On May 16th, 2008, Larry Johnson of the No Quarter blog proclaimed on the front page of this website:
I now have it from two three four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against "whitey" at Jeremiah Wright’s church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright’s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament.
...
So will Barack stand by Michelle when the tape emerges of her verbally attacking "whitey?" Republicans, who are otherwise gloomy about prospects in November, recognize that this recording will create real problems for Barack and give them a shot at the White House. It is their October surprise.
Does Barack have an obligation to tell the Democrats, super delegates in particular, about this tape? Did Barack and his campaign do their basic homework and identify this tape as a potential problem? And, more importantly, do they have a copy? Probably better to deal with this issue before the convention rather than wait for October. What do you think?
Since that day, countless blogs, bloggers, and even news reporters on FOX News snowballed that rumour all over the internet is such a flurry, further creating a divide along racial lines in this nation by suggesting that Michelle Obama had a negative view of white people.
Since that day, no tape has ever materialized, although the rumour has from time to time popped up again and again. Larry Johnson owes everyone an explanation.
Larry - the ball is in your court now. Either admit you made the whole thing up or publicly release the names of the "sources" for which you relied upon for stating that there was such a tape in the first place.
