Re: Obama Harvard Video Released
Hannity's going off about this video right now. Hannity's even throwing Professor Ogletree under the bus. This is his "Rev. Wright part 2". I hope Professor Bell's family sues Fox News.
What spin could you possibly put on this, other than tribal.

Re: Obama Harvard Video Released
After their assault on Rev Wright to derail Obama's presidential hopes fell flat, I don't know why you dudes even put too much stock into what these devils say. They're gonna hate, its their job. It will not have an effect on anyone who hasn't already made up their mind about the president. Actually I feel content with them rehashing old shit because I know that means they don't have shit to say about the economy. This is Obama's election to lose. All the issues were shaping up to be against him. Now things are turning around, they don't have shit else to talk about so they have to divert people's attention to shit that won't positively or negatively affect their lives.

*sigh* Hannity is on it now going after the radical, controversial Prof. Bell.
Disguisting.
Anybody is radical and controversial who doesn't kowtow. doesn't say, "well, things are the way they are. Far be it for me to think they would change, so I am not going to say anything to rock the boat because I am not enjoying the bumpy ride"
To hell with that idea and that approach. I get mad every day at work when I hear of injustice and I just wanna go off and say something about it but I can't. I have done it before when I was younger, dumber, and on much less sturdy footing. Now I have a mortgage and have to think of my family before I spout off at the mouth. I go to people PERSONALLY and sit down with them and advise them on which way to proceed that would likely be successful against these injustices we face, them now and potentially me in the future.
Injustice against one is an injustice for all. Remember that. Live it. Your only enemies in this case is silence and immobility.

'Bombshell' Obama video? Right says it could bring him down, left calls it nothing
Andrew Breitbart ‘bombshell’ video from Barack Obama’s college days released, falls flat say critics
The video did not seem as earthshattering as Breitbart initially claimed it to be, just weeks before the 43-year-old unexpectedly passed away at his home last Thursday
So much for Andrew Breitbart's last scoop, say critics.
The video the late, conservative provocateur boasted could take down President Obama has been released — and many are saying it isn't all it was cracked up to be.
The full tape aired Wednesday night by Fox News' Sean Hannity, who was accompanied by Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak and contributor Ben Shapiro.
The 1991 video shows a younger Obama, then president of the Harvard Law Review, speaking at a peaceful, racial equality rally led by professor Derrick Bell.
The event was in support of Bell, who was angry over Harvard's failure to offer tenure to black professors.
Obama is seen embracing Bell, described by Pollak as the "Jeremiah Wright of academia."
Wright, the president's controversial ex-pastor, threw Obama's campaign into turmoil in 2008 when a video surfaced of Wright ripping American policies.
In the 1991 rally video, Obama is heard saying,
"Open your hearts and open your minds to the words of professor Derrick Bell."
Fox News also played footage, taped last year, in which Harvard professor and Obama ally Charles Ogletree, admits he hid the video during the 2008 election, but declares, "I don't care if they find it now."
The video did not seem as earthshattering as Breitbart initially claimed it to be, just weeks before the 43-year-old unexpectedly passed away at his home last Thursday.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, the rabble-rouser declared, "We are going to vet [Obama\] from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008."
But PBS, which aired the footage as part of a 2008 election special, noted "there's nothing new about the clip or Obama's role in the controversy at Harvard Law School."
Fox News contributor Juan Williams said on the show that he was disappointed by Breitbart's promised bombshell.
"I must say, I thought this was going to be so much more," said Williams. "I thought this was going to be a smoking gun... But it really didn't come to much."
Ben Smith of BuzzFeed — who initially posted segments of the video earlier in the day — argued on MSNBC that the video showed Obama took a side, but did "it in a way that feels very conciliatory."
But Pollak and Shapiro — who ripped Smith for posting an edited version of the video — said the fact Ogletree tried to hide the video was telling.
"This [rally\] was not about diversity, which is a noble and good cause. This is about radical ideology, racial ideology,” Pollak argued. "When Barack Obama says open your hearts and open your minds to the words of professor Derrick Bell... he's talking about some very radical things."
Pollak pointed to a controversial speech Bell made, in which he said America was still a racist country and the civil rights moment was a sham because “white supremacy remains the system.” He also cited a fictional piece Bell wrote called, “Space Traders,” where “white Americans would sell black Americans to space aliens to pay off the national debt.”
Bell, the first tenured black professor at Harvard Law School, passed away from cancer at the age of 81 last year. He is credited for laying the groundwork for the controversial “critical race theory,” which argues race and power should be considered in legal scholarship.
In David Remnick’s Obama biography “The Bridge,” the author says Bell, over the course of 20 years, repeatedly threatened to quit in order to get Harvard to hire more minorities.

Re: 'Bombshell' Obama video? Right says it could bring him down, left calls it nothin
We should see shit like this and it should make us redouble our (those of us that support Obama, of course) to get people out to vote and ensure his second term. He's not perfect (but not any less perfect than any other President) but he's so much better than the opposition, it's scary.
The other lesson learned from this
Even in death, Andrew Breitbart is a fraud, a liar, and an asshole.

a controversial speech Bell made, in which he said America was still a racist country and the civil rights moment was a sham because “white supremacy remains the system.”
So what is the problem?
Can the media discuss if what he said is true or not?
They wouldn't touch it.
They just label it as controversial
Fuck them
Discuss the fucking issue instead of using code words for white people to assassinate the man's character.
At the end of the day, Bell will go into the history books as one of our brave soldiers in our fight to end white supremacy.

And how are we going to push back?
What is our strategy?
Is our response to wait and see if they inflict enough damage to the man's legacy of struggle for equality in academia?
That is my biggest fear because it would send a signal to the ones coming behind that they can't rely on our support in times of difficulty so why put yourself out on a limb?
This shit is more serious than we think.

My response is laughter and mockery. Stop treating FNC and shitsites like Breitbart's as legit. They preach to a choir that's in an airtight, information resistant bubble.
