On her MSNBC program this afternoon, NBC News' Andrea Mitchell said the network would not air the clip of then-State Senator Barack Obama endorsing redistribution in 1988 because the network could not "authenticate" the clip.

"Let's explain this redistribution issue because we have not authenticated this 14-year-old tape from Loyola College when Barack Obama was a state senator. So because we have not independently at NBC news and MSNBC authenticated it, we're not airing it," Mitchell said.

"But the basic issue is they're accusing President Obama, as John Sununu said to be yesterday, of class warfare. That is trying to change the subject," Mitchell added.

Am I to understand this post is not accurate? It does appear to be inaccurate based upon the person named in the post. If post is accurate, need more information, please.

Yes, you’re right. They are shameless.

Is that fair to those 11 people watching?

Wow, I didn't realize their viewing audience more than doubled since last year!

Everyone should have heard the blurb which came across cbs radio. This was mentioned and quickly went to the 47 percent line. If one was not informed, one would not know what cbs radio was talking about. Yep, all of them are up the rear of zer0 ... feeding. Sorry, if this statement is too strong; simply cannot find a better way to state the truth.

Are you a Troll???

[no-to-illegals]

Beginning to think there are many on the board. Saw a few comments, on the board, recently causing my radar to go blip ... blip. Thankfully the trolls are losing the war of words and ideas. Me thinks they are here to see what we really think. I believe they are disappointed.

Isn’t it time for that old crater-faced woman to retire?

[Gator113]

Yes, I have noticed several that have recently shown up.

You know, with some things I can even understand how the left can overlook their double standard. It’s easy to see the fault in someone else that you can’t see in yourself. But lately they are so far over the cliff, it is inconceivable to me that they could be unaware of how partisan they are, and how ridiculous they look, twisted into pretzels in order to foist Zippy and his band of Marxists on us.

Doesn’t this amount to a campaign donation?

I also owe you an apology. Please accept my humble regrets and my apology for having been out of line.

Andrea Mitchell’s nose is so far up Obama’s ass that... (this could be fun!)

(1) ...lump in his throat is her nose.

(2) ...he has to open his mouth so she can see.

No apology necessary.

I'm not with the press - I don't mind telling my sources. LOL

[no-to-illegals]

another LOL ... would not apologize to anyone in the press knowingly. Would attempt to reeducate the pressies.

[no-to-illegals]

It clearly has to be both Peet.

What? Andrea took time to pull her head out of O’s a$$ to speak?
