The back-and-forth between CNNs Soledad OBrien and Breitbart.com Chief Editor Joel Pollak continued on this mornings Starting Point, as OBrien sought to dispel misinformation about the late Professor Derrick Bell and Critical Race Theory, which have been the subject of smears by the Big sites. After a tough interview with OBrien last week, Pollaks Big sites went on a vengeful tirade against the CNN anchor, posting a flurry of articles seeking to discredit her, and promoting their warped vision of Prof. Bell.
Last week, Breitbart.com released one of the bombshell videos that the late Andrew Breitbart promised at this years secret, a 1991 clip of then-Harvard Law Review President Barack Obama introducing Prof. Bell at a pro-diversity protest, and even (gasp!) hugging him. The idea is that, because Barack Obama admired Prof. Bell, who was the first tenured black professor at Harvard Law, and even embraced him (on video and everything!), all of Professor Bells opinions are automatically transferred into Obama through some sort of negrosmosis.
The smear then depends on depicting Professor Bell, who is no longer able to speak in his own defense, as a radical and a racialist, neither of which is remotely true unless youre the preacher from Footloose. Its the same old scary black man trope that has dominated certain segments of the conservative blogosphere since President Obama got within spitting distance of winning the 2008 election, and which has been a feature of American politics for eons.
OBrien brought on Professor Dorothy Brown, author of Critical Race Theory: Cases, Materials and Problems, to explain Critical Race Theory, and to point out that, even though the theory isnt actually radical, there is also nothing in President Obamas record to suggest that he is an adherent of it.

Just askin’
Libtards have a vested interest in making everything about race so that they can use apparent oppression of some as a justification for the use of force to violate natural rights of others.
I see none of Critical Race Theory in President Obama, either in his writings, or what hes actually done in office.
Because of the above, it would be the worst example of evasion of reality to not see Critical Race Theory in President Obama
Didn’t he use to play Squiggy on “Laverne and Shirley?”
Mr Media Training
So when “Tommy Christopher” bravely and boldly attacked me on my blog
after Mediaite used my content on Fox News without attribution (see
comments), it wasn’t actually “Tommy Christopher” attacking me?
http://www.mrmediatraining.com....
Mr. Christopher claims that “the pen name has afforded my family freedom
from the harassment that I take on as a public figure.” I’d suggest it
afforded him the freedom to write vicious things about people who don’t
hide behind pseudonyms, while conveniently not having to worry about the
consequences of doing so.

See: What is Mediaite blogger Tommy Christophers real name?
Is it possible Tommy Christopher aka Mr. McNulty and his brother - an activist - both fight to keep their real last name secret because they are related to a New York Times executive who seems to only follow liberal bloggers on her Twitter account?
It sure got quiet after I outed Mr. Christopher. I guess we both have no readers or followers on the Twitter.

Cnn goes on record as in the bag for Obama.
“Translation: OBrien, having embarrassed herself in her interview with Pollack, brings on someone who makes their bread and butter with Critical Race Theory to defend Critical Race Theory and pretend OBrien didnt embarrass herself.
And Im not speaking as a Breitbart.com reader; Im speaking as a social scientist whos been in academia for 25 years as a student and professor, one whos actually taught about critical theory approaches to social science though you cant really call any critical theory approach a science, since theyre normative, not objective. Let me put it so simply that maybe even someone like OBrien can understand: things like Critical Race Theory are considered a joke by pretty much any academic who make their living from it. It is the Al Sharpton of academia: a money making scam feeding off racial resentment that is tolerated only because paying them off is considered preferable to the alternative (the sort of building occupations, protests, threats, etc. in the sixties that resulted in these academic positions being created in the first place).”

The Wikipedia entry for Critical Race Theory “was edited 28 times that day After this exchange. The original talked specifically to white supremacy, and the edited version took it out completely. Before that day, the entry had been edited twice in the last year. Here is a link to the before and after version on Wiki..

Here is the link for the edits done right after Soledad made a fool of herself.

It is hilarious how liberals will attempt to bend and shape the truth/reality to fit the narrative. They would make the Soviets proud. And the legions of useful idiots here in the US who are unquestionably compliant with the lie, would make them proud too.”
Wasn’t O’Brien the one who shared an “Obama bump” with some co-host recently? (No, I don’t mean a line of coke; rather, a fist bump which they called an “Obama bump.”
Rush has spoken of the Lavender mafia, which is apparently worldwide. Urban Meyer apologized over the weekend for thinking about having those players that mess up wear lavender players.
I wonder what doctoral color wears lavender. I don’t know, but I bet it’ll be discontinued as an insult.
Too bad. Lavender is a pretty plant and smells good. How it ever became associated with this crowd is beyond me. Maybe they identify with plants.
Tommys confrontation at a past CPAC with Andrew Breitbart
He is also at times thin-skinned, flies into a rage at slight provocation, and lashes out often when its not warranted

Tommy Christopher is lying scum...even Markos Moulitsas Zúniga of Daily Kos agrees with that! He lied to him too about a completely made up story.
Very good find!
I have put it up where others can eee on my site today. Thanks.
I saw the Betty/Veronica thing while looking.
‘Didnt he use to play Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley?’
Looks just like him...but that’s Andrew Squigman to you ;-)
Is that him?
Brings a vision to mind that I had reading 1984 a long time ago, men in visors typing and editing wordspeak. Did quite understand what the author was taking about at the time, but I do now.
