Michelle Obama Video: The Non Denial Denial
MORE on rumours of a Michelle Obama video of her saying things that must not be said. See the video here.
And:
The headline of this story is that “Obama denies a rumor,” but he doesn’t really, at least from what I can tell from the reporting:
Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday batted down rumors circulating on the Internet and mentioned on some cable news shows of the existence of a video of his wife using a derogatory term for white people, and criticized a reporter for asking him about the rumor, which has not a shred of evidence to support it.
“We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it,” Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. “That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.”
Asked whether he knew it not to be true, Obama said he had answered the question.
But as far as I can see, he hadn’t, unless there were words spoken that were not reported.
Are hanging chads black or white?
