Crediting Morgen Richmond, Patterico has posted a video clip of Barack Obama speaking at a 2002 University of Chicago Martin Luther King Day Memorial. The video of the full speech is posted here. Patterico characterizes it as “by and large…a nice speech by a rising politician. Obama speaks about the need for empathy in society, about taking responsibility for our actions, and the audacity of hope….But,” Patterico holds, “there are a few times when the mask slips, just a little.” Paterrico points in particular to one of the most provocative parts of Obama’s speech, of which he has posted the clip with this transcription (emphasis omitted):

Is this where he mocks “rich people” for being for “non violence” because they want to protect all the stuff they have?

What kind of sicko thinks that only rich people are against violence? Imho he was implicitly justifying the use of violence to get stuff.

He goes on to say rich people are employing the equivalent of violence through the tax code, etc.

Really incendiary and kooky stuff!

He hasn’t changed. Let’s hope the mask slips again during the debate(s).

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."
