The Michelle Tape | 220 comments (220 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Why are you angry with me?

Larry Johnson started his blog in support of Valerie Plame and against the Bush administration. He's been very outspoken against the Bushies. He and Susan said they'd support the Democratic candidate before the race came down to Clinton and Obama. So, no I don't understand their animosity. It's senseless.

Re: The Michelle Tape (4.00 / 4)

Some people mistakenly feel "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

I think Larry and Susan have clearly proven that the enemy of my enemy may still be very much an enemy in their own right.

I NEVER trusted Larry. I DID trust SusanHu because I had met her through the Dean campaign. But I saw what she did with that anti-Muslim cartoon here and was disgusted.

I had been on a private email list of Susan's that was increasingly nasty, unfairly, to Obama. People I used to have respect for were defending Susan's absolutely false, Rovian smears against Obama at No Quarter.

When I realized I was essentially consorting with the enemy, I quit the group, broke all ties, and never looked back.

I don't have loyalties to people. I have loyalties to principles - truth, justice, compassion. Those who live their lives honoring those principles will be my lifelong friends. Those who don't, will not. It's that simple.

It's no fun finding out the people you thought you knew have this ugly side. But it's happened to me so many times over the years I'm usually only surprised and pleased at the few who really don't seem to have that.

Re: The Michelle Tape (4.00 / 3)

Yeah, but it gets complicated when friends seem to diverge from those principles--if they've been friends for a long time, it can take a while to perceive, a while to accept that they have changed, and a while to realize that the friendship must end. It can be like the denial stage in a grieving process. Anger, bargaining, and depression can all occur too.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

True. But when they diverge that dramatically, it gets a heck of a lot easier.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Thanks Real History Lisa,

What you describe is pretty much my story at NQ too. And why it was so painful to see what was happening. I tried to talk to them about it, well Susan at least, but to no avail.

You know Susan told me she'd probably campaign for Obama if he won the nomination. Huh???

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Let's hope not. That kind of help we REALLY don't need!!!

She just can't stand to be out of the limelight. But she dug the hole by herself.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Since you were posting there, can you tell me why Uppity has the same email than Susan Hu. Does she use several Id's?

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

You know soon after I left, the entire readership changed at No Quarter. They got a whole new slew of contributors too, all of them anti-Obama.

I visited NQ after the RBC decision, to see if they were finally giving up the constant "hate Obama" barrage. But no, Larry Johnson had posted something about reporting Obama death threats to the Secret Service. While both Susan and Larry were continuing their outrageous verbal assaults on Obama.

Re: The Michelle Tape (4.00 / 2)

the reason I asked, was because i have been going there to raise some hell, and I guess I got under their skin. Someone started posting under my name, and made it seem that I was out of my mind (actually it was pretty funny, if you have a sense of humor)until I threaten to go to the FBI's section for internet fraud. And I still suspect it was Susan.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 1)

Since someone did that to her once and nearly ruined her life, it would be pretty awful if she turned around and did that to you.

I didn't know that. And yes it wouldbe, although nothing she does doesn't surprise me anymore.

NQ Notice (none / 0)

WARNING
By Larry Johnson on May 30, 2008 at 2:45 PM in Current Affairs

This does NOT apply to 99% of you, however, a couple of lost souls have posted threats against Barack Obama on this blog. Be forewarned, I will turn all threats over to the Secret Service (they are investigating two at this moment). While I don't believe Barack is qualified to be President, nothing justifies or warrants a death threat. Please play nice.

Re: NQ Notice (none / 1)

Does he not realize his language incites that sort of hatred?

Of course he does. He's just trying to protect his own liability.

Larry is scum of the earth.

Re: NQ Notice (none / 1)

Exactly, the language on his blog is inciting hatred, which could lead to violence.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Don't know. I quit there months ago and haven't gone back to read the comments. So no idea who Uppity is, if Uppity has a shared email with Susan or what that means?

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 0)

Uppity is a new contributor who told me that I was no longer welcomed there.

She's a bitter woman who holds Obama responsible for every rejection suffered by women in the history of the US.

Maybe it is Susan. Pitiful.

Hi Cee and Leslie. This is Shirin, in case you have not figured it out already.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 1)

Hi Shirin,
Yes, I figured that out. Your writing style gave you away--excellent as always.

Cee and Shirin,
I have bad news. Remember PrchrLady? She died Saturday, May 31st.

No way, Leslie! That is awful. She was such a kind and thoughtful person. I hope she will rest in peace now.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 1)

Yeah, thanks Hurria. She and I were becoming good friends. She had 4 kids and innumerable "adopted" kids. She was very kind. I'm really sad right now.

Her family will be holding a funeral service June 5 at 11 a.m. at:
Gendernalik Funeral Home, Inc.
35259 Twenty-Three Mile Road
New Baltimore, Michigan
48047

In lieu of flowers, she would've wished that friends donate to the Michigan Human Society.

Leslie, I would love to send my regards and condolences, but would prefer to make a contribution, and just send a card to the family. I will e-mail you tonight.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 1)

The last I heard she was battling several rounds of pneumonia that simply would not clear up. I am really surprised too. She will be sadly missed. If I remember correctly she also had a son in the military from duty in Iraq with PTSD. She sure was a well rounded person to know. Marlene was her first name. I am missing you all over there. and now look here you all are. Thanks for coming over here to share this Lilly pad with me. hugs to each of you three.

Re: The Michelle Tape (none / 1)

Hi to Leslie, Cee, and Shirin (or Hurria). This is Delia from the late lamented No Quarter when it was actually worth something. I wanted to post to all of you earlier today but I didn't have an account here and the site was jammed until now. I'm very sorry to hear about Prcherldy.

I always enjoyed all of your posts.
