    Laugh is one of the things I do every time I read one of your posts.

  • Huh?

    Not the Video Breitbart Died For: Leaked Obama Vid Already Aired on PBS in 2008

    Prison Planet

    March 7, 2012

    Will damning footage Andrew Breitbart intended to release March 1 ever surface unedited?

    Media outlets are frothing at the release of video that shows now President Obama a radical Harvard rally supposedly demonstrative of racial division tactics he took part in. Indeed, Breitbart.com reports:

    Earlier today, Buzzfeeds Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.

    Here is that video:

    Coincidentally the exact wording from new york magazine.

  • Okay, Steve, whatever. Apparently now I'm not taking my cues from Axelrod, but from New York Magazine.

    The story is a dud.

  • "What can you say about this?

    1. This shows the provincial state of American politics where the idea is to get something, anything to try discredit someone. Debating on policy ideas? Oh, that’s so 20th century..

    2. This major campaign revelation, it turns out, is not about Barack Obama so much as trying to discredit him by pointing to people who he interacted with at college. Did anyone vet the Taco Bell manager Obama chatted with while in college yet?

    3. Some blogs are already running posts about Bell. So let me get this straight: the more things that seem unpleasing about Bell from a certain person’s political perspective that emerge, the more that is supposed to make voters decide they can’t vote for Barack Obama?

    4. Although some may feel differently, the bottom line is that the bulk of Americans do not consider Barack Obama a dangerous radical who plans to remove the white and blue from the American flag if he’s elected to a second term. Many Democratic liberals feel Obama has turned out to be too moderate. Many voters may not like Obama, they may feel he was a huge disappointment, they may consider him inept, they feel he is too liberal for their tastes — but a dangerous, foaming at the mouth radical?

    It’s one more example of how American politics now revolves around the small battles and mini issues — even battles that are synthetic battles, hyped up to be battles by partisans but of no interest to the average American. These battles can drive up website hits, they can drive up ratings on ideological political shows, they can boots the profile and/or speaking fees of those who push these synthetic battles and involve pushing partisans’ hot buttons.

    But the average person will look at this and say: Who cares? So what? And why did you waste my time?"

    Breitbart’s Obama college video turns out to be a dud

    Who am I taking my orders from? The mystery continues...

    Ha ha.

    You know when jon stewart find a half dozen or more conservatives using the exact same language he does a collage. And it's always side splitting funny, right?

  • I'll use "whiff" or "nothingburger" to make you feel better.

  • What a scoop:

    "But there’s nothing new about the clip or Obama’s role in the controversy at Harvard Law School. In 2008, as a part of our quadrennial election special The Choice 2008, FRONTLINE ran the same footage of the speech as a part of an exploration of Obama’s time at Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1991. It’s been online at our site and on YouTube since then.

    …

    FRONTLINE producers obtained the footage from the same source as BuzzFeed did this week: the archives of WGBH, Boston’s PBS station. The footage was shot in 1990 by a team of local news producers for the WGBH Ten O’Clock News. FRONTLINE is produced at WGBH and our producers were alerted to the footage in the station archives in 2008."

    Forced out of office for appearing to embrace an elderly racist?

    But it's cool if Obama does it.

    But we already know that, correct, it's not a scoop.

    We know the president has sidled up to some unsavory characters over the years in order to get a firmar grip on his base.

    And sure lots of us were more radical when we were young and idealistic.

    Were you on board for the Lott lynch mob?

  • Obama Assigned Reading: Bell Says Whites Might Enslave Blacks

    Back when Barack Obama was a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, he assigned Derrick Bells readings in class. In particular, he assigned the introduction to Bells book, Faces at the Bottom of the Well. Bells book was highly controversial, and for good reason: it contains some of the most inflammatory racial material in the critical race theory canon. And the introduction is chock-full of it. Open your hearts and minds to the words of Derrick Bell:

    Slavery is, as an example of what white America has done, a constant reminder of what white America might do.

    Or this:

    Black people will never gain full equality in this country. Even those herculean efforts we hail as successful will produce no more than temporary peaks of progress, short-lived victories that slide into irrelevance as racial patterns adapt in ways that maintain white dominance. This is a hard-to-accept fact that all history verifies.

    Or this:

    In similar fashion, African Americans must confront must confront and conquer the otherwise deadening reality of our permanent subordinate status.

    Why would Barack Obama assign this inflammatory racial nonsense to his students? Will anyone in the mainstream media ask him about it? Will anyone in the White House press corps ask Obama about his association with Derrick Bell? Dont count on it.
