#1 I myself don't remember MICHELLE ever using the specific term/word "WHITEY", NOT IN MY PRESENCE ANYWAY AND AFAIK NOT BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE EITHER.
Then again, my experience wid Michelle was limited to begin with + many years ago.

The Michelle I remember is a very intellectual speaker-debater and can get very emotional and intensive in her descriptions.

"WHITES" + "WHITE PEOPLE" + "WHITE/EUROPEAN CONTROLLED SLAVERY ["GLASS CEILINGS"] OF BLACKS", ETC. among other differens ethnic, IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY, but IMO doesn't harm her or Barack's campaign in any way.

#2 Key words being: FROM THE CHURCH PULPIT. No one here is saying she didn't say "whitey". No one is saying she didn't say whitey "during a speech at Trinity". They are just saying she didn't say it at Trinity in a speech from the pulpit.

Oh - and Obama didn't come forward to say this, his CAMPAIGN did... you know... just in case.... there actually actually is some audio or video.

#3 Ah, Joe, but Europeans did NOT control slavery, North African Muslims did.

#4 There was a video to be shown, but it never showed up. Ask Rush.

#6 Does it look like the GOP is holding back? Yes! It helps a campaign when a candidate attacks third parties, or other interests. Why? Because the GOP can sit back and watch the Dem hang himself. I would predict that Obama will be in a hole by the end of June. At that time Sen. McCain should be able to pick up some big money. I forsee some Karl Rove attack-early-and-often tactics. They must have some good stuff on BHO.

#7 Seriously, who gets excited by such milquetoast epithets as 'whitey'? What's she going to call us next, "Mr. Charlie"? "Honkey"? "Buckrah"? Hell, I use "cracker" about my trashier neighbors on a daily basis.

#9 OK. Maybe there has been some runaway rhetoric. Just the facts? This fact?:

BHO in "Dreams of My Father": "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race."

Let me say it again: Obama is the biggest ambulance chaser in US history; he wants US private wealth transferred from the productive to the non-productive class. As President, he would suck the lifeblood out of US industry.

#11 According to demographics and geography the proper word for those out here would be "tornado bait".

#13 No, what she said were the letters "YT" together, see, it just sounds like "whitey". Though "YT" is black text code for "whitey" or "the man" or "cracker" - she never actually said "YT". See, it's all in the semantics, now you dumb plebs get back to worrying about your guns and religion and hatin' on all the non-YT skinned folk...

#14 I tend to get bored with all the childishness surrounding the use of a few "bad words", but then I remember that that's the PC folks game. It is very important to them to keep thrmselves pristine clean(can't use white here - ya know) while pelting their enemies with muddy prose.

If Cindy McCain used similar racially charged words would you be equally unfazed? Besides, who cares what words she used, the point is that Obama and his wife have for years been associated with the black separatist movement. Yet their true-believers are still stupid enough buy their "unity" snake-oil tonics.

Funny thing is, the same people excusing Obama and Co's blatant racism could see the problem when David Duke ran but are suddenly blind to the implications for Obama. Fools.

#17 Hell, if Cindy McCain called somebody a cracker, I'd laugh my ass off.

Oh, the other thing? Look, if crackers had spent the better part of a century getting strung up everytime they looked at Michelle Obama's great-grandma cross-eyed, her talking trash about "Whitey" would be a lot more serious. As it is? Pfft.

And don't imagine that I'm some sort of Obamolator, here. As far as I'm concerned, he's just another race-baiting Democratic descendant of slave-owning border-ruffian trash. I voted in Operation Chaos in Pennsylvania for the she-Nixon.

It's just hard to get excited about "Whitey".

#18 All sorts of interesting terms I didn't know before -- but then, I've lived a very sheltered life. ;-) Since the video never showed up, I assume it never existed. There's enough reality in that hate-filled church the Obamas belonged to for two decades to judge how they both think, without worrying about a single speech that may or may not have occurred. All that lawyerly precision about a single term in a single speech in a single location doesn't change the weekly sermons, the Sunday School lessons, and the mildly vicious certainty of natural superiority over those of a different skin colour or religion that pervades the Obama's lives.

#19 What the Dems are doing is to release reports of phoney tapes, statements, etc, supposedly by Obama or his wife. They are flooding the media with false reports so that any real ones are lost in the noise.

#20 Not only that but also managing to cast themselves as the 'victim' of the mean, evil, republicans.

#22 you know... If there was a tape (and I don't think there is) this would be the perfect time to release it.

#23 Come on, I expect better of the 'Burg. You guys want to tell me you never heard of an October Surprise? IF there is a tape, that's when it will come out.

#24 other than white trash or trailer trash or cracker or the like... most words for a Caucasian in US English are fairly benign.... Now for others it is possible to rapidly turn even Rantburg into a PC-Correct haven....

Subsets based on occupation still have interesting effects.... I remember as a child teasing the cowboys in the next town over (we were an edge of cowboy country) about being GOAT-ROPERS! That used to just drive them right over the edge (if they were drunk enough) to maybe get them kicked out of that saloon so you could move in on their wimmin.... (strategy always being important and at 14 or 15 having people notice others when you were in a bar)
