The Rumored Videotape

For the past two weeks there have been rumors on the net that a videotape exists that captures Michelle Obama kvetching about the sins of ‘Whitey.’ The rumor has now even made it on to some of the major news networks and talk radio. For my purposes it is irrelevant whether or not the tape exists. What is relevant is that so many people find that report believable and so believe it likely that the tape could exist.

If rumors were being reported that Michelle Obama owed a million dollars in gambling debts to the mafia that would not be found to be credible without a great deal of substantiation. But when rumors circulate that Michelle Obama was caught on a tape lecturing ‘Whitey,’ people find it believable without a great deal of substantiation because of a developing track record for such things emanating from the Obama campaign.

This track record includes now things like the Obama’’s contribution over the years of $20,000.00 in charitable donations to Jeremiah Wright who was caught complaining about Whitey’s ‘US of KKK A.’ The track record includes Michelle saying that ‘for the first time in her adult life she is proud of America.’ One can’t help but wonder if it is ‘whitey’ who was the reason for her lack of pride until recently. The track record includes Senator Obama’s comments about people being ‘bitter, who cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.’ It doesn’t take any genius to realize that Senator Obama was talking about poor ‘Whiteys.’ The track record includes Senator Obama equating his ‘whitey’ grandmother’s actions of avoiding black people with Jeremiah Wright’s racist vitriol. The track record includes Michelle’s complaining about how down right mean America is. Does anybody believe that Michelle thinks it is the minority community that is ‘down-right mean?’

Quite simply the reason that a rumor is believable that Michelle Obama has been caught on videotape chastising ‘Whitey’ for his sins is because there is already mountains of evidence suggesting that would not be out of character for the Obamas. As far as I’m concerned it is irrelevant whether or not the tape exists since the tape would only confirm what is already manifestly true and that is that the Obama’s don’t like ‘Whitey.’
