaign is admitting the tape exists by ponying up a bogus
explanation. Second, they don’t dispute that Michelle is sitting at the table with Louis
Farrakhan. So, here’s what Martin posted:
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:
