Earlier today, Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released “the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.” The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright--about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours. However, the video has been selectively edited--either by the Boston television station or by Buzzfeed itself. Over the course of the day, Breitbart.com will be releasing additional footage that has been hidden by Obama's allies in the mainstream media and academia. Breitbart.com Editor-in-Chief Joel Pollak and Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro will appear on The Sean Hannity Show to discuss the tape. The full tape will be released tonight on Fox News' Hannity.

Guess I’ll have to break my own rule and watch Hannity tonight.

What Boston TV station?

And in who’s back yard did they have it buried during the ‘08 campaign?

A point it appears that many posters are missing (purposely?).

WHY IS A EDITED VERSION BEING RELEASED AT ALL?

The edited version is innoculous, I even saw it posted in an article (released today of course) entitled, 'A President is Born!'. LOL.

Why was a video that show Obama being so 'presidential', hidden for so long? Why wasn't it released before the last election?

The mere fact of this edited video has been released today speaks volumes on what is going to be released tonight. They will try to spread this video far and wide, and tell everyone that 'this is what the Republicans have on Obama that is so damaging - LOL!'. They are doing this, so that their lemmings won't be tempted to watch the video being released tonight. They will tell themselves, 'I already saw that video, there was nothing on it, stupid Republicans.'.

This edited copy is not being released to sway Republicans - we will still watch the one released tonight. They are releasing it to try and limit the damage the video might do to their base. And if it could damage their base, that must be one fine video!

I may be right, or I may be wrong, but if we start seeing this video pushed all over HuffPost, and MSNBC, and the other lib outlets, my money is on my being right!

If it’s edited, no one will take it seriously. I hope he’s got better stuff than this.

Now hang on a second. He told us in his book that he palled around with the marxist professors and the structural feminists -- you know, so he wouldn't come off as a square. But is it common knowledge that he was leading protests on behalf of radical lefty professors? This seems like a deeper commitment to "the cause" than what most people probably are aware that he had.

However, the video has been selectively edited--either by the Boston television station...

Shades of the Clintons leaks regarding their trials. Leak information yourself in spurts so the full news isn't so damning.

Also, by SOMEONE circulating an edited tape, the Leftist talking meme on the social media can be "well, the tapes were edited..." just as they use that talking point to disregard the ACORN tapes Breitbart released.
