The Marxist Kenyan and I are nearly the same age. College “videos” in the early 1980s? The VCR was barely happening yet. Video cameras were quite rare.

Regardless, knowing what I did and how much I’ve matured since then, I really couldn’t care less what he did in college.

Thankfully, there are no videos of my college exploits. Sadly, today’s young people won’t be able to say the same when they’re 50.

Absolutely correct. However, there were home movies in the early 60s using super 8 film, so maybe that's what he has. We can hope he's got something good.

I hear people say things like that all the time. No time in my life would I support communism or socialism. I am about the same age as Obama. It never crossed my mind to do so. Sounds like the Jane Fonda defense to me. I know people can change but WHY would anyone support such a death wish idea to begin with????????

Yes, video cameras/recorders weren’t in common usage, but Bell & Howell 8mm movie cameras sure were.

Very likely Breitbart’s use of “video” is generic

That depends on just how radical his behavior was. If he was hanging around with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn at that point in time, it's going to be a problem.
