The rumors won’t die. As for me, I agree with Tully’s take on rumors like this; if the video isn’t produced two days after the rumor first appeared, you’ve got to assume it doesn’t exist.
The description of what they believe to be the tape is indeed damning… but it’s also hard to believe to be correct. Frankly, I consider this rumor to be a lie… until someone proves me wrong.
Which is something I don’t expect to happen.

Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.

It most likely was always a lie, Michael, started for the sole purpose of getting people like you to give it prominence and talk about it publicly to the point where half the readers assume that there’s got to be at least SOMETHING to it, since everybody’s talking about it so much. As rumors go, it was very successful, thanks to a lot of bloggers and MSM types willing to talk about a slanderous allegation which was never attributed to any source purporting to have direct knowledge of it.
The funny thing(not really) about it is that you had all thses FOOLS commenting on it like it was Fact, then when the numb skull could not provide a tape, all the fools started a conspiracy theory…lol
Oh White America White America have you no shame… Apparently not…..
