Check this out. I think I know where they got the "whitey" story...

Um ... BH ... we already brought that up and Larry Johnson is emphatically denying that he read the book or even heard of it before. I don't know if he's telling the truth or not ... but that's what he says.

I'm still thinking Larry Johnson is probably a patsy for somoene on the Hillary side. They knew he'd get ahold of a rumor like this and 'go for it'. If the republicans wanted to do something like this, then they would have waited until after Obama is officially nominated at the convention. It looks like it could be a Hillary tactic - and that it's a rumor - and that Larry is the dupe they used.

Still waiting on that 'racist' tape.

And as you have already heard .. IF it's real it will be out in October, most likely.

If you want to talk about racism, why don't you look at your buddy McCain for advice on how to be a bigot:

He's not my buddy. And please feel free to start your own thread on how you think McCain is a racist. I'd be more than happy to attend your thread.

Give Obama his first real race against a credible Republican.

This IS his first real national race. His supposed race against Alan Keyes was a farce. Keyes was brought in from out of state and got something like 10% of the votes. It was a pathetic joke.

Please please let me know when you have any PROOF Obama or his wife are racists,

It's all right there in front of you. But you don't want to see it OR you are in agreement with their racist views and therefore dont' think it's racist at all. To list the Obama's racist ways of life would be off topic. I suggest you re-visit the information on that 'church' ... the truth about so-called 'black liberation theology' .. the ties to Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Meeks, Uncle Wright, and a host of other anti-white/anti-Jewish characters .... the racist college thesis of Michelle Obama (and yes, its' racist) ... 'typical white person' .... Obama's own book words - for example - 'that's how whites will do you' blah blah blah ...

Voting against a holiday makes one a racist?

the reason why he voted against it was legitimate. But he later bowed to pressure to go ahead and vote for it without getting his questions answered.

I didn't know 'gook' was a common term in your household.

He said he was talking about his prison guards and not the entire Vietnamese population. But please ... go ahead and start a thread on this. I'd like to see where it goes ....

The word cracker or whitey is also a racial (racial?) slur regardless. I'm sure you'd have a problem being called one of those terms.

Actually, I think they are just showing ignorance on the part of the person saying them. Instead of taking 'offense' ... I just look down upon the persons who use them.

Perhaps not overt racism.

AHA! So .. since you can't show specific points of racism, now it's 'perhaps not overt'.

McCain didn't vote for the MLK holiday the first time around.
He had good reasons not to. So what?

Obama hangs with racists. Has racists as his long term mentors and advisors. Rubs elbows with racists in that 'church'. Soaks in racist 'black liberation theology'. Spews racist sayins like 'that's how whites will do you' and 'typical white person'. .... and so on and so on ... neverending ...

But somehow Obama's NOT a racist but McCain is, just not overtly?

[edit on 6/13/2008 by FlyersFan]

I'm frankly befuddled by this whole affair. If said tape existed of Obama's wife talking about 'whitey' or 'honky', is it going to be released soon or are they sitting on it till McCain can't hold himself any longer and have it just in time for the elections?

But his story was that he had heard about this "tape" from 4 or 5 other people, right? So, they had to know about it before he did. And I wouldn't trust Larry Johnson as far as I could throw him after this. After all, he emphatically insisted that this tape existed, too. Even though he never saw it. (At first, he was saying he had seen it, then changed the story. That should have tipped people off.)

In fact, I read that he's lost a lot of credibility through this hoax, even among the most conservative crowd.

Yes. Johnson claims to have talked to something like 4 or 5 people who have seen it. (something like that).

He claims that he hadn't heard of that book that people are talking about until just a few weeks ago. As i said - I don't know if what he is saying is true or not.

The only thing that is on his side with this timeline is TIME magazine. (I think I posted a link.) THEY say that the Obama camp was talking about the alleged 'whitey' tape a month before Larry posted the information on the web site. THAT is what makes me think he's just a pasty being used by the Hillary camp. I think he believes what he posted, but it was planted by the Hillary camp.

We may never know for sure ... but that's my guess at this point.

This possible (probable?) hoax .... Yes, even Michelle Malkin said on her site that she doesn't trust the guy at all. That's huge!

I think he believes what he posted, but it was planted by the Hillary camp.

That's entirely possible, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I am glad the story has been pretty thoroughly debunked, I'd love to see the election debates get back to real issues.
