Michael Savage: Breitbart tape 'fell flat'
World Net Daily ^

Posted on 03/11/2012 11:46:08 AM PDT by Politics4US

"The release of the highly anticipated videotapes of Barack Obama speaking at an affirmative-action rally when he was a student at Harvard Law School “fell flat,” revealing little about the president’s radical past that wasn’t already known, contends talk radio host Michael Savage.

“Was there a screaming Obama railing at the top of his lungs about the evils of white oppression? No,” Savage said on his “Savage Nation” show last night. “Was there a beret-wearing Obama with an AK-47? No.”

Savage said the video promised by Andrew Breitbart before he died last week “shows basically the same Obama you’d hear on the stump today.”

“The same monotonous cadence, the same haughty demeanor,” Savage said. “If this was supposed to be a blockbuster revelation, there wasn’t much block to bust.”

Savage seemed a little sour grapes on this.

anyone vetting Obama and shinning a light on it should be applauded.

prior to the tapes the MSM was talking about birth control, and how our side doesn't respect women's rights. ....deflect, deflect

Shapiro and Pollack said it shows Obama embracing this man. With Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright, they didn’t have footage of Obama talking about them before Obama was running for president.

Savage has fallen flat with me every time I have tried to listen to him.

I'm reminded here of the age old axiom of 'vanilla and chocolate'.

He’ll probably be ok once he starts selling those books.

It goes like this:

BB makes a minor charge, which draws a major denial from the left —they offer some explanation.

THEN BB rolls out additional evidence that makes plain the great lie contained in the initial denial.

This then triggers much teeth-gnashing, yelling, and rambling back-tracking. Then a back-up explanation/denial is issued.

THEN BB rolls out something really huge (something that wasn’t disclosed at first) that drags the entire group of lefty apoligists down the bar counter, pushing all manner of peanuts, beer, and sending drinks crashing onto the barroom floor.

Then the victim is pummeled, kicked into silence and finally pee’d upon.

THAT is how is goes.

It was just the first video. Wait until you see the rest to judge.

IN the micro, it was a dud. But when it is examined in the macro, it is huge. And I think that’s where Breitbart was going.

It builds on the narrative that Obama is nothing but an anti American radical - who was given a pass by the media.

His apologists look absolutely foolish now when they cry “guilt by association” - because the list is ever growing (Derrick Bell, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Father Pfleger, Van Jones, Frank Marshall Davis, Raila Odinga, Louis Farrakhan, Alice Palmer, etc)

Good analysis. I hope that the sheeple out there in the hinterlands will absorb and compute all this information and come to an intelligent conclusion about who Obama really is.

Local radio guy Howie Carr compared it to Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault: a lot of build-up, not much pay-off.

It depends on how much you were expecting and how much it takes to shock or anger you.

Remember is will not make a difference with the Kool Aid drinkers. It will keep Barry’s friends in the spot light.

"The release of the highly anticipated videotapes of Barack Obama speaking at an affirmative-action rally when he was a student at Harvard Law School “fell flat,”...
Savage said that while the video shows Obama endorsing a radicalized, racist professor at Harvard when he was a student, “from Obama, there is no screaming or radical statements.”

Well Savage just proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is just like the rest of the MSM.
When he doesn't even recognize that the video is of Ogletree bragging about hiding the tape Savage is talking about then that shows me that he lacks the intelligence to recognize the value of that video and what it portends. It also shows that, for whatever reason, Savage want people to forget what the video with Ogletree does show.

Savage noted that his upcoming book, “Trickle Down Tyranny,” shows Obama “has a long history of his radicalism, a long history of associating with people like Derrick Bell, and there’s no point in reiterating it.”
If Savage knew of his relationship with Bell then why hasn't he spoken about it on his radio show? Or did he not know about that either? I guess we'll all see when his book comes out.

You're part of the problem Savage, not the solution to it.

That is a perfect description of the Breitbart (RIP) model.

Savage ping. Tells it like it is...
The video was pretty weak tea, for certain.

Let me guess...your eyes are brown.

Savage was angry that Breitbart didn’t cover him being banned in England enough.

Obama is a marketed brand. The MSM puts out propaganda and repeats is over and over across many outlets to make it stick.....example: he is a good family man and father. Yet that doesn't jive with the amount of time he spends golfing.

They say the opposite of what he is..transparent, job creator blah,blah.

People buy on emotion, these tapes are a hit to the brand marketing, especially if more of the same is coming. He cannot win if he is losing in the media.
