The video that Andrew Breitbart promised would destroy President Obama is here. Update!

Yep that's damning footage of our President back in 1991 defending a "gasp" BLACK professor who was protesting the lack of diversity among the professors at Harvard. I think this is the part when the Liberals are supposed to start quaking in fear.

Here is what Buzzfeed had to say about the video:  

It was perhaps Barack Obama's most intense immersion in the charged campus racial politics of the late 1980s and early 1990s: As President of the Harvard Law Review in the spring of his final year there, 1991, he aligned himself with Professor Derrick Bell's dramatic protest for diversity on the faculty of Harvard Law School. 

Bell was the first black tenured professor at the school, and a pioneer of "critical race theory," which insisted, controversially, on reading issues of race and power into legal scholarship. His protest that spring was occasioned by Harvard's denial of tenure to a black woman professor, Regina Austin, at a time when only three of the law school's professors were black and only five women. He told Harvard he would take a leave of absence — a kind of academic strike — "until a woman of color is offered and accepted a tenured position on this faculty," and he launched a hunger strike to dramatize his point. 

Obama was a major figure on campus, the first black president of the Law Review. Some friends, in a prescient joke, just referred to him as "the first black president." He had a reputation as a conciliatory figure, not a confrontational one like Bell. "

"How Obama would react to Derrick Bell's protest was a matter of some interest," New Yorker editor David Remnick wrote in his exploration of Obama and race, The Bridge.

Well that's it! After the public gets a load of our President, back when he was a thirty year old President of the Harvard Law Review, speaking eloquently in defense of a respected member of the Harvard faculty his political career is over!

Seriously, is that it?

Well not entirely according to New York Magazine:

Big Government now says that the Buzzfeed video is the same video, but it was "selectively edited." There's more to come! "Over the course of the day," promises the feisty right-wing site dedicated to exposing truths that desperate liberals must hide from America," Breitbart.com will be releasing additional footage that has been hidden by Obama's allies in the mainstream media and academia."

Let me get this straight, Andrew Breitbart's online yellow journalism site Big Government is accusing Buzzfeed of "selective editing?"

Isn't that like Sarah Palin accusing somebody of using sex to get ahead in life?

Well if this is anything like Breitbart's other exposes it will consist of a heavily edited piece of video that in NO WAY relates to the original content.

But have no fear Buzzfeed claims to have licensed the video, in its entirety, from the WGBH Boston television station's Media Library.   I am assuming if there were anything TOO explosive in the archive they would have already beaten Big Government to the punch. After all, an exclusive is an exclusive.

For more on Barry Obama's black radical activities you can go here. However if you are a Right Wing nutjob licking your chops in the hopes of controversy, you are going to be sorely disappointed.

Update: Frontline has more of the story, and more video, here.

Update 2: Hannity just did his big reveal of the unedited tape, which includes the footage not shown in the Buzzfeed video of Obama "gasp" HUGGING the  professor.

Apparently proving that Obama is gay for black college professors. Oh the horror!

Okay seriously, this is a joke right?

    We know all too well of "selectively editing" a video, just ask Shirley Sherrod. What a despicable character Andrew Breithart was. He was a master propagandist, nothing more. And isn't it prophetic that Barack Obama was called "The first black President" way back then.

      How interesting that Breitbart will no longer be able to lie about, manipulate, or alter videotapes. Doubly interesting that he died unaware and unprepared for the fact that no liars or deceivers will be admitted into heaven. [That's New Testament teaching, righties: Rev. 21:8 and 21:27]

      The level of pettiness, madness, and downright silliness represented by this 'attempt' of Big Government merely proves the validity of Steve Schmidt's most recent comments.

Are they sure they want to do that to a sitting President? I mean, are they really sure they want to smear a sitting President? With false video? Do they really want to fuck with a sitting President? Do they have any clue what might be the result? It could be another FN reporter moment. POTUS will take the shot and they better be ready for him to fire back - and really douchebags - you really want to fuck with a sitting President? It's one thing to go after a little known junior Senator from IL but a sitting President? Are you really sure this isn't going to blow up in your face?

    OT: Saw Sarah on the Ed Show. Wow! Karl Rove was harsh. Said endorsements don't mean snot in response to Sarah's voting for "the cheerful one". I guess he doesn't like Palin too much. If the Republican convention is brokered and if Sarah were made the candidate to go up against Obama (please God, please God, make Sarah the candidate!) it would be so entertaining to see that last nail in her coffin. I wonder if the journalists would finally vet her and put the fake birth to rest? Probably not, that would mean that real journalists would have to do some work even though it would be one stop "shopping" if they came to IM. Gryphen's done all the heavy lifting.

    O/T Sarah Palin's ‘Game Change’ war ramps up

    Despite months of both protesting against it — and swearing that they would not even see it — the Palin camp has relented and watched HBO’s “Game Change,” which focuses on Sen. John McCain’s decision in 2008 to pick Sarah Palin as his running mate and the subsequent fallout. The book is based on the 2010 book of the same name by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

    A statement posted on the website of Palin’s SuperPAC — SarahPAC — reads: “Despite HBO’s best efforts, we have all seen the movie, Game Change. We stand by everything we previously said on the record. The movie is at best ‘historical fiction’ - historical only in that Sarah Palin was nominated and campaigned for the office of Vice President. The movie is a series of scenes where the dialogue, locations and participants are invented or rendered unrecognizable for dramatic effect. HBO and its surrogates continue to argue that they spoke to 25 sources. None of them are on the record nor is their level of ‘involvement’ in the campaign disclosed.’ Not one source is on the record in either the book or in the movie and it is clear why. The authors of the book never even traveled on the campaign with Governor Palin. We call on HBO to add the fiction disclaimer.”

    The decision to view the movie helps, in part, the Palin camp’s efforts to discredit the film; many of the films defenders have used, as part of their defense, the fact that their critics haven’t even seen a film that she’s so busy criticizing.

    Palin herself, however, can still claim plausible deniability: The statement posted on her PAC’s website is signed by Palin aides Tim Crawford, Jason Recher, Randy Schueneman, Meg Stapleton, Tom Van Flien, Doug McMarlin and Andy Davis.

    Not, you’ll notice, Sarah Palin.

    If you're desperate to win at any cost and you don't have any evidence that serves your purpose, you make things up. Breitbart was very good at that and that is why Sarah Palin thought he was wonderful and those of us with working brains thought he was evil.

    I've seen the tapes of President Obama that are in question (anyone can see them ... try YouTube and PBS)and they show him as the intelligent, thoughtful, diplomatic, insightful person he was then and is today.

    OMG - Hannity is REALLY reaching with this "big" release of Briebart's video. What a freaking joke Hannity is!

    Hannity Debuts Breitbart Obama College Video: Media Hid Video Of Obama Hugging Professor

    The video the late Andrew Breitbart promised of President Obama was delivered in snippets this morning– first by Buzzfeed, then by Breitbart’s Big sites– but on tonight’s Hannity, editor-in-chief of Breitbart.com Joel Pollak and contributor Ben Shapiro released the full tape– one held by Professor Charles Ogletree but released in a presentation after the 2008 election, where the professor is clearly heard saying he hid it during the election.

    Sean Hannity began the segment showing the videos released this morning and explaining the context, before showing Ogletree admitting to intentionally editing and then covering up the shot of President Obama hugging Professor Derrick Bell. “I hid this during the 2008 campaign– I don’t care if they find it now!” Ogletree tells the audience to laughter, as he plays the clip.

    Pollak and Shapiro then began to explain the context of the clip itself, and who Bell is and why it matters. Describing him as the “Jeremiah Wright of academia,” Pollak explained he had radical and controversial beliefs that eventually cost him his job, including penning the sci-fi thriller Space Traders, where “white Americans would sell off black Americans to aliens to pay the national debt.”

    For Hannity, the takeaway was that “President Obama always gravitates towards the most radical people,” to which both agree, but Shapiro expands that “Ogletree’s cover-up was very real,” and if Andrew Breitbart‘s legacy was anything, it was that “we weren’t going to decide what was a story.” He noted that the video was open to the media in 2008, but declined as a story.

      I watched the Hannity segment. I wasn't going to, but I did. Earlier in the day I had watched the full PBS video of the event. Hannity was mostly trying to make it seem sinister by claiming that the professor was some kind of dangerous radical. So it is basically the same guilt by association / race based thing they were going for in the 2008 campaign.

      The other thing Fox did to the video was freeze frame it at the start on a portion of the video where Obama is mid sentence with his eyes closed and his mouth scrunched up. They were trying to make him look dangerous and sinister. Halfway through the video they cut back to this freeze frame, trying to reinforce the idea of the angry black man. It was a fairly clunky edit, but then I guess if your receptive to it it might have had an effect on you.

      The email was a warning to watch Fox news the following Sunday night to see the big expose of Obama!
      After Sunday came & went, I emailed him back and asked him not to notify me of Fox updates because, first, Fox is an "entertainment" outlet not news, & second, there is a study showing people who watch Fox news know less than people who don't watch tv at all.
      He came back with "What study???Who said that? I get all my news from Fox because I want both sides of the issue! There's a war on religion etc...(what?)
      anyway, it was pretty sad. So, being that I like his family lots more than I like him, and my husband said it's better to stay friendly and agree to disagree, I simply gave the old fool some links to the study and to the Presidents accomplishments and a few more important links for him to peruse.

      The loud right wing media has control of 80% of what's heard out there. This is a major problem for the people of USA and the world.

      There is a real effort to stop Fox and any outfit that won't commit to real reporting as a real news source. Canada wouldn't give Fox a license because of their "entertainment" bs.

      If it's all a pack of lies, sue them! You should have also sued the authors of the book, "Game Change," on which the movie is based. You do know that to prove that these are all lies, you will have to produce proof in court-- there is a process called "discovery." I don't think that Sarah Palin will consent to appearing under oath or allowing discovery to take place. She held those stupid emails for 3 years-- the ones that showed that all she cared about was her public image instead of governing the State of Alaska. Yes, please sue. It'll be one great trial, and the sequel to the movie.

      I agree. The man is smart, good looking, and has a killer smile.

      But, I thought the video was going to show a much younger Barack Obama blowing coke off of a oil drum, or caught on camera saying that he would be wearing his tightest and best fitting khakis to an important meeting.

      All I know is that some where Donald Trump must be flipping out. "No one remembers this guy (President Obama) from college.."

    O/T Sarah Palin Doesn't Help Newt Gingrich in Alaska

    Sarah Palin's latest blunder is admitting she voted for Newt Gingrich in the Alaska caucus. He finished last with only 1,865 votes (14.1 percent).

    By contrast, Rick Santorum, a candidate she once praised before she started playing political footsie with Gingrich, came in second to Mitt Romney, racking up 3,860 votes (29.2 percent) to 4,285 votes (32.4 percent) for Romney. Even Ron Paul, with 3,175 votes (24 percent) did better than Gingrich.

    It is uncertain why Palin gave a half-hearted thumbs up to Gingrich before the South Carolina primary as her evangelical Christian background and political philosophy are closer to Santorum. Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity.

    The aim of her endorsement was to deny Romney an early clinch of the nomination. She did not officially endorse Gingrich or campaign for him, so when he did win, she got none of the credit.

    Gingrich's candidacy was buoyant then, but by Super Tuesday, the only thing keeping Gingrich afloat was the cash from billionaire Sheldon Adeslson. Palin has failed as a political kingmaker because of her bad political instincts. In a December appearance on Hannity, she said if conservative voters "want ideological consistency, then they are going to start paying attention to say, Rick Santorum."

    They did, but not thanks to Palin.

    Santorum has emerged as the strongest conservative alternative to Romney. If Gingrich had dropped out, Santorum could have beaten Romney in Michigan and Ohio. But Gingrich plugs on, fulfilling Palin's wish to "keep things going."

    Palin does not put the interests of her party first. If she had backed Santorum, it might have given him the edge to knock out Romney, whom many social conservatives despise. It also might have opened an opportunity for a "white knight" candidate to enter the race. Since that could never have been Palin, she probably feels she'll make sure it's nobody.

    Instead, she helped set up a race in which Santorum and Romney grind away at each other, weakening the future nominee and dampening the GOP's prospects come November.

      Because that's all that they have. Obama is a good speaker, while Sarah trips all over her tongue. We have seen film of Sarah delivering a speech, and she can't stick to the script, even with her head bowed over her papers. For a journalism major, she cannot speak in simple sentences. Her fellow Republicans are also terrible speakers. Romney puts his foot in his mouth. Newt lies, and Santorum's only issues are moral issues. He has nothing else. In fact, the only time that Romney and Santorum speak well is when they read from teleprompters and stick to the speech.

    The implication is that Professor Bell was some kind of violent radical racist. Professor Bell was a HERO who dedicated his life to desegregating the United States. From his job as the only black lawyer in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in the 1950’s, to his work alongside Thurgood Marshall bringing hundreds of desegregation actions in Mississippi, right up to his leaving Harvard, Professor Bell lived what he preached. That his life’s work was radical or provocative says more about how far we have left to go. If its radical to be appalled that Harvard Law School had no women law professors and only five black male law professors among hundreds of professors, then the world could use a lot more radicals. And to tarnish his reputation as simply anti-white is false and totally and intentionally missing the point. I hope to see President Obama speak about Professor Bell, in prime time, on all networks, if for no other reason than this was an American hero that more people should know about and take inspiration from.
