One of the many recent made up scandals by the Left about the Right is that conservatives created the rumor that there's a tape of Michelle Obama making "Whitey" remarks. The rumor of the tape's existence is not new, but the claims by Obama supporters and surrogates that conservatives started this are.
The truth is that Larry Johnson at
No Quarter started the tale of the tape. Johnson is a big-time Hillary Clinton supporter and his blog is "
committed to electing Hillary Clinton as President." He's not a right-winger, a disguised McCainiac, a conservative Townhall blogger or a Rush Limbaugh contributor.
But the Obama peeps want Americans to believe that the rumors about Michelle's supposed comments -- and any other rumors about their candidate -- all come from the Right. (See Matt Lewis' posts on this topic, including about TIME's Jay Carney
here,

So what's a liberal to do when a conservative confronts him with the truth? Say something different and act like you never told the fib in the first place. Check out Townhall Amanda Carpenter's appearance on Larry King last night and note how easily Obama-backer Stephanie Miller shifts the blame back to the Right, in this case, Rush Limbaugh.
