what's the original source for the "why'd he" explanation?
Is it someone who saw this alleged tape? Or someone making up a hopeful assumption? What?

1. Because it makes more sense
Than the idea that a highly educated woman like Michelle Obama goes around saying "whitey" like she's George Jefferson? :shrug:

4. well, that's not good enough
So someone has just thought up an explanation for words uttered in a tape that may or may not exist?

Michelle Obama knows whether or not she said this. Could someone just ask her? The whole thing would be rendered powerless in an instant.

Of course, if she won't answer the question, that's another whole ball game.

2. Well, for one, "Whitey drop so many off medicare" isn't even remotely grammatical, while
"Why'd he..." is.

3. It's a myth. No-one has seen the tape yet so how can it be debunked already. LOL
Someone made up the Why'd he whitey thing as a joke and it's getting pushed as fact. LOL

9. If it's fake
it will be debunked in as short a time as the one that was faked a few weeks ago from "The War Room." There are professionals out there who can dissect audio like fine surgeons.

15. This is getting pretty confusing to me. Is there - or - is there not a tape?
I am getting mixed messages from the Obama followers.

22. There must have been another conference call.
I've already read variations of this same "is there a tape or not?" talking point several times this morning.

19. Notice the OP's practically crying for proof of the debunking...
...AND NOT of the existence of the heavily disputed tape.


Lord, you have to laugh...

21. okay, the source is "Booman" -- a friend of Larry Johnson's
Are we to infer that Booman is another spook?
