Michelle Obama 'Ghost Tape' May not be a Mirage
Rick Moran
All I can say is after reading this from a pro-Hillary site, the author either has a vivid imagination or Obama is about to be put in a world of hurt by his wife: The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition 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. The tape was apparently available from Trinity United until March when they scrubbed the website.
The question of what she said gets a very detailed answer:
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. Again, my skeptical sense is on full alert here. If the tape was so readily available, why wasn't it seen by someone - anyone previously? Yes there were thousands of tapes for sale on the website. But wasn't there some kind of reference index that might have listed Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Farrakhan appearing together? That would have sent up a red flag for any researcher.
The bottom line is, I think it more likely that the tape exists but am still not 100% convinced of it. Call me a 50-50 guy on this issue.
