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."
What do you think of the video? It will hurt Obama and propels the notion that he's a radical. 22%
What a joke. Nothing note-worthy happens in the video. 72%

It’s hard to say even if I care. Obama led a protest? Wow! How evil.
I was hoping to get a tape with Obama saying something truly radical/Communist etc. or supporting someone who was.
All this tape was some relatively non-eventful comments at a rally expressing liberal ideology. That’s not going to turn anybody away from voting for him!
I hope all the other alleged videos are better than this.
The video showed Obama for what he is... the velvet voice for the tyranny of the Left. It was shown on the local Fox News last night with little explanation. It was presented as a clean articulate Black guy praising his Black professor.....
Can’t believe how little faith you guys have.
Do you really think Breitbart would have hyped it this much if this is all he had?
You're correct, in 2008 after an 8 year fatigue with GWB Obama hit a sweet spot with that election. That being said he isn't looking at anything like the same atmosphere now, and people have had a chance to see what he really is made of now.
He will be toast, and Romney will be our next President.
*sigh*
Of course, no one knows much about Bell. They should have warmed up by bringing in Tom Sowell to fill the public in about this fanatic Bell.
Agree, in the past Breitbart has released info, then people respond, then he releases more to disprove their response
or are actually IMPRESSED by his radicalism.
There is a reason that Calypso Louie sells out the Rosemont Arena each year.
Leftists no.They are like millenarians who can always find an excuse to stay with their prophet after Doomsday has come and gone.
Nothing noteworthy happens in the video. Unless you hate people who play “pocket pool” all day long.
How did they try to hide it, exactly? It’s always been available to license from the Boston station that originally aired it, and PBS’s Frontline aired at least parts of it during the 2008 campaign.
What’s interesting about that video is The Kenyan born Marxist isn’t using a teleprompter and his voice sounds oddly different. Ventriloquism?

This poll needs attention from a few intelligent people.

Americans voted willing to destroy this Republic.See the Harbinger
“The suggestion is that leftists might be shocked by leftist behavior.”
The presidential contest is for independents, moderates... the squishy middle. A hardcore lefty would never, ever vote against Obama. While I don’t consider myself a “hardcore” righty, I’d never vote for him.
This video if fully explained would lose many in the middle for Obama. However, they’ll never see it, and if they do, the full implication won’t be explained. It will just look like Obama at some protest event.
The enemedia will strike again.
Do a little research on Bell. You will care. He makes Wright seem moderate.

Holding onto faith. I love Breitbart. I hope this is shot one a la acorn.
