It's Happening: CNN Already Freaking Out About New Media Vetting President Obama
Townhall.com ^ | March 8, 2012 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 03/08/2012 3:50:23 PM PST by Kaslin

Last night, Breitbart.com released a video of President Barack Obama fully embracing radical Marxist Harvard Professor Derrick Bell. Now, predictably, the mainstream media is circling the wagons around the president and trying to distract away from the real issue: Barack Obama is a radical and his political philosophy was built by people like Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Derrick Bell.

The Vetting: CNN Implodes Over Obama/Bell Video

Notice how CNN host Soledad O'Brian tries to cut off Amy Holmes, who happens to be black, when she defends the production of the video and the vetting of President Obama.

"This is an indictment of the mainstream media that did not open this conversation back in 2008 with the full video, with the full audio, it did not and we didn't have this conversation for the American people. We didn't broach this to then candidate Senator Obama to discuss his background which is all fair," Holmes said.

To answer O'Brian's question about where the "bombshell" is, I give you Michelle Malkin.

OBAMA AND THE BELL CURVE

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/03/obama-and-the-bell-curve.php

Last night the spirit of Breitbart lived on with the release of a video showing Harvard law student Barack Obama celebrating the radical “critical race theorist” Derrick Bell. Bell can’t be written off as “some guy in my neighborhood” as Obama did with William Ayers, or sloughed off like Rev. Jeremiah Wright with the “I-didn’t-really-listen-to-his-sermons” excuse. Obama used to assign Bell in his class on “race and the law” at the University of Chicago. Now we know Obama has an affinity for Bell. Let’s see if the mainstream media asks about this the way the media used to ask Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan about their supposed ties to the John Birch Society. I’m not holding my breath....

check out this thread from earlier today on Freep where a CNN host grills Joe the Plumber about his past remarks and “how what you said in the past is relevant when running for office”...

this link should be sent to TownHall as another example of the blatant hypocrisy of the criminal liberal media...

>>>Stunning.

Why? It’s CNN for cryin’ out loud. They are one of many foot soldiers in the Democrat Propaganda Machine that was once known as “the press corps”.

Look. I expect Soledad news slanting.

I don’t expect outright news fascism - which is what this was.

LA TIMES videotape from 2008: Now if we could only pressure LA TIMES to release its videotape of candidate Obama speaking at an Arab/Palestinian dinner in California in 2008, we could really put President Obama into a very bad situation, when it was viewed alongside this Dr. Bell videotape.

In 2008, LA TIMES refused to release the tape out of fear that it would damage candidate Obama's chances of becoming the new President of the United States.

There are rumors that in the 2008 videotape, candidate Obama said some things that would upset the American Jewish community and Israel leaders.

O’Brian is the female Rick Sanchez- both are extremely untalented and loathsome.

Soledad O'Brien defends Barack Obama

Soledad, while insisting that Mr Pollak was lying about Critical Racial Theology, did not know what it meant. After being pressed by Mr. Pollak on what SHE thinks it means, she didn’t answer. When he pressed her she gave verbatum the Wiki definition:

From Wiki-Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic discipline focused upon the intersection of race, law and power.

It looks like someone was reading this into her earpiece. Watch the video again. It’s pretty obvious! Enjoy!

Maybe we could pool enough money to put out a bounty on it to make some poor LA times employee or (laid off one that knows where it is) interested enough to have a copy appear?

That was disgusting. These people are the farthest thing from journalists that they could possibly be. I am repulsed.

This could work..CNN took the bait..got the discussion going.
Now, if there are more and increasingly damning videos to come. Hopefully one that is the knock out punch?
You know..a stain on a blue dress thing.
The MSM, with its usual arrogant ways, thinks all it has to do is play it all down and its smooth sail for King BO.
However, this isn’t 2008 and more people are starting to see him for what he is.
Forcing Catholics to go against their conscience and not doing anything to reduce gas prices. Infact, doing the opposite by denying the Keystone pipeline in a purple state no less.

These people are from the Ministry of Propaganda, and in a sane world, the FEC would be coming down on them like a ton of bricks.

The snarky superciliousness was dripping from Soledad’s fangs.

On the other hand, I was VERY impressed with Joel Pollak - he was well-informed, expressed himself well, challenged Soledad, didn’t let her get him off track, showed a lot of courage & toughness and generally irked the ire of Soledad mightily in a polite and gentlemanly way. AB is smiling.
