Obama Biographers, Journalists Covered Up Radical Derrick Bell Video
Breitbart.com ^ | March 7, 2012 | Charles C. Johnson

Posted on 03/08/2012 8:04:19 PM PST by Kaslin

Nearly every single Obama biographer and profiler has mentioned the contentious racial climate of Harvard Law School during the time that Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review.

Some have even mentioned the speech that Obama gave at a protest where he literally embraced Bell.

Yet none, seemingly, bothered to track down and report on the content of the speech itself--or on Bell's radical ideas.

A PBS election special in 2008 showed footage of the protest but dubbed over critical portions of Obama's speech in which he endorsed Bell. A selectively edited clip released by Buzzfeed yesterday included the relevant audio but cut out the footage of Obama embracing Bell.

Harvard Law school professor Charles Ogletree (pictured above)--who was also a debate coach for Obama during the 2008 campaign--told an audience at Harvard last year: "We hid this throughout the 2008 campaign. I don’t care if they find it now."

Many of Obama's biographers appear to have been aware of the Bell protest but showed little interest in Bell or what Obama said about him.

The White House has to know all that are "out there" -- they just do not know how many Breitbart was able to accumulate.

They should drip, drip sloooooooooooowly -- the slower the nuttier the Obama pukes will get.

That's how Breitbart tricked and tortured ACORN..

I had a conversation about this with a democrat I know. I found the perfect question for "those types". I asked him, "So, are you the kind of democrat that believes America needs to be punished, or are you the kind that just supports those that do?"

It put him between a rock and a hard place and he tried to change the subject and each time I asked the question again. I kept saying,"You have to be one of the two, don't you? What else is there?" He was totally perplexed and I learned how powerful that question can be. When he wanted to talk about Bush I said, "Ahhh, so you want to punish us!"

He was completely lost and walked away saying that I just didn't understand. That gave me the perfect close ..." I think you prove that I do understand ...all too well." Then I shouted my last words, "SO, which kind are you?"

I plan to use that for my opener the next time I see him.

His ‘08 image as NICE was manufactured —he’s an angry racist.

The current “contraception controversy” is juuuust as manufactured.

They’re doing all this because they KNOW their guy is soooo weak for 2012.

They need to keep the attention off of high gas prices and Obama’s radical past. And now it’s clear how heavily invested in Obama the MSM is so they’ll stop at nothing to demonize anyone who asks the wrong questions.

The media is as healthy as ever. There’s juuust one catch —it’s CHANGING HANDS..!

Long live the new American samizdat.

Soledad O’Brien is one smug, nasty woman.

That’s how people behave when they’re losing.

They’re losing.

Soledad was snarking and waving her hands around ... so THIS is the bombshell? ... a Harvard law student and a Harvard professor? ... so what I am seeing is the bombshell? and on and on.

Pollak told her “The bombshell is happening right now on this program!” Funny thing, Soledad just didn’t get it. She was horrible. Now we also find out she was a Derrick Bell fan - tweeting the day of his death, re-reading his book. Journalist? Ha! She’s a radical Progressive Obama hack .... and that is being kind.

Look. We know Obama is Hal Bill Ayers and half Malcolm X.

The Left loves it.

It’s the independents who are brainwashed.

Hence, we will re-elect Malcolm X in the Middle.

Nothing worth hiding. Yea, We the media know what's best for you!

I wonder if Obama will even be vetted for his first and last four years as Potus.
Fortunately America rises when needed and will stop his madness and deceptions.
Let then deny all they wish, the more the better.
