No, not that whitey tape. This is another whitey tape! (Or maybe it’s even worse than a whitey tape!) And it hasn’t been located, exactly — but, as Ben Shapiro tells us over at World O’ Breitbart, or whatever it is they’re calling the site these days, the tape has been identified….
Sources inform Breitbart.com today that Pam Dickler, director of the 1998 production of The Love Song of Saul Alinsky in Chicago that included a panel discussion featuring then-State Sen. Barack Obama, has a video tape of the play.
And she won’t release it.
“There is only one archive tape of the play and I have it,” Dickler informed our source. “It is not in Chicago.”
Dickler told our source that she doesn’t believe she’s ever watched the tape, and she doesn’t know if it “can be viewed.” But she added: “No one is going to see the tape.”
She said she felt “very protective over it … due to all of the interest from conservatives recently.”…
Oh, this is going to keep a large crew of wingnut-welfare cases occupied for months — years, maybe. But really, who knows — does the damn thing even exist? Or is Dickler just messing with Young Ben’s head? And if it does exist, is it just of the play or of the discussion as well?
If the discussion was taped, it’s really hard to imagine that Obama said much — according to the previous story about this, the discussion panel included nineteeen different boldface names, most of whom, unlike the then-little-known “Sen. Baraka Obama,” were locally prominent enough to have their names spelled correctly on the theater’s press release. And those nineteen promised play-discussers were “among many others.” (Click to enlarge:)
Have you ever been to a discussion like this? I know Ben Shapiro and the other Breitbartniks would never have had such an experience, because it’s too commie-liberal for them, but really, if you’ve got that many participants, a lot of them aren’t going to say very much. I’m sure Shapiro thinks this would have been like some Party Congress that went on for hours and hours after the play, with everyone smoking Russian cigarettes, but people get bored after a while, especially if they just sat through a play, so my guess is that it broke up after an hour or so at most, and Obama’s contribution mostly consisted of nodding in agreement. (Though if the tape is ever found, that’s going to be the source of another Breitbart EXCLUSIVE! — “Look! Studs Terkel says, ‘It’s a class issue,’ and Obama nods in agreement! IT’S NOD-GATE!” Or some brief remark by Obama, barely audible over the inevitable feedback whine-note and lost in the theater’s echo, will be misinterpreted: he’ll have said, “How can we raise their standard of living?” and the Breitbartettes will say, “ARGH! ARGH! HE SAID, ‘HONKY, RAISE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING’!”)
If the tape exists, will it ever be found? My guess is that it fell into the hands of some member of the troupe who subsequently unloaded it after a move to Vancouver or Brooklyn, and now it’s gathering dust in some junk shop, cryptically labeled and wedged in between an Alf lunchbox and a stack of Gino Vannelli LPs. But that’s not going to stop some right-wing plutocrat from doling out several million dollars in expense money to a bunch of pasty-faced College Republicans to try to find it. Wow, that will be money and time well spent.

Within 24 hours, the speculation from mid-level and higher-level conservatards will include something to the effect that the tape shows Obama, Terkel and others burning Old Glory.

The most bizarre thing about conservatives obsession with Saul Alinsky is that it seems they are more familiar with his work than 99.9% of liberals who have no idea who he was.
And have we ever figured out what it is that Alinsky did/thought that makes appreciation of him somehow damning?
Yossarian
If it’s released and turns out to be totally innocuous, they’ll just claim they have evidence the tape was edited. And the lack of meaningful content will itself become evidence of “the conspiracy.”
That’s just the way these people roll.
twiffer
@Paul in KY: 1) given the track record of “creative editing” these folks have, they are just going to make shit up anyway; 2) this reply sounds unfortunately similar to anti-4th amendment reasoning: “if you’ve nothing to hide, you needn’t worry about being searched”. there is no burden to prove it is “innocuous”. that is the default position. 3) i still don’t really know who the fuck saul alinsky is, let alone why seeing a play on his life is significant to these loons.

@gwangung: Good point on the copyright issue. Although you need to keep in mind that intellectual property rights don’t mean anything to the many on the right, and seems to be generally trumped by their interest. I think the producer should agree to sell the videotape of the discussion to Breitbart.com for $10M SIGHT UNSEEN. Let them pay through the nose and see if it amounts to anything.

Dickler told our source that she doesn’t believe she’s ever watched the tape, and she doesn’t know if it “can be viewed.”

Bless your heart, that’s just so sweet. It’s like when Obama released his birth certificate, and birtherism disappeared.
There was a single unsmiling photograph of Mrs Obama taken at a recent dinner for returning soldiers. There were a slew of comments noting how this photo “proved” that Mrs Obama hated America. Another story, a photo of Mrs Obama hugging student athletes, most, not all black girls. There were a slew of comments noting how this photo “proved” that Mrs Obama “only loves her own.”
For people suffering from this degree of racial anxiety, it would not matter if the tape is released. Claims will immediately be made that it has been doctored. Conspiracy theories are infinitely self renewing, because the underlying anxiety has nothing to do with reality.
feebog
You would have to be a special kind of crazy to think there was anything that would matter to the average voter on that tape.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Super Tuesday is a super-snooze in my little town in Massachusetts. I just got back from voting. Plenty of parking spaces at the Community Center where we hold elections (unlike in 2008.) There were two hardcore Obama supporters holding placards out by the turn-in (I gave them a big smile and a thumbs-up on the way in). I didn’t see any signs for the Republican contenders. No waiting at all to cast a ballot. Most of the voters trickling in were either Republicans or Unaffiliated voters who got to choose whichever ballot they wanted. Despite all the winger craziness over the last couple of weeks, no one had wild eyes or foamed at the mouth or called me a “libtard” or a “LIEberal” as I strolled across the gym floor with my pink(!) Democratic ballot. There was so little to vote on. Apparently all of Elizabeth Warren’s competitors have withdrawn, so there was no Senate primary contest, and no challenger to my blandly moderate House Rep. The town is run by a committee of 35 people, so there’s not a lot of opportunities for budding theocrats or fascists to seize power; I had the option to vote for them individually or as a group.

I guess this is the grounds for impeachment the Republicans have been scrabbling around for for 3 years. I only wish this had never come to light. I was really hoping Obama could keep this hidden and thus steer clear of the inevitable impeachment, removal from office and civilian prosecution that this will inevitably lead to. I guess we liberals should feel more shame at admiring such a man, even when we knew about the criminal past he had so cleverly swept under the rug, but, well, we liberals have no shame. We don’t even know enough to feel ashamed when we testify about the legitimate medical uses of birth control like cheap sluts, the way Sandra Fluke did.
